Tents should be pitched on hard, flat ground as much as possible, not on riverbanks or dry riverbeds. It is best to have the tent face facing south or southeast with a view of the early morning sun, and try not to camp on ridges or hilltops.

It is best to have the tent face facing south or southeast with a view of the early morning sun, and try not to camp on ridges or hilltops.

At least have alcove land and do not pitch next to a stream so that it will not be too cold at night.

The entrance to the tent should be windward, and the tent should be away from hillsides with rolling rocks.

Choose a camp site with good drainage such as sand, grass, or rocky debris. To avoid flooding when it rains, a drainage trench should be dug directly below the edge of the roof.

To prevent insects from entering, spread a circle of kerosene around the tent.

Camping

When setting up camp, don't be in a hurry to use camping pegs, trying to finish pitching in the shortest time sometimes causes cracking of camping pegs or loosening of metal rings, it is better to carry a three-inch long aluminum tube for backup.

Different manufacturers have different designs of camping pegs, from six to eight inches, T, I or half-moon, and spiral pegs for hard, rocky or snowy ground. Of course, tree trunks or branches and roots near the campsite can also be used as camp pegs.

After the camp is built, put the unused items into the tent sleeve. The loose joints of the camping pegs should be taped tightly. If you want to have a good dream in the mountainous area, you'd better pay attention to some seams such as corners and joints of camping poles, and strengthen them so that there won't be any problem even in bad weather.

The corners of the tent should be fixed with pegs. Before going to bed at night, check whether all the fires are extinguished and whether the tent is fixed firmly. Before folding and packing the tent, dry it first and then wipe it clean, when the snow period, you can use the snow block to wipe clean, do not dirty the sleeping bag, or turn the tent upside down to dry and wipe clean before closing.
