Gotta go with B on this one. That old "rule of threes" is burned into my brain from years of prepping and a little bit of nagging from my grandkids during camping trips, ha! Air, shelter, water, food—in that order, unless you’re being chased by a bear, in which case I recommend skipping straight to “run like the wind.” I mean, three sources of food sounds nice, but my garden’s got more than three weeds trying to eat *me* most days.

Bonus tip: If you ever get caught out without shelter and it’s starting to rain, giant rhubarb leaves totally work as an emergency hat. Can’t say much for style

Three seems like a lucky number, but if I told three people where I was going, they'd all try to join me and eat my snacks! Do dogs count as one of the "people" though?
