What should you pay attention to when camping outdoors

What should we pay attention to when camping in the wild? If we don't pay attention to some things when camping in the wild, then our camping is meaningless. In this way, camping in the wild will bring unpreventable harm to our bodies. When camping in the wild, we must first learn to choose a campsite, because not every place can be used to build a tent. When camping by ourselves, we must also choose the environment we like, preferably the environment we like. So what should we pay attention to when camping in the wild?

Choose a campsite

The first thing to consider is safety. In the wild, many accidents can happen. At lower altitudes the danger is much less, but the basic principles of campsite selection must still be followed.

1. Before setting up the tent, you must carefully survey the terrain. There must be no rolling stones, rolling logs, or weathered rocks above the campsite. Once you find signs of scattered rocks nearby, you must not set up the tent, especially when you are close to the rock wall, and try to avoid camping in concave places. If you find a rolling stone, you should shout loudly immediately to notify your companions.

2. Do not set up camp in areas prone to mudslides. Many stones show signs of being covered with mud, which is the main sign for identifying mudslides. Do not choose a campsite that is too close to a debris flow channel.

3. Do not camp on the top of a mountain or in an open area during a thunderstorm to avoid being struck by lightning.

4. Do not set up camp on river beaches, river beds, stream banks or in river valleys during thunderstorms to avoid being washed away by sudden floods.

Many times, the campsite is chosen on a mountain ridge or on the banks of a river to enjoy the scenery. The ideal camping places are terraces on the river bank or wide river banks. The sand is flat and dry, and there is clear water and driftwood that can be used as firewood beside the valley. When the weather is good, this is a very good camping site. However, if there is a heavy downpour, the water in the valley is likely to suddenly surge, submerging the riverbanks, washing away hiking shoes, food, etc., and even people being swept away by the current.

5. Before camping in the wild during the rainy season, you must pay attention to the climate and hydrological conditions of the local camping site and the upstream areas of the river. When camping, be sure to set up tents on high ground a few meters above the water surface. Do not choose rain channels. Choose places with good drainage and also choose escape routes in case of danger. When everything is settled, you still need to pay attention to the water flow, turbidity and sound of the water. If you feel anything unusual, run away quickly. Late at night or when you are tired are the main causes of disasters, so don't be careless or fail to observe carefully.

If you want to go camping, you must pay attention to these matters. These matters are to bring us a wonderful night. When you want to go camping in the wild, you must also make sure that you can build a beautiful tent. If you can set up the tent, you can spend the night easily. You must also pay attention to safety when camping in the wild, and bring everything you need in advance.
