Outdoor camping can not only release the pressure in life, and relieve the mood, but also improve the function of breathing and heart and lungs. So what are the tips for outdoor camping? Today, after learning, I will share some knowledge about outdoor camping with you, and I hope it will be helpful to you.
Precautions for camping site selection:
1.Near the water
Camping rest is inseparable from water, and proximity to water is the first element in choosing a campsite. Therefore, when choosing a campsite, you should choose a place close to streams, lakes, and rivers. However, camps cannot be set up on the river beach. Some rivers have power plants upstream. During the water storage period, the river beach is wide and the water flow is small. Once the water is released, the river beach will be full. Including some streams, usually small, once there is heavy rain, there may be floods or flash floods. We must pay attention to prevent such problems, especially in the rainy season and areas where flash floods are prone to occur.
2.Leeward
When camping in the wild, you must consider the leeward issue, especially in some valleys and river beaches, you should choose a leeward place to camp. Also, pay attention to the orientation of the tent door not to face the wind. Choosing a leeward location also considers the safety and convenience of using fire.
3.Stay away from cliffs
When camping, you can’t set up your camp under a cliff, which is very dangerous. If there is a strong wind, it is possible to blow stones and other objects down, causing casualties.
4.Near the village
If the camp is close to the village, you can ask the villagers for help in case of emergency, which is even more important when there is no firewood, vegetables, or food. Being close to the village is also a shortcut, that is, close to the road, which is convenient for the movement and transfer of the team.
5.Shade
If it is a camp that needs to live for more than two days, you should choose a shady place to camp in good weather. For example, under a big tree and on the north side of a mountain, it is best to shine toward the sun rather than at sunset. In this way, if you rest during the day, the tent will not be too stuffy.
6.Lightning protection
During the rainy season or in areas with many thunderstorms, camps must not be set up on high ground, under tall trees, or on relatively isolated flat ground. It’s easy to get struck by lightning that way.
Safety tips for wild camping:
1.Do not eat wild fruits and vegetables unless you know them.
2.Try not to start a wildfire unless you are wet and cold, especially where there is dense vegetation. If you must light a fire, use it safely.
3.Don’t try to irritate aggressive animals and don’t drive tame animals into corners. Don’t pick up cubs that are waiting to be fed.
4.Carry a sharp knife, it can let you get out of the tent quickly when the crisis comes.
5.Bury your poop to get rid of the stench and flies.
