Yes, it's safe, but as a previous poster mentioned, it's counterproductive. Your kidneys are very efficient at concentrating urine when you need to conserve fluid, and drinking concentrated urine is about as useful as drinking salt water. You will just end up thirstier and more dehydrated. Better ideas are distilling the urine, or collecting rainwater or snow to drink. Fast moving streams are also a mostly safe bet, as is tying bandanas around your ankles and walking through tall grass in the morning dew.

properly i don't relatively think of it would count whose urine it replaced into. yet possibly if the different individual lived an fairly undesirable existence type (smoking, rapid meals, drugs) then i might quite drink my own. yet in basic terms after boiling it first.

I think your supposed to urinate in a cup and use a cover to catch the evaporating water.

Only about the first time through, then you're not doing yourself any favors as the osmolality and concentration of nasty metabolic wastes increases markedly.
