The rule of the three's. Under extreme conditions your survival, given decent physical condition, is generally:
3 hours for enviro (think wet and naked w/extreme temps)
3 days hydration (maximum)
3 weeks nutrition.
Intoduce illness, disease, or injury, and each of these markedly decrease survivability; without human intervention.
Still learning. Thanks for the help.
I sure was!
Are MRE's bad?
Obviously we are talking at cross purposes, I apologize if I seemed argumentative, that was not my intent. It appeared to me that you were condemning people in MS I now realize you were not. I was trying to figure out why you chose the phrase you did – I have concluded that we are just reading it differently.
I thought you were insulting the people grieving in MS, I think I was mistaken and I apologize if my questing seemed harassing.
I'd like to join the Amen corner, dog.
Times like these reveal character. I now know a lot of characters on FR who I won't have anything to do with from this point on.
and a wide back pocket that is!
Speaking of fats, they rescued Fats Domino today...He lives in an area that got lots of floodwater...
The tourists being captured, abused, even killed - that's just horrible - and it's sourced to the NYT (for whatever it's worth) so it's not an "unsubstantiated rumor" - God that makes me sick - I know vengeance belongs to the Lord, but I'm longing for some right now.
Send in choppers with guns and wipe them out. Period.
Hastert's a boob.
The levees will be repaired and the water will be pumped out.
There's obviously gonna be a LOT of cleanup, including the razing of condemned properties.
But there is also a LOT of valuable private property and infrastructure that can (and will) be salvaged and refurbished. It'll be expensive, but it will be done. So the number one objective for government should be to rebuild the levees so that they are MUCH more protective than what was there previously.
More horrifying than bodies though include stories of children being raped and actual shots fired at rescuers.
Water is the number one issue the people in the disaster areas are short of, and the rain is DRINKABLE water. This is a very big deal.
You make some really good points.
No problems in Texas. Reunion arena, and the Dallas Convention center are well staffed and prepared. Provision is made for "day passes" so that people can access additional services.
Rebuilding Los Angeles after an earthquake I will buy.
Rebuilding New Orleans as a good part of it is below sea level? No way. Hastert is correct--I don't want my tax dollars rebuilding New Orleans.
That depends on if it fall into the ocean, if so I would say yes I would say do not rebuild!!

There are so many lessons to be learned from this. I think we are getting some of them, but we are not even close, I think, to a full understanding of what we need to know.
Some MREs suck, some are ok...We keep some on hand for emergencies, like getting stuck in the snow, although we are more likely to eat them on a trip cause we can't stop at a restaurant...
