1, near water: camping and rest are inseparable from water, and proximity is the primary factor in choosing a camp.
2. So when choosing a camp, you should choose a place close to streams, lakes and rivers to get water. However, we can't set the camp on the beach. There are power plants upstream of some rivers. When storing water, the floodplain is wide and the water flow is small. Once the water is released, the floodplain will be flooded, including some usually small streams. Once it rains, there may be floods or flash floods. We must pay attention to this problem, especially in rainy season and flash flood-prone areas.
3. Leeward: When camping in the wild, you should consider the leeward problem, especially in some valleys and river beaches. You should choose leeward places to camp. And pay attention to the orientation of the tent door, not facing the wind. Leeward also considers the safety and convenience of using fire.
4. Far cliff: When camping, you can't stick the camp under the cliff, which is very dangerous. Once there is a strong wind on the mountain, stones and other things may be scraped off, causing casualties.
5. Near the village: When the camp is near the village, you can ask the villagers for help in case of emergency, especially when there is no firewood, vegetables and food. Being close to the village is also a shortcut, that is, being close to the road is convenient for the movement and transfer of the team.
6. Shade: If you need to stay in the camp for more than two days, when the weather is good, you should choose a shady place to camp, such as under a big tree and to the north of the mountain. It is best to bask in the sun, not the sunset. If you rest during the day, the tent will not be too stuffy.
Lightning protection: In rainy season or lightning-prone areas, the camp shall not be built on high ground, tall trees or isolated flat land. It's easy to attract lightning strikes.
