Who gives a shit what he does off film! We all know what he DOES do ON screen... He does drink dead camel piss straight from the bladder, squeeze water from the turd, eat anything that moves and can survive just as well as Mears. Ex special forces teaches you how to survive, not how to enjoy it. He eats a scorpion to survive. Mears will cook it, pick some nice berries and cook it all up to a nice scorp-riotta served on a carefully carved oak plate on a bamboo table that he made while he was waiting.
