Fansipan Part 6: Camping tips and tricks

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

From: http://www.wavelengthphotography.com.au/Bush&AlpineResources/Skills/TipsTricks.asp

Tips & Tricks
- An unstable stove can be pegged down using tent pegs to increase stability.

- Whisperlite stoves can be legged through the wire legs

- gas stoves which attach directly to the gas bottle can have three or four long tent pegs placed vertically around the pot to prevent it from sliding off. NEVER allow the peg to touch the bottle, as the peg may heat up and transfer heat to the gas bottle.

- I keep my 365ml Shellite fuel bottle in a neoprene (wet-suit material) stubby holder or can holder to protect it from damage. If you were snow camping with a gas stove using long narrow gas bottle (such as Primus brand bottles) then you could use the stubby holder to stop the gas from freezing while on the snow.

Camping Tricks & Tips

By Anne Peterson

As the warm weather rolls around, camping excursions are planned, tents are being aired out, and campers everywhere are itching to set out for the wilderness once again. This season promises to be a busy one, with more campers and RVers roaming the country’s campgrounds than ever before. But before you venture out, consider this list of camping tips that will enhance your experience.

• Drink plenty of water when camping in high altitudes (over 7,000 feet). Three to five quarts a day will prevent dehydration and high altitude sickness, which cause headaches, nausea and muscle cramps, and makes you susceptible to hypothermia and frostbite. Not a fun way to spend a vacation.

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

Today we received the shirt from SoftTouch. Really nice quality and comfortable enough for us to wear for the climb. We also plan to do some exercise today, probably play a game of badminton or two.
