Found that the weather will be a sign of deterioration, and the understanding may experience a few hours later when the storm of conditions, we must first consider the tents, a safe and secure. According to the type of inclement weather, camping places, topography and other factors, the measures taken to cope with the difference, followed by introduction of measures to cope with adverse weather conditions.
2. According to topographic position of deciding whether to move tents
If it is camping in the ridge should pay attention to the wind and thunder and lightning, rain in the valley should pay attention to, in the cliffs near the falling rock and thunder and lightning should pay attention. Secondly, we must consider, under adverse weather conditions, is able to ensure safety. Tent to determine the original location of the event generally not dangerous, tents, security checks were conducted to strengthen the measures to cope with adverse weather preparations. If security is not reliable, then it is necessary to consider moving tent location.
In the mountains, first consider the case of tents erected in the ridge. Positive to the wind over the ridge, this tent will withstand wind, especially in the saddle between two peaks positions, such as strong winds due to emergence of a turn, and sometimes you can be easily uprooted tents blown away. Therefore, consideration should be given tents to move the wind beneath the slope, or depression and so on, the wind affect a smaller place.
Also, the ridge on the rain probably will not suffer due to the volume of water flows caused by soaring valley danger, but not forget that one of the most vulnerable to lightning location of the invasion. Unlike the disasters caused by lightning storms, anyone who has been struck by lightning, non-wounded or dead. Note that could be avoided if there is a direct lightning hit the tents or personnel. Therefore, should pay particular attention to the tent moved to safe place.
Erection of tents in the valley when not wait without saying, the first of attention to the stream was swollen. Occur nearly every year happen due to surge of water was trapped in the accident. The parties concerned have not thought about my dreams, because of surge of water was trapped in the tent can not get out bar! Originally, the principle of erecting tents, i.e. close to the river or the water in the vicinity is strictly prohibited. Even if your local weather very well, due to the upper reaches of rain, may cause the danger of water surge, but once the river was swollen to its destructive power is amazing, therefore, the valley camping should have some observations.
Whether in the valley a place suitable for camping, as long as you can understand the careful observation. Carefully observe the situation of river erosion of rocks and color differences, the case of trees and bushes and so on, when the water level will be to understand which zone rose. The campsite is located in the valley, be sure to give full attention to making a decision.
In the early spring and early summer when the snow melts should also beware of a large number of sand and gravel mix the flood. As Sekkoku or fallen trees were blocking the water will disappear after the sudden dumping of the barrier out. Therefore, this season when camping in the valley, should be more pay more attention to be appropriate. Because of its powerful flood and dams, as enormous.
In the case of tents set up near the rock wall do? The first line should consider whether caused due to rain loosened rocks, caused by falling rock. Comic due to falling rock caused by falling rock, the mountains will be the formation of an avalanche, it should be noted. If there are rock located in the vicinity of the ridge, it can easily induce lightning strikes, so be careful.
As noted above, careful observation of one's own position terrain, the weather deteriorated if we believe that there is danger, must be considered to move the tent more secure place.
3. Tent security checks and to strengthen measures to
Both in the same place waiting for bad weather turned fine, or the transfer of camping are not neglecting to take proper tents have been carried out safety checks and strengthen measures to really tighten the rope cord, pillar availability problems, it really drains dig properly and so on, should be carefully examined. To suggest that not only control the rope firmly established, may wish to use the ancient rock or mountain climbing further reinforced Fan Gao. Services, such as the fairly strong wind forecast, then you must use thin hemp rope or rope climbing rope, etc. to increase control over the power of a fixed tent to prevent the tent was swept away by strong winds.
The most likely to be negligent, is the effective check to see whether the damaged tents. Tent tarpaulin on even if there is a hole or small gaps in the Economic and strong winds hit the time will be bigger, or tear, as well as vulnerable to strong winds swept away, it must pay more attention.
4. Tent inside the pack finishing
In order to avoid deterioration due to weather, panic, they should first clean up in advance of finishing the work within the tent. First of all, consider the case of Gone with the Wind into the rain caused flooding, when, in order to prevent clothing, climbing shoes and other equipment damp, it should be into plastic bags, the excess of income items should be backpack. Because of flooding, they tend to panic due to reasons such as missing items in the chaos.
In addition, the knife and other sharp objects should be well received careful attention in order to avoid scratches tent, because a stronger wind, the tent will be moving sharply Great little damage is likely to lead to the results of tents had to be abandoned.
The weather before it gets worse, completed well in advance the meals is also important. In the harsh climate, water is not only difficult, and in the wind in the cooking is also very dangerous. He might be overturned because of pot was burned, or even lead to fires; in harsh conditions under which it is difficult to smoothly carry out the work of cooking.
5. Through the harsh climate of the method of
Has begun to rain, the wind has strengthened, and that bad weather will continue until when, at this time living in the hearts of its territory necessarily somewhat uneasy. However, if all preparations to cope with adverse weather conditions are in place, then the appropriate determination to adhere to wait until the weather became fine. At the same time, we must wait for him to listen to the radio broadcast weather report, and draw weather maps, in order to try to understand the weather changes.
In addition, we must always shift out to control the rope is solid, with or without flooding and other concerns. Going out for inspection, and should be inspected by the way the clouds change in outlook to look up King.
Hiding in the tent had been fixed, it is likely to cause dull, boring atmosphere and feel tired. Therefore, it may be regarded as a rare opportunity for a break, to sing, tell stories, happy to spend this period of time, these methods are described in the previous chapter. Another example is management of food of the people, re-check the food program and other work within their own copies, but also may well be one way to spend a good time.
6. Fled the tent
As the weather is extremely bad, it may be faced with the situation is bound to abandon the tent. Only at this time to complete all other preparations, awaiting the arrival of a moment. In preparation for the occasion, be sure to check whether there are available near the mountain refuge huts, caves or forests, and should confirm the road, wear hiking shoes and they are all armed with readily available from the site in order to complete preparations.
Once declared abandoned tents, must be in the extremely dangerous situation. Rope should be used to avoid the team lost, and really pay attention prudent action to prevent Lost routes. At that time, also the team spirit to face the biggest test of time.
