By Susan Lister

I worked in Dubai at the Higher Colleges of Technology teaching Multimedia, Photography, Project Management etc.(1999- 2004).

Almost every weekend we would go out camping in the desert.

And every weekend I would get stuck

My friends were always happy to help me out

Someone would get in my truck and try this, try that…

and eventually drive the truck out of its bad spot.

BUTI really needed

to learn “To Fish”

rather than be handed a

‘Fish’.

I needed to become self-sufficient –

Luckily, there were only a few key things I needed to learn how to do!

Desert Dunes Survival Tip
