I start to get weak and fussy if it's 12:30 pm and I haven't had lunch. Assuming I get lost in the woods after breakfast that means I have a good 3-4 hours to find a settlement before I drop dead of being a little bitch.

Yup, same here. Exactly why I doubted one could walk for a whole week with no food

There's probably some survival mode that kicks in. But you're not going to be Rambo in the woods for three weeks, that's for sure. Three weeks a very long time to be in the wild with nothing but any water you might find.

Does anyone remember that guy that was pinned between a rock in Arizona (I think)? I think he lasted 72 hours or something. Far cry from three weeks.

Without water, humans last only 3 days maximum. If you can drink any water (rain, river, lake, etc), then you can last 3 weeks without food.

Last, or walk out, is the question.
