In his 1953 autobiography, Danish explorer Peter Freuchen claimed that in 1926, he became trapped in a blizzard while running a dog team and was forced to take shelter under his sled for 30 hours while snow built up and froze around him. When he tried to emerge, he found he was entombed in ice and unable to break free with his hands alone. Thinking quickly, he took a shit right there, shaped the turd into a chisel, and allowed it to freeze solid. He then claims he was able to use his newly made tool to chip his way free and make it back to camp. Peter was the only witness to his supposed escape. The study mentions it's based on an Inuit ethnographic account, however. Maybe Peter, having spent much time in the Arctic with Inuit peoples simply took the story for himself. With the runners of the study finding that they were unable to replicate such a technique, it lends credibility to the claim that story may have been fabricated.

Because sometimes you just have to find out.

Sometimes you just got to know.

Years go by but the internet legend lives on.

Dunno about that science article, but I bought a poop knife a while ago and it works great!

Scissors are more practical in any case.

I should rewatch Mythbusters.

I would watch videos fact checking these knives, I think I saw a chocolate knife or cardboard knife

The alleged knife would be frozen, not dried. It would be much like the ice he was enclosed in

I make it into a iurine-ice-bullet.. untraceable

I don't think that this is the type of project you can go in "half-assed." You need both cheeks for this.

Might as well get paid grant money for poop time.

Fiber maybe but no one is eating actual fur.

Or too much. Exactly my thought
