What do you need to bring to travel in the desert?

List of things to take when traveling in the desert:

1. Water is an eternal theme in desert exploration

The importance of water in the desert is well known, so you must remember to bring enough fresh water before entering the desert. In the desert, a large amount of water in the human body will evaporate, and electrolytes such as sodium salt in the body will also be lost. If you drink a lot of fresh water all the time without supplementing salt, it is easy to cause water poisoning.

Tips: Before entering the desert, buy some pickled mustard tuber and eat it when replenishing water, which can replenish the lost salt.

2. Compass and outdoor professional GPS

It is very difficult to explore and cross the desert in a long distance only by relying on maps and eyes. The existence of outdoor professional GPS and compass can ensure the smooth exploration and crossing of the desert.

3. Rescue tools

Necessary for vehicles in the desert, including: towing rope, U-buckle, tire inflator, winch, tire barometer (necessary for every vehicle), deflation tool, shovel (round-headed, necessary tool for getting stuck in a car), tire repair tool, sand prevention board, tweeter whistle and rescue tool knife (recommended Swiss rescue combination tool with window breaker)

4. Personal Dress

The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is large. During the day, ultraviolet rays are very strong, and the sun will burn the skin. At night, the temperature is low and the wind is strong. Therefore, you should prepare more clothes and articles for sun protection and wind protection, such as sunscreen oil, sun hat, sunglasses, sun scarf, long-sleeved shirt, middle or high-top shoes, leg covers, jacket or thin fleece.

5. Food

In the desert, food is very perishable. In order to ensure the smooth end of desert travel or exploration, it is suggested to take vacuum-packed cooked meat as the main food, and at the same time, chocolate and functional drinks can be taken in moderation to supplement physical strength.

6. Medical first aid kit

includes: carsickness drugs, antiallergic drugs, antiviral drugs, digestive system drugs, respiratory system drugs, sedative and hypnotic drugs, antibiotics, trauma drugs, antipyretic and analgesic drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-mosquito bites and so on. They are an important guarantee for us to continue our exploration in a good mood.

7. Outdoor camping equipment: tent, sleeping bag, damp-proof mat

tent:? In the choice of tents, the most important thing is that the waterproof index is good, followed by the windproof performance. Pay attention to the weight problem.

sleeping bag:? Generally, you should choose a sleeping bag that is suitable for about MINUS 5 degrees, because the standard sleeping bag has a long shelf life, even in summer, the temperature at the top of the mountain will be very low at night. ?

moisture-proof pad:? Like sleeping bags, the choice of moisture-proof cushions is diversified, and the prices vary greatly, such as automatic inflation, manual inflation and non-slip.

8. Vehicles should be equipped with auxiliary fuel tanks or spare oil drums.

The desert is sparsely populated and the road conditions are poor. Once there is a shortage of oil, it will delay the travel plan and affect the exploration mood. What's more, being trapped for a long time will endanger your life.

9. The vehicle must be equipped with a platform

Every vehicle must be equipped with a platform, and it is best to bring a spare platform or a hand platform for emergency use. Remember to bring spare batteries for mobile phones, cameras, wireless communication equipment, mobile power supply, car inverters, etc.

1. Four-wheel drive

Two-wheel drive vehicles can't move in the desert, and only vehicles with more than four-wheel drive can walk on the ground in the desert. Therefore, the most basic requirement of desert exploration for vehicles is four-wheel drive. Of course, if the vehicle is a small four-wheel drive off-road RV, it will be more perfect.

because the small four-wheel drive off-road touring car not only has super off-road performance, but also has super high mobility and flexibility, and it can also provide a five-star home anytime and anywhere.
