so that's what his fucking name is
I've been watching his show here in Spain for the past couple of months without knowing the name of him or the program.

they just showed the desert one where he eats rattlesnake

I know the behind-the-scenes survival advisor for that show
The crew first asked him whether you could make a water carrier from snakeskin, then a little while later whether you could drink your own piss.
He told Bear to drink a feck load of water before filming that one.

I'd seen another program
a few years ago about drinking piss in the desert.

it wasn't direct urine-to-bottle though- it involved covering and evaporating the water in the urine, and drinking that somehow

Yep, it's just distilling the water.
Easy if you have the materials to hand.

I might hasten to add that distilled water is just as bad because it strips the minerals and salts from your body.
