Camping is a short time outdoor lifestyle.
Outdoor camping can involve a lot of problems.
What are the precautions for the first outdoor camping trip?
1. Equipment practical principle
Since you go camping, tents, sleeping bags, and mats are indispensable.
Headlamps and hygiene products and even a compressed water bucket are necessary.
Since camping will require picnics, gas cans, stoves, and simple aluminum pots and pans are also indispensable.
As for other equipment such as hiking shoes, waterproof rashers, trekking poles, and snow cover, although it is important to prepare for hiking.
It is not necessarily necessary for camping.
Because you are going to camp, not to explore.
You can drive the car to a grass dam or forest clearing to set up camp.
There is no need to dress up as a snow climber or cave explorer.
2. Camping environment selection
The first time you camp, it is best to have an experienced partner along in order to guide you on how to choose a safe and comfortable camp.
For example, many people on their first trip, often choose to set up their tents on the clean river lawn.
Although listening to the sound of running water is a very romantic thing, this is very dangerous!
In fact, there have been many tragedies in recent years where camping tents have been swept away by sudden flash floods.
It is also not advisable to set up your tent under a cliff in order to escape from the storm.
There is a risk of landslides after the rains. It is also not advisable to isolate your tent on a raised plateau because of the possibility of being struck by lightning during a thunderstorm.
In addition, it is advisable to spray the perimeter of the camp in summer with sulfur powder or insecticide to prevent poisonous insects from attacking.
Shoes and other containers placed around the tent when you get up early in the morning should also be carefully checked to prevent insects and snakes from hiding in the cold.
3. Food and water
Try to bring your own water when you go out camping.
If you have no choice but to choose a clean water source and boil it or even precipitate it and boil it for drinking.
Don't think that the clean water must be from nature when you see the spring flowing down from the cliff.
You may climb up the cliff and see animal droppings and even sewage from the vegetable fields reclaimed by the mountain people everywhere by the water!
Don't pick wild vegetables and fruits that you don't know, and don't pick wild mushrooms.
Know that even native mountain people, picking wild mushrooms can not be distinguished.
There is no chance of remedy for such mistakes.
You must also have considerable experience in picking wild vegetables, especially wild celery, which is most likely to be confused with poisonous celery.
Don't try it without being very sure.
4. Protect the environment
Avoid digging and shoveling as much as possible in the campground.
Try not to use tools such as hoes to destroy nature in its native state.
Do not pick wildflowers when you see them, but leave them for others to enjoy.
The wildflowers are a public resource and do not belong to you alone.
Once you've mastered these camping tips, pack your bags and go on a date with nature.
