Survival Rule of Threes
More Articles Related to PreparednessThe Survival Rule of Threes is a convenient way of memorizing the order of importance for each basic survival necessity. In extreme survival situations you cannot survive more than:
- 3 minutes without air
- 3 hours without shelter
- 3 days without water
- 3 weeks without food
- 3 months without hope
Of course this is just a generalized approximation. Your mileage may vary according to health, resources, and survivor mentality.
