It is not known what can come in handy and help in life. The knowledge of how you can survive in the desert, tundra or taiga should be deposited in your head so that you remember them in moments of danger. A variety of unpleasant surprises and whims of nature await you in the desert.
Necessary
- - water;
- - Casual clothes.
Instructions
Step 1
Focus on caravan trails in the desert - they are all tied to water sources, and this is the most important factor for survival. Sandstorms pose a great danger, they must be waited out by choosing a shelter in advance. If the sound and wind suddenly disappeared, and the desert froze, this indicates the approach of a storm. Soon, a huge black-and-purple cloud will cover the entire sky and bring a terrible hurricane of sand
Step 2
Find any natural shelter - tree, debris, large rock. Wrap your head up in a raincoat to keep the sand out of your eyes and ears. Breathe through a piece of cloth - a handkerchief or bandage folded in several layers. Do not keep moving, you will waste your strength and worsen your situation. Wait out the sandstorm in a shelter, it will not last more than 2-3 days.
Step 3
It is better to continue driving in the desert at night, late in the evening or early in the morning - the sun will not be as merciless as during the day. Walk evenly, at one pace convenient for you and do not make unnecessary movements. Don't try to walk until you fall. It is better to rest more often and take breaks. Tune in to the fact that the distances are actually more than they seem. This is due to the lack of landmarks and the monotony of the area
Step 4
For relaxation, scoop up the sand to cooler layers and pull up an awning. Do not take off your clothes to exclude contact with poisonous insects and sand. A canopy can be a parachute, a blanket or a cover from a car. Caves can be found along the bed of a dry river, ravine, or ravine.
Step 5
Choose clothing that protects you from the sun and reduces sweating. Glasses or at least a blindfold are required. Both pants and shirt should be long-sleeved to avoid burns. It is better if they are free, not adjacent to the body
Step 6
Shake the sand out of your shoes, otherwise you will rub your feet until they bleed. Make tight wraps from strips of fabric 10 cm wide and 100-120 cm long, wrap them around your legs. If your shoes become unusable, do not go barefoot, make soles from tree bark or tires and tie them with strips of fabric to your feet.
Step 7
Be sure to cover your head and neck from the sun with large pieces of cloth similar to the burnus of Arab nomads. Try to reduce sweating by all means - do not rush, walk in clothes at night. Drink in small portions by gargling your throat and mouth. Breathe only through your nose and do not speak - this will reduce fluid loss
Step 8
If possible, drink camel and buffalo milk. It will serve you as food and drink - it contains many nutrients that will help you survive in the desert. Wells can only be found by moving along the paths of the locals
Step 9
Dig holes for water in dry riverbeds, sandbanks, or salt lake shores. Watch out for the birds - they circle around the bodies of water. Food in the desert is not as important as water, it is better not to eat too much so as not to get thirsty. In plants, use the soft part for food - it collects water.
Step 10
Make a fire at night to keep warm. Use dry vegetation or camel droppings.
