Well yeah, 10 minutes without water can definitely be lethal under the right circumstances too if you are already only 10 minutes away from dying from dehydration. I’m just saying that lying mostly still in a sunless ravine in autumn in France for 72 hours, while it’s raining, is not peak conditions for quick death from dehydration. And in any case, all I’m really saying is that claiming the guy survived by drinking the wine, meaning he would have otherwise died from dehydration, is not a supoortable conclusion and is just there to make the headline more fun.
He wasn’t in the Rockies. It was France in October. The issue would have been to stay warm so I don’t imagine dehydration was seriously an issue obviously it would have become eventually but not after 3 days.
Rule of 3s. 3 minutes without air, 3 hours without shelter in inclement weather, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food. So it definitely is a concern.
??? 3 days without water can definitely be lethal
