To survive in the desert, a person basically needs water, food, and protection from the heating and evaporation caused by the sun.
Some supplies might include
- Water (a considerable amount for optimal health and cooling)
- Food (to supply energy for travel and thermoregulation)
- Lightweight but protective clothing (to avoid sunburn and hyperthermia)
- Sunblock (to protect exposed skin)
- Sunglasses (to protect eyes from glare)
- Blanket or shelter for cold nights
- Maps or guides to locations in the desert, or to emergency aid
- Effective communication devices where possible
Without water, you will dehydrate very quickly. Many people of the desert community also wear headdresses to cover their faces and skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun, and to help keep them hydrated and cool.
How To Survive A Desert Terrain
You may be stranded in a desert and have no real tools or supplies, so:
1) Look for water. You can't survive long without it.
2) Carry or make a knife for hunting food and cutting shelter materials
3) Wear protective shoes (most deserts are rocky and can injure feet)
4) Beware of venomous snakes
5) Always walk out from the desert, not across it
6) Be sure that someone knows where you are going, or supposed to be going
lots of water and food.
