hi guys, how are you?

do anyone know anything ( book, video tape, a URL, etc) about surviving in ( desert, wood, sea, uninhabited island, etc ).

I couldn't find anything about this skill.

can you help me?

Thought it look like a joke it's not. Try John Wiseman's The SAS Survival Handbook, it describes most situations and environment you may have to survive in. Dived a lot in to check all the Lost incoherencies (and boy there's a lot !)

thank you Leto :biggrin:. I think it's what I need.

I believe this is the kind of skill you need to develop. As long as you are not forced to live in extreme conditions, all that you can read may seem ridiculous. Do you plan to take one of those TV adventures in the desert or other inhabit places ?

you are right the book I don't need, I don't have to read.

but we in our country love deserts. even if we may die

because of ( missing the way

, the nature of the deserts :redface:, wolves :biggrin:, snakes, etc) we still love it.

so I think it's an important book for me, don' you agree?

In this case, enjoy the reading.

Where are you from ?

Aha. That's why you love deserts.

I'm a little confused. How come you don't know how to survive in the desert ?

You know human beings live in a progressive development. and if we want to live in high level we most develop ourself, so our fathers left villages and lived in cities. therefore, I was porn and grew in a city which means that I didn't practice the Bedouin life. but at the same time I inherited the love of our desert, village, and the previous life.

and also, if we want to go to the desert we to know how to live there. e.g. we have to know how could we use the stars as signs to know the directions, to know where we are, to know the seasons, etc.

so it's not easy to live there.

I'm sure it's difficult to survive surrounded only by sand and no trace of water or trees. I don't even think to try it for myself. I prefer the comfort of the life in a city or vacantions into the mountains or nice places in tropical hotels.

Do you know somebody who can guide you in the desert ? Somebody who lives in there ?
