A general rule of threes for survival is that to stay alive you must: * Breathe air within three minutes* * Find warmth/shelter within three hours * Drink water within three days * Eat food within three weeks * Most people pass out after one to two minutes without air. Some can last much longer than three minutes without difficulty. These are rough guidelines to help you prioritize if you're ever in trouble. Most people will start having serious problems earlier on, which may further success in later finding air/shelter/water/food. There are instances of people going beyond each of these marks, some substantially, but most will continue to live at least as long as is mentioned above.
