What are the precautions for outdoor mountaineering?

There are many backpackers in daily life, and they all like to climb mountains outdoors. In urban life, we always feel very stressed. Appropriate relaxation can help us relieve stress and improve our future work or study efficiency. Of course, in the process of climbing, we must pay attention to our own safety. So what are the precautions for outdoor climbing? Let’s take a look together.

1. Try to set up your tent on hard, flat ground.

2. Do not camp on river banks or dry river beds.

3. The entrance of the tent should be sheltered from the wind, which is also a consideration for fire safety and convenience.

4. When setting up camp, do not set up the camp under a cliff. This is very dangerous. Once a strong wind blows on the mountain, rocks and other objects may be blown down, causing casualties.

5. To prevent the tent from being flooded when it rains, a drainage ditch should be dug just below the edge of the tent roof.

6. Use large stones to press down the four corners of the tent.

7. Keep the air circulating in the tent and prevent fire when cooking in the tent.

8. Before going to bed, check that all flames are extinguished and that the tent is securely fastened.

9. If the camp is close to a village, you can ask the villagers for help in case of emergency. This is especially important when there is no firewood, vegetables, food, etc. It is close to the village and also a shortcut, that is, close to the road, which facilitates the team's movement and transfer.

10. If the camp needs to be stayed for more than two days, you should choose a shady place to camp under good weather conditions, such as under a tree or on the north side of a mountain. It is best to camp in the morning sun rather than the setting sun. This way, if you rest during the day, the tent won't be too stuffy.

11. During the rainy season or in areas with frequent thunderstorms, the camp must not be set up on high ground, under tall trees, or on relatively isolated flat ground. That would easily lead to being struck by lightning.

12. Site division: A complete camping site should be divided into tent camping area, fire area, dining area, entertainment area, water area (washing area), sanitary area and other areas. The fire area should be in the leeward direction.

13. Construction of tent camping area: If there is a tent camping area consisting of several tents, when arranging the tents, you should pay attention to the following: First, all tents should face the same direction, that is, the tent doors should open in one direction and be arranged side by side. Second, the distance between tents should be no less than 1 meter, and try not to tie the wind ropes of the tents unless necessary to avoid tripping people. 3. If necessary, a cordon (ditch) should be set up. You can use lime, tar and other irritating substances to draw a circle around the tent area outside the tent area to prevent the invasion of snakes and other reptiles.

14. Build a fire-using dining area: Dining and fire are usually done together or in a nearby place. This area should be at a certain distance from the tent area to prevent sparks from burning the tent. The best place to cook is somewhere with earthen or stone embankments so that you can dig and build a stove. The firewood you pick up should be piled outside the area or in a upwind place. It is best to have a grassy area in the dining area for everyone to sit around, and the "dining table" can be a large flat stone or just on the ground. The lamp should be placed in a position where it can illuminate a larger area.

15. Construct water intake areas: Water use and water intake are generally at the water source. Washing water and drinking water should be separated. If it is flowing water, drinking water should be at the upstream and washing and living water at the downstream.

16. Build a sanitary area: The sanitary area is where the team members go to the bathroom. If you are only staying for one night, there is no need to dig a special pit toilet. You can just designate areas for men and women to relieve themselves. If there are many team members or the accommodation is more than two days, a pit toilet should be dug.

17. Build an entertainment area: The entertainment area can be set up in the dining area and cleaned up after dining. If the venue is large, you can also set aside a separate area as long as the venue is flat.

The above is a detailed answer to the precautions for outdoor mountaineering. Mountaineering is a very leisure activity. Along the way, we can see beautiful scenery and enjoy the fun of mountaineering. However, during the mountaineering process, we must pay attention to our own life safety. As the saying goes, safety first, so safety must be the premise.
