Wild camping essential knowledge, outdoor skills and precautions

Wild camping - are you ready?

Before starting, you must imagine as much as possible the various situations you will face in the field in order to prepare the appropriate skills and equipment. How to equip yourself to a large extent determines the success or failure of camping activities. The following items are indispensable. There is a need to remind campers of their first-time participation: Not a good destination and an exciting action plan can turn into a good camping life. All kinds of situations that will be faced in the wild must be imagined as far as possible in order to prepare appropriate skills and equipment to ensure the safety of field life in order to achieve the desired results. Due to the complexity of the climate in the wild, especially in the mountainous areas, the harsh conditions of rain and wind suddenly arise. If those camping tools with poor bottom quality and poor wind and rain resistance are used, they will be exposed and unrestrained and even cause dangerous situations. Therefore, how to equip yourself before departure largely determines the success of camping.

1. Tent: It is better to choose double-layer tents with stable structure, light weight, wind resistance and strong rain-proof performance.

2. Sleeping bag: Lightweight or goose down sleeping bag is light and warm, but the premise is that it must be kept dry. When the environmental conditions are relatively humid, the artificial vacuum cotton sleeping bag may be a better choice.

3. Backpack: The secret to weight-bearing a backpack is that it will share most of its weight on the buttocks. The backpack structure should conform to its own body structure and have a strong and comfortable belt.

4. Fire appliances: lighters, matches, candles, magnifying glass. The candle can be used as a light source and an excellent combustion aid

5. Noodle equipment: kettle, multi-purpose wild pot, sharp multi-function knife, cutlery

6. Special Tools: Compass, Map, Rope, Folding Pickaxe, Flashlight, Needlework, Hook Fishing Line, Machete, Camera

7. Water and food: heat, meat, sugar, fat, do not forget to bring salt

8. Life-saving boxes: antidote, powder, cold medicine, diarrhea medicine, Yunnanbaiyao, analgesics, gauze, tape, bandages.

How to find the right campsite?

For the joy and tranquility of camping, even if you are very tired, you must carefully choose the camp.

1. Select a well-drained place and try to avoid places where there are traces of water flow or water accumulation.

2. Choose where you can get away from the wind. This is done by looking at the way the plants grow around and the topography. If you find that the branches of the trees are on one side, or the terrain forms a ridge-like place, there must be strong winds.

3. Try to choose flat, sunny, and near water. Of course, we must also consider the factors of good scenery.

4. Riverbank camping sites and valley campgrounds are very dangerous when they encounter rivers or waterfalls, so choose a place with a relatively high topography.

5. Avoid cliffs or slopes where sand and soil loss may occur as far as possible to avoid falling rocks or landslides.

6. When you encounter a thunderstorm on the mountain, you must not set up camps in places where rocks are prominent, but also avoid tall trees.

7. The mountainside is easy to gather moisture, and the mountain mouth leading to the water is often the only way for wild animals to drink water. Therefore, these camps should be avoided when choosing camps. In the wild, how can we sleep comfortably?

With enough sleep, you will be able to eliminate fatigue and full of energy. You will start the next day's activities, especially the field activities for several days, and you will need plenty of sleep. You must train yourself and develop the habit of sleeping in the wild.

1. Avoid moisture: Collect branches, arrange neatly, put dead leaves or weeds on them, so that the rest plane and the ground form a moisture-proof gap. Of course, it is also a good idea to use a foamed polyurethane mat.

2. Maintain body temperature: Wear warm, cold clothing; ingest high-calorie foods such as sugar, chocolate, etc.

3. Use a sleeping bag: The sleeping bag can be rolled into a pillow to carry. It is very convenient. After it is unfolded, the body is drilled into the bag to cut off the cold air and the body heat is not easily lost. It is very convenient to use. The type of sleeping bag is Mummy style, envelope style and so on.

4. Prevent pests: There are more mosquitoes in the mountains, so tents with fine mosquito nets should be selected. In hot and humid woodland, it is best to use mosquito repellent to smear the body. In the absence of insect repellent drugs, mosquitoes can be smoked in the tent with good results. If you are bitten by ticks, cockroaches, and locusts, use Amenna water or ointment for cold compresses.

5. Insulation Beds: When you are camping, if your partner becomes ill due to cold, we must warm it. In the absence of mats, the campfire can be extinguished, and then covered with a layer of things, it becomes an ideal insulation bed. In the absence of conditions for making a warmer bed, the kettle can be filled with hot water and placed on the patient's side; stones of moderate size can also be selected, placed in a campfire, heated, wrapped in cloth, placed on the patient's Body side, good insulation effect.

How to find water and collect water?

Life can not be separated from water, no food normal people can live for three weeks, but no water, three days can not live, so the water should give priority to:

1. The preferred place for water sources in the mountains is the bottom of the valley. Water in the high mountain areas should be found along the cracks in the rocks. Dry sands in riverbeds often dig springs.

2. On the coast, digs should be made above the highest waterline. It is possible that a layer of water with a depth of about 5 cm will float on the denser seawater layer.

3. When drinking the water in the stagnant water, it must be disinfected, precipitated and boiled for drinking.

4. Collect rainwater: dig a hole in the ground, spread a layer of plastic, and surround it with clay, which can effectively collect rainwater.

5. Condensate: Put a plastic bag on a thick branch of leaves. The transpiration of the leaves will produce condensate.

6. Tracking animals, birds, insects, or human traces can find water sources.

7. Water intake in plants: There is water in the internodes of bamboo and other hollow plants. Lianas tend to have potable juices. Fruits and stems of palms and cactus plants are rich in water.

8. Daylight distiller: In the arid desert areas, water can be collected using the following method: a pit approximately 90 cm wide and 45 cm deep is dug on relatively wet ground, and a water collector is placed at the bottom of the pit. Suspended by a curved plastic film. The light energy raises the temperature of the moist soil and air in the pit. Evaporation generates moisture. The water vapor comes into contact with the plastic film and forms a water droplet when it condenses and falls down into the vessel.

How to identify the direction in the field?

Traveling in the mountains often leads to a situation of getting lost. At this time, you should not panic. You must calm down and use some of the features in nature to identify the direction:

1. Phenomenon: On a flat ground, vertical trunks of more than 1 meter in length are placed vertically. Indicate where the tree shadow is located. Mark the top of the tree with a rock or tree stick (figure a). After 15 minutes, mark the top of the trunk with a new projection on the ground (b). The connection between the two points will give you the east-west direction - the first thing marked is West. North-South direction and connecting straight. This method is applicable to any latitude and longitude area, any time of the day, but it must have sunshine. Use it to detect the direction you are moving.

2. Table Method: A traditional watch, sometimes with a needle and a minute hand, can be used to determine the direction, provided that it represents the exact local time. The further away from the equator, the more reliable this method will be. Place the table horizontally with the hour hand pointing to the sun, and the bisector between the hour hand and the 12-point scale indicating the north-south direction.

3. Simple compass: A piece of iron wire (sewing needle can be) repeatedly rubbing in the same direction and silk, will produce magnetic, hanging up can indicate the North Pole. 4. Plant Law: If you lost your way on a cloudy day, you can know the position by the growth state of the moss on the trees or stones. In terms of trees, the direction in which the leaves grow is lush. If trees are cut, the wider circle is the south.

Your camp game is fun?

In addition to fishing, rock climbing, rafting and other sports and leisure activities, the camp activities are coordinated with some group games to make camp life fresh and interesting. In the game, the entire camp was full of cheerful atmosphere and opened up innocence with each other, inadvertently promoting more harmonious relations.

1. It is very interesting to make your own kites, pull back labels or paper planes yourself. After the flag is thrown, it can still return to its place. The method of producing a back-force label is to use a knife to cut a hard paper or plastic sheet into a shape of a figure, and take a short side when throwing it.

2. Shooting game: Use a bamboo tube, tree fork, and rubber to make a slingshot, use the tree fruit as a bullet, draw a target with white paper, start the shooting competition, and win the championship prize for the wreath made of flowers.

3. Fish catch by the stream: When you are camping by the river, it is a very happy thing to use some clever ways to catch fish, and the catch is the top quality of the picnic. The funnel-shaped fish cage is made of reeds or switchgrass, and the tail is tightly fastened. The funnel-shaped opening meets the water flow and is fixed at the outlet. After the fish enters, it will not get out. Whoever catches more fish in a given time will win.

4. Campfire games: The nature of the night, quiet and serene, everyone can play a wide variety of games while sitting around the campfire. For example: Look at the shadow to guess the name of the person, look for the constellation, retrieve things in the distance, test the guts, and tell the story of Liaozhai. Listening tests give people deeper contact with nature at night. Within 5 minutes, each person wrote a variety of voices on paper, wrote the most wins and drinks, and wrote the fewest performances.

Have you mastered the technique of firing?

Fire can curb death and increase vitality. It can not only cook the food, but also has a wider range of uses: the flame releases heat to produce warmth, it will save heat loss in the body; you can dry clothes; the flesh can be kept fresh for a long time; the fire can scare away dangerous beasts. Smoke can drive away pests. In addition, metal tools can be forged to sharpen wooden sticks. Therefore must learn to fire in any conditions, anywhere.

1. Under normal circumstances, lighters and matches are the most important ignition tools. Wax is dropped on the match before departure to prevent matches from becoming wet. If the match is damp, put it in the hair and rub it in. The hair will have static electricity to make it dry. Also, keep in mind that a small candle can last for a long time only with minimal energy, and the candle is good Combustion agent.

2. Use convex mirrors: Strong sunlight can accumulate enough heat to ignite the fire through the convex mirror. Magnifiers, telescopes or camera lenticulars can be used instead of convex mirrors.

3. Battery ignition: Sparks from the positive and negative poles of batteries in vehicles, flashlights, or radios can be used to ignite.

4. Drilling fire: This is a simple fire technique but requires a lot of practice. Using a hard, braided wood to rub a hole in a cork base, the small pieces of wood will initially fall, and then the friction will become hot. In order to facilitate drilling, hard twisted wood is often wrapped around a homemade wooden bow. Speed ​​up the rotation speed and ignite the fire as soon as possible.

Have you enjoyed the camp picnic?

The picnic is one of the joys of life in the wild. In nature, everyone works together and cooks meals together for enjoyment. Even if it is a light meal, it is also like a golden meal.

1. The choice of tableware: It is better to find the same shape and the size can be almost close together, which can save space. Bowl-shaped cutlery is much more versatile than dish-shaped ones, so it's better to have handles.

2. Mushroom bamboo rice: Use a piece of coarser bamboo, cut one side of the knot, and then fill it with water, rice, shiitake mushrooms, leaves, bacon, water and rice in a ratio of 2 to 1, completely with aluminum foil and leaves. Seal and put it under the fire to heat it for 30 minutes.

3. Baotu Barbecue: For meat, fish, and game, this method can often be used to cook unique flavors that cannot be found in restaurants. The specific method is to use cabbage leaves, lotus leaf or aluminum foil to wrap the food with various spices, and then apply a layer of clay mud on the outside and put it into the hot ash with less fire to bake. Tasty.

4. Hanging pan rails: In addition to cooking pans on the fire, there are many ways to hang the pans. Pick a wooden stick with a fork and insert it on the ground, close to the fire, and close it. Put a longer stick on it. One end of the stick is just above the fire. It is used to hang the wild pot and the other end. Press with rocks. This is convenient for adjusting the height angle

5. Smoke and dryness: Preserved meat can be dehumidified by smoke and a layer of protective clothing added.
