I'm stuck in the outback/desert with a bucket and a sheet of plastic i'm dying of thirst wat do i do ?

Well, if you are already dying of thirst, it's too late to do anything. If not, you might try catching the morning dew on the plastic and let it drip into the bucket.I'm stuck in the outback/desert with a bucket and a sheet of plastic i'm dying of thirst wat do i do ?
Solar Still:





Dig a conical hole smaller in diameter than the plastic sheet, and deeper than the bucket.





Line the sides of the hole with ANYTHING remotely damp, including any fluids you can find or produce (urine, radiator water, sea water, etc.)





Put the bucket in the bottom of the hole.





Cover the hole with the plastic and weigh down the outer edge.





Carefully put a small weight in the center of the plastic so it lines up over and even a little inside the bucket, but does not touch the bucket anywhere.





The sun shining on the stuff under the plastic will evaporate it. it will conense under the plastic and drain don and drip off in the bucket.





Carefully undo a side to remove the bucket and drink. Replace bucket, rewet, and reset.





It takes about 4-6 of these to supply one person in most conditions.





If you have some tubing, stick it in the bucket to drink with instead of opening the still.I'm stuck in the outback/desert with a bucket and a sheet of plastic i'm dying of thirst wat do i do ?
such a dumb question just use whatever device u used to write this stupid question and call the freakin cops!
CHOOSE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:





*Play bongos on the bucket while the wilderness wind flags your plastic sheet.





* Wrap yourself in the plastic, stand in the bucket and pretend you're a potted desert plant





* Get sticks that are a little longer than the bucket - stand them upright in the ground. Place bucket in center of sticks - spread the plastic over sticks and bucket. Stretch as tight as you without pulling down the sticks - using rocks or other debris to hold down the four corners of the plastic on the ground. Let the sun condense moisture out of the ground. WHOOPS! One more thing - add a pebble in the center or the plastic directly over the bucket. This will form a drip zone, focusing the water collected on the underside of the plastic to drip into the bucket.
i think you are supposed to put the plastic over the bucket and catch the condensation, but that is going to be awfully slow. could kill a roo and drink the blood, or try digging down and see if you can hit some water in an area where the vegetation seems heavier. good thing your wireless access works out there, so you won't die of loneliness, at least.
Spread the sheet out and wait for morning.Condensation (morning dew)will form on it.Let it drain into the bucket and drink it.
PRAY FOR SOME RAIN.
And a laptop?
use the plastic to catch condensation and let it drip into a bucket
get off your lazy but, go to the fridge, and grab a diet coke.
