10、ter than you expect to drink and dont drink it just because you have it. If your mouth is thirsty, you can moisten it with a single mouthful; you dont need to chug(一口气地喝 ) down the bottle.

Even if

19、 you dont have a compass, try to approximate this kind of locationsense while your memories are fresh. If you dont have a compass, see Step 3.
