Hot times a’ foot!

In this volume of the Woodsmaster we traveled to deserts ranging  from the California Mojave Desert to the Bruneau Desert of Idaho to the  beautiful desert mesas of Utah’s Moab. During the course of our travels we were  able to capture the essential skills of on-the-ground desert survival. During  the 1 hour and 40 minutes of this great video you will learn the essentials of  water location, desert travel, desert shelter, Physiological effects, clothing  and protection.

You will see first hand the process of constructing a "solar  still" and a "transpiration still" and be able to decide for yourself if these  techniques are worth the effort. You will also learn about some of those "movie  skills" seen on popular programs… Is it cool to take off your shirt in the  desert? Find out…

Here are a few scenes from the 1 hour and 40 minutes of  hot instruction… It was really hot!
