Two rules thatsurprise everyone

1

Do not walk for help

A car is big, easy to spot and gives you shade. People have died of exposure walking back to a paved road.

NPS, Mojave National Preserve
2

Do not ration water

Sip steadily. Rationing turns you into a heat casualty with water still in the bottle.

The other four

Plus the water math, the trip plan and the cards, all in the kit.
