Other than the fact that you can't expect any kind of assistance if something does go wrong, it won't be any harder. Take a reliable vehicle, fill it with supplies, and you should get there. Or go traditional: take a camel train. You could expect one or two camels to not make it, but if you take four you should still have enough supplies to make the journey even if the worst happens. | |

Even if you need to live in the ground (without a truck) it isn't so hard to hunt in semidesertic lands if you are the only hunters. Hunter gatherers have been living quite well in the Kalahary desert until recently. | |
