Outdoor Tips – Water

You can survive without food for weeks maybe even months. In contrast if you go without water for even a day, your body begins to become dehydrated and you put yourself at an increased risk of getting into some serious trouble.

It’s generally recommended that you drink at least two quarts of clean water per day. In hot or dry environments, two quarts of water is probably not going to be enough to sustain yourself for a long period of time. In fact, in a desert environment you can actually lose up to 2 quarts of water per hour while hiking or exerting yourself.

You must make finding water your number one priority in a survival situation.

In a survival situation food is not your first priority, water is. If water’s not available do not eat, you’ll become dehydrated even quicker because water’s required for digestion.
