If you are curious why those friends who love the outdoors always talk about the fun of camping, or you always have trouble sleeping during camping or camping, so you have to sleep in the car in the parking lot, then you are very suitable to read this article. We believe that everyone can sleep in a tent and enjoy the feeling of being only a millimeter away from nature. Before that, you might as well read the following ten tips and put them into action.
1. Invest in good equipment
Obviously, if you reduce your equipment budget, you will have to pay a relative price. Just as you are willing to spend money to stay in a hotel, you should also be willing to invest in camping equipment. Tents, sleeping bags, and sleeping mats are all basic equipment that should be carefully considered. They can bring you a good night’s sleep.
The point is to choose the most suitable equipment within the affordable range. Inflatable sleeping pads provide the best combination of light weight and sleeping comfort. Down sleeping bags provide a higher warmth-to-weight ratio, but if in a humid environment, the synthetic fiber sleeping bag’s characteristic of being resistant to moisture can provide better warmth.
Under normal circumstances, a three-season tent is very useful. If you are camping on a rocky surface or in a hard surface environment, then the dome tent (self-supporting tent) is a good choice. The tunnel tent has a larger vestibule, which can provide more space to dry the equipment and a comfortable vestibule for cooking three meals when the weather is bad.
2. Keep the space in the sleeping bag
When the weather is cold, it is easy for us to cover the body with the clothes beside our hands, but if we cover too much clothes, there is no space between the body and the sleeping bag to preserve air, which will affect the insulation effect of the sleeping bag. Therefore, the best way is actually to cover the clothes on the sleeping bag instead of stuffing it in the sleeping bag.
3. Keep your body warm at bedtime
The function of a sleeping bag is to insulate and preserve temperature, not to generate heat, so don’t crawl into the sleeping bag coldly. You might as well do a jumping exercise or take a walk before going to bed to warm your body.
4. Give the water bottle a new task
When choosing a water bottle, make sure it can hold hot water. When sleeping, you can put hot water in the bottle and put it in a sleeping bag (remember to make sure that the bottle does not leak) to provide a source of body warmth and help you sleep well.
5. Determine the location of the toilet
Before going to bed, determine the location of the closest toilet or the area designated as the toilet. It is inconvenient to fumble for the toilet in the dark, in the cold, or in the rain. What’s worse is that there may be wild animals nearby. Also, remember to keep your headlight at hand so you don’t have to spend time groping in the dark. It’s a good idea to go to the toilet before going to bed!
6, go to bed late
Or as late as possible. I hope you will feel tired after a whole day of enjoyable outdoor activities, but if you don’t, you don’t need to force yourself to go to sleep after the sun goes down. If you go to bed too early, but in fact you are not that tired, you will just lie there all the time, start thinking about some things, keep turning your head, and then before you realize it, your sleep time is far longer than that.
7. Go to sleep by listening to music (confirm that you have a portable power bank)
In order to calm the mind and avoid the dazzling light of the headlights from disturbing the tent partners, you can use music to help you fall asleep. If you are easily nervous about the sound outside the tent, then this is an ideal way to listen to music and fall asleep peacefully.
8. Never forget earplugs
There will always be people snoring, tossing and turning, or getting up early in the morning. Using earplugs can help improve the quality of sleep.
9. Defeat the craving for supper
Because you are hiking all day, your metabolism is likely to be accelerated, which means you may wake up in the middle of the night and want to eat supper, put some comprehensive nuts or energy bars by your side! Note: If you camp in an area where other wild animals may be infested, please check the local regulations on food storage first.
10. Adjust the transom of the tent appropriately
The vents in the tent are for air circulation, and can reduce the possibility of condensation in the tent, but in fact the vents may bring some chills, adjust the vents appropriately but don’t open them too much.
