Desert designation is based on local precipitation only, not amount of water locally available. Mountain rivers, aquifers, etc. may fill the water gap.


Yes, it "may", but a swamp always is. I don't know how this is really debatable in a survival situation. Now if you say rain forest, sure, I might take the desert.

How is a rain forest any worse than a swamp or desert?

Well swamp is the obvious answer, but i will say i do think the swamp is a lot more dangerous at night. You would need to be able to make some sort of shelter for sure.

Find a couple of hollowed out logs or hollow a few out, put rocks into your fire, preheat your rinse water, take your rocks from the fire, rinse in preheated log, put into final drink water. You'll eventually get boiling water in your final log. You don't have to rinse your rocks, I'm just sure most would prefer clear drinking water.


This may come as a shock, but we have no rocks in the swamp.

I was stranded in a swamp, had to wade and walk 8 miles alone in the dark.
