Camping, how to site

In general, riding the faithful to go out riding, CAMPING at the time, to be elected in the wide field of vision, smooth path, shelter cool, flat, dry ground and closer to a place away from the water. However, we point to note is:
First, absolutely not in the center of the canyon camping, avoid flash floods who were unexpected.
Second, not in the vicinity of the river drains camp, in order to avoid "stealing."
Third, under the cliff rockfall often not possible to camp.
Fourth, high projections place the cold wind, where camping is difficult to sleep.
Fifth, do not go under the tree thunderstorm season camp, in order to avoid lightning hit.
Sixth, forested place is not ideal camping here Snake more.
In addition, the camp choose to have sufficient time to make a considered choice, it must be through the noon day should begin to pay attention to select the appropriate location of the camp on the line, you can not be in earnest until after dusk fast selection camp, which is a big Mistakes! Under normal circumstances, after a day trek, very difficult to have plenty of energy to choose a better camping spot, besides give us the opportunity to choose not too much.
General entrance tents to choose in the lee of the Department, and away from possible Stones hillside. To prevent wind Tent corners use large stones to suppress. To avoid possible flooded tent at night when it rains, the roof should be just below the foul line to dig a drainage ditch.
To maintain air circulation within the tent, absolutely not for cooking in the tent. To check whether the night before going to bed around extinguish all ignition sources, the tent is fixed or firm.
Camping requires digging latrines, toilets should be built in the camp slightly lower downwind, usually dug a width of about thirty centimeters, about fifty centimeters long, deep rectangular pit about half a meter, which put some stones and cedar leaves (the smell). Three sides surrounded with plastic sheeting or containers and fixed the opening side should leeward. Prepare some sand and a shovel and a piece of cardboard. After using some of the sand will bury excrement and toilet paper, and cover with a plate would then pit to eliminate odor. Stand outside in the toilet of a more obvious signs, so that others in more distant to see if someone is using.

The relatively poor ability of the players should try to arrange in the center of the tent area, and if the poor conditions in the camp or hazardous area safety factor smaller camp, men and women must bastard, if an accident occurs, you can minimize the danger.

The basic principles of selection camp
The first consideration is safety. In the wild, many accidents can happen. At low altitudes, the risk is much smaller, but still must follow the basic principles of selection camp.
