A Safe Campsite
Written by Michael

I give the article 3/5 stars because of the in depth
explanations of how to ensure safety while picking a campsite. It does a good
job of targeting its audience, by making it interesting to read.
At the
beginning of the article it explains the importance of a safety kit, and to go
through the contents prior to your trip so you know where the different items
are and how to use them. It then goes into detail on how to pick a site for
your tent, and to look around for any dead trees limbs to make sure you’re
safe. It describes how you should keep your tent in a higher area, to avoid
rain rushing into your tent, but not too high because you will be exposed to
the elements. Although some of the tips seem like common sense things, I
believe it is important to remind people and people who are new to camping.
Finally the author mentions tips to survive lightning storms and communication
with others for safety.
In my
opinion I believe the article was well written, and gives good tips for new
campers or a refresher on things you should know before heading out in the
wilderness. It gave me things to think about, such as dead trees around a tent
that could potentially fall during an expected storm. If any criticism, the author
should have explained about the other dangerous situations he mentioned in his
introduction such as venom bites, wounds, etc.
