I like the second to last paragraph:

The Rule of Three is not set in stone. There may be situations where finding water is more important than building a shelter. Every survival situation is different and you must use the most important tool you have with you at all times – your brain.
It seems that in all those rules of prepping sometimes the most important one has been thrown out of the window at the very beginning - i.e. people expend a lot of resources to prepare for stuff that is unlikely and should be low priority while completely ignoring to prepare for less sexy, but far more likely scenarios. This is the inconsistency that started this thread.

So, again rule number one - use your brain.
