Ever since arriving here, It's been impossible to ignore the blazing heat of the Sahara Desert. The desert's climate is quite unsteady, ranging from 37.5 to -0.5 degrees celsius. Although it isn't at the highest point right now, I still must be very cautious of my water supply, as well as watch out for deadly sandstorms. There is no doubt that rain isn't a chance, as deserts are infamous for their
droughts, or long periods of no rain. In order to protect myself, I cut up my used parachute with my swiss army knife, and transform it into a makeshift tagelmust, or cheche, as the Tuareg people call it. It was worn by local Tuareg men, when traveling through deserts to protect themselves from sandstorms, and cold winds.
