No Food & Primitive Shelter in the Desert

This is Day 1 of a three day survival adventure. I begin with no food and only carry with me some basic provisions including pants, poncho, sandals, bowie knife, calabash bottle gourd for water and a ferro rod to start fires. I start in the flat desert and then wander into the mountains in search of water and a suitable location to build a primitive camp consisting of a simple shelter and fire for warmth.

The night sky is so beautiful. Laying back and stair into the heavens.

This man is such an inspiration. I have nothing but respect for you my friend, returning and refining primal concepts that many of us have abandoned but which are essential to properly understanding our purpose and place in this beautiful and terrifying world, and sharing and inspiring many others to persue a more rustic exsistence in order to bring balance to our modern mode of living. Keep it up, and stay awesome

Just because there is water in one section doesn't mean that there will be water up in the mountains. Fill up and drink up when you can find safe water. Best place for water is in your belly. I would also suggest while collecting dry grasses and such to watch out for snakes and scorpians. I tend to hit the area with my walking stick or even use the hardened end to bring the dry stuff closer to me, rather than reaching in to grab it.

It’s the perfect way to isolate your self while not getting bored.
