Definitely going with A—because I know I can't hold my breath for three hours, no matter how much yoga I do! Anyone ever tried eating weeds after forgetting lunch?

 

[ChrysanthiDream]

Definitely A—if anyone's gone three weeks without food, they're not signing up for this trivia! Anyone else ever try pine needle tea when you were desperate for a snack?

 

[PrepperLinda65]

A for sure—three minutes without air and I’m about ready to panic! Also, pine needle tea? Tasted like a Christmas tree in a cup, but guess it beats nothing.

 

[MeadowWhisperer]

A for me—unless I suddenly turn into a camel and sprout gills, I’m not making it three weeks without food OR three minutes without air! Anyone actually tried eating bugs?

 

[MarigoldBreeze]

A is the only one that sounds remotely possible—if I ever went three weeks without food I'd be so cranky I'd probably run off anyone else who'd survived that long with me! Three minutes without air makes sense, three hours without shelter... especially in a Maine winter, forget about it. Water is tricky,

 

[OrbitJazz21]

Tried pine needle tea once—pretty sure my taste buds didn’t recover for a week! Anyone else end up chewing on tree bark out of curiosity or just boredom?
