well, he fakes most of his dangerous stunts, so I'm just going to assume this is a prop elephant turd. Yes, just a prop..

I'm not going to watch this to see if he boiled his poop or not, but even "clean" looking water can have microbes causing diarrhea and dysentery, which in a "survival situation" would lead to death.

I'm sorry but if he had water why wouldn't he just drink it instead of boiling poop in it?

Bear Grylls is really just a very dedicated troll. He gets off on knowing that at least one person who gets lost in the African savannah will end up drinking elephant shit.

I'd have died from trying to get water by chewing the wrong kind of plant, or from drinking the plasma from separated animal blood LONG before I would have been willing to try drinking elephant poop water. Not all of us have the luxury of being stranded in the wild with a camera crew and a medically-trained safety team.

So you say. Get lost on a mountain somewhere for 4 hours without any supplies and see how quickly you go from thinky thinkerson to Lord of the Flies.

Been there, done that. You using it as "Lord of the Flies" fodder is more disturbing than that experience was.

Does "before" mean something else now?
