Worried about camping safety? Find out how to stay safe while camping.



    CAMPING SAFETY TIP  

Starts with your choice of planning your next camping trip location. 
In choosing a campsite, consider the wildlife you may find on a particular spot.



Here are some tips to help you plan a safe and enjoyable camping trip:

1. Plan your Camping Trips- LOCATION

A. What place to camp? Is it a safe place to go?

B. Pack Accordingly

But when you’re backpacking, you actually want the lighter stuff on the bottom and the heavier stuff towards the middle/top of the core of your pack (the actual top of your pack is invariably a separate compartment that we’ll discuss in the next section). What’s more, you want the heavy stuff to be as close to your back as possible. Distributing the pack’s weight this way directs the load downward rather than backward, providing more comfort and stability while you’re hiking. 


How to Pack a Backpack


Following this guideline, a general packing order for your backpack would, from bottom to top, look like this:
  • Sleeping bag
  • Clothes (clothes can also be wrapped around various loose items to fill in gaps and keep things from shifting around)
  • Sleeping pad
  • Stove 
  • Water bladder (if your pack has a special bladder compartment it will probably reside in this core area of the pack)
  • Tent
  • Food (food ends up being the heaviest stuff on a backpacking trip)

C. Make a camping packing list.







The hat and sunglasses is also protection from the heat of the sun
 so that your neck does not burn while in camping.





D. Create an activity itinerary.


E. Meal Preparation - breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack.




F. Camping on a Budget-Friendly




2. Choose a safe campsite

Choose a campsite that gets good reviews online.

A. There is a signal on the campground.
B. Read the review and be aware that you are looking for the perfect spot campground for you. before the reservation was made.
C. The area is easy to access.


3. Weather Forecast

A. Be aware of the weather.
B. Look at both the daytime and night-time temperatures as warm sunny days can turn into frosty cold nights. You may need sunglasses, hats, and sunscreen during the day and thick socks, jacket and a warm thermal blanket at night.

4. Be aware of any risks around your tent

Before you do, make sure you have a look around and consider the risks in the immediate area.

A. Make sure you have a look around and consider the risks in the immediate area.

B. Avoid camping directly under large gum trees. Some                species are susceptible to dropping large branches at any        time. The last thing you want is a branch dropping on top of      your tent in the middle of the night.




C. Consider where water will drain in the event of rain. Avoid camping in creek beds and over ditches where water may pool.

If you’re camping with your children, consider setting up away from potential dangers like rivers, creeks, or steep drop-offs.

And always look out for ant nests! It’s no fun setting up your tent on top of a horde of angry ants.

5. Bring plenty of food and water

and you need to treat a wounded person. you must have enough FIRST AID KIT available.

bites or cuts you may get on the trail or road.



MOSQUITO REPELLENT

Where you are going, you need to research if there is a signal in that area.

you always ask yourself is there a signal?
Is there a nearby settlement or clinic, are there local hospitals nearby and how to get there the fastest to save valuable time.


8. Keep your eye out for wildlife

TOP TIP:
Keep wildlife wild! It is very important not to feed wildlife as it can change their natural behavior to become aggressive for food. Human food can also be difficult for them to digest and can lead to illness.


 Mosquitoes, ticks and other insects can bite and cause irritation and, in rare cases, carry diseases.



If you know in that area that there have been reports or cases

of malaria and dengue in a campsite or campground, that means.

it is not safe to camp in that area!






9. Be fire safe around campfires
 
 When it comes to camping, make sure you know the rules. not all campgrounds allow campfires, and during fire danger periods.

Not all parks or campgrounds allow campfires, and during the fire danger season campfires are not allowed in all national parks.


When campfires are allowed, there are a few things you need to consider:

A. First double check your surroundings always use                      designated fire areas. 

B. The bonfire should only be lit in places where there is clean       and dry ground with a pit, and a rock around it.

C. To prevent its spread that can start the burning of woods           and forests also caused by sudden strong winds.

D. Keep the fire at least 3 meters away from your tent. And make sure your camping gear, especially the fire source thing. such as butanes, gas bottles and gasoline cans must be stored properly.

 E. Check the condition of the soil if it is dry or wet. and know         the surroundings if it is windy.

F. Keep an eye on it and never leave a fire unattended.


 Watch your kids 

-Keep a close eye on the kids and teach them how to be safe   around fires.


-Don’t let them poke the fire or throw things into it, and make     sure they keep a safe distance.


-Teach them to assume everything around a fire is hot – even   the metal on a nearby camping chair can become     unexpectedly hot and cause burns.



Keep it simple

Keep it simple and easily extinguished or extinguished.

The campsite fires should only be large enough for cooking and heating on cold nights. 

If you leave the area, extinguish the fire properly with water.
keep adding water to it until it loses its heat!



Do not use soil even if you cover it, the coals can stay hot for more than 8 hours. which can be dangerous to anyone walking in the area after you leave.




-If you have children with you watch your children. watch the children and teach them how to be safe around fire.


-Don't let them play with the fire or throw any objects into it,

 make sure they are at a safe distance.


-Teach them that everything around the fire is hot, which can     cause burns.


-Make sure the area around the fire is clean and clear of   danger.




Have a bucket of water and shovel nearby to extinguish any potential fire spread. 

Do not use flammable liquids to start a fire, as it can be very dangerous. if there are still hot coals.


Know the campground rules

  • Remember that not all campgrounds are allowed to cut trees and turn them into firewood.
  • Remember that collecting firewood inside the national park is an offence, so you must bring your own firewood. 


TOP TIP:
