There are five kinds of desert wilderness: the desert mountains, the rocky plateau, the sand dunes, the salt marshes, and the broken or deserted terrain known as the gebel or wadi.

Navigation, the actual planning of a trip across the desert, is difficult because there are few landmarks plus intense heat causes optical illusions to the distant horizon.

For most people, a trip into the wilderness is not a solitary experience. Safety experts recommend that you travel in groups with a minimum size of two to four. The individual wilderness education of the travelers can be different, there should always be an expert or experienced person to serve as a leader. If you travel alone, you increase the risk of injury or death in the wilderness.

Even though you may start a trip into the wilderness in a group, there are always possibilities that lead to separation and/or injury. Injured members of a group may have to stay in a safe camp while some, or all, of the others return to civilization to bring help. It is important to plan for the worst on any wilderness excursion.

These non-food and drink needs do not have to meet the same exacting standards of purity. Most travelers want to feel confident the water is sufficiently free of human destructive germs and chemicals. This helps in the prevention of illness from touching bathing water, or wearing clothes washed in an impure pond.

Gore’s book shows reasons why people need to save the earth from the hazards of climatic change. It also implores world leaders to stand up and take heed of the warnings of an environment in crisis.
