Survival in the desert
Desert Survival Skills
by Text by David Alloway
It is unfortunate that many people equate deserts with a hostile environment that conspires against human life. In the popular media, desert areas seem to be considered to be at the top of the wilderness list for danger. The historical fact is, however, that the human race was cradled in arid lands and people are well adapted to survive in deserts. Learning to be part of the desert's ecosystem, is the first step of desert survival. Our philosophy is not to fight the desert, but to become part of its ecosystem. Being prepared is an obvious benefit.
Preparation starts with how you dress. People stand upright and receive only 60% of the solar radiation that animals on all fours do. By adding a proper hat, with a wide brim and closed crown, the head and body are further protected. A common mistake made by new desert visitors is wearing shorts and sleeveless shirts. Loose fitting long sleeves and pants provide good air circulation and much better protection than sunblock. 
Sunglasses that exclude ultra-violet light are a good idea, and some studies claim they can help prevent cataracts later. Other areas of preparation include proper vehicle maintenance, carrying sufficient water, first aid and survival kits for desert environments, a sturdy, sharp knife and some useful knowledge.
The Panic Factor
The biggest killer in any emergency situation is panic. Panic blinds a person to reason and can cause them to compound the emergency with fatal results. Controlling panic is a matter of focusing the mind and operating in an organized manner. My Australian counterpart, Bob Cooper, teaches the ABC's of survival to ward off panic and start the person on a constructive course of action.

A: Accept the situation. Do not blame yourself or others. Do not waste time contemplating "What if I had..."
B: Brew up a cup of tea. This is a typical Aussie approach to the solution of everything. What you are actually doing is starting a fire, which is needed, and completing a familiar, calming chore. You can brew coffee or just build a fire.
C: Consider your options. Take stock of items at hand, such as water reserves, survival kits, etc.
D: Decide on a plan. Taking into account of your options, decide on a plan that best ensures your health and safety. Thoughts such as "I have to be at work tomorrow," are not considered.
E. Execute the plan and stick with it unless new conditions warrant.

The brain is by far the best survival tool we have. Survival is much more a mental than physical exercise, and keeping control of the brain is necessary. The large size of the human brain requires a high metabolic sacrifice in water and temperature control. Keeping the brain hydrated and in the shade will be more beneficial than all the gee-whiz survival gizmos in the sporting goods store.
An additional psychological factor is the will to survive. It may sound odd, but some people have just given up due to what they felt was hopelessness, impending pain, hunger, etc. In the lid of my survival kit I keep a photo of my two sons, ages 7 years and 22 months, as a reminder of who needs me.
Women should not be discouraged in these situations on the basis of their gender. Women have several physical advantages over men in high stress situations. I participated in a 200-kilometer survival trek in Western Australia in 1996 with two women in our group, and they did as well as the 7 men.
Survival Kits
I am a believer in a well-planned survival kit. In the Australian trek, each of us had a pocket-sized survival kit that fit in a soap dish. That, along with a knife, two one-liter canteens, a medical blanket and a compass each, we all crossed the finish line at the Indian Ocean. A survival kit must be small enough to carry at all times in the wilds. By cramming them full of unnecessary items they get too bulky and tend to get left in the car, backpack or elsewhere, which is the same as not having one at all. See the sidebar for the contents of such a kit. You'll be surprised at what can fit in a 4x3x1-inch" box.
Desert Survival Priorities
While there are some exceptions to this rule, desert survival priorities usually fall in the order of importance.
Water 
Deserts are defined by their lack of water. Learn to ration sweat, not water. By staying in the shade, limiting activity to cooler times such as night and using your available water, your chances for survival increase greatly. Sipping water does not get it to the brain and vital organs. Take a good drink when you need it. People have been found dead from dehydration with water in their canteens. Also, do not rely on "parlor tricks" such as solar stills as a primary source. These will often produce more sweat digging the hole than is obtained from water gained. Learn to locate water through areas of green vegetation, flights of birds, converging animal trails and digging in the outside bends of dry creek beds. Javelinas and burros are excellent at finding water and digging it up in creek beds. Best of all, plan ahead, and allow one gallon per person a day. This does not include your needs for cooking, pets or auto maintenance.


Fire
Fire may seem odd to have so high on the list of desert survival priorities, but there are considerations other than warmth, though a fire may also be needed for that reason. Fire can be used to signal, cook food and purify water. Fire also provides psychological comfort. People do not feel so lonely with a fire. It makes the night less frightening, and while there are few large animals dangerous to people in North American deserts, fire will keep them at bay. It is important to know how to start a fire under severe conditions with means other than matches. Friction methods such as the bow and drill take much practice and should be learned before they are needed.

Shelter
Aside from your clothes, additional shelter may be needed. In desert areas, shelter from the sun is usually the main consideration, but cold, rain, hail, even snow can also be factors. It is important to keep the skin temperature under 92 degrees F, to keep from sweating away precious water. Draping a sleeping bag over a bush for shade, while allowing for breezes, may be the best bet. Try not to sit on the hot ground, even if it means tearing the seats out of your brand new 4x4. Try to make shelter visible to searchers. Build shelter in a safe place, such as out of creek beds which can flash flood.
Signals
Signaling for help will hasten rescue. Signals, whether visible or audible, must be distinguished from nature. A signal mirror is best for sunny desert conditions and can be seen for miles. Flash at aircraft, dust clouds (which may be vehicles on dirt roads) and periodically scan the horizon. Burning a spare tire will put up a huge column of black smoke, but the tire must be punctured or have the valve core removed first to prevent it from exploding and injuring those nearby. Flares are good at night if there is reason to think they will be seen. Put the hood up on your car and tie a rag to the antennae. Wearing bright colored clothing will help aircraft see you better.
Audible signals should be made in rhythmic bursts of three. A long whistle blast sounds like a hawk from a distance, but 3 timed short blasts sound like a signal for help. Gunshots and car horns also should be timed in groups of three. Yelling is the poorest alternative. A whistle is a very good emergency item -- especially for children, who may be frightened by strange noises at night. If the noise is caused by searchers, a whistle will bring them closer. If caused by animals, real or imagined, a whistle will scare them away.
Food
"What did you eat?" is the question I get the most about my Australian trek. Most people think of survival in terms of lack of food. In hot climates, however, food is not as important as other factors. If water is in short supply it is important not to eat anything because it increases your water needs to digest the food. On my Australian adventure I had a 6-inch perch, a handful of wattle seeds, and 6 cattail shoots.
I lost 20 pounds, but after day 3, I did not feel really hungry. Water was our biggest worry. Most people today can go 3 weeks without eating. I think more people are afraid of the pain of hunger than starvation.
The basics of desert survival? Prepare for the worst. Control panic. Use your brain. Use energy and water wisely. Be ready to signal. Don't listen to your stomach. Most of all, do not fear the desert. For many of us, it is home.

Survival Off-road Driving
What to do when you get lost, stuck, or if your car break down. 
Stay with your vehicle or otherwise make yourself visible.
Keep calm -- don't panic and don't waste time on the 'if' word ('If only I hadn't done that'). It's wasted effort, you did it, or it happened, whatever. Spend your time constructively. 

Think through your options. Take stock of your supplies and situation.

Stay put, unless you have a clear and specific destination. If you choose to hike out, avoid walking during the heat of the day; morning and evening walking is better for conserving your body's moisture. If you must leave your vehicle, leave a note telling the direction of your travel, your destination, and the date and time you left. What can happen if you leave your car.

Seek shelter from the elements, but try to make yourself visible (with smoke or a signal fire, or a brightly colored tarp

Serious concerns with DOI?s 50-State America?s Great Outdoors Report

Take?Action!


Share your concerns with your Senators and Representative today!

?


On November 3, 2011, the Department of the Interior (DOI) released its 50-State America's Great Outdoors report. According to a DOI release, "The full report ? which contains two projects per state ? comes as part of President Obama's America's Great Outdoors (AGO) initiative to establish a community-based, 21st century agenda for conservation, recreation, and reconnecting Americans to the outdoors."
The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) and the All-Terrain Vehicle Association (ATVA) sent a letter, dated November 8, 2011, addressed to Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar requesting clarification on issues of concern. Specifically, the AMA and ATVA are concerned about the following: 1) the incorporation of public comments; 2) examples of projects in the report promoting the use of responsible motorized recreation; and 3) the role of Congress in the implementation of the report.
To view the AMA and ATVA letter, click here.
Upon initial review of the report, the AMA and ATVA cannot identify a single project that promotes responsible motorized recreation. This is concerning since the Administration's very own stated purpose of the report is to "[reconnect] Americans to the outdoors." Responsible motorized recreation connects Americans to the outdoors. This message was conveyed in thousands of comments to the DOI. In fact, the DOI applauds its own efforts of listening to and receiving over 100,000 comments from the public.
The report reinforces our concerns that not all comments, ideas, and recommendations were considered since the word motorized was not mentioned in the report, as it relates to off-highway vehicles. The word was only used in a prohibitive form, such as non-motorized.
The AMA and ATVA seek clarification on the role that Congress will have in how the AGO report will be implemented. The report did mention Congress' role in a few projects, such as Owyhee Land Exchange in Idaho. However, the report identifies various methods of funding and/or implementing but does not mention Congress. For example, "Interior will work with states and communities to advance these projects with existing resources through technical support and with its administrative authorities. It will also partner with states and communities to leverage grants, private funding, and other resources to help ensure a project's success."
Moreover, the DOI mentions it will "advance these projects...with its administrative authorities." This implies the DOI will not involve Congress, but will implement the report via executive actions. The AMA and ATVA urge that Congress and the public be involved in any disposition of public lands.
Therefore, the AMA and ATVA believe the land identified in the AGO report has a high probability of being incorporated in the form of an Omnibus Public Land Management bill or implemented administratively.
This is precisely what Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid did when he introduced S. 303, the "America's Great Outdoors Act of 2010," in the lame-duck session of the 111th Congress last year, as a substitute to seemingly unrelated legislation titled the "Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 2009." Reid's move was reminiscent of the rare parliamentary tactic that anti-OHV forces used in 2009 to close 2.1 million acres of public land. To view the AMA press release, click here.
The AMA and ATVA need your help to make Congress aware of our concerns with the AGO report. The fastest way to reach your Senators and Representative is to call them. You can find contact information for your elected officials at AmericanMotorcyclist.Com > Rights > Issues & Legislation, then enter your zip code in the "Find your Officials" box. A prewritten e-mail is available for you to send to your legislators immediately by following the "Take Action" option and entering your information.
For more information about how to protect your right to ride, please visit the Get Involved section of the AMA website. For direct access, click here.
Again, the AMA and the ATVA urge you to write or call your Senators and Representative today and ask them to address our concerns with the AGO report that may make public land off limits to responsible off-highway riders. Please forward this alert to friends and family to help spread the message as rapidly as possible.?

The Isle of Man TT motorcycle race. Still considered to be the most dangerous bike race in the world. Over 37 miles of road on an island that still has public lashing. If you crash and don't die, you are considered to be lucky. Now days these guys are going faster then ever. Amazing to watch. It really gives you an idea of just how fast these crazies are going.

Send your good thoughts to Gayle of the Graveyard Gamblers?MC (they are local 6 members).? As explained by Terry, below, Gayle had an unscheduled dismount this past Sunday.???Hopefully she will be going home soon after her wrist surgery at Sharp Memorial Hospital.? 
?
Date: Monday, November 7, 2011, 9:17 PM








I want to thank everyone for their support & concern for Gayle. The outpouring of calls, text, emails, & visits has been overwhelming & we sincerely appreciate all of you. I will try to get back to everyone. Today was very rough for her because she was in extreme pain, no food, & no smoking. We got her a med to relief the anxiety before she killed anyone. We waited in limbo all day for a spine surgeon not knowing if she would have surgery on her 8th vertebrae. Good news, no spinal surgery but she'll be in a back brace for 3 months to heal. Her wrist is bad, no blood flow to her fingers. STILL waiting for that surgeon but we already know it will require titanium pins. Hit me up for her cell # & hospital info - she loves hearing from peeps.

11/7/2011California Appeal Court Limits Traffic Stop Automobile Searches
California Court of Appeal rules arrest during a traffic stop does not automatically authorize a vehicle search.

Refusing to get out of a vehicle during a traffic stop does not justify a search of the automobile, the California Court of Appeal ruled Friday. The three-judge panel further developed the US Supreme Court's finding in?Arizona v. Gant?that arresting a motorist does not automatically authorize a warrantless search.

On September 27, 2009, Vernon Evans made a left hand turn from West Boulevard onto Slauson Avenue. Los Angeles Police Department Officer Kevin Currie and Officer Prodigalidad claimed Evans failed to signal and that his driving was erratic. When they pulled Evans over, he appeared nervous. Because the stop was at night and in "gang territory," Evans was ordered out of the car. Evans rolled down his window and asked why he was being stopped, but did not exit.

After reinforcements arrived Officer Currie blasted Evans with pepper spray. Another officer busted a window and tasered Evans. He was yanked out of his car and tackled on the ground. Officer Prodigalidad searched the car and found eleven empty sandwich bags and $65 in cash. The automobile was impounded while Evans was treated at the hospital. At the impound lot, a more thorough search of the car turned up enough cocaine to earn him a four-day jail sentence, with credit for four days time served.

A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge found the search was justified under the "automobile exception" to the Fourth Amendment requirement that searches should be performed only after obtaining a warrant. The appellate court disagreed, citing the precedent set by the Gant ruling that a search incident to arrest is only valid if the suspect can reach his vehicle or there is some reason to think the car contains evidence relevant to the arrest.

"When the initial search of the vehicle was completed, Evans had been tased and detained, and was lying face down on the ground outside the vehicle, with officers on top of him," Judge Richard D. Aldrich wrote for the court. "Plainly, he did not have access to the car's interior."

Prosecutors argued that the presence of drugs in the car would constitute his motive for his crime -- refusing to comply with the police officers' instruction for him to get out of the car. The appellate panel rejected this line of argument as justifying a search of any vehicle at any time.

"It is not difficult to imagine scenarios in which documentary evidence of motive, knowledge, or intent could reasonably be expected to be found in a car even when the driver is arrested for a minor traffic offense," Aldrich wrote. "There might be evidence of a speeding motorist's motive in the car: perhaps an appointment card showing he or she was late to a doctor's visit, or tickets suggesting he or she was in a hurry to attend the final game of the World Series. Or, a vehicle might contain evidence of distractions that caused a motorist to run a red light. Yet these are precisely the sort of traffic offenses which Gant held would not give rise to a reasonable basis to search."

Because the exceptions did not apply, the court overturned the conviction. A copy of the decision is available in a 180k PDF file at the source link below.

U.S. Senate to vote on proposal to kill trail funding


PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- The U.S. Senate will vote on a bill that would end the dedicated funding for the Recreational Trails Program (RTP), which is considered to be one of the most important and beneficial laws for off-highway vehicle (OHV) riders ever passed by Congress, the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) reports. 

The RTP, which provides money to states to develop and maintain trails, would lose dedicated funding under provisions in a transportation funding authorization bill -- S. 1813, "Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century" (MAP-21) -- which was approved by the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee by an 18-0 vote on Nov. 9. 

It's unknown when the full Senate will vote on the measure. 

The RTP became law in 1991 as part of a federal transportation funding authorization bill. Wayne Allard, AMA vice president for government relations, was shocked by the committee vote and noted that abolishing the RTP dedicated funding would effectively create a tax increase on OHV riders because the RTP funds would no longer be designated for a program that benefits motorized trail users. 

"Motorcyclists pay the gasoline taxes that go to sustain the trails program," Allard said. "Many interests pull from the highway fund and do not pay into it! It becomes akin to a tax increase to the general fund. 

"This program was created for trail users and is self-funded by the highway fuel taxes of trail users," he added. "Trail users see this program as a very essential part of their chosen form of recreation, and there's no reason to redirect the funding for the program. The RTP pays for itself." 

The RTP represents a portion of the federal motor fuel excise tax collected from non-highway recreational fuel use. In other words, taxes generated by fuel used for OHV recreation -- by snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), off-highway motorcycles and off-highway light trucks -- fund the RTP. 

"I urge all concerned riders to contact their U.S. senators and ask them to support continued dedicated funding for the Recreational Trails Program," Allard said. "Money for the program comes from off-highway riders and should continue to be used to benefit off-highway riders."

TSA Turns to Nation's Highways
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was formed in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It has grown into a bloated, ineffective federal agency that will command a budget of $8.1 billion for 2012.
On second thought, forget "grown into." It has been ineffective since Day 1.
We have the TSA to thank for knee-jerk, reactionary policies that resulted in airport security measures such as shoe removals, confiscation of liquids/gels/aerosols in containers larger than 3.4 ounces, and full body scans.
Security expert Bruce Schneier goes so far as to say, "Exactly two things have made airplane travel safer since 9/11: reinforcing the cockpit door, and convincing passengers they need to fight back. Everything else has been a waste of money. Add screening of checked bags and airport workers and we?re done."
Now the TSA is bringing its wasteful and intrusive ways to our nation?s highways.
The TSA joined with the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security last month to conduct an operation that randomly searched truck cargoes and subjected bus passengers to detailed individual security checks under the premise that terrorism is more likely to be found on interstates than on airplanes.
The joint operation was given the indecipherable name "Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response", presumably because it results in the awesome-sounding acronym, VIPR.
The VIPR security operations were staged simultaneously at five Tennessee roadside weigh stations and at two bus depots in Knoxville and Nashville.
Tennessee officials have been quick to point out that VIPR is not in response to any particular terrorist threat. The drug- and bomb-sniffing dogs deployed at the weigh stations, they say, are terrorism countermeasures and not violations of the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure.
NMA Tennessee State Activist Tona Monroe begged to differ. She sent messages to state politicians and to the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security demanding an immediate stoppage of VIPR activities.
In response, a representative from the Department of Safety noted that "the purpose of the VIPR operation was to detect and deter criminal activity on Tennessee?s roadways and educate professional truck drivers to look for and report suspicious activity . . . While Tennessee is the first state to conduct a VIPR operation on this large of a scale (simultaneously at seven locations), Tennessee is not the first state to ever conduct a joint federal-state VIPR operation."
Nor will it be the last. The United States has 55.6 million miles of paved roads and the TSA has bank vaults full of taxpayer cash to spend.
One can only imagine the schemes that will be dreamed up to cast a wide and warrantless net over our nation?s drivers, riders and travelers. ?
