Maximum survival time is around eight weeks. A person can only survive 2-4 days without water, so that's always the first priority in a survival situation. Food should be secondary to shelter in priority. Don't panic if you can't find food. Most people don't realize they'll be relatively safe for three weeks. |

However, myself...i would used up every single resource before i left that car. If i read the story correctly, where they found his body, was less then a mile away from the car. God bless him for doing what he did....even though it wasnt the right move in my eyes, he gave the ultimate sacrifice to save his family. |
