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. Lifecaps.net You can get 33% off right now using my coupon code... Healthcap 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. I just spent 13 days in the desert with my backpack & pistol.

Anyway, why I spent 13 days in the Desert is I have property

Water was tough, it only rained once & I filled everything I
