Camping with a tent or sleeping bag is an experience that should be experienced in autumn, winter and spring seasons when you have the proper equipment. We will give you tips on what to consider when camping with 10 important tips we will discuss here.
1. Should I use cotton or plastic?
A cotton fabric tent is better than a plastic cloth. Cotton breathes before anything else, but if it gets wet, a cotton tent becomes too heavy due to moisture and cannot be packed. Plastic tents are always lightweight, non-absorbent, and can survive in all weather conditions.
2. What should I pay attention to in the setup?
Flatten the surface as much as possible to keep it resistant to precipitation. Be careful to carry your tent in a folded manner on its sheath to prevent freezing. Check the floor well during setup.
3. Make use of different equipment
Put a plastic piece under the tent and sleeping bag. Place a tent cloth or blankets on the area to be installed so that there is a habitable area on it. Use a thick mat to free your shoes from the dirt and debris. Do not forget to close the night curtains. In this way you can save the heat of the tent.
4. Be careful of the temperature during sleep
Be sure to use a tent and a sleeping bag that you are sure will keep you at -10 ° C. At low temperatures it is important to sleep in a sleeping bag or plastic fiber. An additional hood must also be fitted to the sleeping bag. A hat you will wear at night will help protect you from cold.
5. Get extra floor mats during sleep
Isolate the floor of the bed with insulation. The tent should be at least 5 cm thick. Sleep in the air bed. Air beds comfort may be good, but it is unsuccessful in insulation.
6. Pay more attention to heating
Prevent freezing of your tent, if possible with a small electric jet boiler. So hot weather allows you to stay in the tent and stay dry. Do not forget to remove the power cord or pull the plug regularly. If the cable gets hot, it may cause fire by melting. If you are using a gas heater, always remember to ventilate, this will protect you from carbon monoxide poisoning.
7. Food and beverage
Place unfrozen food and supplies (toiletries, lentils, fresh fruit, etc.) in a well-insulated box or plastic bag and leave it at a safe distance next to the heater. Try to hang it, preferably on the ground. Because the floor is always colder.
8. Cooking
Cook your food with propane gas. If you use butane gas, it can harm your health. Gasoline is also dangerous as it can cause fire, and flammable gases are harmful to a poorly ventilated area.
9. Clothes
Bring thermal underwear and hats, thick socks, gloves and winter boots or shoes and extra warm clothes for your camp. Do not choose cotton clothes for moisture retention.
10. Hot beverage
Always have a hot drink next to you. Get a hot drink like chocolates or soup. Remember that alcohol temporarily keeps you warm.
