I believe urine is 99.8% water and .02% unused minerals and from a healthy person their is no bacteria in urine so if it comes to dying of thirst or drinking urine I would drink the urine.I don't know about having it warm though.

It’s several percent urea as well. I don’t think it’s 99.8% water.

It is also has a lot of diffused salts that the body has gotten rid of, also a lot of liquid “toxic” wastes. It does have a large water component, but with a LOT of filtration it could be reused. I would like to see the set up they used for this.

My understanding from reading on survival in the desert is that you can recycle it three times before the concentration of minerals and such becomes toxic, and that is with no other source of water. Do not, however, remember exactly where I read that.
