Last year, a French cyclist was airlifted from the same region after an accident.
In the past, the NSRC has shared safety tips for those who venture into the desert:
- Make sure you have sufficient food, water and a portable stove in case you have to stay longer.
- Use a GPS device or smartphone app with offline maps. Mark your starting point, destination, and rest stops
- For those driving - gas stations may be far from the desert, so carry extra fuel.
- Travel in a group and stay in contact. It's essential for safety, especially if you get lost. A walkie-talkie is a smart idea.
- In the event that your vehicle becomes stuck in the sand, you should also have a tow rope and shovel on hand.
- Ensure your vehicle is in good condition before heading out. Spare tires, tire-changing tools are essential.
