As a desert born person who regularly visits it I know a couple things here and there about living in the desert, and I wanna say that this man just did something I would consider almost impossible But he still made several mistakes: he walked towards mountains, which are almost always uninhabited, but he got lucky that time. He did not use that damned compass to atleast head west where everyone lives, or at the bare minimum just check to see if he is going south because that's a death sentence, but again, he got lucky. he might have not covered his face with his shirt to protect from the sand, sure, he might have a harder time breathing, but atleast he won't have sand in his lungs. (notice I said might, because I honestly believe he must have covered his face, because he survived 2 sandstorms, and breathing that in means you have tiny shards of glass in your lungs, almost always ends in relatively quick death). He didn't triangulate his position when he reached the mosque, like, bruh, had he known how mosque's are faced when they are built he would have known that the weird bump in one of the walls is to point to mecca, or south east from the sahara, and he could've headed west from there and probably found civilization. And most importantly, he ran without vision, about the equivalent of driving a car blindfolded in a crowded city. Never, NEVER move in any direction in the desert without knowing your approximate location and the direction of the nearest civilization, here in my country people do often get lost in the desert and the first advice anyone remembers when getting lost is to check where the sun rises and sets, from there, approximate the directions and head for your city if you were lost close by. Though he did well in general he did also kind of mess up badly in terms of water. Don't dry out your throat for more than a full day, what he did might have made him die of infection instead of through dehydration, due to throat injuries from sand. Why did he not look for water near plants??!! by far the easiest water supply in the desert, because desert plants tend to form groups or lines, where in the center, several meters below, you are almost guaranteed a water supply, and in the case of lines of plants, just follow them in either direction and look for the "newest" looking plants, or plants with fruit, dig there and you will always find water pour down of the soil into the hole. Also please don't eat unidentified desert fruits. My opinion might be wrong but it's just an opinion and some general common advice I know of.

@@patrickhackett7881Near the equator, Polaris is practically useless. It is on the horizon line, and incredibly hard to spot. With any sort of elevation gain in dunes, mountains, above sea level features, it would be hidden completely. In this location specifically, it would be a few notches up from the horizon line, where the sun sets, so more helpful than useless, but still likely extremely difficult to spot at night nonetheless. South of the Equator, Polaris can never be seen at any time of day, wherever you are. Thus, humans have navigated land and seas for centuries by way of more difficult calculations, using multiple stars in combination with each other, to determine direction. For exact due north, it would take 3 steps to determine, if this Italian guy knew that to begin with. I'm going to assume, everybody that lives most of their life north of the equator, either has no idea the North Star vanishes below this line, and also do not know which correct stars to use to determine direction. Remember that, Next time you're south of the line! (There's a great YT video on this)

Stories like this one were very common in Algeria before communication technology has developed. You can make heartbreaking movies of survival or fatal endings of these stories. When strong wind storms blow up they change the area geography and sand dunes mountains get displaced. Someone wouldn't recognize the area where he is. Also you can walk for days to end up in the same area where you started after making a circle of dozens of km in diameter. This happens because walking in the desert takes the form of a circle due to lack of landmarks to guide you and the difference between a right and left foot step length.

Take heed because his story was fabricated “Don’t listen to Mr. Prosperi, his story is a fabrication. He will have you believe he is Superman. It is physiologically impossible for a man to travel more than 200 kilometers in the desert without water. This is a supernatural act. It’s possible that he got genuinely lost for a few days. But all the rest rings false. We believe that early on he was picked up by someone. And then he decided to hide out for a while.[10] “He thought he could make a killing out of this if he prolonged his ordeal. He thought he could sell his story to the tabloids. He aspired to be the star of his own movie.” -Patrick Bauer on Men’s Journal

Battery last 3 days with GPS always on and without any power safe function, and more than a week with Expedition Mode (no display and less GPS tracking speed). If you turn it on only when you need, to see your position and direction, and then off again, it will last months. With one of those tools, 42 grams, you can be back home quickly and safely. So, great resistance, a great strong man, but for me too ill-equipped. 42 grams when you are lost in the wild are a very little weight, but an enormous help to find your way home.
