eli5 Conserving energy and water in the desert, by simply only moving at night

146 views

Shouldn’t you be able to drastically conserve power while also having a lot less headach by just driving or walking ar night?

Let’s say you’re driving with a bike, several liters of water and a tent.
You stay in the tent at day, always being in the shadows. (Putting up covers and “sunshields”. You’re drinking as normal and when the sun goes down, you start driving until it rises again, the cycle repeats.

Wouldn’t that be the most relaxed way through the desert possible

Desert nights are very cold. If you sleep during the day and travel during the night you’ll get cooked in your tent and freeze on your bike. If you travel during the day then the breeze can at least cool you down a bit and you’ll stay warm in your tent at night.
