When you break down in the middle of nowhere you have a lack of knowledge of your whereabouts and therefore you are not able to contact nearby services such as petrol station due to no available telecommunications. This disorientation and distress due to the difficult situation.

Yes, drinking water that you have provided quickly becomes nonexistent throughout your hard, hot and humid journey. When people arrive in the outback most are unprepared and unaware of realistically their near future by not providing themselves with enough water.

In the short term, it is safe to drink your urine in small doses, but it isn't 100% sterile. Drink water as often as possible, but urine can be drank as an emergency option. It is always good to stay hydrated, even if it means drinking your pee.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Taking a golden shower. Drinking from your own spigot. Sipping a warm cup of herbal pee.

Whatever you want to call it, the practice of drinking urine goes back millennia. Known today as urine therapy, urophagia, or urotherapy, the medicinal use of urine is still practiced in some parts of the world.

Reports dating back to ancient Rome, Greece, and Egypt suggest that urine therapy has been used to treat everything from acne to cancer. There was a time when doctors tested for diabetes in urine by taste.

Today, proponents make similarly broad-based claims about urine's curative powers. So, should you be mixing your morning pee into your morning smoothie? Probably not.

There's no scientific evidence to support claims that drinking urine is beneficial. On the contrary, research suggests that drinking urine can introduce bacteria, toxins, and other harmful substances into your bloodstream. It can even place undue stress on your kidneys.

Read on to learn more about the potential effects of drinking urine.

Urine is composed of fluid and waste products that your body doesn't need. Your kidneys work as filters, removing excess water and cellular byproducts from the bloodstream. This waste is sent down to the bladder as urine.

Water makes up 91 to 96 percent of your urine. The rest is made from salts, ammonia, and byproducts produced during normal body processes.

Your urinary tract extends from your kidneys to your urethra. You have two kidneys, one on each side of the body. The kidneys send urine down to the bladder through two muscular tubes called ureters. When your bladder is full, nerve endings send a signal to your brain that it's time to find a bathroom.

When you empty your bladder, urine exits the body through a small tube called the urethra. The urethra is home to some types of bacteria. Normally, these bacteria don't cause any problems, unless they grow out of control. Research on urine composition, however, shows that these bacteria can contaminate urine as it exits the body.

In 1945, John W. Armstrong, a British naturopath, published a popular book about the alleged curative power of drinking one's own urine. The book, " The Water of Life: A Treatise on Urine Therapy," claims that urine can cure all major illnesses. He claimed that those near death needed to eat and drink nothing but their own urine for several weeks and have urine massaged into their skin daily.

Other claims about urine therapy are anecdotal or stem from ancient texts. Claims have been made that drinking urine may treat the following conditions:

In modern-day Nigeria, some traditional communities still use urine as a home remedy for children with seizures.

There's no scientific evidence to support any of these claims.

In a word, no. The myth that urine is sterile is a pervasive and lasting one. Even some doctors don't know that it's just a myth. The myth about urine being sterile likely dates back to a study of urinary tract infections (UTIs) conducted back in the 1950s. During this study, samples of urine that showed no signs of UTI were labeled "negative."

However, the absence of a UTI - which is caused by an overgrowth of bacteria - isn't the same as the absence of bacteria. More recent studies have shown that urine does in fact contain bacteria that could be harmful if ingested or introduced into the bloodstream through a wound.

While drinking a little bit of your own urine probably won't hurt you, it's definitely not as safe as a glass of water.

Bacteria

Your body is home to many different colonies of healthy bacteria. Your urinary tract contains different types of bacteria. These are harmless unless they start growing out of control. When urine passes through the urinary tract, it becomes contaminated with bacteria. Drinking urine, whether your own or someone else's, introduces bacteria into your system that can cause gastrointestinal problems or other infections.

Toxins

Urine contains waste products that have been filtered out of your bloodstream. Although they're called toxins, these waste products aren't exactly toxic. They are, however, highly concentrated. And your body is trying to get rid of these, because if they stay in the body, they do harm.

Drinking urine reintroduces concentrated waste products into your system. This forces the kidneys to filter them out again, causing unnecessary strain.

Medications

After prescription medications are metabolized, they're excreted through your urine. Drinking your own urine could alter the dose of a medication you're already taking. Drinking someone else's urine could introduce a foreign medication into your bloodstream.

Drinking urine isn't usually good for you. But what if you're stranded on a desert island? Can drinking your own urine save you from dying of dehydration?

Although it makes for a dramatic movie scene, this is just a myth. Drinking urine when you're dying of dehydration would be about the same as drinking seawater - only yuckier.

Urine contains concentrated salts and minerals. To process salt, your kidneys require a certain amount of water. To compensate for increased salt intake, you'd have to pee out more water than you take in from urine. This would actually accelerate the dehydration process.

The U.S. Army Field Manual also instructs soldiers not to drink their own urine in a survival situation.

Drinking your own urine isn't advisable. It can introduce bacteria, toxins, and medications into your system. There's no reason to think that drinking urine would benefit your health in any way.

There are much more effective routes for getting a high dose of vitamins and minerals. Pop a few gummy vitamins - you'll probably prefer the taste!

It was an easy drive and I was looking forward to it: driving from Adelaide to Alice Springs along the Stuart Highway.

It's a journey I've done many times before, both on my own and with my partner, Gary.

This time, I was alone and driving home a car that one of our daughters had just bought in Adelaide.
Yes, that's right - I was a female driving 1500km alone in the outback.
But this time, the drive home to Alice Springs was different.
600 kilometres from home, in the middle of nowhere, I broke down.
This is the story of the lessons I learned - and what you should do if your car breaks down outback.

Middle of Nowhere, North of Coober Pedy

It was Sunday morning, late November, and I was driving a tiny little Holden Barina, a 4 cylinder manual car that's quite common in Australia.

On the very edge of Coober Pedy's mobile phone reception - the LAST mobile phone coverage until Marla, over 200km away up the highway- I heard a loud THUD-THUD-THUD sound coming from under the bonnet.

Cursing, I pulled up straight away and stopped the car.

It didn't sound good.

I poked around under the hood for a little while, suspecting the worst.

Starting the car again, I soon figured out the problem: the fan belt was fraying, and a large piece had come loose and was flapping around, hitting the bonnet and engine as it turned.

No problem, I thought, I've changed a fanbelt before.

I always travel with common spare parts. I happened to have a spare fanbelt in the car and a few basic tools with me as well.
HOWEVER...
Unlike the fanbelts in the older Toyota Landcruisers and Holden Commodores that I'd changed, the Barina's fanbelt was unique.

The engine was mounted SIDEWAYS under the hood and there was no visible way for me to undo the fanbelt.
I began to panic...
Here I was early on a Sunday morning in the middle of nowhere with 600km to go, and I couldn't even do a basic repair on this little beast of car...

I reached for the mobile phone.

I was REALLY lucky.

There was just enough reception to call Gary, at home in Alice Springs.

I explained that I'd broken down and sent him a photo of the fanbelt and its mount. I told him approximately where I was, and asked him to call the Royal Automobile Association's office (RAA) in Coober Pedy.

After hanging up, I waited.

Soon, Gary called back and told me the RAA was on its way. He sounded worried - I was alone and in the hands of strangers. I assured him I'd be okay.

Several people stopped and asked me if I was alright, offering me lifts into Coober Pedy and a tow. I thanked them and explained that the RAA was on its way.

They might have looked at me dubiously - after all, I was a woman alone in the outback- but I assured them that I was fine.

After about 20 minutes, the RAA man came.

He trimmed my fanbelt, and I was able to drive the car back to Coober Pedy, following him.
What happened next was a story in itself.
The RAA man was absolutely stumped.

He'd never seen a fanbelt so difficult to get at before. After several hours of trying, cussing and sweating, we had to Google the workshop manual and read what needed to be done.
Very blurry photo but you get the idea
It turned out that the entire engine had to be undone from its mounts in order to change the fanbelt. It wasn't a one person job - you needed several sets of hands.

So the kind RAA man called on some friends. Even though it was Sunday afternoon, they quickly arrived and after another hour, the fanbelt was finally changed.

There was no way I could have done this on my own.

I thanked the RAA man and his friends - they wouldn't accept a carton of beer as thanks from me, either.

After 6 hours in Coober Pedy, and a lot of frustration from all of us - I was on my way again.
This break down could have been much, much worse if I hadn't been prepared and had my wits about me.
That night I slept at Cadney Roadhouse, then I made it home with no further problems.

In some respects, I was very lucky, breaking down where I did and having the RAA man able to come and get me.
Here's 6 lessons I learned after breaking down in the outback:
Even so, I learned a lot about myself and what to do when the shit hits the fan, you're alone and you're in the middle of nowhere, outback Australia.

1. Common spare parts saved my butt

Even though I couldn't fix the car myself, I had the exact fanbelt that was needed. If I hadn't had one, I would have had a long wait for the part to be sent from Alice Springs or Port Augusta.

This made my breakdown much easier than it might have been.
Oh yeah, take duct tape, too. Don't leave home without it.
When driving outback, take fanbelts, radiator hoses, fuses, oil, WD40, spare water & radiator coolant as the basics. Other simple things that you might want are a handful of screws of various sizes and wire for securing things.

Also, make sure you've got a range of spanners that actually fit your car, and a screwdriver with interchangeable bits.

2. Join an automobile association

I really want to shout this at you: join the RAA, NRMA, AANT - whatever it is in your state.

I've broken down twice and both times, the RAA has saved my skin.
Don't be a tightarse. Get it.
I have a Premium Membership that not only includes emergency callouts, but accommodation and recovery (vehicle towing) as well.

3. Have a means of emergency communication

I was VERY lucky.

I broke down where there was still mobile coverage.

However, there are other options for emergency communications which you may want to consider.

Had I broken down outside of phone reception and as a woman, was wary of accepting help from strangers, I would have asked a passing motorist to contact both Gary (my partner) and the RAA when they got to Coober Pedy. I would have written all of my details on a piece of paper for them to pass the message along.
If I had broken down on a remote, bush track or a dirt road, I would not have left my car - more on that below.
If you're really worried about your message getting through, send it with 2 different motorists, just to be sure.

Other options are to carry a satellite phone or to get a DeLorme personal locator beacon.

I NEVER carry a sat phone when I'm travelling on the Stuart Highway. This is a well-travelled road, there is a lot of passing traffic, and people will stop and help you.

However, as soon as I'm travelling off main, bitumen highways in the outback, I take a sat phone with me.

You can hire satphones ( check this page out), or opt for a DeLorme personal location beacon.

Learn more about the DeLorme personal locator here.

4. Stay with your car

People who perish in the outback are generally people who leave their cars and start walking - especially in the summer heat.

If you break down in the middle of nowhere, STAY WITH YOUR CAR until someone else comes along.

It's really simple: if police or emergency services need to come looking for you, a car is bigger and easier to find than a person.
So please, don't be an idiot. Stay with your car.
Also, your car will provide some shelter - either shade or warmth.

It could save your life.

(Read this story here to see what happens when people don't stay with their cars).
Breaking down in the outback is common.
Before you leave home, go through an outback breakdown scenario in your head. Think about what you would do. Have a plan. Write it down if you need to.

It happens every day - and you never hear about it.

Keep a calm head and think through your options.

You will be able to find help - especially if you've planned what you'd do in an emergency before you leave home.

6. Thirst and heat WILL kill you - other travellers won't

This probably sounds like common sense, but carry water and some emergency food with you.

I had 12 litres of water when I broke down. I also had about a day's worth of snacks.

The biggest cause of death in the outback is not backpacker murderers, deranged psychopaths, snakes or spiders but HEAT and thirst.
Remember this. It could save your life.
Take more water than you need - a 20 litre container is ideal.

Also, be aware that people will stop to help you in the outback - especially if you're a woman travelling alone: families, Grey Nomads, truckies, station people, Aboriginal people from local communities... even overseas backpackers will all stop and check to see that you're ok.

Use your commonsense when accepting help -if someone feels shady or suspect, then say no, but keep in mind that 99% of people are honest, decent people.

People will stop and help you. It's what we do out here.

Read What Other People Have Done

I can hear you saying: well that's fine for YOU, Amanda, you do remote area bushwork all the time. You know what to do.
These people all have one thing in common: they're sensible travellers who've broken down outback.
So I've found some articles written by other people, explaining what THEY did when they broke down outback. These are all ordinary people -not mechanics or even people who travel the outback for a living like I do.

1. Our friends Juz & Dave from Our Naked Australia broke down in the Bungle Bungles, in the Kimberleys, Western Australia. Read how strangers and other travellers helped them fix a much trickier problem than I had: Bungle Bungled Troopy Saga

2. Well known Australian photographer, Kath Swinbourne, talks about men's perceptions of two women travelling together, has a good list of spares, and relates what she did when no one could figure out what was wrong: Dealing With Car Trouble in the Outback

3. Backpackers Ewa and Jakub explain how Aussie Grey Nomads helped them out when they broke down on the way to Uluru: What is the Outback? No worries. Yes, Wucckas!

Please help us and the other people whose stories we've shared by SHARING this post far and wide.
Who knows, you could be saving someone's life.
You'll help other travellers stay safe and know what to do if they break down.

yes, you are able to run out of water very quickly if you drink it all at once. once you drink all the water you have its all gone unless there if a fresh water source nearby which is very unlikely to be in the outback as its a very dry place and water is very limited.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because there is not drinkable water available after you use all the water that you brought with you.

You could have slipped and fallen off trail, or accidentally made a wrong turn at some point which would result in you being lost and desperate to find help. Outback landscapes can be very similar to one another which can mean that it is hard to grasp where you are and how you can get back to where you need to be. You could also find yourself in one of these desperate situations if you fail to take the important precautions that are needed when participating in travel such as this type of travel. Due to there being a lack of reception as well as an unforgiving climate that is hot and dry you need to make sure you are not only fully prepared for anything to happen in terms of food and water, but also letting people know where you are going and other important details that could assist you i a desperate situation. If you don't take these precautions you could be in trouble when travelling in the outback and come across a life threatening situation like the guy in the video has. If you are not familiar with outback travel or the area you are in, you may not be aware of dangers in the area which could get you into a desperate situation.
