9. Planning On Hydrating with Snow? Think Again
Dehydration is a serious issue. After all, a lack of water can and will kill you. Snow and ice are frozen forms of water, so it makes sense that people believe they can just eat snow to survive.
Sadly, all this will do is lower your body temperature, which will put you in even bigger danger.
The good news is that if you have the means to melt snow or ice, you can acquire a good source of drinkable water.
