How long can a human go without water?
Remember the rule of 3s for survival:
3 minutes without air 3 hours without shelter 3 days without water 3 weeks without food3 seconds without cat
3 hours without shelter?
I'll accept the others but that one's just cobblers.
No. If you leave your house for 3 hours, you die!
Assumes you've got poor clothing in danger Weather/Climate
Weather extremes. Blizzards, deserts, hurricanes, life rafts... If you're stranded on a cool summer afternoon, obviously you can be outside for more than 3 hours, but without shade you might get a sunburn.
It's meant as a survivalist priority list. Build a shelter, find water, make fire if you can. Food can wait until tomorrow or the next day.
I've been outside for far longer than three hours without dying.
That one is about extremes.
If you are in sub zero Celsius temps without proper clothing three hours is plenty to kill you especially if there is windchill in play.
On the other extreme three hours in full sun with a heat index above 40 can cause heat stroke or dehydrate you enough to be deadly as well.
You're the only one
I've seen that before and the 3 hours without shelter always cracks me up. Someone really needs to come up with a suitable replacement for the 3 hours part.

It is a good death.
