Detection and setting up of tent area
Druring the winter camping, you don’t have a chance setting up tent whereever you want like summer’s.So what should you pay attention to?
Suerly, this stipulation will change with regard to necessities and dangers.We exactly refer rainwater, snowstorm, wild animal attack and the other emergency cases by saying danger.
The most troubled situation is probably setting up a tent on a road that rainwater moves on after the rain.We think that, you don’t like that rainwater flows throughout the area, you set up your tent in, at midnight.Even if there are no rain and snow, there might be river or fountain. In view of these springs, not setting up your tent near there makes you spend a peaceful night in your winer camping.
Wind, storm or blizzard;
If there are tents more than one, you should place them (side by side or like four corners of square) like a body to protect each other from weather events, wild and storm.But when this situation transforms to a snowstorm these precautions will not be adequate.I have a advice for you to prevent this;hypethral snow house.
Actually, the meaning of the snow house is building a wall around one meter with the mass of snow, that obtained by shovel assistance.Actually, it may looks like tiring at the beginning, but you can be sure that building your own construction is very enjoyable.
