Being stranded in the middle of the Sahara Desert or on top of Mount Everest?

(2) Desert: you have 3 bottles of water, 4 days supply of food and a compass.

Should've also added an oxygen balloon supply to scenario 1 because no one can make it past the top to the bottom of Everest without losing consciousness due to oxygen loss.

Since you can actually do something to help warm you up if it is cold then I would choose Mount Everest but due to the equipment you provided for the Sahara Desert it is a much better choice. If I rationed I could make the 4 days worth of food last a lot longer as I usually do not eat that much anyway. And the compass would allow me to make it back to civilization much easier than just using the sun. It seems to be a much better choice to be trapped in a desert with food and a way to find your way out than to be stranded on top of a mountain with nothing to eat and no way to keep yourself warm after you have exhausted your 10 matches.

Desert. Would you get saved in both scenarios? If not then Desert would give you a likelier chance. Many people have actually died trying to look for people stuck in Mt. Everest.

Sahara, I can easily consume desert animals like snakes, lizards and foxes. Water is a problem but jucy beetles can take care of that. With a compass I can find nomadic tribesmen who can help me. I can speak at least one of the languages found in those regions

I don't mind warm climates, I am used to the heat at least to some degree.

in mount everest i would have a lot of difficulty to breath , the frost would have an rapid impact on my lungs and instant death probably.

Sahara sounds better, at least there are changes in the atmosphere from day to night.

I have a better chance in the desert. I have 6 days of water if I pee after everytime I drink water i can drnk my pee. I rather have that supply of water over anything.
