Most people can live 2-3 weeks without food but only 2-3 days without water

If you have nothing but water you can outlive a lot of zombies

A Sawyer water filter or a Lifestraw is good insurance and can easily be carried to bug out

The rule of 3s.

You can survive for three hours without shelter
You can survive for three days without water
You can survive for three weeks without food

I have a Sawyer mini which is good for certain instances but they don't take out chemical toxins. Good for rain water and spring water that you trust.

I'm relying on bucket set ups using Doulton and Aquacera ceramic candle filters.

I have a good spring close by plus rain water. Still plan to chlorinate and then filter.

Can't be to careful!

A tin cup. That's all you need... and a means to make a hat-full of fire....

Everybody forgets the tin cup. A good knife, a good tommy, and a tin cup. You'll be fine.

I live in rain forest - water everywhere. Lots of deer. More importantly for me (because of my old age) are my neighbors who know how to live off the land.

What is fantasy planning ie #2?

The Rule of 3’s: 3 hours in severe inclement weather; three days w/o water; three weeks w/o nourishment.

I went to the range today. Beautiful weather, saw a chocolate `57 Chevy on the way there, few shooters. No misfires, good groups.
It was a good day.

30 seconds without your head
3 minutes without air
3 hours without shelter
3 days without water
3 weeks without food
3 months without faith
3 years without freedom
