[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7075305, member: 15700"] The one gallon a day comes from FEMA, but they also assume you're using it for hygiene and food prep. The army recommendations are way more than you actually need. There's no way I could drink 5 gallons a day. In fact, that would be harmful. I remember hot 95 degree days in Korea (with high humidity) while in a nomex (does not breath at all) flight suit working on top of a black helicopter all day (that's freaking hot, let me tell you) and the most I ever drank was 2 gallons in a day. I'm not saying you sweat, I'm just saying you literally wring out your clothes when you're done. In general, there is a rule of 3 You can survive 3 seconds without air 3 days without water 3 weeks without food Of course that doesn't mean you'll be in tip top shape the whole time, but that's the general rule. Look at that show Naked and Afraid. They get very little food over 21 days, and some of them lose up to 2 pounds a day. And that's not being that active. [/QUOTE]
