1. Avoid the midday sun: travel only in the evening, at night, or in the early morning.
2. Avoid loose sand and rough terrain: they will increase fatigue.
3. Objects always appear closer than they really are in the desert.
4. In sandstorms, lie on your side with your back to the wind, cover your face and sleep through the storm.
5. Multiply all your distance by three.
