With the development of tourism, tourists have spread all over the world. When everyone traveled all over the mountains, rivers and seas, many people began to turn their attention to the mysterious desert. The scenery of the desert is very beautiful, but risk and beauty coexist. Today, we will talk about what to pay attention to when going to the desert, and what are the must-haves and must not be forgotten.
Prepare a pair of suitable shoes. The biggest threat to shoes in desert hiking mainly comes from the erosion of glue by high temperature on the surface and the infiltration of fine sand to the upper. So you need a pair of high-top waterproof hiking shoes with no mesh on the upper surface.
Pay attention to sun protection. Desert areas have long sunshine hours and strong ultraviolet rays. Protective items such as sunscreen, sun hat and sunglasses should be prepared before departure.
Heatstroke prevention. In desert areas, high temperature exposure is inevitable, and tourists are prone to heat stroke symptoms. Therefore, tourists should ensure adequate sleep before departure to avoid physical exhaustion when playing. It is necessary to bring heatstroke prevention and cooling medicines for emergency use. When preparing clothing for desert travel, you should try to use cotton, linen, and silk fabrics, and wear less chemical fiber clothing to prevent a lot of sweating and not be able to dissipate heat in time. The most important thing is to drink water frequently and avoid binge drinking.
When traveling in the desert, if there is a precursor to a sandstorm, you need to return in time. Don't move on at this time, it's very dangerous to move on, don't lose your life just to watch the sandstorm.
When traveling in the desert, it is also necessary to pay attention not to walk alone, which can easily lead to disorientation. It is best to follow the team, which is very important.
The desert landscape is unique, but also full of dangers. The desert is not a beach, and it is not recommended to walk blindly without a purpose. There are no iconic buildings in the desert, each dune looks the same, the direction is difficult to distinguish, and it is easy to get lost. Once lost, it is not impossible to endanger life. If you are unfortunately lost in the desert, try the following methods.
Getting lost in the desert, the most important thing is your state of mind. Because getting lost in a place like the desert can easily blow people's self-confidence and think of some bad things. What we have to do is to calm ourselves down first and be in a rational state in order to better solve the problems in front of us. If your mobile phone still has a little signal, you can try to call for help constantly.
If you find that you can't get out of the predicament when you are walking in the desert, you can use the sand mountain as a reference and walk according to the windward side of the sand mountain, which can save a lot of physical strength. But the premise of walking on the windward side of the sand is that you can figure out where you are. If you are lost in the desert, it is better to stay where you are, keep your energy and wait for rescuers, rather than aimlessly looking for a way out. If you move all the time, it is very detrimental to the search and rescue work of the rescuers, and the chances of survival will be much smaller.
