camping safety tips
- When camping build a fire pit. Use rocks as outer walls. Never use wood, if the wood you used rolls and it's on fire, you could set the woods on fire or your campsite.
- When camping always watch the campfire, make sure you don't let it get out of hand.
- Never play in the campfire.
- Never throw empty bottles or metal cans in a campfire. The contents could explode. Also it is considered littering.
- Always make sure your insect repellent candles and lamps are put out before you go to sleep at night.
