  1. Ya dude, the Man vs Wild guy actually tells people drinking your own pee (un-distilled) when dehydrated is fine...which, it is CERTAINLY not

     

    Click here if the movie does not play.

     

    Nothing that he says is inaccurate. He's not suggesting that you can keep on drinking your own pee and survive, he's just suggesting it as a last resort to get fluids in your body until you find water. It's well known that you will eventually die if you keep on drinking your own urine, but as a temporary solution, it's almost always safe.

  2. Just did some searching around on some other websites.. Looks like the average ice thickness right now (based on other peoples reports) on the lakes is anywhere from 6 - 10 inches'. That's "good to go" in my books.

     

    Reports since this past Sunday, Dec. 2:

     

    McGregor - 7.5 inches (3 guys in 4 hours - 17 whities and two 5lb burbots)

    Chain Lakes - 8 inches (2 guys - 20 fish each, no mention of time)

    Blood Indian - 8-10 inches (1 guy - "excellent day", no numbers mentioned)

  3. The only other places I might suggest are Crawling Valley Reservoir, Lake Newell, and the Chain Lakes.

     

    They're a bit farther then you had mentioned (about 1.5 hours-ish), but I think they're definitely worth the drive. There's some big pike in both Crawling Valley and Newell..

     

    Chain Lakes.. the sheer quantity of pan-sized trout will keep you busy for hours!
