RE: Knowledge decreases weight
It all depends Midnitemo.
Last night I had 19 degrees F. Night before was 8 degrees F. Tonight we have 4 more inches of snow predicted and no temps above freezing in the near future.
A nice snug shelter rather than a tarp sounds real good.
On top of that we have half foot of snow on the ground and nothing is moving in these temps. Wild foods are covered with snow or frozen underground. Foraging is the big waste of time in my area.
I can make it a month without food, but I will die the first night without adequate shelter.
Way too many people go nuts over finding food immediately, at the expense of adequate shelter.
In turn, all this snow makes finding water a nonissue. Melt snow over the fire and you have all the pure water you want.
Three hours without shelter
Three days without water
Three weeks without food
The rule of threes will lighten your load a bit.
