Specifically, bad survival advice.
You need electrolytes, and there are plenty in sea water
Anything is edible if you’re hungry enough
Cutting a hole in your chest will let oxygen get directly into your lungs
Drink urine even though you’re body is trying to get rid of it
All mushrooms are fine
Any terrible survival tips will get you a bonus point.
Have an interesting week.
