1. The biggest killers in the desert are heatstroke and dehydration, so it’s best to stay put and find a shady place to wait for rescue, but sometimes the rescue team won’t come. There are two large rivers in the Utah desert, the Colorado River and the Green River, and finding one of them is the key to getting out of the desert. Find a canyon or dry riverbed and follow them, and you should be able to find a river.
2. Plants need water, so signs of vegetation will suggest the location of water sources
3. Shade can be found at the bottom of the canyon, and there may also be water in it, flowing into the streams of those larger rivers
4. When you have to jump from a height of a few meters, there is a trick to keep your feet together, knees slightly bent, roll when you land, and spread the force of the impact to your legs and then your back.
5. When it is extremely hot, the head and brain should be kept cool the most. You can make a round neck white undershirt into a headscarf, just cut a knife along the suture on one side, tear it open, spread it out, and then put the It is wrapped around the head, rolled up on the side of the head, and pulled tight, then wrapped around the face, and finally tucked into its own knot, and if it is really hot and dehydrated, it can be Urine on it, absorbs heat through evaporation of water
6. The key to rock climbing is to always keep at least three points in contact with the surface of the rock wall, using as much power as possible with your legs rather than your arms.
7. A very good way to find water in a canyon is to look for overgrown land and water-thirsty plants, such as tamarisk, indicating that there must be a source of water somewhere nearby.
8. If you see rotting animals in the water, it means that the water is a stagnant pool and has been polluted, and the water is absolutely not drinkable.
9. If the water pool in the canyon is blocked by some wooden branches, and there is no way to climb over it, if it is trapped when the water temperature is too low, symptoms of hypothermia will soon appear. Swim under the branches. The trick is to take deep, slow breaths for a while ahead of time, which has the benefit of removing carbon dioxide from your body and lowering your heart rate, and then dig in and stay calm. (A heart rate that is too fast will consume oxygen too quickly)
10. The maximum time anyone can hold their breath is four minutes, but even 30 seconds in very cold water is difficult.
11. The rock walls on both sides are very steep. If the distance between the two sides is narrow enough, you can climb up by a method called chimney climbing. The original purpose is to let people climb out of the well and put their backs on the rocks on one side. , with one foot in the back and one in the front (one foot on the rock on the side of the back and the other on the rock on the other side), always maintaining forward pressure And backward pressure, all the way up.
12. When you are about to climb to the top, as long as you can reach the end of the rock, you can squeeze your hand into a fist and use the fist as a fulcrum to borrow force.
13. Be careful when you find a shady canyon in the desert, because maybe other desert animals will also want to enjoy the shade here, especially snakes. If the snakes in the desert come out at the hottest time of the day, they will definitely die, so it must be Hide in the shade. A good way to find out is to throw a few rocks in and take a closer look at the surroundings.
14. In the desert, shake off any clothes or shoes you don't have on, because scorpions prefer to crawl into cool, shaded places.
15. A little trick to finding water in the desert is to listen to the sounds of insects. Bees and mosquitoes have always liked to live near water. Insect spots are a good sign that you are close to a water source.
16. Finding the deposit line means there is a leak somewhere nearby and water is dripping from the aquifer. The water accumulated here can be drunk directly, and the water quality is safe, although it looks dirty.
17. There is a plant called morning glory. Native Americans use it as a pipe, because its stem is hollow, and its stem can be used as a straw to drink water, but if you break it directly, it will crack, so use it. The knife cuts it circularly around its stem, and then the top is also circularly cut, and then it will be broken neatly and neatly if it is broken again.
18. The best way to find a road is to observe this area from a high place. In the desert, what to look for is signs of vegetation, such as trees feeding the stomach. If there is a vegetation line nearby, it means that there is a river. Places are almost always inhabited.
19. Find small ravines. There are often birds, crows, etc. that build their nests here. It is almost impossible to catch birds with bare hands without tools, but you can find eggs. Bird droppings or feathers can reveal where the bird is, and broken eggshells on the ground indicate a nest somewhere on top of it. All bird eggs are edible, and even the shells are a good source of calcium, but raw bird eggs carry the risk of Salmonella infection, so they are best cooked. In the high temperature of more than 40 degrees in the desert, eggs can be cooked directly on the ground.
20. If several small compass cacti grow in the same direction, that direction is basically the south.
21. Be careful when picking up firewood, because some snakes will disguise themselves as branches and stay in the bushes.
22. In the desert, snakes are also nocturnal, and at dusk, they will go out to find food.
23. To catch a snake, you have to stun it with a stone, then use a stick to put its head on the ground and smash its skull.
24. The light-colored pygmy rattlesnake is called the light-colored pygmy because its pattern is difficult to identify and the color is very light, so that it can be cleverly hidden between sand and rocks. It is highly poisonous. If it is bitten by it and not treated in time, it is very dangerous. Possibly fatal. (This is to protect animals and cannot be killed)
25. Mountain lions in the desert also like to be nocturnal, and bonfires can scare away some predators.
26. Snakes don't like shocks, and if they encounter shocks, they will choose to leave. So can knock something.
27. Tamarix and willow are both water-loving plants, meaning there is a river nearby.
28. If you get stuck in quicksand, you must not struggle, it will get deeper and deeper. You should try to tilt your body sideways, lift it up and twist it to the surface of the quicksand, pull out one arm first and then the other, let one leg come out first, lie on the surface of the quicksand, and then pull out the other. Try to increase the contact area with the quicksand, and then crawl forward on the surface of the quicksand.
