    3 hours without shelter?

    I’ll accept the others but that one’s just cobblers.

      Weather extremes. Blizzards, deserts, hurricanes, life rafts… If you’re stranded on a cool summer afternoon, obviously you can be outside for more than 3 hours, but without shade you might get a sunburn.

      It’s meant as a survivalist priority list. Build a shelter, find water, make fire if you can. Food can wait until tomorrow or the next day.

        Been there, done that. That’s why I questioned the 3 hours thing. Then again my training/service was temperate and jungle.
