It's very possible you could end up in a desert survival situation one day. Several million people live in the American southwest states a specifically California, Arizona, and Nevada. They are surrounded by deserts. Several million more people live in the State of Texas another state with vast stretches of desert. Deserts are famously difficult places to survive in, and even if you’re not lost on your own among the dunes, the climate can be uncomfortable, debilitating and dangerous. 

Make Water Priority

 

If you're going to be anywhere near the desert, water is an absolute priority. Without proper planning, you may never make it out. To find water in the desert, your best sources of fresh water are going to be streams and springs though yes, they are going to be few and far between, perhaps impossible to find in huge stretches of desert. Any available streams may in fact be underground. Lakes, in the desert, may have high salt content, if you detect a salt-water taste, this is water that will need to be distilled first, to remove any salt. Below is a ways of water gathering in the desert.

Desert Water

Water seeks the lowest level available and on the desert these may be underground. If you see hills, head toward them, for the likeliest place to find water is at their base. Perhaps you have come across the thin shallow bed of a stream. Even though it is dry, water may lie beneath the surface. Hunt for a low place in the cut and dig. The same procedure applies in the case of a dry lake bottoms. The presence of any water will soon be indicated by damp sand.

Game trails in desert country usually lead to water. Follow them downhill if the land so slopes that you can do this with certainty. Otherwise scout around till you can, MAKE SURE in which direction the paths have become more frequented and this will be the way to go. If you happen upon a palm, you can depend on water being at hand generally within several feet of the base of the tree. Reed grass is also a sound sign that moisture is near. However in general it is futile to search water near desert plants, for this one has already taken it, so use the plant itself from its roots which you dig, pull and section off. As seen above. As for the cactus you cut off the head. In the Arizona desert there is a cactus in a bottle shape which contains near 7 quarts of water but only in Arizona. But with a good knife it will take you some 40 minutes of hard work to cut the very tough and prickly skin. The water is in the plant not in the soil. The only danger comes from milky sap as seen from cactus in African desert, yet the Barrel cactus is the milky exception.

         Loss of consciousness without a compass can be a deadly mistake, and nature does not forgive the human fails and mistakes. Everything is happening quickly. Nature doesn’t ask it simply kill if you do not respond when challenges come over.  Probably you're willing to wait a whole day, you can find out the east and west in the direction of the setting sun, but without food and water, time is a luxury and you simply cant waste it.

            That is why getting accurate azimuth is critical, and can do so easily with a simple analog clock and horizontal watch. Hold point so that the hour hand turned toward the sun. At the midpoint between the 12 and the hour hand is its north / south line, north back to the sun. Therefore, if the hour hand 4 indicates, for example, 2 to point to the south and 8 indicate north. Just remember, it only works in the northern hemisphere; and in the summer you have to use one instead of 12 to determine the centreline. If you are in the south, east 12 directly in the sun hemisphere and the north-south / line continue to cut directly between the 12 and the hour hand, but in the north will be the closest to the Sun.

 The fire is critical element of success to survive in wild nature. Fire provides heat and allows cooking food, sterilising water, and keeping you a live when temperature goes below zero. Without fire life gets a lot tougher and unpleasant.

   This is why I would like to introduce you with unusual way how to get a fire with mobile device help. Everyone could face with unpredictable situations and be challenged by nature. You might be a person who doesn’t smoke but I believe that almost 99.5% of modern society has a mobile phone. MOBILE PHONE? Yes my friend mobile phone, and there is logical link between mobile device and fire. Some of you have probably tried this or at least seen a YouTube video. It’s quite easy and with some good tinder you can have a fire going in no time. Lets take a closer how its works and what kind a steps and components are necessary for it.

1.You have to get out the battery from your mobile device. There is big advantage of the battery as a waterproof. Even if phone is wet you still would be able to get a fire.

2. Foil one that has a paper lining (type of foil from cigaret pack and some chocolate bars).

3.Cut it in such a way that there is a bit thinер section in the middle.Make it longer and make shore you prepare ends of the foil properly to be able to connect them to +and -

4.Connecting the ends of the wrapper to the +/- ends of the battery will cause the filament. Sounds easy right?
