Lesson 2 of 12

When water runs short

35 min

Picture a hot, still afternoon. Your vehicle has broken down on a remote track, there is no signal, and you have two litres of water between you and the nearest farm, which you think is about 20 km away. The temperature is somewhere in the mid-thirties. Every instinct says: save the water. Take tiny sips. Walk now, while you still can.
