NEVER drink salt water to try and survive......

if very unlucky, one might end up with little or nothing just a boat or raft...but when all looks hopeless it might be better advice to slowly drink saltwater before losing hope and life (little sips/little amounts at a time)
just read the book and find out, how a researcher has managed to drink salt water for about a month with what he says: "no adverse effects to health" just to prove the popular belief to be wrong. important is to start drinking very very slowly before one gets really really thirsty..don`t wait till you`re badly dehydrated. (you can disagree with this but keep it in the back of your mind..i will)
the sas survival guide is good for survival on land or rather well equipped at sea.
