Lesson 3 of 12

Priorities in other climates

35 min

The survival priorities from lesson 2 are a default, built around the kind of trouble people meet in temperate hills. Take them somewhere else and the order shifts. In a hot desert the thing that kills fastest is heat and the water it drains from you. In snow it is wind and the loss of insulation. In rainforest you will rarely be short of water, but you may be crippled…

In this lesson

  • Desert priorities: shade, stillness and water
  • The mistakes people really make
