Summer Camping Tips - Enjoy Cool Outdoor Time
Classification£ºCamping plan- Details
Summer camping, always let a person with expectations, but also inevitably worry, can be said to make people love and hate. Don't worry, this ultra-practical strategy to help, let it become your summer camping right-hand man!
Selection of campsite / LOCATION
Priority should be given to campsites with shade, water and good ventilation, away from direct sunlight and open spaces with no shade, so as to effectively stop the heat from accumulating in large quantities.
Natural Cooling:
Make use of the surrounding natural environment to cool down, such as setting up camp near water sources such as rivers, lakes or waterfalls. Choose to camp in the shade or at higher altitudes to take advantage of natural breezes or cooler temperatures to lower your body temperature. Lakeside forests are perfect for this, as the body temperature can drop by at least 3-5 degrees at the water's edge, and if you happen to have clean, clear water, you can also enjoy the fun of backpacking.
Lightweight Equipment/LESS
When camping in the summer, the word ¡°light¡± should be deep in your DNA, and you should choose lightweight and functional equipment to make your trip easy and worry-free. It is recommended to choose a tent with a front and back door to allow for better air circulation and lower the temperature inside the tent. It's also a good idea to bring a canopy, which is ventilated on all sides and provides protection from the sun and heat.
Choose your time/TIME
Try to avoid midday outdoor activities and pick a time in the morning and evening when temperatures are cooler to start your camping and exploring trip. Beginners may want to get up early and finish setting up camp before the sun is high in the sky. Dusk and early evening are also highly recommended, not only to escape the heat, but also for the spectacular sunset views. Arriving at night reduces the amount of sun exposure, but is better suited for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts due to poor visibility.
Must-haves/ITEM
Small fan: It delivers a cool breeze, so you can feel a little bit of coolness even in the hot summer days.
Ice bag/ice pad: Placing an ice bag or ice pad on your seat, sleeping bag or around your body can effectively lower the local temperature. Be careful to replace the ice regularly to maintain the cooling effect.
Frozen water bottles: Freezing water bottles in advance and placing them in the tent while camping can provide some cooling effect.
Cold-sensitive towel/cold-sensitive pad: these towels can stay cool for a period of time after absorbing moisture, especially suitable for use during outdoor activities.
Outdoor insulated box: a must-have good thing for summer traveling! Food, drinks, fruits, ice packs, frozen water bottles can all fit in it, and there is nothing more pleasant and refreshing than drinking a glass of cold drink! It's super easy to carry once you lift it.
Other notes/OTHER
Sunscreen: Bring sunscreen, sun hats, sunglasses and other sunscreen items to prevent heat stroke and sunburn.
Heatstroke medicines: bring patchouli, 10 drops of water, Rendan and other heatstroke medicines in case of emergency.
Hydration: The human body is highly susceptible to dehydration in a high-temperature environment, so carry plenty of water with you and replenish it regularly.
Pay attention to diet: Choose light, easy-to-digest foods and avoid excessive intake of greasy, spicy and other stimulating foods. Eat more fruits and vegetables rich in water and vitamins.
Dress for breathability: Choose breathable, lightweight clothing and shoes to facilitate better heat dissipation. (Wear loose, light-colored clothing to reduce sunlight absorption and heat production.)
Anti-mosquito items: There are a lot of mosquitoes in summer, so carry anti-mosquito liquid, mosquito coils and other anti-mosquito items to prevent mosquito bites.
Summer camping may be full of challenges, but with this strategy, you will be able to cope more calmly and enjoy the good times of summer camping!
