As someone who has spent too much of their life being homeless (living in a homeless shelter ATM), shelter comes in many forms, including a sleeping bag or tent.

Without ANY protection from the elements, depending on locale, 3 hours is totally doable or problematic.

I've spent a bit of my life "on the street" as it were. That being said, I've only slept rough for a total of two to three months so far. I hear what you're saying about being totally exposed, especially in harsh weather, but I still think that 3 hours is on the outside of the bell curve.

I guess it's dependant on clothing. 3 hours in the arctic in a hoodie? Dead. 3 hours in the desert naked? Heat stroke maybe, though enough water would keep you going while you turn into a lobster.

Yeah nevernind it's a fucking stupid rule of thumb.

This is the most unnecessary nerd comment I'll ever make on this platform.. but

I believe the bell curve wouldn't represent the expected distribution in this case. I m not entirely sure what would be the correct distribution but I suspect Chi^2 or poisson.

I was under the impression that unnecessary nerd comments were specifically what this site was for. Did I accidentally stumble back to mIRC?

Reading your comment made me really upset man. I don't know who you are or what life has thrown at you and I hope every day you are making it by at the very least.

From one internet stranger to another I am sorry life can be shit man. I hope things look up for you.
