IF a SITE is available - USE IT. |
no prepared site? | look for a low impact campsite - on sandy or hard surfaces. use an existing one rather than cutting out or flattening a new one. 
PREPARED CAMPSITE avoid digging trenches. a properly sited tent does not require trenches around it. |
| If possible try to camp not too far from a water source. |
TENTS | use a modern tent, with a floor and poles. |
beware of dead branches | when pitching a tent, try to avoid sites beneath tall trees. winds can cause dead branches to fall on your tent. | | | Avoid dry watercourses as they may become swift running creeks when it rains. |
