Surrounded by mountains, rivers, forests and open spaces and willingly
surrendering to the elements of nature, stress and complicated lifestyles
quickly disappear. It is true that life becomes much simpler, more relaxed and
pure when camping out in the open plains or woods.
Just putting up a tent for the night in a registered nature park, which may be
equipped with basic amenities like showers and a small convenience store, is
already enough to transport anyone into a different world. It is no wonder that
some people get addicted to this uncomplicated way of life and want to explore
it even further. Those are the true adventurers, the ones that will only pack
the most essential gear and head out into the wilderness to find peace and
tranquility, and often themselves.
Experienced campers know they require important survival skills and intense preparations to have a wonderful, yet safe journey. It would be dangerous and irresponsible to yourself and your companions to grab a tent, sleeping bag, stove and food, and head out the door. There are many dangers that lurk in unknown territory and getting lost can happen faster than you think. To avoid accidents and disasters, responsible campers should acquire the necessary skills before making reservations and obtaining permits and be fully prepared before taking on their great adventures. They not only owe that to themselves, but also to those who care about them.
Finding your way without street signs
Maybe
it is a leftover gene from our caveman ancestors, but many people love nature
and enjoy being outdoors. We smell the flowers, watch the birds and some of us
will even pack a knapsack and hitch up a mountain to be embraced by a beautiful
landscape. Others are even more addicted and will plan an annual nature
escape with the entire family. They will collect their tent, provisions, outdoor
gear and gadgets and head out into the woods, assuming they are thoroughly
prepared.

There are countless reasons why campers get lost, and most of the time they are
completely avoidable. Some of the most common mistake hikers and campers make is
to be unprepared and not pack a map and compass, just because they assume they
are safe on clearly marked trails. It may be true that nothing unusual will
happen when following clearly the marked routes, but it would not be the first
time that travelling companions are not paying attention and unintentionally
miss their turn-off at a road crossing.
It is important that everyone who wants to safely enjoy their camping trips
should learn basic navigation techniques, including reading a map and compass.
Furthermore, is it important to sharpen concentration and observation skills.
Indeed, trained navigators use all their senses in the wilderness. Observing and
detecting essential clues, smelling and also hearing even the faintest sounds
are all key attributes that cannot be ignored. An unusual rushing sound in the
distance may actually be a river that is marked on your area map, and all you
need to find your way safely back to civilization.
Whenever exploring the outdoors, make sure you pack the right map, that it is waterproofed and that you know how to read it. Also, be familiar with its scale. Today, more advanced navigation products are available to adventurous travelers, including global positioning systems (GPS). Unfortunately, as sophisticated as these gizmos are, they do have serious limitations and ask yourself, what do you do when mountains obscure your satellite signal, or your battery runs low? In that case I hope you did pack a map as a back-up!
