When lost in the desert, your most pressing concern is finding water. Without it, you'll be a human-shaped raisin.
First, look for any signs of water, like a mirage or a guy with a water bottle. If you're lucky, he might offer you a sip or two.
Next, check for any nearby bodies of water. Don't be like me and assume a puddle of oil is just a fancy pond.
Finally, if all else fails, just dig a hole in the ground. It's like a water well, but without the well.
But what if you have no water and no hole? Read on for more advanced survival techniques.
