So... they start out with water and run out? Or they're gambling that they can make it...
Is this for a story? If so, I may be able to find some information that would at least give you a place to start.

Apparently all the stuff is glued together. You'll need to heat the phone up to a temperature which melts the glue, but doesn't damage it. And if the glue isn't melted enough, you might just rip the phone apart when you try to remove the glass.
That's what I know from reading, I have absolutely no XP myself.
Yeah, but I'm not looking for precision. Just how generally profitable a waterless trade route over 80 miles would be.
They're intending to trade at the other end, so they clearly have to be alive for that.
Now that you ask... yes. Don't know much about desert travel.

Assuming good health and proper attire, a gallon per person per day is minimum for that distance in desert conditions.
But this would be at a forced march through uncomfortable terrain (walking on sand is more intense than walking on dirt or a flat surface). In the Mojave they recommend a liter per hour (gallon every ~4 hours) if you're hiking all day, the same standards if you're a firefighter.

I consume 3/4 of a liter of water per hour when hiking around here, but I expect I'd want to drink substantially more if it were a desert.

Yeah that's what I'm getting too. I don't think I've got the patience for that gig. I'll probably just break something. Haven't decided if I'm paying a workshop to fix it or getting a new one. It'll be pricey either way. Annoying but what are you gonna do..

Starbucks banned straws recently, though I don't remember the extent of the ban (local, national, etc.)

Just Starbucks?
And is "ban" really the correct word to use in that regard? Not, "they decided to quit straws"?

I mean, if you spend any amount of time working at a job that entails litter removal...yes they are the worst.
Strike that - plastic bags and those plastic cup tops are the worst (especially if they get sun-warped). Straws and cigarette butts are a close second though.

Some states and the UK want to phase out and/or ban them altogether. possibly other placeds too, i can't really remember, found the news articles boring so i can't remember most of it.

For real?
It makes good sense if you take into account how we're really using up petroleum for one-use convenience items that give no real benefit and we are just turning our oceans into landfill (while at the same time, incidentally, using up so much sand for construction projects that it's now worth smuggling). Some people need a challenge to their ‘common sense’.

Apparently Recycling them is too much trouble and biodegradable ones are unsanitary!
