Actually, my mountain man experience had me using more water in the winter than in the summer. That was real-world kind of stuff. And for over a year.

3 days, maybe you could get by with a gallon a day. It takes that long to dehydrate to death (on average) without any water.

Having lived the real deal, I keep 60 gallons minimum on hand in the house for my first 3 days. I can do it on 5 a day. It sucks. Hard.

Trust me - if you are going through a week without power in Florida or Texas in August, you will need more water - lots more - than a week in New Jersey in November. You would probably sweat three gallons per day in the August scenario.

I'm not saying one gallon is optimal or even bearable. But it is survivable under the conditions currently in the region.
