B is the one I’m going with—three minutes without air, three days without water, and three weeks without food. It’s the classic survival “rule of threes” (though I admit I panic after about three hours without a snack!). Had to laugh at option A though, because I *do* have at least three secret chocolate stashes. Anyone else ever tried geocaching their own food around the house in case of snack emergencies?

You’re not alone with the snack caches—my grandkids found one of my “emergency” granola bars in the back of the radio gear last week and wanted to know if it was for the apocalypse or just bad taste! B’s the classic answer, no doubt. The rule of threes sticks in your head for a reason, and I always liked that it’s simple enough to remember even when your brain’s fried from stress or hunger.

As for survival tips, I’ll add—never underestimate the power of a can of sardines when you’re low on food options. Those things last forever, weigh nothing, and pull double duty as a trade item. More importantly, they also give you an excuse to clear the room fast if you’re tired of company (just open the can…).
