joey do you not like my post? 🙁
Is anyone else a trifle disturbed by #18?
I realize that if you’re dying in the dessert, the recycling of urine is a good idea and might save your life.
However, in this case I don’t think it applies.
Sara, I would recommend finding a different way to fill up your water bottle. Perhaps a water fountain? Perhaps a mountain stream?
(Yes, I know this entire comment is disgusting)
I don’t think #18 means filling it back up with your pee. It means go pee, and then while in the bathroom refill the waterbottle with water.
And Sara, I love your post. My response was just something that I do that is something I do to procrastinate. It wasn’t “Go have your own website!” but rather “I have my own website.”
