I once lived in the desert for 3 months, because I had to, but now, I tried to go /out/ overnight by myself and I couldn't hold out.
I got some solid backpacking in, the hills at that site are monstrous. HR got up to 180. So it wasn't a total loss.
Maybe I need to bring some friends along next time.
