Camping
Setting up whilst on a camp.
Before setting up a tent site, make sure the area is safe, and free of sharp objects, is stable and is free from any harmful animals. Sweep or rake, objects such as rocks and bark from underneath the tent site, to prevent possible rips in the base of the tent. While hammering the pegs into the ground, keep your hands clear, just in case you accidently, slip or miss the peg and hit your hand. When your site is setup, walk around the area to find any possible areas that could be harmful, so you and others can be aware of dangerous objects surrounding the area.
Camp fire- Before trying to light a fire, make sure you have surrounded the burning area with Large rocks, so they fire cannot escape; also make sure that the surrounding area is free of small leaves, or dead grass that can set fire. When this is complete, add kindle, and some form of paper and light with a flint or lighter and as the fire is begins to enlarge, add logs, sticks, ect.
Stove cooking- When cooking on the stove you take on the hike, make sure it's clean and free of any flammable liquid. Also, make sure when cooking, that you don't leave the gas bottle or any flammable liquid around the flame. Make sure each pot/pan is stable and has no chance of falling off the base, as that could cause serious injuries. .
Toileting- Make sure on the camp that you have sufficient cleaning equipment, such as toilet roll, wet ones, and a shovel, so you and the land is clean once you are finished. If you choose to go to the toilet off a tree, make sure it is stable and make sure you are not going to fall. When digging a hole, make sure it big enough and also make sure it is not dug to skinny, or too wide.
Water- While hiking, or even camping; always carry a camel pack full of water. If you don't own a camel pack, bring plenty of water. Preferably around 2 or 3 litres. Before putting water in camel pack or drink bottle, make sure it has been thoroughly cleaned out. To keep
