    Introduction
    This book is all about survival – survival of the fittest, survival during man-made and natural calamities and catastrophes, and how to cope with disaster.
    I will be telling you about historical and present-day examples in this book, about disaster management and about attitudes of people when faced with disaster. So this book is just not about managing a disaster on a personal level, it is How about coping and being prepared for disaster when and where it strikes.
    The 21st century, unfortunately, with its state-of-the-art technology and technical development is one of the most dangerous eras in the history of mankind. However much we talk about world peace, we know in our hearts of hearts that that will never happen, because then man will not have anything else on which to quarrel and argue with his fellow man.
    Good sense has never been the first priority of mankind when ambition and greed and ulterior motives of Ich Uber Alles lurks in the hearts of men. And that is his first instinct, conquer, rule, and destroy.
    Apart from man-made catastrophes, unfortunately, Nature has also begun to take a hand in the process of destruction. And she is more powerful than 1000 nuclear bombs. In fact, she is quite capable of putting man in his tiny little space in her scheme of things. So one may survive the wrath of man against man, but one is rather helpless when faced with nature in all her destructive splendor and glory.
    And that is why man has to use his good sense to face reality and understand that his family and his survival depends on a little bit of strategic planning, right now, when he has the time and means to gather unto himself the necessary things which can mean life and death, for he and his family.
    Now what made me decide to write on survival with tips and techniques?
    I was rather surprised, when I went to a friend’s house, and saw that she had four bags packed and placed at strategic exits. When she saw me looking at them, quizzically, she just told me, “Oh, those are just our family survival kits. It is better to be safer than to be sorry and to be caught napping and unprepared.”
    I came back home and began to think. Now, here was a clearheaded family, who knew that disaster could strike anywhere, anytime. Besides, we live in an area, which is prone to earthquakes. Waking up in the middle of the night, to find our ceiling trembling is part and parcel of our lives and we have got used to it. Also, we know that one fine day, it may literally and figuratively fall on us.

      A Beginner’s Guide to Desert Survival Skills Knowledge and Skills to Survive in the Desert Table of Contents Introduction Protecting Yourself in a Desert Low Ground Versus High Ground Common Sense Survival Tips Car Breakdown in the Desert Traveling in a Dust Storm Area Protective Clothing Desert Survival Kit Food Why a Good Lighter? Trapping Food in the Desert Extremely easy Hopi bird snare Making Slipknots Making a Slingshot Conclusion Author Bio- Introduction I remember seeing Lost in the Desert as a child, and there are just some scenes which I remember. The father of a child lost in the desert believes that his child has survived a plane crash. So he gets millions of leaflets printed and airdropped all over the desert, with survival tips to his son, reassuring him that his father will find him, and all he has to do is survive. Dirkie and his dog survived – this movie -made by Jamie Uys who then produced the hugely successful The Gods Must Be Crazy – is based on a true story. So the first point is, you need to have a will to survive. Movies and reality apart, how is it possible for people to survive in the desert, especially in adverse weather conditions for centuries? How is it that people in the Kalahari, in the Sahara or in the Thar desert do not mind living out their lives in such bleak and harsh conditions? Fortunately, a majority of our 21st century world is still green and does not consist of miles and miles of land with no water and no food in sight. Well there is a slight lack of knowledge here. There is food and water in the desert. It depends on us to know how to get it. This book is going to give you information, especially useful tips and techniques, on how to preserve you and survive in desert conditions, especially when you are on limited food and water supplies.
