Water

We can stay alive without food for quite a while - up to perhaps 20-30 days.

However, we will soon die without water - our limit is about 3-4 days. And even after one day without water the effects can be readily felt in our bodies.

In a wilderness survival situation we need to (a) find water, and (b) possibly purify it.

This section of the website will aid you in dealing with these challenges.
