Outdoor hiking and camping tips:
When choosing a campsite, always look for a safe, sheltered, dry, and flat area. Be mindful of your surroundings—check for potential hazards like falling rocks, wind direction, animal nests, or beehives. Avoid setting up camp near rivers unless you are certain the water level won’t rise suddenly. Also, try to avoid areas with high mosquito activity.
**Important reminders:**
1. Check if there are risks of landslides, avalanches, or flash floods around your campsite.
2. It’s best to have a nearby water source that is easy to access.
3. If you plan to start a fire, make sure there is enough firewood nearby.
4. In rainy seasons, dig drainage ditches around your tent to prevent water from pooling inside.
5. Ensure your tent is secure in strong winds and rest properly after your day’s activities.
6. Store valuables, clothes, and food in a secure container before sleeping. Carry self-defense tools and essential medicines like cold oil, wind oil, and safflower oil. Wear leggings to protect your legs from insects and snakes. Carry snake medicine if you're in an area known for venomous snakes.
**Wildlife encounters:**
If you come across large animals like bears, leopards, or rhinos, don’t run or scream. Most animals don’t attack unless they feel threatened. Stay calm and slowly back away. Only a few snakes are aggressive; most will only bite if stepped on. If bitten, staying calm can significantly improve your chances of survival.
**Nutrition during hikes:**
Long hikes require extra energy due to heavy physical exertion and sweating. This can lead to salt loss, electrolyte imbalance, and nutritional deficiencies. To stay healthy, carry high-calorie foods like beef jerky and chocolate. Take a vitamin tablet daily, eat salty foods like mustard, and bring electrolyte drinks like Guozhen granules to replenish fluids as needed.
**Staying warm:**
In areas like deserts or mountains, temperatures can drop drastically at night. Prepare warm clothing and choose a suitable sleeping bag based on expected temperatures. Wet clothes lose heat quickly, so change into dry clothes as soon as possible. Use quick-drying fabrics like Coolmax to stay comfortable.
**Other important considerations:**
- Avoid risky climbs unless absolutely necessary. If you must climb, remove your backpack first and use ropes for safety.
- When crossing unstable paths like bridges or cliffs, loosen your backpack straps to allow for quick removal if needed.
- Avoid hiking at night unless it's absolutely necessary. Poor visibility increases the risk of getting lost. If you must hike at night, bring a headlamp.
- When wading through unknown waters, assess depth and conditions first. Avoid barefoot wading to prevent slips and injuries.
- Always pack out all trash, especially non-biodegradable waste. Bring a garbage bag to collect your litter.
**Essential gear:**
Choose equipment based on the terrain, duration, and weather. Essential public items include tents, cooking gear, ropes, first aid kits, maps, compasses, and flashlights. Personal items should include a backpack, sleeping bag, moisture pad, Gloves, hat, extra clothes, sunglasses, headlamp, water bottle, and personal medications.
**Health prevention tips:**
- Prevent fatigue by walking on uneven trails and taking small steps.
- Prevent blisters by using tape on pressure points inside your shoes.
- Dress appropriately for the climate—lightweight and warm layers in cold regions, breathable clothes in hot areas.
- Stay hydrated with tea mixed with salt. Soak your feet in hot water to relieve tiredness.
- Carry common medicines like cold, heatstroke, and antiseptic treatments. Keep alcohol wipes for cleaning wounds.
