How to cope with camp climate change

Even in camping sites, there are dangers if it is in a bad climate. When it is found that the weather is going to be a sign of deterioration, and when you know that you may be experiencing storms and other conditions in a few hours, you must first consider whether the tent is safe and secure. According to the types of bad weather, the terrain of the campsite and other factors, the measures taken to deal with them are also different...



1 Whether to move the tent position according to the terrain

If it is camping on the ridge, attention should be paid to wind and thunderstorms. In the valley, attention should be paid to rainwater. In the vicinity of the rock wall, attention should be paid to falling rocks and lightning. Second, we must consider whether we can ensure safety in bad weather. If it is judged that the original tent location is not substantially dangerous, tent safety inspections, strengthening measures, etc., shall be made in preparation for bad weather. If safety is unreliable, it is necessary to consider relocating the tent.

In the mountains, first consider setting up a tent on a mountain ridge. The ridges have a lot of wind coming from the front, and the tents must withstand such winds, especially between the two peaks. Although it is not possible to suffer the sudden increase in water volume caused by rainfall to the valley on the ridge, it must not be forgotten that the location is most vulnerable to lightning strikes. The disaster caused by thunder and lightning is different from the wind and rain, and anyone who is struck by thunder and lightning does not die. If you pay attention to when you can avoid hitting tents or people directly by lightning. Therefore, special attention should be paid to moving the tent to a safe place.

When setting up tents in the valley, first notice the rapid rise of the stream. Almost every year there are accidents where people are trapped due to the soaring water volume, and many people are trapped in tents because of the rapid increase in water volume. When setting up tents, it is prohibited to approach the river or near the water stream. Even if the weather in your area is very good, the river may be in danger of soaring due to the rain in the upper reaches. Once the river surges, its destructive power is astonishing. Therefore, valley camping should be observed first.

In the valley there are no suitable places for camping, as long as you look closely to understand. Observe carefully the difference between the erosion status and color of the rock on the river bank, the situation of trees and grass, etc., and understand where the water level will rise. The campsite in the valley must be fully aware of the decision.


In the early spring and early summer, it is also necessary to beware of the snow that melts and floods with large amounts of sand. Water blocked by snow valleys or fallen trees will be dumped once the obstacle disappears. Therefore, when camping in the valley in this season, more attention should be paid to proper conditions. Because its power is as great as that of dam flood discharge.

How about setting up a tent near a rock wall? The first thing to consider is whether or not rocks will loosen due to rain and cause rockfall. A series of rockfalls caused by falling rocks will also form avalanches in the mountains, so care should be taken. Also, if the rock wall is located near the ridge, it is easy to induce a lightning strike. Therefore, extra care must be taken.

As mentioned above, carefully observe the terrain on which you are located. If you think that the weather is deteriorating and you are in danger, you must consider moving the tent to a safer place.


2 Safety Inspection and Strengthening Measures for Tents

No matter whether it is waiting for bad weather in the same place to clear or transfer camping grounds, we must not neglect measures taken to carry out safety inspections and reinforcements on tents that have already been deployed. Whether the string cords are really tightened, whether there are problems with the pillars, and whether the drainage ditches are correct Digging and so on should be examined in detail. If you think that only using the control rope is not very stable, you may wish to use rock or mountain climbing to reinforce it. If it is forecasted that the weather is rather strong, you must use fine hemp ropes or climbing ropes to increase the power of the control ropes in order to stabilize the tent and prevent the tent from being swept away by the wind.

What is most likely to be neglected is to actually inspect the tent to see if it is damaged. Even if there is a small hole or a small gap in the tent tarpaulin, it will become large or be torn when it is struck by strong winds, and it will easily be subjected to strong winds, so care must be taken.


3 tidy up inside the tent

In order to avoid being panicked by the deterioration of the weather, you should first tidy up and tidy up inside the tent. First of all, consider flooding in case of flooding, in order to prevent clothing, hiking shoes and other equipment damp, it should be packed into a plastic bag, extra items should be included in the backpack. When flooding, items are often lost in confusion due to panic.

In addition, sharp objects such as small knives should be carefully taken care of so as not to scratch the tent. When the wind is strong, the small damage of the tent will also be pulled up, which may result in having to give up the result of the tent.

Before the weather deteriorates, it is also important to prepare meals in advance. In harsh climates, it is not only difficult to get water, but it is also dangerous to cook in the wind. Maybe it will be burned by the overturning of the pot, or it may even cause a fire; under bad conditions, it is very difficult to carry out the work smoothly.


4 How to survive bad weather

It has started to rain, and the wind has also turned strong. This kind of bad weather will last until when it is in the midst of its existence. However, if all preparations for coping with bad weather are already in place, then we are determined to wait until the weather turns fine. At the same time, we must wait for the radio to listen to the weather report's broadcast and draw a weather map to try to understand the weather changes.

In addition, they must go out on shifts regularly to check if the rope is firm and if there is flooding. When going out for inspection, you should observe the changes in the clouds and observe the sky.

Hiding in the tent has not moved, it is easy to create a dull, bored atmosphere and feel tired. Therefore, it may be regarded as a rare opportunity to take a rest and enjoy this period of time in a way of singing and storytelling. These methods are described in Chapter 5 above. Another example is managing food, and checking the food plan and other work within them is also a good way to pass the time.


5 Escape from the tent

Due to the extremely bad weather, it may also be the case that the tent will be abandoned. Only other preparations can be completed as soon as possible. When preparing, be sure to check for nearby mountain huts, caves, or forests where you can take refuge, and confirm the route first, put on your hiking shoes and fully arm them to complete preparations that can be detached from the site at any time.

Once announcing the abandonment of the tent, it is bound to be in an extremely dangerous situation. Ropes should be used to prevent the loss of players, and careful attention should be paid to avoiding lost routes. At that time, it was also the moment when teamwork faced the greatest test.
