You can only live 2-3 months without vitamin C. Native Americans helped settlers recover from scurvy (caused by severe lack of vitamin C) with pine needle tea. You have to be careful because some pines and junipers are poisonous. Become familiar with the pine trees in your area, and learn which ones would be beneficial for your health. Here is a great resource from the Utah State University Cooperative Extension that can help you identify and learn many of the nutritious and medicinal uses of various pine trees native to Utah. https://extension.usu.edu/files/publications/publication/NR_FF_018pr.pdf
