I Call BS On The Rule Of Threes For Survival — I May Have A Better Idea

In my typical method of going against the grain, I call BS on The Rule of Threes Of Survival. In this short article, I cover the shortfalls of this simplistic and unrealistic standard of survival requirements that have been spread throughout our community for years.

I also offer a possible solution – an acronym (ASS-WTF) that may serve the prepping community better.

The Rule Of 3’s For Survival

• AIR: You can survive three minutes without breathable air (unconsciousness) or in icy water.
• Shelter: You can survive three hours in a harsh environment (extreme heat or cold).
• Water: You can survive three days without drinkable water.
• Food: You can survive three weeks without food.

 

ASS-WTF – Wouldn’t This Be Better?

ASS-WTF: Survival Priorities

• Air: Get to breathable air.
• Security: Ensure your safety from surrounding threats.
• Shelter: Limit exposure to extreme temperatures and elements.
• Water: Find or make safe and drinkable water.
• Then: Next/Finally
• Food: Secure food. Calorie and nutrition intake is necessary to survive.
