Gotta go with A! That “rule of threes” is about the only math I still remember without grabbing my reading glasses, ha! 3 minutes without air, 3 hours without shelter (especially if it’s freezing or boiling), 3 days without water, and 3 weeks without food. Always cracks me up imagining lugging around three sets of everything like some kind of survival octopus, so B is a solid nope from me.

Learned the shelter part the hard way during a camping trip gone sideways—woke up to tent flapping in the wind, rain pouring, and by noon I was a shivering prune. Built myself a “deborah-cave” out of emergency blankets and sticks, and you better believe I appreciated that shelter rule!

Anyone ever actually try to go three days without water? I’d cave on day one and make sun tea outta puddle water if I had to. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve built as shelter
