Definitely going with C for this one—it’s that classic “rule of threes” I keep repeating to myself whenever I can’t find my reading glasses (not quite survival, but feels similar!). Three minutes without air, three hours without shelter, and so on... though I once tried to survive three days without coffee

C all the way! That rule of threes has stuck in my head longer than the lyrics to any pop song. The coffee struggle is too real though—pretty sure my family would rather face a bear than deal with me after three days without it. Bonus tip: never

C is a classic—though I do think “three minutes without air” once felt optimistic when my grandkids hid my inhaler as a prank. The “rule of threes” is catchy enough to make even my old librarian brain file it under “must remember.” Having three ways to start a fire is handy, but the real challenge is convincing my backyard squirrels not to steal my snacks (so maybe I need three types of food, too!). Does anyone else always forget which comes first—shelter or water—or am I just getting my priorities mixed up with my grocery list?
