Tent Preparation

  • Tree - Don't set up underneath, branches could possibly snap, sap could fall on tent +bird droppings (set tent 20m away from tree)
  • Rocks - Make sure they are not under the tent (clear ground) 
  • Tent - Set tent up correctly, be aware of surroundings (fire, other tents etc) 
  • Water - Tent needs to be 50m away from water 
  • Gully - Don't set up tent close to gully, chances of flooding 
  • Fire - 20m from tents, controlled, watch for wind 
  • Sun - Tent faces where it sets and rises 
  • Wind - If possible wind hits side of tent 
  • River - 50m from tents 
  • Slope - If cannot sleep on flat surface, head at top of the slop.
