Ten things to know about camping

1. Set up a tent at home

You definitely don't want to sleep under the stars with mosquitoes just because you can't pitch a 6 person family tent.

You should pitch a tent at home once before going to the campground to familiarize yourself with the tent pitching process. This way you don't need to waste too much time pitching your tent at the campsite.

2.Choose a campsite close to home

For those who are family camping for the first time, it is recommended to choose a campsite close to home. Try to go to a qualified camping park. The infrastructure is relatively complete. Even if the equipment you bring is not complete, you can still get most of the camping experience. If you still want to seek a little excitement, then choose the suburbs of the city. The advantage of this is that you can quickly seek help when you encounter unnecessary trouble or extreme weather.

Of course, it is also necessary to check the weather forecast before going camping. Although not necessarily accurate, it can help you avoid extreme weather as much as possible.

Don't go to places without mobile phone signals, we are camping, not surviving in the wilderness; we are exploring interesting ways of life, not breaking away from modern civilization. In any case, there must be good means of communication with the outside world, otherwise the danger will be catastrophic.

3.Go early and get to the campsite before dark

Doing anything at night can become a hassle, and not having enough light will make you spend more time pitching your tent and setting up other essentials (so remember to bring plenty of lighting). Arrive at the campsite at least two hours before sunset to give yourself plenty of time to prepare for the night.

4.Make a complete camping plan

I believe that many people make plans before traveling, but there are also some people who are more casual, play wherever they go, and pursue uncertainty. But camping is really different. Reasonable itinerary, meal preparation, and planning of entertainment content will make your entire camping process orderly. Otherwise everything will get messy and you will be exhausted and exhausted.

5. Carry enough drinking water

Camping outdoors is still a relatively physically consuming thing. Sometimes we expel a lot of water through rapid mouth breathing exercise, but we often go unnoticed, resulting in symptoms of body dehydration (hypertonic dehydration). In severe cases, it can be life-threatening.

6. Planned ingredients to bring

In fact, when going out to camp, everyone is afraid that they will not eat enough and eat well. They often bring too many ingredients and snacks every time. As a result, every time the camping ends, there will be a lot left. If it is fresh ingredients, it is even more necessary to carefully plan the amount of each meal, otherwise it will cause huge waste.

7.Prepare a rug for the inside and outside of the tent

Dirt is always an issue when camping. If you want to try and reduce the amount of dirt that ends up in the tent, have a rug for the inside and outside of the tent. Simply wiping down the feed before and after entering the tent will help control the dust and dirt that ends up in the tent.

8.Bring insect repellent and mosquito nets

The wild is full of vitality. Naturally, insects are indispensable, especially mosquitoes. When we choose a campsite, we usually choose a place with water. There are more mosquitoes in places with water. If you don’t want to fight against mosquitoes all night, bring insect repellent and mosquito nets!

9.Don’t buy the equipment for the first camping in one step

For friends who are camping for the first time, my suggestion is to rent tents and sleeping pads first, or buy tents with relatively high cost performance and simple structure and easy to build. Cooking utensils, cutlery, folding chairs, etc., you can use those that are readily available at home. After your first camp, find out what you need but don't have at home before buying.Whether a piece of outdoor equipment is comfortable for you to use, whether it conforms to your own aesthetics, whether it matches your own spending power, etc. has nothing to do with others. Even a recommendation from a camping veteran is based on his own use and aesthetics. not yours.

Camping must ultimately have its own style and tonality. Whether it is from equipment, to outdoor meals, to camping content, you must have your own attitude. If you go out to camp and find that everyone in the campsite uses the same tents and eats the same things, I think you will be frustrated.

A bit similar to home decoration, camping is more fun only if the style is kept diverse. Each of your camping is also a process of exploring your own style, and this process is full of unknown and fun. Step by step, the replacement of equipment is inevitable, and it will never be done in one step.

10.Take away all the trash you make

Don't explain too much. If you can't leave no trace, then you should lie at home and never go anywhere.
