which apocalyptic senario do you fear the worst?

Piss will keep you alive a bit longer.

Yeah, but dehydration accelerates water reabsorbtion from your urine. You'd have to start drinking your piss as soon as you run out of water or you'll be drinking concentrated urea. Not sure how much time that buys you.

Agreed. I watch a lot of survival shows and have read a few RL accounts of ship wrecks etc. If you can drink your piss it'll save you for a little while longer in the absence of any alternative. I'm thinking maybe one bladder full before the concentration of urea in your piss does more harm than good.

I'd rather fashion rain catchers and solar stills than drink my own piss. You should have at least 3 gallons of water onhand in the case of an emergency, those should hopefully keep you going long enough til it rains once that you can refill them.

Every home has a 'hot water' tank. If the power goes out, and there is no pressure for your taps, there is always a valve to empty the 'hot water' tank, which of course is clean, drinkable water. The water in the toilet tank is also drinkable, I personally wouldn't touch the water in the bowl unless absolutely necessary. As far as relief, I would dig a hole in the back yard and to my business there.

As far as Trotts idea with the BBQ. Last summer I cooked my meals twice a day for a good month and half on a 20lbs bottle of propane.

I try not to think about the most possible worst thing that could happen in this world. I try to think about the positive things. I'm going to try to flip this thread to ask, What is your best idea that could happen to this world?

I am going to go with one of the Slider's scenarios. There is an epidemic to man not women and wipes out everyone but 'the purge'(immunity) men are wiped out. So there is about 60 men to make mankind survive.
In that one particular episode, there was one man who had 60 partners in a day. He had the record
