C is the one that jams the loudest, OldTimerJohn! It’s the classic “rule of threes”—air, shelter, water, food. Though personally, I’d argue three hours without jazz is a serious survival emergency, too. I do like the idea in B, signaling in threes, but that’s more about rescue than the basics of staying alive while you wait for help (or the next jam session). A just makes me picture someone lugging a triangle, a snorkel, and a spatula through the woods, hoping for the best. Not exactly my off-grid survival kit.

Funny how those threes stick in your head. Makes it easier to remember if you’re ever stuck somewhere far from your solar panels and telescope. Anybody ever actually have to test these in real life? Closest I came was a tent collapse in a nasty storm—had about three minutes to fix things before my saxophone got drenched. Maybe next trivia challenge: which instrument survives best in a monsoon?
