•Water
Drink
a
small amount of water every hour.
Ø
If you find a dry streambed with just a small area of wet earth, dig
underneath to find water.
ØAlso,
to obtain water, seal a
plastic bag over a green plant. As the plant transpires the water
vapour will
collect inside the bag.
Be
careful, survival experts say that you can only live for three days without
water.
•Desert Shelter
Protect
yourself from the sun during the day, but keep warm
at night.
ØTo
make a shelter, put a parachute or tarp over some posts, or use the
vehicle as your anchor.
Ø
If you can find a cave or take advantage of rocks for shade, part of the
shelter has been built for
you. As always with caves, if they’re good for you
they’re good for other animals too, so check
carefully
for other visitors.
