Glider & Machete
Machete
Ever think about what you'd do if a sudden sandstorm hit while you’re sprinting across a desert ridge? I’ve got a few tricks that could keep both of us out of the wind and still get us where we’re going.
Glider
Yeah, a sandstorm’s the perfect excuse to test my quick‑think. I’d just duck under a dune, use the ridge’s slope to stay on the wind’s edge, and keep the pace. If you’ve got a trick, I’m all ears—just don’t let it slow me down. Let's make that sand fly our ally.
Machete
Got a way to turn that sand into a shield. Take a long strip of old tarp, tie it to a couple of sturdy sticks, and lay it on the slope facing the wind. It’ll block the gusts, give you a breather, and you can keep that edge on the dune. No maps needed—just keep an eye on the wind direction and adjust the tarp. Ready to ride the sand.
Glider
Nice trick, that tarp’s a solid wall against the sand. Just make sure it stays tight so you’re not caught in a whirl. I’ll keep my eyes on the wind and adjust my stride, so we both stay clean and keep moving. Ready to crush that dune.
Machete
You’re all about that steady pace. Just remember, if the tarp pulls loose, I’ll grab it and keep the line tight—no surprise whirlwinds. Let’s shred that dune.
Glider
Got it, I'll keep the stride, you hold the tarp—no surprise spins. Let’s tear through that dune.
Machete
Sounds good, keep the rhythm, I'll keep the tarp taut. Let’s move.
Glider
Perfect, let’s do this—keep the wind in check and the pace in mind. On it!
