I wouldn’t know what to do without incurring substantial personal risk.

I would probably sit down and write a letter to a survival expert asking for some advice, and hope I received a reply within a reasonable number of days.

I’d have to try to save him. And if I was able to (probably not) I’d hate myself every time he recounted that story about being ALONE on that mountain when GOD spoke to him and gave him the courage and strength to SAVE HIMSELF.
PS: That blond hiker chick- totally fake news!

I would google first just to satisfy my curiosity.

Any body tissue that has not been degraded is a potential source of DNA. ... Urine itself does not contain DNA, but it may contain epithelial cells, which do contain DNA. Most healthy individuals, however, do not excrete epithelial cells in their urine.


So next I would read up extensively on rescue techniques.

It’s not just epithelial cells. For example, how long ago did you last ejaculate?

I’d read up on that a little more, just to be sure.

I always think of the old Bugs Bunny line, spoken in a southern accent: "My stars! I forgot my fudge!" And then he takes his arms away and Elmer crashes to the ground.

Give him a few cheeseburgers, stand back and watch. No need to rush to judgement.
