Same thoughts on shelter vs water. But maybe there’s an assumption that there’s a barrage of elements or the environment.
Try walking with shirt and jeans in windy rain. After a hour or so, it will feel like torture. I can see why they put shelter over water.
Makes sense. The fact that it’s not immediately clear to me, makes me believe I’ve had a sheltered life (pun intended).
I should go out more often aside from usual city running or going to the beach.
The list is mostly for orienting around priorities. In a survival situation, what is truly most important to do next? Is it worth looking for water when you don’t have a shelter yet?
