WE CAN NEVER RELAX!

The wind and the sand keep pursing us, we must have a system to cover every piece of equipment.
We live barricaded.
Even though, our day at camp is normal between preparing the water resupplies for the next day, taking care of the materials for the video and photographs. The climate is relaxed due to the fact that Renato was organizing a small show in the desert, with the help of Oscar, Daniele and the Egyptian companions.
The try-outs were already done, we were ready to shoot the scene.
About 4:30 pm, the unforeseen: the telephone rang. It was Carla telling us they had arrived at the third water resupply. Until then everything was good, but not the news that followed, informing us that, unfortunately, because of the wind, Fabio’s tent had flown away. We are immediately activated and we left with the off-roaders to give them another tent. Nothing to do; after searching the desert many times, without luck, we finally found Carla and Fabio to give them the tent. This is also a Ferrino tent, but it was in our base camp and it is not very light like the others made for Fabio and Carla. This means that Fabio in the next days must carry more weight on his back. On the way back we looked around the area, but it is like trying a needle in a haystack...the tent can’t be found. Everything is good at the end. We returned to the camp just when night fell and we promised will try in the next days to shoot the scene of the show to watch once back in Milan.
