KEY:

- I will bring a compass because it helps me determine the direction in the desert and not get lost.

- I will bring a sleeping bag instead of a tent because the tent is quite heavy, not suitable for long trips.  Sleeping bags can keep me from lying in the desert in sub-zero temperatures at night. 

- I will bring a water bottle because it can help me to store water if I encounter cacti, then smash them with rocks, I will have some water to pour into the water bottle.  If I do that, I should be able to live at least a week. 

- I will bring binoculars because it can help me see where there are wildlife to stay away, see where there is water to provide for my body, see a certain tribe and ask them for help asked them to show me the way out of the desert.
