– Avoid peaks, deep valleys, plateaus, springs, torrents, lakes, tall lonely trees.
– Prefer forested areas, which are protected from the wind and do not have a large slope.
– Organize the camp after consultation with your friends in a circle or horseshoe or curve for better functionality.
– Designate a toilet area strictly away from the tents and the available sources (at least 80 meters).

– Be careful during the preparation of food not to turn the pot over and spill it on your things. In general, protect your hearth from the wind and people passing by.
– Spread wet materials from the canyon at a short distance from the tent in a way that they dry as best as possible, so you can use them again the next day or collect them to leave.
– During the night stay warm wearing what you have available if needed. Socks, gloves, hat, double fleece.
– Pack your things and the tent after they have somewhat dried from the liquefied water vapor of the night.
