01 Try to pitch your tent on hard, flat ground instead of camping on river banks or dry river beds.
02 The entrance of the tent should be leeward, and the tent should be away from hillsides with rolling rocks.
03 To prevent the tent from being flooded when it rains, a drainage ditch should be dug directly under the edge of the tent roof.
04 The four corners of the tent should be pressed down with big rocks.
05 The air circulation should be maintained in the tent, and fire should be prevented when cooking in the tent.
06 Before going to bed at night, check whether all the fires have been extinguished and whether the tent is firmly fixed.
07 To prevent bugs from entering, sprinkle a circle of kerosene around the tent.
08 It is best for the tent to face south or southeast so that you can see the early morning sunshine. Try not to camp on the top of a ridge or mountain.
09 At least there should be a grooved ground and not placed next to a stream, so that it won’t be too cold at night.
10 Choose a campsite with good drainage such as sand, grass, or debris.
Secondly,
Put the map in an easy-to-hand place, such as a raincoat pocket or a backpack top pocket, and make it waterproof. If you wear glasses, please wear a baseball cap with a protruding front brim and then a rain cap to improve your vision. Wear rain gear immediately when it rains. Don't put it on just because the rain is light. If you get soaked in rain, it will be too late to put it on again! A two-section raincoat is suitable for rain gear, and rain pants can be supported by suspenders to prevent them from sliding down.
Rain gear should always be placed in a place that is easily accessible, such as the side pockets, top pockets or top of the main bag of the backpack. Short gaiters prevent rainwater from slipping through the trouser legs and into the interior of the hiking boots.
Recording in the rain is a chore. You can pack your notebook in a sealed plastic bag to prevent it from being waterproof. There is a notebook on the market that can prevent the paper from getting wet due to water or the ink level opening.
Be sure to remember that wet, exposed skin is far more insulating than skin covered with wet, cold cotton. No matter how much the backpack manufacturer boasts about its waterproofness, it is necessary to add a waterproof cover to the outside of the backpack. Clothes, sleeping bags, etc. in the backpack should be wrapped in waterproof bags or plastic bags. Hard-shell crisper boxes can be used to store fragile and essential moisture-resistant food, medicinal materials, films, matches and other sundries.
Some essential things needed:
Backpack, tent, sleeping bag, moisture-proof mat, stove, tableware, suitable clothing, rain gear, sunglasses, lighter, knife, headlamp, Survival whistle, compass (of course GPS is best), map, medicine, hygiene products, water, food, anti-mosquito supplies.
For first aid, bring band-aids, Yunnan Baiyao, gauze, snake medicine, Suxiao Jiuxin pills, Haodekuai spray, diarrhea medicine, allergy medicine, and personal special medicines. If you are going to a high altitude, you can bring diuretics, Dukesi and other medicines. You can take a small dose of aspirin before the trip, which can reduce blood viscosity. But the most important thing is to return to a low altitude in time after an emergency occurs.
Learn some first aid knowledge, which will be useful in critical situations.
The first thing you need to pay attention to in the wild is fire prevention, the second is waterproofing (on the one hand, it is to prepare items for waterproofing, and on the other hand, it refers to self-protection in heavy rain, flash floods, etc.), and the third is heat protection. (Heat stroke, etc.), the fourth is to prevent cold (frostbite and hypothermia caused by continuous rain and strong wind, etc.), the fifth is to protect against lightning strikes, the sixth is to protect against poisonous insects and poisonous weeds, and the seventh is to protect against accidental injuries (bleeding, fractures, etc.)
Another thing to note is to care for wild animals and plants, and not to leave garbage behind.
