I've wondered how the stuff Les has to scrounge from is picked. I finally decided it's not him, but someone on the production staff that chooses what to give him. Then it's more or less a surprise and he has to figure out how to use it. If anyone knows the definitive answer, I'd appreciate knowing for sure.

One thing I noticed was he had a couple of gallon sized buckets but never saw him use them. He should have used one to pee in and distill from. Pee in the bucket, put a rock in the cup to keep it from floating and put it in the bucket with the plastic on top. Virtually 100 percent recovery. He probably lost 60 or 70 percent by just doing it in the sand. As hot as it was, he probably urinated very little, but if he had been doing that from day one it could have made a big difference.

And buckets are good for digging in the sand too. Half expected some kind of dug out pit under the tree to keep a little cooler.
