Probably indefinitely, as long as there was food and a source of unfrozen water that can be purified. I've gone camping in temperatures down past -20f for days on end. The cold sucks, but will not kill you as long as you're dressed for it, have a sleep system/shelter to keep you warm, and have enough food to fuel your body. Fuel/fire is downright luxurious in the cold, but not strictly necessary unless you have inadequate insulation from the cold and your body can't keep up with the heat loss.
Same here. I have cold weather sleeping bags and appropriate clothing. I've got light weight cooking gear and water purifiers. I'll be grumpy but otherwise fine.
Until you run out of food and the region has been overhunted/fished/foraged. This is why I need to expand my garden and do more indoor hydroponics. Last year we started growing sprouts and herbs and it was awesome but we've been lazy this year.
Sprouts are an excellent sandwich topping btw, way better than lettuce. We were doing alfalfa and mung beans (lol, mung).
In that situation, calories per person is what will count. Sprouts are nice but aren't going to do the job. Grains, root vegetables, and meats will count.
Yeah as long as we can retain access to food and water we'll survive. But if either of those stop we're going to die and basically can't do anything about it.
Could flee or fight depending on the circumstances.
