Every time I pick up a gun rag, I laugh harder and harder at the ad houses' increasingly weird attempts to appeal to our inner tough guy.

This one was one golden droplet of liquid sunshine over the rim of the juice glass.

That's seriously cruel if there's a chance that your niche buyer is prohibited. Well, or at least should be.

The problem with that pic is the guy has what appears to be snow and or ice on his face.....I don’t know about you guys, but if I had the option of melting snow and or ice to get drinking water I would go that route first before drinking my own piss.....lol What they should have done is show a guy about to keel over in a desert environment then it would have made a little more sense, but I still ain’t drinking my own piss.....lol
 
Well possibly if you happen to be one of the people that enjoys watching a certain English person who states he has a "special forces" background and makes shows doing stuff that would probably get you injured &/or killed in real survival situations, while always making sure to indulge his fetish for waste products, then this might just be right up your alley.

Generally a bad idea in a really dehydrated situation to be drinking your own waste products. (Because if you were hydrated enough that your waste products were nice and clear and fine to drink... you wouldn't be thinking about drinking waste products).

That one waste product drinking "survival expert" will get people killed following his stupid stuff.
 
That dotting come from a less than great prostate.
Makes it hard to do any "writing" especially cursive.
And if your "dragging your junk you'll have to be prostrate.

Damn near 7 yrs "Prostate" free. (y) Still, the cursive just wasn't working out. I think I wanted back in the truck too much where my sippy cup was resting. And you're right again. I woulda had to been "Prostrate". lmfao

I think only people that do drink their own urine (and probably munch boogers as an aperitif) would be interested.

I agree, I haven't picked up a gun rag in YEARS but looked at some last month. I didn't buy any but was impressed with the ink and paper --they never looked that nice back in the day (when gun rags were all you had). They still have the same old shit though, and if you've seen one AR you've seen 'em all.

I couldn't bring myself to purchase any of the rags, didn't see any information I needed, especially worth paying for. They all seemed geared toward one thing: enticing the "man in me" to buy a rifle, and exploiting the gear queer factor.
