In the vast desert, there are not only mysterious histories, but also natural landscapes that cannot be seen in daily life. However, the beauty of the desert contains ubiquitous threats,so we need to know some ways to protect ourselves in the desert.

The first is that tent selection requires some skill. Comfort is the number one consideration when shopping for a tent. In terms of size selection, the larger the tent, the more comfortable it is. The second is the number and size of the foyer. A single-door tunnel tent at the front is not as convenient as a two-door dome tent.

The advantage of having a large foyer is that you can cook in the foyer in case of rainy weather. And the tent should also pay attention to waterproof and breathable. The inner tent should be highly breathable and the outer tent should be completely waterproof plastic sheeting.

Secondly, remember to rent a satellite phone when crossing desert uninhabited areas or areas where mobile phone signals cannot cover, so that you can contact the outside world in time in the event of an accident. Remember the callsign for the rescue team and look for a vantage point with cell phone coverage. For plane communication, reflected signals can be sent through reflectors, or SOS signs can be made on the ground.

In desert camping traverses, it is important to choose a route with or without water. When crossing unconventional routes in uninhabited areas or areas without water, be sure to bring enough water for the actual crossing days.

In addition, remember to bring your own medicine, mainly sunstroke prevention medicine. You can bring some glucose or normal saline, and friends can drink it when they are dehydrated or have heatstroke, which can relieve the condition as soon as possible.

Desert camping should also pay attention to sun protection. Ultraviolet rays can damage human skin, so no matter how hot it is in the desert, be sure to wear long-sleeved clothing to minimize exposure to your skin. Remember to wear polarized glasses to prevent eye injury.

Dust storms can also affect electronic equipment and people's respiratory tracts. Therefore, when going to the desert, electronic equipment must be prepared for sand prevention. Cover your phone and camera with a waterproof bag and cover your face with a square towel.
