Hydrate before and after
The desert’s dry air accelerates dehydration—drink water before pickup and carry a reusable bottle for the trip.
Protect your skin and eyes
Bring high-SPF sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and UV sunglasses; sand reflects intense sunlight.
Secure loose items
Wind and vehicle movement can eject phones, hats, and scarves—use zip pockets or dry bags during dune bashing.
Plan for motion
Dune bashing is intentionally dynamic; if you get motion sick, sit forward, look at the horizon, and take anti-emetic meds beforehand.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated is critical in the hot, dry desert air.
