The narrator describes his solo adventure in Death Valley, the hottest place in the American continent, where 13 people died in 1849 during the gold rush. He sets up camp in a desolate area, away from snakes, and prepares for a 24-hour solo stay with a humanitarian ration, a headlamp, a fire flare, and a liter of water. He explores the desert, encounters a small lizard, and gathers large stones to create a makeshift protection field.
As night falls, he uses a club party bracelet and a telescope to scare off potential animals. He improvises a saline solution with his remaining water and sugar packets to stay hydrated. Despite the cold, he manages to survive the night. In the end, he is rescued, having faced one of the toughest challenges of his life.
