Desert Survival Knowledge
Desert water: water is too important for human life, that lost life is probably because of this reason. In fact, it is not very difficult to get water in the desert. Remember when you go to the desert again, please bring the following items (a roll of bright plastic wrap, a cup) so that you can get water? The answer is yes. Desert temperature is very high, so hot weather, even if you can put out the strength to dig down with a shovel, probably not find water before already physically exhausted, that is not feasible, because I do not know when you can meet the rescue people to find you, so we must try to save energy. At least when you see the helicopter you will have the strength to wave your brightly colored clothes in your hand.
So what should you do? It's actually quite simple. In the original place where you stay solar sunlight to dig a small pit do not have to be too deep, about 20-30 centimeters will be able to. Put the cup on the bottom of the pit and then the insurance film over the pit, surrounded by sand pressure, do not breathe. Place a small stone on top of the plastic wrap right above the cup, but if you can't find a stone, just put a rub of sand on it. Let the center part of the cling wrap hang low over the cup. Then you can rest under your tent or clothes, it's also important to keep your skin out of direct sunlight to minimize moisture loss. Take the wrap off in about 20 minutes or so and you'll see water appearing in the cup, it's distilled (condensed from water vapor) water that's cleaner than you'll find anywhere in the desert. Since you can only take the water during the day, if you feel like spending the night, then you should repeat the operation several times to get enough water to save for later.
Sleeping overnight in the desert: Remember not to sleep in a low-lying area, but on the top of a sand dune. Because the desert is often windy, if you sleep in a low-lying place, it is likely that you will never wake up again. (Sand moves with the wind, and when you go to a low-lying place the wind speed decreases the sand will fall, you understand, right?) And don't camp where there are bushes, there could be rats and rattlesnakes, also deadly.
How to get a fire in the desert: the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is very big, if you are a hiker, please pull your tent tightly at night and put all the clothes you can wear; if you are driving to the car it is simple, before you leave, please bring two wires with small clips and first aid kit. When you need to get a fire (you don't have a lighter, matches, or cigarette lighter), please take the wires out, put the end with the clip on the car's battery, and the other end on the butt to start the fire, take the first aid kit out before starting the fire, take out the medicinal cotton in it, find some bushes and weeds to use as a fire starter, pour alcohol on it, and then start a fire with the battery lead to light up the alcohol, medicinal cotton, and weeds. This night in the desert even if the cold is not afraid of, of course, to prepare enough firewood, but also can defend the wildlife (reptiles, insects) on your attack.
