    If you chase two rabbits, you will lose them both.

    I would have to say the are both evenly matched. I wouldn't want to be in a survival situation in either.

    I think you need to add to the scenario before anyone came make a judgement. Try the scenario checklist:

    Tracks Across the High Plains...Death on the Bombay Line...A Touch of Death and Mayhem...Dead Rock...The Griswald Mine Boys...All On Amazon Books.

    depends, what eqipment do i have?
    in the artic if dressed for it and have a rifle and tools for shelter building then i would think it would be easier than the sahara, if i have a small stove i can get water
    in the sahara, from the vids i have seen, no discernable ways of shelter or water, and i would not eat anything if i can't replace water
    now the deserts of america are different , would survive there the best
    always be prepared-prepare all ways

    WRONG (as usual) WE! A REAL expert, such as myself, would thrive in the Sahara. And you claim to know your stuff........

    Redundancy, Nell. I always carry at least two.
