It's the classic desert breakdown: you are driving along a deserted highway-thinking it is a shortcut to where you want to go-and your car breaks down. You are literally miles from anywhere with only a half empty bottle of water.
The physical location of where an individual gets thrust into a survival situation will vary greatly, and the direct needs of those individuals will therefore be as varied as the environments that they find themselves in.
Of course there would be no reception. You do not see a car for miles, what are the odds a for profit cell phone company is going to build a tower out here just for you?
The first of these, obtaining food, is one of the easier necessities to fulfill thanks to the bounty of the earth.
One thing you can do is to buy bottled water. If you are in an area of the world where you do not trust the water, do not take a chance
Without a groundwater map, you are afraid that you will not be able to find enough water to get you through this ordeal. Even with a groundwater map, you are not sure you would have the right tools to get you down to the life sustaining substance.
If you find ever yourself in this situation, the first thing to do is not to panic. This situation is clich because people have done it before.
The second on the list of survival requirements, but first on the list of necessity, is for a person in a survival situation to find a source of drinkable water.
From what water you do have, ration it. Drink a small amount every hour. It will not likely be enough to quench your thirst. At least it will be something for your body to use.
therefore, finding water turns to finding clean water, or drinkable water so as to avoid sickness or poisoning. Clean water can be either found or created in several ways.
Boiling water is the best way to get rid of bacteria and parasites that live inside unclean water. If you boil the water thoroughly, then it should be safe to drink.
The sun is your greatest enemy in the desert. It has the power to drain you of all energy. Once you find a place to hide for the day, try to get some rest while you wait for dusk. You will need your energy for the night ahead.
Keep clothes on. Despite the heat, clothing will help cool your body better than exposing your skin to the elements will. Use the shade of dusk to move. Dusk, night and twilight will be your best time to get any traveling done. Find the shortest route back to normal civilization-without exception, stick to the roads on your way-and take it at a natural pace.
Shelter is the last important necessity to survival. As a part of shelter, the ability to start and feed a fire may be critical to survival for those in colder climates especially.
If all goes well, you will find another car to help you out on the way back. If it doesn't, then you will at least make it back to a place where you can find help in a little more time.
