I had never heard about this rule, so thank you for the write up. It's one of those things that should be in a random stupid things not to do in your like rulebook that should exist.

I have a few of these rules, that I picked up at random points in my life that either saved my life later on or caused permanent damage because I was young and stupid and didn't bother listening to my elders experiences.

I have a few of these rules

Interesting, can you share some other such rules?

[cutemonster]

That'd be interesting yes

Here are some (obvious ones?). Loud music, tinnitus. No seat belt, wheelchair. Drink salt water, get more thirsty.

I have this one with power tools: "Power tool, power cool", which is intentionally silly, and that just means that if I'm using a power tool I'll put on safety glasses.

Nice. “Power cool” sounds so much better than “safety squints.”

I’ve read drinking a small amount of salt water a single time during a survival situation can be beneficial versus no water. I leave it to readers to research this themselves further
