Many are. drawn away.from the bustle of reg- x ular life, tempted by the lure . ofa quieter, more. relaxed : Hfestyle, 7 Whether you backpack into wilderness areas or pitch a tent close to town, there are safety precautions to consider. Tf you are anfaniiliar with sleeping and camping out- doors, it will be useful to in- vest some time to research the most suitable campsite, the right equipment and clothing and preparing and storing food safely. You can do that by con- tacting Parks Canada. Rep- resentatives there can in- ~ form you of the risksipeach | national park. They‘can also ~- tell you if theres a fire ban. on, requiring you to pack Nek your Coleman ” stove” for pking ole ‘But there z are some haz. _ards to camping in a natural environment. It’s up to the campers to know. about “those and. take adequate measures.» ‘. Fire safety is an area of particular concern. Infor- mation from the former federal Department of Con- sumer and Corporate Af- fairs states that every year, people either lose their lives or are very seriosly injured when their tents catch fire during a camping holiday. Here are some guidelines to follow: ‘e Never use matches, candles or any kind of open flame in or near.a tent ¢ Build camp fires down- wind and several metres away from the tent. Always put out the camp fire com- pletely before leaving camp or going to sleep © Never refuel lamps, heaters or: stoves inside a tent. 6 Never cook inside a tent ‘e Use eme caution when’ handling fuel-pow-: ered lanterns and heaters “inside a tent. Itis better to. g ~ use battery-operated equip- | cocoon caning race er ne A ice na ‘ment whenever possible ‘e Extinguish or turn off all lanterns before going to sleep ® Never smoke in a tent e Never store flammable liquids inside a tent Advance preparation Even purchasing the most suitable equipment for “a camping trip can be con- fusing. Stu. Heard, an instructor with the Parks and Recre- ation program at Lakeland College in Vermilion, Al- berta, advises shopping for camping. supplies with an experienced camper. He also suggests renting or borrowing. equipment.as a good way to discover what is required without making a large initial outlay of cash. This also allows you to test the experience. before in- ~ vesting much money in it. Jey@uves. uvic. ca. Food safety Purchase and preparation of meals for a camping trip can create dangers if you do not take the necessary pre- cautions. “Fresh meat and the bones left over can attract bears and raccoons,” said -Heard. “When backpacking in the wilderness, put your food and garbage up high and not too close to your . tent. Food should be pre-- pared a good 30 or 50 me- tres away, So aromas will not get on your tent. We teacha triangle theory — have your food in one point, cook at one point and have your tent in another point. You also do not want to pour waste near a tent site, as that can also attract predators.” : eating foods containing retin Tine 2 22, 7 p.m. at the sane Park Field House.
