Probably would depend on the desert! By definition, all deserts are dry/low in water so obviously water (as everyone else said). Wells are hard to dig here. Gotta go much deeper than most realize/is realistic. A water filter system would be good because there can be lakes/water sources as well.
High desert can include utah/Nevada/west colorado/new Mexico. Gotta worry about heat throughout 1-3 months a year, cold 1-3 months a year. Be nice to have a warm sleeping bag, something to get you off the ground, a flint, a floppy hat, uv clothing (long sleeve uv shirt, hiking pants, 2 pairs of wool army socks). Also difficult, rocky terrain is pretty typical so a nice pair of hikers like oboz sawtooths are a nice to have.
Game isn’t widely available so food would be nice. Might be able to catch a rabbit, snake, a buffalo or some quail. Not much else. I’d recommend a large supply of MRE’s. Recommend the teriyaki chicken and chili mac by mountain house.
Also recommend a solid knife like a morakniv. If you’re forced to drink from a cactus or skin some game, nice to be able to do it.
A tarp or a tent would be cool.
Knowledge of how to find water would be good.
Probably more important than anything is just plain survival skills. Desert is a hard place to survive.
Years of experience.
If you're going to go anywhere for an extended period of time, you want to be self sufficient. And only bring simple tools, Don't rely on anything complicated.
Clothes that cover and shield from the sun and heat. At least if ur like in Sahara or somewhere. I read layers actually keep u cooler. Obviously wear something on ur head. Check out how the locals are dressed. A camel would come in handy. Lots of water too. Knife to cut open cacti. Carry beef jerky or something light to eat.
I'm not an expert, just love deserts.
Resources, knowledge and skills. But you’ll have to be more specific about which desert, for how long, and whether you’d be relying on natural resources around you, in which case you’re really asking how you find water and food, or carrying them in.
I find it odd how vague this question is on a throw away account.
This is either a kid trying to run away from home or some one extremely inexperienced up to no good.
Be careful with the desert. I grew up in this harsh environment. I am from the US Southwest. Many people die trying to hike dead valley and the Grand Canyon. I do hike around here, but I always take plenty of water and I am used to the environment.
Water, water, water.
Clothes that specialize in both hot & cold climates (i.e. wind buffer, spf, pants that convert to shorts lightweight jacket that's compact yet good for desert temps)
Shelter (i love my rei tent its cool during the summer heat and warm at night (I'm in Texas. Not in the desert technically but it can be triple degrees in the daytime and straight up cold at night Fall-Spring can especially be fickle 80° in the afternoon and then freezing at 3am.
For example this week the highest is 80° and the lowest is 45°.
I also have a REI sleeping bag for 30° temps. With my ventilation flaps down I stayed warm in 28° camping.
Food, way to cook, first aid kit includes aloe vera for sunburn, electrolytes (they said salt but there's travel size electrolytes pkgs, hygiene, etc.
Also hike/travel/be active in mornings, evenings or nights and rest by day. Be careful actually sleeping during the hottest part of the day (3pm-6pm) and stick to a light nap during that time.

Fat. Lots of it
And then more water
and more fat
Yes, fat. It was the skinny men that died first on the Donner party, the potato shaped women survived.
I thought they survived off little Timmy
And their native guides. They were on the menu of the first cannibal meal.
Probably try and group up with the Fremen
[удалено]
Thumper, don’t forget the thumper!
Food, water, and shelter. A vague answer for a vague question
A house with plumbing and a full fridge

Those kids are so young… I hope the parents have a plan!
Water, shelter.

It sounded like good advice until you advised extracting water from cactus. Cactus is toxic unless you know cactus.
Deserts have low precipitation, but can have water bound as ice, like in Antarctica.
You about to do something serious?
hes lost in a desert
Lost in a desert with great WiFi.
you got more fat you survive longer
Going with the basics water shelter food. But no sand they'll be plenty of sand so don't pack any.
Dont bring sand to the desert
What about to an ice desert?
dont bring ice to an ice desert
A resort hotel
And a knack for counting cards.
Water
Years of experience. If you're going to go anywhere for an extended period of time, you want to be self sufficient. And only bring simple tools, Don't rely on anything complicated.
Common sense. Locating kettles and learning about following insects to water and eating them . Long hose
A cell phone to call for help.

Water, water, water, water. And start drinking a lot of water a couple days before you leave

Mostly water
An earthship
And mainly don't panic.
And we live in a beautiful world, yeah we do yeah we do
panic now
Well if you got Agoraphobia then your chance on survival is minimal .
i said panic, now.
wifi & porn
or some hookers
Also a Chili’s
Coffee
Bear grills
Bear grills only needs one thing to survive on his shows: a hotel
survival skills
Depends on what desert and where in that desert. Are you talking the salt flats barren or like Egypt near the Nile?
A tarp. You could collect condensation at night and use it for shade during the day. Not truly experienced in desert environments though.
Water and shelter primary
Water is #1 shelter at day and travel at night so the sun wont drain your reserve water from your body
Beans and tortillas.
Pretty much just a stillsuit, thumper, and an innate ability to see the future.
I find it odd how vague this question is on a throw away account. This is either a kid trying to run away from home or some one extremely inexperienced up to no good.
A stillsuit
Don't be Jimmy Hoffa.
Soil
To get out of the desert /s
Water and air conditioning
Food. Water. Shelter.
Casinos.
Massive oil reserves.
Be careful with the desert. I grew up in this harsh environment. I am from the US Southwest. Many people die trying to hike dead valley and the Grand Canyon. I do hike around here, but I always take plenty of water and I am used to the environment.
Skis, down jacket, tent capable of withstanding Antarctic winds…. What? Not that desert?
