a man in good health can live from 8 to 12 days without water
my grandma was going through things and found this book that my grandpa got when he was in the US Navy for WWII: Survival on Land and Sea. here is the cover, and the section about learning where you are from the stars. such a cool book! it tells you what sort of plants you can eat in the tropics, tells you how you can swim away from a ship that is surrounded by a burning oil slick, how to rig fishing lures, even gives a breakdown of edible arctic plantlife. if i had more patience, i would scan the whole thing.
