The direct answer

A technique that works in temperate woods can kill you in the desert or on sea ice. Climate is not flavor text — it reorders water, heat, movement, and shelter. Jungle rot and flash floods are not arctic problems. Mirage and dry wadis are not jungle problems.

Read the place before you copy a generic kit. Desert: travel in the cool hours, ration sweat not only water, and treat every shiny horizon as a lie until proven. Jungle: elevation for camp, insect load, and routes that do not drown at dusk. Arctic: insulation, overexertion sweat, and ice that is a road until it is not.

What the environment changes first

If you only remember one shift per climate, make it this.

Desert
Sweat and shade beat heroic noon marches. Mirage is not a lake.
Jungle
Camp above the flood line. Insects and rot are the slow killers.
Arctic
Stay dry. Sweat in the layers is a hypothermia plan.
Sea / ice
The raft is shelter and the landing is the hard part.
Urban
Movement and blending beat bushcraft until you are out.
