Great example! I just saw an episode of I Shouldn’t Be Alive about a man and his daughter who almost died in the Australian Outback desert. And he had a 4-wheel drive, carried 3 spare tires, and was experienced. He got lost trying to find a fishing hole with his daughter and even with the 3 spares ended up with so many flats he had to drive with just the two fronts. His jeep caught on fire and everything burned except their tent and a couple liters of water. No phone signal and no sat phone. A local found them on the side of the road and rescued them. Your article is a great way to make a point with an interesting story! Thank you.
Hi Donna,
Wow, that sounds scary. It can happen so easily, almost without you realising how much trouble you’re in. The desert is so unforgiving. If you don’t have enough water, you’ll definitely die. The heat is relentless.
