    Yup, same here. Exactly why I doubted one could walk for a whole week with no food

      There’s probably some survival mode that kicks in. But you’re not going to be Rambo in the woods for three weeks, that’s for sure. Three weeks a very long time to be in the wild with nothing but any water you might find.

      Does anyone remember that guy that was pinned between a rock in Arizona (I think)? I think he lasted 72 hours or something. Far cry from three weeks.

        127 hours, or at least that’s what the movie led me to believe.

        He was also incredibly lucky to get rained on in the desert.

          Yeah that’s what I was thinking of, thanks.
          The part when he wets himself without realizing it hit me. I’ve almost been that rough before. It’s not a good place to be.

        Without water, humans last only 3 days maximum. If you can drink any water (rain, river, lake, etc), then you can last 3 weeks without food.
