Tips for Camping
» Plan not only to take a first aid kit, snakebite kit or bug
repellent, but also learn how to use them.
» Never pack wet or damps tents in your bags, as they are prone to
decay and rot.
» It's advised to campers to leave the campsite better than you found
it; any waste or rope bits etc. should be taken out.
» Choose a proper campsite to minimize the ravage to vegetation or
natural environment. Better to choose a non-vegetated area, may be sand or
rock beaches.
» Try to keep your group size small. It will limit the damage you can
or will do to that area.
» You also should try to keep the natural splendor untarnished. Main
aim is to avoid spoiling the marine life while launching or landing your
kayaks or canoes.
» Never cut branches or tree down. Ensure keeping unnecessary noise to
a minimum.
» You should choose a tent strong enough to resist the strong blows of
the wind.
