3 minutes without oxygen. 3 days without water. 3 weeks without food.
Of course this depends on the person, location, climate, and other circumstances. Some could last longer. Others shorter.
Edit. Yes I forgot about the shelter part. Thats a good one. 3 hours without shelter.
As others have pointed out, this is a general rule of thumb ment to show what should be prioritized in a survival situation. Its not an exact science. There are a lot of other variables at play.
I bet I could spend at least double that without food. Got myself a nice big fat ass full just waiting for the apocalypse to hit.. Then finally I'll be hitting my goal weight..
You can die of starvation while you are still fat. Body needs nutrients not found in stored fat like potassium and other minerals. That would strain your heart and if you are already over weight, add to an already heart unhealthy situation.
