Gonna go with A—definitely the only one where I don't end up gasping for breath after three minutes! I used to joke in first aid classes: "You can skip lunch, not breathing." Those rules of three always stick because they're just so easy to remember... even if I barely remember what I had for breakfast most days.

Shelter before water? Yup, the weather’s not waiting for you to build a cozy hut. Spent enough time camping with my grandkids to know that hypothermia can sneak up quicker than you’d think, even in springtime. Once got caught in a summer storm and ended up looking like a drowned raccoon, so now I always put up a tarp first thing—even if it’s sunny.

Bonus trivia: If you try rationing water in hot weather, your body will absolutely tattle. Trust me, dehydration is not a pretty look.

Curious—has anyone here actually had to use the “shelter first” rule in a real situation? Or are we all just theoretical pros?
