Outdoor Camping Safety Tips


Wednesday, July 8, 2009


  • Travel with a friend. Don't make a travel alone and never need to be by yourself in case of an emergency. Always leave a copy of your schedule with a responsible person. In the situation of entering a remote area, your team should have a minimum of four people; then only if someone is hurt, another person can stay with the injured while other two go for help. If you feel unfamiliar to enter into an area go with someone who knows the area.

  • Proper physical condition. Set a normal speed as you hike. If you have any commitment in medical condition, first go to your family doctor and get approval before you leaving. Ensure that you have enough skill for outdoor camping and hiking adventure. You should have knowledge to erect a shelter, or give first aid and read a compass. If you have idea to climb or travel to high altitudes, make plans for proper adjustment to the height.

  • Be more careful while traveling near cliffs. We can't trust any trees and bushes to hold us at all times. Walk on solid rock, developed trails with good footing.

  • Wear proper clothing for the season and trail condition.

  • Check out your equipment. Make sure your equipments are in good condition. Check it before your trip. Pack emergency things first.

  • Weather condition is an important thing. Keep in mind on current and predicted weather condition. Weather can change frequently. Try to avoid exposed places, streams, lone trees, and rocks during storms.
