Imagine embarking on a thrilling journey, where the scorching sun beats relentlessly upon your skin, till you can't recognise your real self. Welcome to the desert, the place where boundaries of human endurance are tested, and about nature, its beauty harshness is revealed. Kudos to @abdullahw2, for conjuring up this captivating contest. I'm thrilled to share my perspective below 👇🏽

Yes, I have. That fateful day at the construction site sparked an unrelenting imagination. Where the site was located was very sweltering, no shade -providing tress, I was left exposed to the blistering sun. It was narrow and sweltering, and I felt suffocated. After the discomfort at the site that fateful day, I finally got back home, and my mind begin to wander, conjuring visions of spending three or more days at the desert. "What if one day I wake-up in the desert, that simply means I'll be a dead man", I thought to myself.

That fateful day I worked at the site.	Sweltering and suffocating

That fateful day's harrowing experience sparked an unexpected flurry of thoughts, fueled by desperation and discomfort. I was deprived of basic necessities, , I found myself without access to a provision store to get some food or even a drop of water. I was thirsty to the extent where It couldn't swallow my own saliva anymore. Each attempted swallow felt like a razor-edged blade scraping against my parched throat, the pains was unbearable.

The mere seven hours under the scorching sun had pushed me to the brink of collapse. While in thoughts, a haunting question came across my mind: 'How would I survive three entire days in the desert's unforgiving vastness?' I started shivering when these thoughts run through my mind, and I couldn't help but wonder if I possessed the resilience to endure such an ordeal. Since it was just an imagination, I dismissed the thoughts and choose not to dwell on it further.

During the three days trip to the desert, I'll go along with essential items like Water, Shelter, First aid case and food. Venturing into the desert for three days together with these essential items, my life will be guaranteed.

To minimize my load, I plan to carry only 10 liters of water, acknowledging that this amount will not be sufficient for the entire three-day journey. I have allocated 3.3 liters for drinking purposes, rationing it carefully to last the duration of my trip. To safeguard against the desert's notorious dust and potential water contaminants, I'll bring a portable water filter to ensure access to clean drinking water throughout my journey.

To provide myself with adequate shelter during the three-day journey, I plan to bring a tarpaulin that's more lighter, so that when I'm in th3 afternoon I'll run into it, and have a good night rest when it's dark.

For my three-day desert journey, I'll prepare a first aid case, stocked with essential supplies, including, bandages for wound care, pain relievers for injury management, antiseptic spirit for infection prevention and cotton wool for wound cleaning. Additionally, I'll plan to go along a snake bite kit, so that it'll be like a shield against the wild snake I'll encounter.

For my three-day desert adventure, I've chosen non-perishable food items that provide sustained energy and nutritional value. My provisions include nuts, dried fruits, canned tuna, and beef jerky. These essential food sources will be crucial in maintaining my energy levels and ensuring I remain nourished throughout the journey.

For a 3-day desert trip, it's very crucial to go along with nutrient-dense, high-calorie foods and hydrating drinks to maintain energy and combat harsh environmental conditions. Foods like Nuts, beef jerky and dried fruits, which is rich in healthy protein and fiber. I'll pack hydrating drinks like Coconut water, prepare a herbal tea, and buying like 6 plastic rubbers of fearless drink.

Reasons why I'm packing all these foods and drinks is because they're high-calorie foods and well trusted hydrated drinks. I've been using fearless anytime I'm weak and I need the energy to complete each day's task. It has been good, one of the reasons I'll be going with it for my 3 - day desert trip.
