The difficulties mostly in the desert is focused on high temperature and water shortage. The temperature could be extremely high during day times while could be very cold during nightfall. Desiccation is the main health hazard you’ll face in the desert. To prevent these complex situations, one can consider few guidelines for survival. At 38 degrees of temperature, I recommend to consume at least half liter of water. While on temperature above 38 degree Celsius, I recommend just about one liter per hour as lowest possible to drink. Drink on a common time period since it decreases perspiration and maintains the regular body temperature.
Cover as much as possible to prevent the skin from being exposed to sunlight especially the head, neck and arms and try to pull up the sleeves. This keeps the perspiration. Indeed, the clothes absorb the sweat, keeping it against the skin, which gives a cool effect in the slightest breeze.
Avoid talking, keep your mouth closed and breathe through your nose, it can significantly reduce your water needs. Avoid direct contact with the hot sand: sitting on yor backpack as an example. If the water is hard to find, you should avoid eating because digestion consumes water.
The method of water recovery
To locate water in certain areas, there are guidelines you may use learned from the research of insects. You may excavate a narrow round burrow on the land and put a container perhaps a glass pan. On the top of the container, place a small plastic formed into a round or square, must be wider than the hole dug. Situate the plastic loosen a little bit. To create a cone shape facing down, the tip must be situated on top of the container.
Make a hole in the tip of the cone to allow water to condense in the night on the plastic to flow into the container. To retain the edges of the plastic around the hole, you can simply cover them with sand or stone ballast. Place a stone at the hole to tighten the cone down.
It is also possible to get potable water from urine, if there are two empty bottles and duct tape: Half fill a bottle of urine. Do not over fill it so that urine does not get out of the bottle if it is placed horizontally on the open ground.
Put some duct tape on the neck of the empty container and the container that contains urine. Place the two containers horizontally on the land while placing the bottle that has urine totally visibly wide-open towards the sun and cover with sand the empty bottle. The sun will evaporate some water from the urine. The empty container is shielded from the sun, since the bottle is covered with sand; its temperature is inferior to the other. The evaporated water from the first container will be transferred and stored into the second container.
