Tent Prep

  • Trees - don't set up directly under trees. Beware of branches snapping, sap and bird dropping when camping near trees.
  • Rocks - don't set your tent up with rocks underneath.
  • Tents - set up your tent correctly, be aware of your surroundings, be at least 50m from water.
  • Gully - dont set your tent up in a gully as rain may cause flooding.
  • Fire - at least 20m from tents, controlled, watch for wind.
  • Sun - where it rises and sets
  • Wind - if possible wind should hit side of tent.
  • River - 50m from water.
  • slope - if flat ground is unavialable sleep on the slope with your head on the high side.
