What should I pay attention to when camping?
First, the direction.
Collect maps and related materials of the activity area as much as possible before traveling, and make a preliminary understanding of the upcoming big turn and obvious signs. With the contour map, we can analyze the predetermined route and direction, such as: how many ridges need to be crossed, how many gates need to be crossed, and the approximate elevation rise and fall. This helps to determine the direction in the journey.
Second, the waterproof problem.
In rainy season or rainy area, especially when crossing for a long time, if the waterproof preparation is not sufficient, the whole activity will encounter great trouble. Such as: there is no dry clothes to change, cameras, batteries, food and other items are wet and damaged. Therefore, before you go out, you should know something about the climate in the activity area and make corresponding preparations.
Three. Drinking Water
When crossing a short distance, if it is known that it is difficult to replenish water, bring enough drinking water, about 2 liters per person per day (if FB meal is not needed). When crossing a long distance, you can take water from streams, waterfalls, rivers and lakes on the way, but you must observe its pollution, such as whether there are human and animal activities near the water source, whether there are animal carcasses, and whether there are pollutants such as feces. When there is a lot of sediment in the water, the water should settle for more than 10 minutes. In areas with many leeches, open or transparent containers should be used when taking water, so as to find out whether there are leeches in the water in time. Fourth, the problem of making a fire.
When traveling, you should carry more than one kind of fire source, such as lighters (various types), matches, irons, etc. If possible, it is best to carry a camping stove, gas tank or oil tank. When making a fire in the camp, we should pay attention to whether the camp is a no-fire area, otherwise it should not violate the rules except for survival needs. Before starting a fire, prepare some dry firewood (slightly thinner than chopsticks), put it at the bottom of a stove full of stones, put on coarse firewood, light the fine firewood, and blow it hard with your mouth, so that the fire can be blown up. When it rains or the firewood is wet, you can split the coarse firewood from the middle to get dry firewood, and then cut it into small pieces to make kindling (a machete or other tools are needed at this time).
Verb (abbreviation of verb) camping problem
Find a safe, hidden, dry and flat place to camp. At this time, we should pay attention to the surrounding environment, such as whether there are falling rocks and rolling stones, how the wind blows, and whether there are nests and beehives for animals. Try not to camp by the river, and the water level will not change unless it is determined that it is a dry season. Don't camp near the water, there are many mosquitoes there.
VI. Wildlife
When traveling abroad, you should prepare medicines such as cool oil, essential balm and safflower oil. Leggings can effectively prevent leeches, snakes and other creatures from attacking the legs. Snake medicine can be prepared in places with many poisonous snakes.
Seven, nutritional supplements
Long-term field crossing, physical exertion, sweating, human body is prone to salt deficiency, electrolyte imbalance, malnutrition and other phenomena, which will seriously affect physical strength and health, and sometimes even be dangerous. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement it in time. Eight, keep warm.
In many areas (such as deserts and mountainous areas), the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large. In some areas, there will be a relatively large temperature difference after crossing the sea level for a few hours (the sea level will rise and the temperature will drop, -6 degrees/vertical 1000M). It is necessary to keep warm, especially after sweating a lot and before going to bed.
Nine. Other related issues
1) Climbing and descending Unless absolutely necessary, instead of trying dangerous climbing and descending, it is better to take more detours, especially when crossing alone and carrying loads. If it is necessary to climb down, first unload the backpack, climb down empty-handed, and then hang the equipment with auxiliary ropes or belts.
2) balance when passing through danger (such as single-plank bridge, wading, cliff edge, etc.). ), you should remember to loosen the chest strap and belt of your backpack to ensure that it can be unloaded quickly and in time, so that you can protect the car in case you lose it.
3) Don't risk walking at night except in special areas (such as desert). Many people get lost in poor visibility and slip easily at night. When you have to walk at night, you'd better have headlights. A flashlight will occupy one hand, which is not conducive to balanced protection.
4) When wading under unknown water depth and underwater conditions, don't wade rashly first, but try your best to find out. Try not to wade barefoot with sandals, because it is easy to slip and get hurt, and be careful of the stones in the water. They are often so smooth that they will slip if they are not careful. In addition, the water velocity should be fully estimated before wading.
5) All visible garbage left should be taken away. Long-distance crossing should take at least non-degradable garbage until there is a unified garbage dump. Therefore, garbage bags must be brought.
How to equip yourself largely determines the success or failure of camping activities. The following items are essential. Here, it is necessary to remind people who take part in camping activities for the first time that it is not a good goal and exciting action plan that can turn into a beautiful camping life. Be sure to imagine all kinds of situations you will face in the wild as much as possible, and prepare corresponding skills and equipment to ensure the safety of wild life and achieve the expected results. Due to the complex and changeable climate in the wild, especially in mountainous areas, the harsh situation of wind and rain is sudden. If you use camping tools with poor price and poor weather resistance, it will be exposed, embarrassing and even dangerous. So how to equip yourself before departure largely determines the success or failure of camping.

Collapse.
6. When it thunders on the mountain, don't camp where the rocks stand out.
