I just spent 13 days in the desert with my backpack & pistol.
Do you know where Golden Spike National Historic Site is?
Look it up on a map in google, then look for Park valley Utah
which is Northwest from Golden Spike.I started in Corrine,
Right next to the Golden Spike National Site. I want to tell you
What I had & what I did. First I want to tell you why. Golden
Spike is where the Eastern Railroad & the Western Railroad met
& the first coast to coast transit was formed.
Anyway, why I spent 13 days in the Desert is I have property
at Dove Creek, which is west of Park Valley & has the same kind
of terrain & I wanted to see if I could survive if I had to.

Water was tough, it only rained once & I filled everything I
could, I scooped up muddy water & let the dirt settle to the
bottom.
I had one of those 2 dollar ponchos in my pack & it became my
water catcher & it worked great.
I have a couple of those filter straws that filter the water
as you drink. I recommend them, they are easy to carry & take
up little spage. They are made by Aquamira. Google for the
best price
I ate MRE's, apples, beef jerky & took Lifecaps for 13 days.
The Lifecaps are awesome, all natural, keep your blood sugar
level, vitamins & Minerals even Iodine. Since they are all
natural they are absorbed by your body within 20 minutes.

You can live on water & Lifecaps. They take up very little
room, you can carry 3 months worth in one small pocket of
your Pack.

I did have some Protein bars also.
Next time, I will fill my pack with protein bars, Lifecaps &
the rest with water. (as far as food goes) My first aid kit
& the rest of my gear would still be there.
I never had to start a fire. The days were so hot that the
cool night was a blessing.

It was supposed to be a 10 day trip but without a GPS it was
difficult for me to always be heading in the right direction.
I thought I was heading more West Than North & on day 8 I
saw the Freeway #30. I was tempted to hitch a ride but did'nt
I back tracked & went West & Northwest.
I do not know what I would have done without that day of rain
& the Lifecaps. I would take fiber pills twice a day, it gives
you a full feeling.
Water... If it was not for the rain, I do not know what I
would have done. Two days I acted as if I had no water with me
& tried to find water, crush roots & grass. If it would not
have rained, I would have run out of water & it would have
been really hard, I need to learn how to find water better.

I hope this helps. I really learned a lot & I will be better
prepared next year. I am going to do a 7 day in October, which
will be cooler & possibly snow. I will tell you about it.
