Why Can't You Walk in a Straight Line When Lost in the Desert? The More Straight You Go, the Worse It Gets! (Let's Do It This Way!)
Nowadays, travel has become one of our lifestyle habits, and people's living standards are constantly improving with the development of the country. With the changes in concepts, people realize that leisure and entertainment are very important for their lives, especially after a long period of hard work, people need some leisure and entertainment activities to reduce their work pressure. Among these, tourism is a very popular leisure and entertainment way for the public.
Someone asked me, what is the significance of tourism? Is it just to appreciate some beautiful scenery? No, tourism can not only bring us beautiful scenery, but also let us understand the humanistic customs of different regions, while expanding our horizons, it also enriches our life experience. Sometimes, many people don't go on trips just to admire the scenery, some are to pursue the thrill of life, they are full of adventure spirit and love for the distance.
The desert has a mysterious power for many people. Every year, many people want to complete the feat of crossing the desert alone. However, this challenge is full of danger, because you are easily lost in the desert. In normal times, as long as we get lost, as long as we keep walking in a straight line, we can get out. However, this theorem does not apply in the desert. The more straight you walk, the more you can't go out.
In the desert, it is full of sand, and the sand is very fluid. Even if you sometimes consciously maintain a straight walking, after a period of time, you turn around and see that you have not been walking in a straight line, because the sand is affected by the wind, so you cannot distinguish whether you are walking in a straight line. Sometimes it will also mislead you.
Moreover, in the desert, you almost have no reference. There are only 'sand mountains' one after another, and you don't know what the difference between them is. Many people say that they should follow their own shadow direction, so your reference is the sun, but the sun is also moving. And if you really walk in a straight line, you have to climb many 'sand mountains', which consumes a lot of energy.
When lost in the desert, in fact, to get out, you should walk like this! Choose the windward face of the 'sand mountain', because the sand on the windward face is often affected by the wind, so the gaps between the sand are smaller, and it is easier to walk on, which saves you a lot of energy. Of course, this premise is that you clearly know that walking in this direction will make you out of the desert.
In this era of such developed technology, the best way to get lost in the desert is to stay in place and save your energy, waiting for rescue. Because rescue personnel are searched in sectors, the more you walk, the more difficult it is for the rescue team to find you. So stay in place, the survival rate is higher. Friends, what other good methods do you share in the desert?
