When we build a tent, especially when we build a tent in the wild, we must pay attention to the choice of location, because it is very important. Only when the location is well chosen, the tent we build is safe. Below I will introduce to you the selection method when building a tent.
If you are in a higher open area, you should move down; if the place you are in is low and humid, you should move up. The ideal location should be a higher place that can be protected from wind and rain, and is not flooded by mountain torrents, and this place will not be threatened by falling rocks or avalanches.
The density of hot air is less than that of cold air, so cold air often gathers at the bottom of the valley. When the temperature is low, it is easy to form wet fog and frost. In some areas, there are many platforms along the hillside that receive rainwater. It is relatively humid there, and other parts of the hillside are relatively dry.
The ideal location should also be close to the water source, surrounded by sufficient available forests. Don't build the tent too close to the water source, otherwise it is very easy to be harassed by mosquitoes, and the sound of running water will interfere with your judgment. You will not notice the danger coming, or you will miss the rescue team.
You should find the height of the river bank where the maximum flow of flood water can reach - mountain streams can turn into turbulent rapids within minutes after heavy rain, and the water level can rise by five meters within an hour! In flat and wide areas, floods can even exceed the river channel, and the heavy rains from the surrounding mountains and rivers can easily turn into rolling floods and rush towards you without any warning. You should choose a place that is flat and without too many rocks, so that you have enough space to send a distress signal and it is easy for rescuers to find it.
