How to set up camp for outdoor camping
Outdoor camping is essential, and there are many places to pay attention to.
1. Close to water. Camping and resting must be close to water sources, such as streams, lakes, and rivers. However, it is not advisable to camp on river beaches or by streams, especially during the rainy season and flash flood-prone areas, where heavy rains or water release from upstream reservoirs can be life-threatening.
2. Lightning protection. During the rainy season or in areas with high levels of thunder and lightning, camps must not be set up on high ground, under tall trees or on relatively isolated flat ground.
3. Leeward. Leeward should be considered when camping in the wilderness, especially in some valleys and river beaches, and the tent door should not be oriented towards the wind.
4. Far cliffs. If you want to camp under a cliff, but you can't find a suitable spot in the recess under the cliff due to the constraints, don't camp here. If there is a strong wind blowing on the mountain, there is a risk that stones and other objects may be blown down, causing danger.
5. Backshade. If it is a camp that needs to be lived for more than two days, you should choose a shady place to camp in good weather, such as under a large tree or on the north side of the mountain, preferably in the morning sun rather than at sunset. So that during the day, it is not too stuffy in the tent.
6. Check the tent. In any case, it is important not to neglect to carry out a safety check on the tent to confirm that the ropes are indeed tightened, that there are no problems with the pillars, that the gutters are indeed dug properly, etc. If the wind is strong and the rope is not very stable, be sure to fix it with a rock or a pickaxe. Once a tent is damaged, it is often irremediable.

When camping, focus on protecting your legs and knees
Camping involves a long hike through mountains and rivers, and the legs and knees are the most tiring parts, so it is important to protect them well.
The first is to do a good stretch before climbing, so that the joints, muscles, ligaments, etc. can be warmed up well. You can also rub the lower edge of the knee with both hands to promote the secretion of joint lubrication.
The second is to reduce the weight-bearing, under normal circumstances, the weight is more than 1/4 of the body weight, and the rhythm should be controlled from the perspective of protecting the knees when going down the mountain, even if it is a special situation, the weight bearing should not exceed 1/3 of the body weight.
The third is to wear a pair of soft shoes, generally walking on soft grass, gravel slopes, land, snow will not cause greater damage to the knees, but pay attention to anti-slip, and when walking on gravel roads, you must look at your feet, do not look around, to avoid tripping over small stones.
Fourth, you must not run or jump down the mountain, and the speed should be slow. The correct way to go down the hill is to move the center of gravity back and lower it slightly, and only move the center of gravity to the front foot when it is ready, and always have one foot supported on the ground.
The fifth is to soak your feet in hot water, after a day of activity, your legs and knees are already very tired, and when you return to the camp at night, if the conditions allow, you can soak your feet in hot water to promote blood circulation and sleep.

Don't neglect a healthy camping diet
1. Pay attention to food hygiene. For camping picnics, prepare a certain amount of food, such as braised vegetables, cooked food, etc. However, it is best to buy braised vegetables the day before and store them in the refrigerator, and heat them before going out before taking them away. When buying food, you should be optimistic about the production date and shelf life, it is recommended to bring ham sausages, bread, biscuits, mineral water, drinks, etc., which do not need to be processed and are convenient and fast.
2. Don't drink raw water. The water source in the wild looks clear and clear, but do not drink it at will, it is easy to be contaminated by germs and easily infected with viral hepatitis, enteritis and other diseases.
3. Smoked fire-grilled food should be in moderation. When camping, meat foods such as lamb skewers, grilled fish fillets, and chicken wings are the most mouth-watering. But to eat it in moderation, it's best to go with some vegetables and fruits.
4. Don't eat roadside wild vegetables. Wild vegetables and mushrooms often grow in mountainous areas, and many tourists will pick them for soup or cold salad. Remember not to eat these wild vegetables and mushrooms to avoid food poisoning.

Prepare moisture-proof mats for sitting and lying in the grass
Outdoor camping will choose to sit and lie down, must remember to bring a moisture-proof mat, moisture-proof mat has a variety of styles, shapes and lengths, moisture-proof mat how soft, long, wide can be considered, moisture-proof mat has single, double or multi-person, easy to carry is appropriate. There are 3 main functions of moisture-proof mats:
The first anti-sloppy. Since it is difficult to find a flat place when camping in the wilderness, it can be very uncomfortable to sleep, and with a moisture-proof mat, the situation is much better.
Second, moisture-proof. When camping in the wild, the ground is generally very humid at night, and because the moisture-proof mat is waterproof, it can play a role in keeping out the moisture.
Third, keep warm. Since the body is generally in direct contact with the ground when camping in the wilderness, the insulation effect of the bottom of the tent alone is minimal, so if there is a moisture-proof mat between the body and the ground, the warmth effect will be much better.
