The choice of camping sites is becoming more and more popular in daily life. After work, many people like to go outside to enjoy the scenery and breathe fresh air. Although camping is good, there are many important things to pay attention to. Learn some skills to avoid detours when camping in the wild. The following are some choices of camping sites, which I hope will help you.
Selection of field campsite 1 Choose flat land to build camp.
First of all, the location of the camp is very important. Try to choose a flat land as a camp. In this way, people will be much more comfortable when they move and sleep. When camping in the wild, it is usually difficult to find flat land. At this time, we have to think of something else. For example, if you meet a camp with many potholes and stones, you have to spend some time cleaning up the stones. If there are many weeds around, you can cut some straw mats under the tent. Doing so can not only prevent the tent from being scratched by sharp stones, but also improve the comfort of sleeping. After all, the straw mat behind is still very soft.
If there is no very flat ground, you can only choose a slope. The so-called slope here is the kind that is slightly inclined. You can sleep with your head up, which is barely acceptable.
Camping by the lake
Where should I choose for camping in the wild?
After camping in the wild has found an ideal camp, where should this camp be located? Unless we have no choice, we should avoid setting up camps in these places.
1, streams and rivers, which are prone to sudden rise of water level due to flash floods in the upper reaches. When setting up tents in streams and rivers, stay away from water sources. You can observe the vegetation and traces of driftwood or garbage washed away by water on both sides of the river. These can well reflect the situation of the highest water level. Try to stay away from the highest water level when setting up a tent.
2. Avoid camping in the basin. Sometimes it happens to be surrounded by mountains with a basin in the middle. This place is prone to fog and humidity. Of course, safety is no problem. The comfort is poor, and the equipment is easy to get wet. After all, there is too much water.
The top of the mountain is a good camping camp. The top of the mountain is convenient for observing the sea of clouds and sunrise. It can keep dry enough without the interference of fog. The only drawback is that the wind is too strong. If you camp in the mountains, remember to tie the wind rope. When camping in the mountains, look around to see if there are any trees that have been struck by lightning. You should try to stay away from those big trees. If you have been to Wugong Mountain, you will find that many trees on the top of the mountain will be struck by lightning when they grow tall. Lightning struck the tree!
4. avoid being too close to the road. Sometimes when traveling, you can't find a suitable camp, so you can only choose to camp on the side of the road. At this time, it is necessary to avoid being too close to the road and avoid accidentally rushing out of passing vehicles. You can choose a green belt or service area far from the road.
5, too close to the sea. If you don't know the tide, you may be washed away by the high tide if you set up a tent at the seaside at will. When camping by the sea, be sure to stay away from the sea. It's windy, remember to tie the wind rope.
Choose field camp 2 1, near the water source.
The camp should be located near the water source to ensure the water for cooking and drinking, and also provide washing water. However, in the deep mountains and forests, you will encounter wild animals near the water source, so be extra careful.
Step 2 be downwind
It is best to be in the lee of hills, in open spaces or on the edge of forests, in caves, on the edge of ridges and under rocks, and so on.
Step 3 hedge
There should be no rolling stones and rolling logs above the camp. Do not camp in places with frequent mudslides. Do not camp at the top of the mountain or in open areas in thunderstorm weather to avoid being struck by lightning.
Step 4 prevent animals
When building a camp, carefully observe whether there are footprints, feces and nests of wild animals around the camp. Don't build it in the place where snakes and rats haunt, so as not to hurt people or damage 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.
5. sunshine
Try to choose a place with long sunshine time, which will make the camp warmer, drier and cleaner. It is convenient to dry clothes, articles and equipment.
6. Steady state
The ground of the camp should be flat, without roots, grass roots, sharp stones, bumps or slopes, so as not to damage the equipment or stab people, and also affect the rest quality of people.
Selection of camping site 3 The first step in camping in the wild is to choose a good camping site. If the camping place is not chosen properly, it will not only bring a lot of trouble to build a rest place, but also bring inconvenience to the life in camping and pose a certain threat to personal safety. Therefore, it is particularly important to choose a good camping site when camping in the wild.
I. Principles and methods of camp selection
When choosing a campsite, the principles and selection methods are different due to different cities, environments and seasons, but basically, the campsite can be selected according to four principles: water supply, flat campsite, cool and away from danger. Specifically, you can choose according to the following methods.
(1) Choose a high place to camp.
Camping sites should be relatively high, dry and well ventilated, and places with less mosquitoes should be considered in summer. Try to avoid camping in concave areas, especially in rainy season. Don't camp in floodplains, riverbeds, streams and valleys, because these places are generally wet and may be attacked by floods. If the camp is near a stream, you should pay attention to setting up tents at least a few meters above the water surface, where there is good drainage conditions, and choose an escape route in advance to prevent danger. Usually, if many stones are found to be wrapped in mud, this 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.
(2) Choose to camp under the shade of Phoenix.
When camping in the wild, it doesn't seem to be a big problem, but whether you can have a good rest and sleep and ensure that you can keep your energy and continue your exploration activities the next day is a big problem. Especially in some valleys and beaches, you should choose a leeward place to camp, and the sliding door of the tent should not be windward. Camping in the leeward also takes into account the safety and convenience of using fire in the wild. How do you know that the tent mouth is leeward? It's very simple, that is, catch-raise the sand or snow in your hand. If not, use a small cloth instead. The direction of the tent mouth facing sand or snow is downwind.
If you need to stay in a camp for more than two days, you should choose a cool place to camp when the weather is good, such as under a big tree and to the north of the mountain. It's better to sunbathe in the morning than at night. If you rest during the day, the tent will not be too hot. Another way is to determine the direction to the east first. We know that the sun rises in the east. Choose a ridge or a big tree in front of the tent in the east to block the sunrise so that you can continue to sleep well in the morning.
(3) Choose a clean place to camp.
If there are a lot of rotten wood and leaves on the ground, scorpions and centipedes are likely to be poisoned inside. When there is no more choice, we should try to clean the ground. Don't camp near the ant nest, choose a place with dry and ventilated ground and less mosquitoes. The breeze in the campsite can be used to prevent mosquitoes, flies and insects from approaching.
(4) Choose a place where there is no danger of falling rocks.
When choosing a camp, you must carefully observe the terrain and surrounding conditions. There should be no rolling stones, branches hanging from rolling logs and weathered rocks above the camp. Once there are signs of scattered rocks nearby, you can't set up tents, especially the closer you are to the rock wall. Stay away from steep slopes to prevent stones from rolling down. In snowy areas, we should also avoid places where avalanches may occur.
(5) Don't block the passage of wild animals.
Many wild animals' paths are relatively fixed, especially to the places they often go. If there is a water source nearby, and this water source is the only drinking water here, then don't put the camp near the water source, let alone block the only passage for animals to drink water. Animals depend on water as much as food. Even if there are no poisonous snakes and large carnivores passing by, herbivores may trample on our temporary homes.
(6) Don't camp under the waterfall.
There is a lot of moisture under and near the waterfall, which will slowly wet the clothes. The thermal conductivity of water is relatively strong, the warmth retention of wet clothes will be greatly reduced, and it is also very uncomfortable to wear.
Waterfalls also make a lot of noise, which makes people fidgety and aggravates the already fragile psychological burden in dangerous areas. More importantly, the noise makes it impossible for us to hear the cries of rescuers, ignore passing planes and occasional pedestrians, and even fail to detect the approach of wild animals.
(7) Don't live under an isolated tree.
The isolated tree is likely to be the target of lightning, and living under it is likely to be the indirect victim of lightning. In addition, tall and independent trees are often places where wild animals leave smells, especially fierce animals with strong territorial consciousness.
(8) Don't stir up hornets' nests.
Bees are social insects with group behavior. Many wild stinging bees, such as wasps and wasps, are particularly powerful. Under normal circumstances, bees will not take the initiative to attack humans. However, if someone invades their territory or accidentally touches their hive, they are vulnerable to attack.
Many bees produce a volatile hormone after stinging people, and their companions will immediately come to reinforce them after receiving the message. Many people were stung black and blue in the wild and even poisoned to death because they offended one of them. You should observe carefully when camping. There are usually a few bees flying around the bee fruit, which is easy to find. Try not to be neighbors with them.
(9) Restless "home" in the depths of the jungle
Don't build tents or temporary shelters deep in the forest unless you can't or can't go to a more open place. The disadvantages of doing this are: it is easy to cause forest fires when igniting; Go out to find food, and you may not find "home" when you come back; There is no way to signal for advice; When the plane is searching, it is most difficult to find the target under the forest; When physical strength is exhausted (especially when the injured can only wait for rescuers), it is difficult or no one can find the target.
(10) Don't camp near the water source.
There are many biting insects such as mosquitoes, bugs and flies near the water source. Although most people don't care about being bitten by insects in extremely dangerous situations, it will disturb the sleep of explorers and affect the recovery of physical strength. It is worth noting that mosquitoes in the wild may spread infectious diseases such as forest encephalitis.
When choosing a camp, it should also be noted that in order to leave enough time for choosing a camp, it is generally necessary to start paying attention to the suitable camp location on the route every afternoon or arrive at the scheduled camping area city earlier to choose, and it is absolutely forbidden to start choosing a camp near dusk. Because, under normal circumstances, after a day's trek, it is difficult to have enough energy to choose a better camping site, and the chances of choosing become less and less with the arrival of the night.
