A good destination and an exciting action plan can turn a good camping experience into a good camping experience. It is necessary to imagine as many situations as possible that you will face in the wild so as to prepare the corresponding skills and equipment to ensure the safety of life in the wild and achieve the desired results. Because the outdoor climate is complex and changeable, especially in mountainous areas, the severe conditions of wind and rain come suddenly. If you use those camping tools with low price and poor wind and rain resistance, you will be exposed and have no camp, and you will be in a mess.

It may even cause dangerous situations. Therefore, how you equip yourself before setting off largely determines the success of camping.

1. Tent: It is best to choose a double-layer tent with stable structure, light weight, strong wind and rain resistance.

2. Sleeping bag: Down or goose down sleeping bags are light and have good warmth retention effect, but they must be kept dry. When the environmental conditions are relatively humid, artificial vacuum cotton sleeping bags may be a better choice.

3. Backpack: The secret of carrying weight with a backpack is that it distributes most of the weight on the hips. The backpack structure should fit your body structure and have a strong and comfortable waist belt.

4. Fire-making utensils: lighter, matches, candles, magnifying glass. Among them, candles can be used as light sources and are excellent combustion aids.

5. Picnic utensils: kettle, multi-functional picnic pot, sharp multi-functional folding knife, and tableware.

6. Special tools: compass, map, rope, folding shovel, flashlight, needle and thread, fish hook and line, machete, camera.

7. Water and food: high-calorie meat, sugars, fats, and don’t forget to bring salt.

8. Life-saving kit: antidote, disinfectant powder, cold medicine, diarrhea medicine, Yunnan Baiyao, analgesics, gauze, tape, bandage.

How to find a suitable camping site?

For a pleasant and peaceful camping experience, choose your campsite carefully, even if you are very tired.

1. Choose a place with good drainage and try to avoid places with traces of water flow or water accumulation.

2. Choose a place that is sheltered from the wind. This depends on how the surrounding plants grow and the terrain. If you find that the branches and leaves of trees are leaning to one side, or the terrain forms a ridge, there must be a strong wind blowing.

3. Try to choose a place that is flat, sunny, and close to water. Of course, the good landscape should also be taken into consideration.

4. Riverside campsites and valley campsites are very dangerous when encountering surging rivers or mountain torrents, so you should choose places with relatively high terrain.

5. Try to avoid cliffs or slopes where sand and soil loss may occur, and avoid falling rocks or landslides.

6. When it thunders in the mountains, do not set up tents near protruding rocks and avoid isolated tall trees.

7. Moisture easily gathers on the flat land on the mountainside, and the mountain mouth leading to the water source is often the only way for wild animals to drink water. Therefore, these areas should be avoided when choosing a campsite.

Through the above understanding of what we need to prepare for camping, we must pay special attention to it in our lives. Of course, the most important thing is not only to choose the right campsite, but also to prepare some survival tools. When encountering danger, ask for help from local residents in time and don't delay the best rescue time.
