Its killing me. What did you do to be stuck for 4 days without water?
Took a wrong turn off the Stuart Highway (really, really long road that literally runs from one side of the Australian continent to the other, through a lot of desert) and hit a kangaroo, disabling the car. One of the big rules about desert driving is you carry enough drinking water - and I’d been careless and hadn’t.
I did have some water, and I drank the wiper water (which had detergent in it but was still reasonably potable) but still wound up running out.
Only smart thing I did was stay with the vehicle - a lot of people have died in these situations by trying to walk their way out. The weather was also relatively mild at the time.
