Looks like the best way to start that fondue party when you are stranded out in the woods. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> you already have the chocolate and a can (and a way to make fire with them)...now best get looking for those berries. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I think the point is that water is a universal need - whether you're in the sahara or the arctic, you're going to need water. Warmth is only necessary in certain situations, not as "important", for some ill-defined meaning of "important". Well, proper temperature should be regulated either direction for optimum health. Too cold, you get hypothermia, too hot & you get heat stroke. Either extreme can quickly kill you faster than dehydration. Eh, maybe they worded it poorly...

Good to know about the coke can and chocolate, because I always carry both of those when I go out. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

10 out of 10 - although some guess work involved.
Maybe I should get the new version of the Boy Scout Handbook.

I disagree with the first question. It said, what is the single most important thing you need to survive in the wild, food, water, or warmth. It said water, I disagree. It said 3 days without water and you die. Well, if you have hypothermia you’ll die a lot quicker than that. Also, you can die of hypothermia in temps as high as 50 degrees if the conditions are right (wet, windy). To see how quickly you can go downhill, check this test Moine did at the Swamp: Hypothermia Testing -- Don't Do This At Home I agree. That was one of the two I missed. Shelter is more important. You can live a month without food, 3 days without water, but you could die of exposure tonight.

I am surprised nobody posted the old saying, yet. However Andy Wayne alluded to it well.
3 minutes without AIR 3 hours without SHELTER 3 days without WATER 3 weeks without FOOD

Anyway, including that one, I missed 2.

When I "missed" that question I stopped taking it. Shelter, water then food... then hugs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
