1. Close to the water source


Camping and rest must be chosen close to water sources, such as choosing close to streams and rivers. However, the camp cannot be set up on a river beach or beside a stream. Once it rains heavily, or the upstream reservoir releases water, or flash floods occur, there will be danger to life. Especially in the rainy season and flash flood prone areas.


2. Pay attention to the wind direction


When camping in the wild, the leeward problem should be considered, especially in some valleys and river beaches, you should choose a leeward place to camp. Also pay attention to the orientation of the tent door not to face the wind. Leeward is not only considered for camping, but also for fire.
