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.

3 seconds in the truest, purest form of extreme weather.

A tornado can put an end to you if your shelter doesn't withstand it.
