1 Decide whether to move the tent position according to the terrain
If you are camping on a ridge, you should be aware of wind and lightning. When you are in the valley, you should watch for rain. Watch out for falling rocks and lightning as you approach the wall. Second, consider whether it can be safe in bad weather. If it is judged that the original tent location is generally not dangerous, prepare for bad weather such as tent safety inspection and strengthening measures. If security is poor, you may want to consider relocating the tent.
2 Tent security inspection and reinforcement measures
Whether you are waiting for the weather to clear up in place, or relocating the camp, you cannot ignore the safety inspection and reinforcement measures of the tent that has been set up, whether the ropes are taut, whether there are problems with the pillars, and whether the drainage channels are correct. Proper excavation etc. should be checked in detail. If you feel that the control rope alone is not very stable, you may wish to strengthen it with a rock ancient or a mountaineering pick. If a strong wind is forecast, the tent must be fixed with a thin hemp rope or climbing rope to increase the strength of the control rope and prevent the tent from being swept away by the strong wind.
The easiest thing to overlook is to actually inspect the tent for damage. Even if there is a small hole or gap in the tent tarpaulin, it will become large or torn when the strong wind hits, and it is easily swept away by the strong wind, so be sure to pay more attention.
3 Pack the tent
In order to avoid panic caused by the worsening weather, the cleaning work in the tent should be done in advance. First of all, in case of being flooded by rain, in order to prevent clothes, hiking shoes and other equipment from getting wet, they should be put into plastic bags, and excess items should be put into backpacks. Because of floods, things tend to get lost in chaos due to panics etc.
In addition, sharp items such as knives should be stored carefully to avoid scratching the tent, because when the wind gets stronger, the small damage of the tent will also be pulled up, which may cause the tent to have to be abandoned. .
4 ways to deal with severe weather
It started to rain and the wind picked up. How long will this severe weather last? At this time, I must be very uneasy. However, if all the preparations are in place for severe weather, it is recommended that you make up your mind to hold out until the weather clears. Also, be sure to wait for the radio to listen to the weather forecast, draw a weather map, and try to understand how the weather changes.
In addition, often go out in shifts to check whether the rope is firm, whether there is water ingress, etc. When going out to check, you should also observe the changes in the clouds and the sky.
