Another thing...if it's a hot desert, the physical bulk of the craft itself can help you in two ways.

One, just sitting on or in it will get you up off the ground a bit. Air temperature within a half meter of the ground is often several K higher than at a meter or more. So if you can get up a bit, it reduces heat load on the body, which has all kinds of benefits, obviously.

Two, if you can lever it up a bit, or dig under it, it can provide shade and partial weather shelter. Getting out of direct sunlight increases your survival odds a great deal; it reduces heat load and the risk of sunburn.
