Hello @galenpk happy start of the weekend. Every week something interesting to answer.
If the only place I have to go is the desert, I would take a lot of water, I might run out of food but if I take water I know I can survive a little longer by staying hydrated.
I would carry a first aid kit, from medicines to small knives and ropes, we don't know when they will come in handy.
And lastly, I would take a pencil and a notebook to keep track of each day as it goes by, so I would occupy my mind and have a record of what I have experienced to tell my grandchildren 🤭.
Plastic container, wrap a plastic bag over it. Put your metal keys onto the bag so it dips into the plastic container.
The humidity from the desert will be drawn to the keys capturing moisture. The plastic container would collect fresh water pretty good.
Thank you for sharing.I would prepare for me too.
I'm not sure who galenpk is although I'll answer on his behalf, you know...Me, @galenkp. Anyway, water, first aid kit and a notebook seems reasonable. I mean, three days without water and a human perishes so...Good plan! I'll tell galenpk you say hi.

Hell, I've reversed the lyrics. But it's good that you answered because the message was for you.
And yes, with water it could survive a few days, it would be one of the most important items to carry
ENGAGEtokens.A first aid kit is a good choice. 😀
Of course we will not know when it is necessary. As my mother says, forewarned woman is worth two haha.
These are good and reasonable options, however how much water will you be able to carry and the effort will last for how many days? 5 liters would last about 3-4 days considering that we adapt to drinking little water, but it would also be an extra weight that would rob us of needed energy.
Good point, but taking into account that the rest of what I carry would not weigh so much and could carry in a backpack, and with my arms I could carry about 18 liters of water. With pride I can say that I have loaded them, when I have been at home without drinking water I have had to walk with that amount of water for a considerable distance.
AAhh sure, a strong woman! I might be able to comfortably with just 10 liters hehe.
That looks like a good deal to me. If I have to go more than a few days I'm leaving the desert behind for sure.
I have a really modest first aid kit in my fly bag and a better one in the car, but that's a pretty darn good idea.
The first aid kit never hurts, it is not known when we need it.
Some good ideas for things to bring! Water is crucial indeed but so isn’t keeping your mind occupied. That gets forgotten by people sometimes! The first aid kit is certainly something to make sure is readily available. Good choices!
I like to write love and heartbreak poems, but in those circumstances I would only write as I am surviving.
It would be something like this:Day 1 i'm still alive Day 2 I'm still alive and I only take sips of water. And so day by day, trying to keep my mind from thinking unpleasant things.
Even counting the days is a way to keep your mind sane! We rely on calendar stuff nowadays so going to survival mode without any notion of what day it is would be tough. Noting things down like that would be good!
Thus, we do not despair. And we stay updated del día.
We should have thought about music. Maybe music would help us to cope better. We could write, I'm alive and dancing"
You have had a very good idea, the truth is I did not think about music, I adore music, it helps me relax, dancing I could forget how overwhelmed the situation is.
But at the moment wearing things that would keep me alive until everything will pass I did not think of music. But if we can pack our bags again, let's not forget the music. So that we dance, dance, sing and make the wait more bearable.
Yes, I guess that’s for when we have more than 1 hour for packing... next time. We’ll just have to make music with what we have. Could make a string - instrument. 😃
That's a great list of necessary items to get ready for the adventure in the desert !!
Yes, it seems so. We can team up for the desert adventure
😂😂😂
You made me laugh when you said you would take along knives and ropes. Lol
It's a good plan as you get yourself prepared for the worse moment if there would ever be one. 😅
I think you have gotten good plans of all you will take along especially writing down everything you experience and encounter to tell your grandchildren.
Well the strings I don't know why I included them, hahaha. I do not know who I have to hold with the ropes.
I have a strong feeling that you'll find good use for those strings.
haha. Let's hope so. Because I still don't know what to do with them. I don't know who I'm going to hang up on 🤭
Lol! I think we could use it to create some zipline adventures.
Rope is actually a brilliant idea! With a good large knife and some rope you could easily build a shelter to help keep you away from the weather. Although, in the desert....
You have given me an idea, because the strings are packed by one just in case.
Building a shelter is good, although in the desert it is not very bright 🤭
Hahhaa no you're right; the desert you'd have trouble finding materials. But if you could; desert is also probably one of the places you'd need it most! I'm sure you'd save a tremendous amount of water just by having some shade from the sun
Yes, I will definitely need the shade, so I don't waste so much water, and I don't get dehydrated.
