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.

What are the 5 elements of the soul?

The five components are: Ren, Ka, Ib, Ba and Sheut.

theguardian.com - 5: Components of the soul in ancient Egypt - The Guardian

The five components are: Ren, Ka, Ib, Ba and Sheut.

The simplest concept is Ren, which is literally your name: it lives for as long as you are remembered, or can be read about on inscriptions, or included in prayers for the ancestors and their achievements. Ka is also easy enough to translate into modern idiom, for it is that vital essence that makes the difference between the living and the dead, between life and dead meat, between a warm body and cold clay. Ib is literally the heart, formed from a single drop of clotted blood extracted from your mother's heart at the hour of your conception or birth. By heart, the Egyptians meant not just the organ for pumping blood around your body, but the seat of your soul, the good directing force in your life, searching after truth, peace and harmony. Ba is that which makes each of us unique and different, that which makes us strive and achieve, the motivator but also the hungry elemental force that needs food and sex. In some form, your ba is destined to survive after death, often depicted or imagined as a human-headed bird, which with good fortune will go forth by day to enjoy the light, but might also end up existing only in the dark, like the bat or the ruin-haunting owl. Sheut is your shadow, and by extension the other you, as well as being used to describe a statue, a model or a painting of a human.
