Survival Dispatch Insider Vol. 3 Issue 7: Desert Survival

People die in the American desert every year, most of them within a few miles of a road. Issue 7 of Volume 3 is 59 pages on staying alive out there until help comes.

Inside: dressing for the desert and why cotton is the wrong answer; signaling and the road to self-rescue; the stages of dehydration and how to slow it; finding water from dew, from plants, and by knowing whether to go up or down; the plants you can use and the one that will kill you (poison hemlock); navigating when flash floods and drifting dunes erase the terrain, by day with the sun and by night with the stars; a flash flood survival account in a slot canyon; resting through the heat and moving at night, and the dangers that come with the dark; and gear reviewed in this issue, including a windproof survival blanket, an emergency shelter tent, a cotton shemagh and two desert navigation books.
