Pay attention to the details of choosing a campsite

There are many reference factors for choosing a camp, and safety is the most important consideration. You may not be able to judge all the potential dangers or shortcomings of a certain place for a while. In order to give yourself the best chance, you should reserve plenty of time to find the camp before dark, and rather spend more time investigating the place. Take the twilight time as the standard, and calculate the timetable forward; before dark, tents or shelters must be set up, dinner must be ready, and an hour must be reserved to settle everything and adapt to the surrounding environment, and then It will take at least another hour to survey the camp. Therefore, if it is dark at six o'clock in the afternoon, you must start thinking about camping at three o'clock in the afternoon, and you should stop walking at four o'clock in the afternoon and actively look for a suitable camp.
The following factors should be considered when choosing a campsite:
Prevailing wind
Try to find the direction of the wind so that the opening of the tent is set leeward and the pit is dug leeward. Pay attention to the location of the fire, so as not to keep the smoke from blowing towards the tent.
forest
Although camping next to the woods, you can pick up fuelwood or collect materials for sheltering nearby, but you must be aware that dead wood may fall and hit the tent, and there may also be dangerous animals hidden in the woods.
River bank
Avoid choosing the side river bank as a campsite, because the terrain on the inner side is usually low, and the water flow on the inner side of the river bank is slow, and the sediment is easy to silt up and cause flooding.
The danger of landslides
If you are camping near mountainous areas, do not camp on paths where landslides or rockfalls may occur. In addition, the snowmelt in the spring may also tilt down from the mountain, causing flooding.
Fetch water
Fetch water to the upper reaches of the camp, and above it than animal water.
washing dishes
The tableware is cleaned in the middle of the river, between the upstream of the water intake and the downstream of the laundry. Before rinsing with river water, wipe off food residues with sand or cloth to avoid contaminating the river water or attracting animals to the door. Do not use detergent to avoid accidental injury to aquatic organisms.
tent
It is advisable for the camping place not to hear the sound of the water, because the sound of the water will cover the sound of the animals. Make sure that the opening of the tent will not face the air outlet and the pit.
fire
The smoke from the fire can drive insects away from the tent, but the fire should not be too close to the tent to prevent the tent from catching fire.
The ideal campsite should be sheltered by trees, but there is no danger of dead trees collapsing to the tent; it should be close to the water source, but not flooded, and if there are signs of animals drinking water nearby, it should also be avoided. It is best to choose the campsite on the side of the valley, not the bottom; the ground should be flat and well-drained, and avoid the prevailing wind
