Sitting in a comfortable city apartment and “walking” on the Internet, it is difficult to imagine that you will find yourself in the desert without help and livelihood. However, nothing can be ruled out, so it is better to be prepared for any situation.
Necessary
- - water;
- - warm clothes;
- - sunglasses or eye patch.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose the right travel clothing. You need to be as much as possible protected from sunlight. Sunglasses or an eye patch can help with this. You don't have to think that the desert is warm around the clock - it can get pretty cold at night. Therefore, choose clothes that will keep you warm for a long time. For footwear, boots are best. They must be made from natural materials and are as comfortable as possible. You can walk barefoot in the desert only at night, and when the sun is in the sky, the sand can easily burn your feet.
Step 2
Conserve water. If you need to overcome any distance, prepare in advance - take as much water as possible. Try to sweat less because the body also loses water. This can be done by moving around only in the evening or at night. Wet clothing can also help reduce sweating. You will have to spend a certain amount of water on this, but believe me, you will save more.
Step 3
Drink dew drops in the morning to increase your water intake. And during the day, keep small pebbles in your mouth or chew grass - this way you will feel less heat.
Step 4
Choose hard sand, trying to bypass loose sand, which will take a lot of energy. Avoid difficult places where possible.
Step 5
Take care of a hideout that comes in handy during sandstorms. This significantly reduces visibility, and it is better to wait until the storm has calmed down, otherwise you can go astray. Mark the direction by placing an arrow made of rocks or branches in the sand. Anything will do as well. This is necessary so that after the end of the storm it is easy to understand in which direction to continue the journey. Lie on your side with your back to the wind, place a handkerchief over your face and lie there until the storm is over.
Step 6
Do not be fooled by mirages, try to look at things soberly. The main thing is to stay calm. Excessive anxiety will also increase sweating.
