If I've learned anything from Survivorman it's that you figure out how to get clean water first and the rest is a nice-to-have.

- brink 5y agoI keep a couple of Sawyer water filters on hand as a "just in case" because losing access to drinkable water is something I don't ever want to experience if I can help it.
- foxhop 5y agoIt's not nessasarily painful but it will kill you in 2-5 days.
- stavros 5y agoAre you saying humans can't survive without water for 2 days? That seems quite short.
- e40 5y ago3 days is the rule I've heard.
- Jtsummers 5y agoGP listed a range. 2 days probably won't kill most people if they're starting at a healthy point and aren't too active or in an arid environment, but it will probably kill a lot of people if they start off somewhat dehydrated or are too active (by necessity or stupidity) during that period. The usual number tossed out is 3 days, but it's not like people will magically all drop dead after 72 hours from their last drop of water. It's an average or expected value.
- rolobio 5y agoYes that's about right. It depends on where you are. On a very hot day in a desert you can die in less than a day. I can't find any exact numbers for this though.
