The indoor high temperature in summer, camping in the wild is the choice of many outdoor enthusiasts, so what should you pay attention to in summer camping? Today I have compiled some related summer camping tips for everyone, I hope it will be helpful to everyone. 1. Before setting up a tent, you must carefully survey the terrain. There should be no rolling stones, rolling logs and those weathered rocks above the camp. Once you find signs of scattered rocks nearby, you must not set up a tent, especially the closer the rock wall is. Be careful and try to avoid camping in concave places. 2. Do not camp on the top of a mountain or open ground during thunderstorms to avoid being struck by lightning. Do not set up camps on river beaches, riverbeds, streams and valleys during thunderstorms to prevent sudden floods from being washed away. Choose a campsite with good drainage, such as sand, grass, or cuttings. 3. Don’t build camps in mudslide-prone areas. Many stones have traces of being wrapped in soil, which is the main sign to identify the occurrence of mudslides. Don’t choose the campsite too close to the mudslide channel. 4. Tents should be set up on hard, flat ground as much as possible, and camps should not be set up on river banks and dry river beds. The entrance of the tent should be leeward, and the tent should be far away from the hillside with rolling rocks. It is best to face the tent to the south or southeast to see the morning sun. Try not to place the camp on ridges or mountain tops. 5. To avoid flooding the tent when it rains, a drainage ditch should be dug directly below the edge of the roof. The four corners of the tent should be held down with big rocks. 6. Keep air circulation in the tent, and prevent fire when cooking in the tent. Before going to bed at night, check whether all the flames have been extinguished and whether the tent is firmly fixed. 7. The wind will quickly take away the heat from the human body, make people cold, and even cause diseases. At the same time, the strong wind will sweep away the tent, at least it will disturb the people to rest. It is more difficult to light a campfire, and it is difficult to guarantee cooking and heating. The camp must be sheltered from the wind. It is best to be on the leeward side of small hills, between forests or clearings near forests, caves, sides of ridges and under rocks, etc. 8. Before camping in the wild during the rainy season, you must pay attention to the climate and hydrology of the campsite and the upper reaches of the river. When camping, pay attention to setting up a tent on the high ground a few meters above the water surface. Do not choose rainwater channels, but choose well-drained ones. Place, and choose a path that can be used to escape in danger. When everything is settled, you need to always pay attention to the flow and turbidity of the water source, as well as the sound of running water. Once you feel abnormal, you must run away. Late at night or when you are tired are the main causes of disasters. Don’t be careless or inattentive. 9. When building a camp, carefully observe whether there are beasts’ footprints, dung, and nests around the camp. Do not build in a snake and rat area to prevent injury or damage to equipment. There must be anti-mosquito, insect, and scorpion drugs and protective measures. Sprinkling some plant ash around the camp will be very effective in preventing the infestation of snakes, scorpions, and poisonous insects. To prevent insects from entering, sprinkle a circle of kerosene around the tent. 10. The ground of the campsite should be level. There should be no tree roots, grass roots and sharp stones, and there should be no bumps or slopes. This will damage the equipment or stabbing personnel, and will also affect the quality of personnel’s rest.
