      @@dasppg9737 You are right, the other guy claiming you know nothing is silly. You don't travel in the desert by day, you also don't go there for a day, in a car, without a weeks worth of drinking water just incase! I would take potential harm from cartel fools driving around the desert against the guaranteed harm of walking in 40 to 50C heat. One may kill you, the other certainly will. They did the wrong thing from start to end. As for not drinking from a river, when in a desert, especially after damn near killing yourself to get there is absolutely insane. They should have drank all they could to mass hydrate and should have collected as much water to take back as possible. They had a car and so had a hundred ways to boil the water and make it safe but didn't do this either. They had a car they could use in many different ways to start a fire.
      Never go into a desert, even for the day, without prepping for the worst, especially at their age for God sake!

    I’m a woman who was born here in AZ and I keep a waterproof backpack filled with heat tolerant emergency supplies in my car at all times. We’re taught as kids to always carry key items and, if that wasn’t sufficient, you hear stories of people who weren’t prepared that should serve as a warning. Recognizing the landscape isn’t the same as knowing how to survive in it, clearly. It felt like she was making an effort to ignore every rule of going into the desert.

      Roger is a simp and will do pretty much anything for some wet slit...even if it's attached to a nasty ignorant woman with a couple ignorant kids. Poor Roger is doomed to a life of being with a woman who will do one stupid thing after another, and Roger will be there to take the blame for it all. Things won't end well for Roger, and he will have a record for domestic abuse after this woman, or some other one calls the cops on him for making her "mad enough to hit him" because when the cops show up and inform them both that on a domestic call "one of them has to go to jail" Roger will once again take the fall. But hey at least he made it out of the desert with that crazy bitch and her stupid fucking kids!

    Thank God they survived! I really don't want to sound rude or judgemental, I just can't believe the bad decision making this mother had. Taking her kids to the desert, she should have been WAY more mindful. It was already a bad idea to go in the desert without plenty of water, food, and emergency supplies for "just in case reasons", but to go off trail was a horrible idea. Then, for her to think it was a good idea for her and her kids to leave their car and go with her bf to go see if there were any "supplies" in the random broken down car rather than her and her kids wait at their car that had air conditioning while her bf went to check....it was totally ludacris and a horrible decision. Then, when the bf went to go get help....the mom had the ridiculous idea for her and her kids to start walking again... in the opposite way of their car....and then along the way she got to the path that she knew for a fact would lead her kids to safety but instead goes further out into the desert to find her bf....it's just crazy to me!!! The most important thing is they survived, but they should have never been put in that situation to begin with. Sometimes people underestimate things in life and this was most definitely one of those times.

Even when the daughter realizer she should get water from a cactus, she immediately flipped the decision to be about her dramatic choice to shoot a cactus. Her husband found help, but it was about how she was this diehard desert veteran. Reality she caused the initial problem, she then made that problem worse, then given the opportunity to go to safety and send someone after him, she didn't because she needed to be the hero.

    The way this lady still tries to pretend she's an "outdoors type of person" who "knows this desert" explains a lot about how they ended up in this situation to start with. She may have been going out there her whole life, but she apparently didn't learn anything. 1. Her excuse for not having shovels or any other gear is that "we were just going out shooting for the afternoon." but anyone who has been in the desert for any length of time knows you never go into the desert unprepared- not even if it's for just a few minutes. They say that about the wilderness in general, but it's especially true of any extreme environment- and the desert is definitely an extreme environment. She should've known better than to go there in a normal, 2-wheel drive truck- with no extra water or gear of any kind. 2. Once you're stuck in the desert- as dangerous as it may seem- you move at night, not during the day. The nights actually get pretty cold- moving around keeps you from getting too cold- and saves you from the heat of the day. As soon as the sun gets a good hand's width above the horizon- you find shade and stay still until it sets again. That is- if you're going to move it all- 3. you're best to stay with your vehicle because it's much easier to find. And it provides cover form the sun, and protection from animals at night. The only way I would not do that is if I knew no one was going to miss me so there wouldn't be a search- or I knew my way out and thought I could make it. This lady didn't know jack about being in the wilderness or the desert imo. There's no shame in that- 99% of ppl don't- but they also don't go out there pretending they do- with their kids.

    The truck with AC, run the AC and the intense cold of the condenser against the red hot air will cause large amounts of condensation to form. Collecting this clean water would have been a very good move before leaving the truck with the AC.

Just listen to the way she is talking about immigrants and being hysterical about the “Mexican gangs and smugglers crawling all over the desert” and the only “threat” she ran into was someone in a truck that SHE pulled a gun on. If they saw her as a threat first, it’s likely they saw her as the same kind of person she was afraid of. Just a bunch of racists scaring each other in the darkness.

If you find yourself on the wrong road, turn around ASAP and go back the way you came. DO NOT continue on an unknown road. Do not go any further into the desert than you need to. Stick to the road. You can get lost in 15 minutes in terrain that looks the same everywhere. You can lose direction easily. Know the path in and out by heart and be vigilant out there.

    My doctor and personal trainer tells me to drink more water. I have this video saved so I can watch it while gulping down jugs of water.

    There is no way her and the girls would have made it over the hills, in the direction of home, in their condition with no water. I'm glad she didn't attempt that.

    Its this type of poor decision making that is also probably the reason the kids real parent is no longer around.

    This whole ordeal reaks with stupidity. Traveling down a road you know you dont recognize and keep going, Traveling during the day instead of the cool night, not sleeping by the road so emergency vehicles can spot you, i mean come on.

    Great idea; where can we take kids to have fun? Oh yeah in the desert where there are scorpions; rattlers and extreme heat and no water and not to forget bandits! Next time; go to Disney world..
