Desert Survival Skills Practice - Part One - Checking the Dry Stream Bed
Dry Stream Bed
Spent some time following a dry stream bed to see if we could locate some shallow pools of water. When checked, the ground was fairly moist just below the surface and several locals indicated that there had been some rain recently in the area. This indicated that there was an extremely good chance of finding a source of water nearby.
Being able to read the signs and then using them to find a source of water can be extremely critical to your ability to survive in a desert environment.
When you're spending some time in the desert, it's a good time to practicing your desert survival skills.
Staying above the water line!
