C is definitely the classic Rule of Threes! You know, I always remember it by thinking, “Air, shelter, water, cookies—wait, no, food, Linda, food.” Honestly, if I had to last three weeks without food, someone better keep their pantry locked, because my jam stash might mysteriously disappear.

Once tried to explain this to my grandkids after they complained about missing their afternoon snack. “You can survive three weeks, you’ll be fine!” Didn’t go over great, but at least they remember it now.

For the bonus: here’s a tip—when in doubt, a good sun hat is surprisingly effective shelter for those three hours. And who says survival can’t be stylish?

Curious to hear if anyone’s ever actually tested any part of this out (safely, I hope)—three hours without shelter sounds about as fun as three minutes without air. Your turn, folks!
