Before putting up the tent, you must survey the terrain carefully. There should be no rolling stones and weathered rocks above the camp. Once you find signs of scattered rocks nearby, never set up a tent again. Try to avoid camping in concave places. The camp should be close to the water source, which can not only ensure cooking and drinking water, but also provide washing water. If you stay away from the water source, it will bring a lot of inconvenience and even danger to the camp.

2. Don't camp in the area with frequent mudslides.

Many stones have traces of being wrapped in mud, which is the main sign to identify the occurrence of debris flow. Don't choose a camp that is too close to the debris flow passage.

3. Don't camp in floodplain, stream and valley areas during thunderstorm.

In case it is washed away by the sudden flood. Many times, the camp will be chosen on the ridge or on both sides of the river to enjoy the scenery. This is an ideal camping site, but if it rains cats and dogs, the water in the valley is likely to suddenly surge and wash away hiking shoes, food and so on. There are even people washed away by the current.

Be sure to pay attention to the local climate and water conditions before camping in the wild.

When camping, choose a well-drained place, not a rain path, which is convenient for escape routes when there is danger. When all the dust settles, always pay attention to the flow and turbidity of the water source and the sound of running water. Late at night or when you are tired, it is the main cause of disaster. Don't be careless in observation.

There should be shelter in the camp.

The wind will quickly take away the heat of the human body and create cold for people. At the same time, the strong wind will take away the tent, which will not only disturb the rest, but also increase the difficulty of lighting the bonfire. Cooking and heating are also difficult to guarantee, and the camp must be sheltered from the wind. It is best to be in the lee of hills, in open spaces or forest edges, in caves, on the sides of ridges and under rocks, and so on.

6. Observe whether there are animal footprints, feces and nests around the camp.

Don't build in places where snakes are infested, in case of injury or damage to equipment and facilities. There should be drugs and protective measures to repel mosquitoes, insects and scorpions. Scattering some plant ash around the camp will be very effective in preventing the invasion of snakes, scorpions and poisonous insects.

7. Try to choose a place with long sunshine time.

This will make the camp warmer, drier and cleaner, and make it easier to dry clothes, goods and equipment.

8. The ground of the camp should be flat.

Don't store roots, grass roots and sharp stones, and don't bump or slope, which will damage the equipment or stab people, and also affect the rest quality of people.
