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

150 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

Depending on exact desert, it could be the most relaxed way. But deserts aren’t about just extremely hot temperatures, they have extreme climate overall – it could be 35C during day, and close to zero during night.
