Common sense of first aid in Desert Tourism

Most deserts used to be fertile soil. The animals that can survive there have learned how to adapt to the new environment. Like them, survivors must learn to use any shelter that can protect themselves from the sun, minimize fluid loss and limit daily activities. From the travelers across the desert to learn the experience of survival. In some places, such as the Sahara and Middle East deserts, the deserts of Peru and northern Chile, and the Gobi desert of Mongolia, the temperature difference between day and night is very large. Valuable water can be obtained by condensation of water vapor in the air at night. In South Africa's ramipo desert, sea breeze brings wet fog that provides the moisture necessary for life. However, in areas such as Western Australia, northern Mexico and the mohawu desert in the southwest of the United States, the variation of temperature difference between day and night is relatively small, there is little condensation of water vapor, animals and plants are rare, and survival becomes more difficult. Sometimes, for example, in the kolahavi desert, there are sparse grasses and thorns. Even in the most open environment, some life can still survive. But you have to know how to find them. When the rare rain comes - some areas have no rain all the year round - it may fall in torrents, form flowing floods soon, and be absorbed by the dry surface soon. During this period, there will be a short flowering of some plants, which can be used by fast-growing animals to complete the life cycle cycle, such as the shovel foot support in Arizona.

The desert rainfall and temperature account for 1 / 4 of the area of the southern Arab region. In most of the four seasons, there is no rainfall, but in winter or even in a day, the rainfall will exceed 30mm, which is an extreme situation. In July, the daytime temperature is as high as 48 ℃, and it drops to 15 ℃ at night. In December, the temperature changes from 26 ℃ to minus 6.6 ℃.

In direct sunlight, even without physical activity, people consume three times more water than in shadow. If people reduce water consumption to a minimum, the possibility of survival will increase. Experts have a warning: "don't fight against the desert, but adapt to it." A British pilot, who made a forced landing in the Western Sahara desert, walked 224 kilometers in 11 days and was rescued. The secret is that he "stayed at night". If you walk in the daytime, the water he brings is absolutely not enough. You may be enlightened by the desert experience of American veryl and his wife Rona.

There are six principles to survive in the desert

1. Drink enough water, take enough water and learn to look for water; 2. Stay at night and never move in the hot sun; 3. Inform yourself of your route, the date of departure and arrival before you leave; 4. Leave a mark in the process of going forward so that the rescuers can find it; 5. Learn how to find food; 6. Learn all kinds of ways to send out distress signals. Experts believe that survival in the desert depends on three interdependent factors: ambient temperature, activity and storage of drinking water.

Water experts not only teach people how to save water in the body, but also teach people how to find underground water sources in places where seemingly no water exists. Many people who have survived in the desert find that cactus of all kinds are just natural reservoirs. "After tasting a lot of cactus plants, I found that a bottle shaped cactus is the most abundant in water, and you can drink it just by squeezing it," an American pilot said after getting out of danger There is a kind of cactus in the desert, which is said to squeeze 4 liters of water at a time. Many people just lost their hands in the shadow of cactus and died of thirst. In addition, there are many animal blood, insect juice can be used to quench thirst.

Water is the first need, and finding water is crucial. If there is water, the ration should be limited in time. If you are planning to travel through the desert and you are blocked by a broken down vehicle, you may and should have marked an oasis, a Karez or a water cave where the route is known. Karez can be very deep and require buckets and ropes to carry water. The water holes at the bottom of a dry river bed are often seasonal and usually covered with stone slabs or branches.

When far away from the known water hole, digging down at the lowest point of the outer bay at the turn of a dry stream or the lowest point between sand dunes may find water. Don't work in hot weather, sweating will take away more body fluids, and you can't find water 100%. There must always be a balance between loss of body fluid and possible gain.
