Everyday something happens in our life. We wake up, brush teeth, wash ourselves, comb hair, go to school, to an office by path or bus and e.tc but we don`t even have a clue that these simple things might turn into a huge threat.

Everyday there is a 0.1% chance of becoming a part of any types of deadly accidents. This 0.1% also includes a possibility of being kidnapped and sent to a desert.

If i had been privileged to take a part in such a situation, the first thing i would have done is to keeping myself cool. Panic is one of the most dangerous parts of any survival situation, so if you're able to calmly assess your predicament and work out your next steps, you'll be able to head off a wild rush to get out of wherever you are (and possibly into a much worse situation).

When i calmed myself down, then i would try to get under cover. Finding shade or constructing a shade shelter is one of the first priorities for desert survival, as keeping out of the direct sun and not exerting yourself in the heat of the day will help to conserve water.

When my shelter has had built, i would have founded some water sources, make up a bandana(so that my mouth would be always shut and i wouldn`t loose a moisture out of it, preventing myself from dehydration)

These are my tips and methods of surviving in a wild desert.

     Перевод: Каждый день в нашей жизни что-то случается. Мы просыпаемся, чистим зубы, моемся, расчёсываем волосы, ходим в школу или на работу, на автобусе либо же пешком, но мы даже и не подозреваем о том, что эти простые вещи могут оказаться огромной угрозой для нашей жизни.

  Каждый день в нашей жизни имеет место быть 0,1% шанса стать частью несчастного случая. Этот 0.1% включает в себя и возможность быть похищенным и выброшенным в пустыне.

 Если бы мне "посчастливилось" стать участником такого случая, то первая вещь которую я бы сразу попытался осуществить - это расслабиться, сделать несколько глубоких вдохов и выдохов. Паника - это самое ужасное, что может случиться в такой ситуации, поэтому, если вы в состоянии оценить своё неудачное положение и начать работать над своим планом то это уже огромный шаг к победе.  После того, как я расслабился, я бы попытался скрыться из виду, начав либо искать уютный тенёчек, либо же самому сконструировать убежище с защитой от солнца. По-скольку наша важная постоянная цель в пустыне - защитить себя от солнца и сберечь воду.

 После того, как моё убежище построено, я бы нашёл несколько водных источников, а потом сделал бы бандану(чтобы рот открывался меньше и я смог сберечь как можно больше влаги, дабы не подвергнуться обезвоживанию).

Это мои советы и методы по выживанию в дикой пустыне.
