What's it like to live in a desert country?
>no one wants to admit their country is a desert
>>61514724
Finland is a frozen desert though
Not bad at all
>>61514985
A frozen swamp, actually.
Breddy gud desu senpai
Southern California here. The only reason this place isn't an uninhabitable wasteland is from decades of human development and irrigation. You would never be able to tell that it's a desert if it weren't for all the trees and bushes and lawns and stuff, so they do a good job. Although the weather gets hot mostly, the air is dry and never humid, making it more enjoyable to go outside in the evenings
>>61514724
I would imagine its quite hot
>>61514985
also this
>drive to the next town
>car broken

I lived in Saudi Arabia for a year and a half. temps would go up to 51 degs in the summer and the saturation levels would always be 100% due to living in a coastal city.
in the "winter" tho the weather is like the British "summer"
Arizona here, it's pretty comfy.
>>61515424
Not all deserts are hot. Antarctica is technically a massive desert for example.
>>61514724
Fun

I lived in Egypt (Cairo) for a year. It kind of sucked how not green it was. I live in a lush part of Texas. There were parks but they were like an ugly texan lawn and you had to pay for entry. On the other hand, the aridity is nice. Summer and Winter were both extreme and there was the occasional sandstorm.
>>61517757
What kind of fun?
>>61517856
Shayyik 3aomak hi btitshrmat frossyia
>>61517902
Skin cracking off kind of fun.
>>61514724
desert climate is objectively the best
>>61517935
That doesn't sound fun at all!
It's alright
>>61517902
Anything is fun because desert life makes you nocturnal and I like doing things at night
>>61517951
Hahaha
there is quietness and space in a desert, i wanna be there if i can.
>>61517989
Do you drive around in your armored oil SUV and blast middle eastern synthwave?
>>61518054
SUV is gay, Range rover is better for riding dunes and doing stunts. I do the sand shit in my car but not the Arab street stunts.
>>61517950
Snowy climate is objectively the best
>:~[ ur wrong
>>61518192
Snow is shit if it was year round, but winter snow is fine and cozy.
>>61518192
>>61517950
What about a snowy desert climate?
>>61518272
I live in the city on Bechar, and sometimes there is snow in winter
>>61518272
>snowy desert
If you get enough snow to be "snowy" then you get enough precipitation to not be a desert
>>61518790
>image above you proving you wrong
>>61518835
2 inches of snow isn't a "snowy climate"
>>61518879
>If you get enough snow to be "snowy" then you get enough precipitation to not be a desert
So you're saying the city in that image isn't snowy?
>>61518754
that looks beautiful
i live in southern cali and the majority of it is desert. heck, theres even desert plant life, such as cactus, near the beach here in newport beach bay.
i wouldnt mind living in true desert areas areas if it wasnt filled with meth heads and if it wasnt that far from the coast. they tend to be low income areas since its so inexpensive.
West Texas. It's pretty fun to go out hiking in the desert and setting old junk up then blasting it with a .22 lr
>>61519503
>It's pretty fun to go out hiking in the desert
The heat doesn't kill you?
>>61519583
The summer fucking sucks hard I won't like but the winter season is heavenly.
Just bring shade, lots of water, and a good pair of boots if you are going out far. If you are driving off-road than a shovel is an absolute must.
Living in hot climate would make my life complete.
I like winter when it's snowy
But most of the time it snows for a week or two and whole winter is just meh nuclear wasteland scenery

sorry haven't had all my coffee yet.
>>61519583
Only scorpions kill (some, not all). Hiking is fun in deserts since you get to see what the fuck is in front of you. If you have a head wear (Cap, Ghutra etc) you won't feel the heat.
>>61519503
Sounds exactly like fallout new vegas to me. Is there any radroaches?
>>61514724
cold
>>61520117
>Ghutra
would be better if it had some sort of visor honestly
I'll admit it does keep you cool, same with light robes
>>61520257
We wear it with 3gal, Idk if that can work as a visor, it's helpful in really hot areas.
>>61520257
Just put on goggles mate.
>>61519583
Not if you bring enough water.
Pic related is a hike I did in San Diego back in May, very fun.
>>61521553
I am imagining myself chained to a whole barrel full of water, trying to drag it through a desert. Disturbingly reminiscent of medieval depictions of hell.
>his country doesn't even have a desert
>>61519503
littering faggot
>>61521651
Neither does yours.

I did another hike last Sunday. We went down into a gulch to get some waterfalls. The hike down took a little over an hour and it got to 115 degrees F (46 Celsius) The hike back up took like two hours. For the whole walk, no one in my group drank the entire gallon of water that each one of us brought. You'd be surprised at how well people can handle heat.

That's not a desert, that's a fucking sandpit.
>>61521881
your little willy is half inch long, and yet you call it a dick
>>61521881
It'll sound bigger measured in kilometres though.
>>61522017
>Polish desert 32 km2
>Sonoran desert 260 000 km2
lol
>>61522061
32 km2 is enough, we don't have many american tourists
>>61522061
who /sonoran/ here?

Tempe reporting
>>61522173
Mexicali is Sonoran Clay, those nigs shouldn't be our state's capital.
>>61514724
It fucking sucks and there are never as good of jobs in the desert as there are in other places because no one wants to live in a fucking wasteland
>>61522278
>Mexicali
I live in Calexico
>>61522296
So it's a lot like living in Lapland.
