Camping Safety
- Choose suitable campsites. Never set your tents on cliffs/steep slopes or in the vicinity of military firing range or amid dense vegetation. Also consider whether the campsites are under the impact of waves and mountain torrents. It is preferable to camp at the campsites provided by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department;
- Pay attention to the fire danger warning signals. Don't let any tinders burn unattended. Before leaving the campsite, put out the fire to prevent the embers from glowing again;
- Pay attention to the fire danger warning signals. Don't start a fire if the weather is dry;
- When setting the tents, make sure that the pegs are completely pressed into the ground. Pull out all the pegs when leaving the campsite.
- Fasten some colorful tags to the guy lines to avoid stumble in the night;
- Use folding knives carefully to avoid careless injury;
- Place cooking utensils on a steady surface to avoid accidents caused by the overturned stove;
- Bring along first-aid kit and make sure that there are group members who have first-aid knowledge;
- Never cook inside the tent.
