    If it is too much for any human, then, I would say I would fail.

    I'd be like Bear Grylls, and spend the nights in four star hotels.

    I'd spend the days surrounded by film crews with refrigerated vehicles serving ice-cold refreshments including 99s and slightly chilled Libyan virgins.

    out of all the climates desert climate is really deadly
    the body loses water there is no water around, you sweat and lose water even when you breathe you lose water, common thing excessive water loss, dehydration, and all
    with almost no water to fullfill your water requirement you could be dead in a matter of days depending on your physical and psychological conditions

    its relatively easy to survive in a jungle food and liquid are available, you can survive ice too, its very difficult there as well but you can actually eat ice as its water,

    i have got some army training and some survival training as well
    so i will say i have around 90% of chances of survival, unless i am seriously physically injured, like multiple fractures, major wounds, excessive blood loss, brain damage, or anything like that
    i can walk out from any survival situation
    survival is not purely a physical thing its also a psychological thing, your mind can make you do things you cannot even imagine, in one particular case a regular guy did cut a branch of a tree with a small blade, it was not that he got physically stronger without reason, his survival instinct gave him the capability to do that

    you need to function effectively in a survival situation both physcially and psychologically
    energy wastage, wrong decisions, negative mentality, everything can cost you well your life

    I would drink my own piss, eat my eyeballs, then crawl up my own arse to keep out of the sun. Easy.

    I would bury myself in the sand then emerge months later when rainy season starts.
