Come on for 10 days you don't need to eat anything and you will survive. You only need water that's it. The mountain lion though ...
10 days without food hits differently when you are hiking through mountains 16 hours a day vs sitting on your couch
Plus when you don’t know how long you’ll be going for
The better headline would have been:
Lol he doesn't know the number until it's over. In the meantime he's just going day by day
Rule of 3's. You can go 3min without oxygen, 3 hrs without shelter, 3 days without water, and 30 days without food. It is a bit of generalization, but its close enough to set priorities in survival situations.
Three hours without shelter? I don't believe that's correct.
Highly depends on the conditions outside. If it's a blizzard or wet bulb heat, you won't last 3 hours.
Very true. The rule of threes is meant to be a general rule. Some restrictions may apply.
3 hours in the cold, theee week without food, otherwise I have the same time table :-)
I have heard this before but not the shelter part.
What's the longest you've gone without food?
7 Days https://tube.jeena.net/w/hSpSWFhcCMwVUtBq1CdZJQ
I think I did 5 once. I wanted to see how long I could make myself go and that was when I had enough and l ate something.
