I don't even think there was water.

I am pretty sure you can subsist just off of water for at least a month just fine

Yeah, dehydration will get you way more quickly than lack of food. If you aren't already in starvation, 4 weeks without food is generally what I've heard as how long you can go.

I've always heard the rule of 3s as a rough guideline: you can go 3 weeks without food, 3 days without water, 3 hours without shelter (in extreme weather), and 3 minutes without air.

Or basically you're fucked if you don't have neither air or water.
