“””” there’s food, but no water around, DON’T EAT - it takes water to process food and you’ll die from dehydration even faster.””””

Also, assuming a survival situation for a hunter is about overnight, to 3 or 4 days, I tell them to skip worrying about food, don’t expend a lot of energy looking for berries and don’t take up space in their belt kit, with survival gear to fish and hunt rabbits and such.

Good advice - too many focus on “snacks” which literally become dead weight if one is lost/stranded with no available water.
