...very true. But with the right multivitamins, you can extend this. Early explorers spent months at sea before they hit land. Granted, scurvy was a significant problem. A more concerning and immediate issue is hygiene and waste.
We've acclimated to being so much cleaner we lost our natural immunities to fight off those kinds of bacteria. So don't buy toilet paper when you can buy wipes as they have multi-uses—lots of hydrogen peroxide, bleach, and other cleaners.
Also, if you have kids or the elderly, remember they hold in stress, so upset stomach medication is a must. Lots of it.
