When choosing a location for your tent, it is important that (tell at least 3 things).

What is Flat Ground: Look for a level area. It’s more comfortable for sleeping and prevents you from sliding around during the night.

  • Avoid Low Spots: Don’t set up in a depression or low-lying area. Rainwater tends to collect there, and you don’t want to wake up in a puddle.
  • Stay Away from Water: Keep a good distance from rivers, lakes, and streams. Water levels can rise unexpectedly, and damp ground doesn’t make for a cozy night.
  • Mind the Slope: If you’re on a slope, position your tent so your head is uphill. It helps you sleep more comfortably and prevents rainwater from flowing into your tent.
  • Consider Sun and Shade: Think about where the sun will be in the morning. If it’s going to be scorching, a bit of shade can be a relief.
  • Natural Windbreaks: Trees, bushes, or rocks can act as windbreaks. They provide a shield from gusty winds and keep you warmer.
  • Safety First: Check for potential hazards like dead trees or loose rocks that could pose a risk if they fall.
  • Respect Leave No Trace: Follow principles like minimizing your impact on the environment. Avoid trampling on fragile plants and don’t disturb wildlife.
