Hydration is invariably your greatest priority when marooned on a desert island. Unless it is rainy season, finding water should be your number one goal. If you can’t find a water source and you’ve only amassed a few coconuts then you are going to have to improvise. Remember those plastic bottles I mentioned, that are abundant on desert islands nowadays? Well, one in ten is going to have drinking water still in it. They wont taste great, but it’s life. We also teach you how to cut them to make a simple solar still. Another way is to take two glass bottles (they are always washed up) and place them neck to neck with a scarf of cloth and and place one on hot embers. The second should be cooled periodically with sea water to create a primitive still. This will yield about 50 ml a hour, so cooling one bottle and stoking the fire would have to be a constant focus just to stay alive.

6. Conserve Your Water

Your body needs a minimum of 350 ml per day to survive. In the tropics, this is 600 ml. Add exertion etc to that, and you can multiply this number by 10! So, if water rations are low, you’ll have to conserve your water. Here’s how: Don’t eat. Your body needs water to process your food. Food fats require 9 times the water to break down compared to carbohydrates, so make the smart choice if you need to eat at all. Remember your body can go 30 days without food but only 3 days without water.Don’t talk, breathe only through your nose.Remain still all day in the shade, only moving to keep cool in the ocean. Do any of your work at night, when it’s cooler outside. This is important to know if you’re on a 100% survival adventure. Here at Desert Island Survival, we take hydration very seriously during your stay on the island, so this is one aspect of survival you don’t need to worry about.
