Passage Three
Whether you are hiking through the magnificent redwoods of Northern California, sleeping under the brilliant stars of the Texas sky, or watching the sun rise across the rocky cliffs of Maine, experiencing the outdoor world can be inspiring, thrilling, and deeply satisfying. And one of the best ways to enjoy the abundant gifts of the natural world is simple, inexpensive, and available to almost everyone. Let' s go camping!
When you camp， you create a “home away from home” in the fresh air. You don' t need a lot of fancy equipment to enjoy camping. What you need is simply a tent large enough for your family. Practice setting up the tent at home to make sure you are familiar with the process before you go camping.
Once you find a good site, it' s time to set up camp. Your first job is to set up your tent. Remove all sticks and rocks from the area. Spread a tarp(防水帆布) over the area where your tent will sit. Set up the tent and be sure to stake it down firmly, even if the weather is mild. Otherwise, strong wind can blow your tent away.
Next, you' ll need some firewood for a campfire. It gathering wood is illegal at your campground, you must buy it at the camp store. It gathering dead wood is permitted, go on a firewood-hunting journey and bring in a good supply of wood for your campsite. Pile the wood safely away from the campfire ring and where no one will trip over the wood or hurt his or her legs on sharp branches.
Being a responsible camper requires that you follow the rules of the campground. Do not burn food or plastic in your campfire. Make sure that you leave your campsite in good condition for the next campers. Just before leaving the site, make a final check to be certain that your campfire is completely out. Pour water on the ashes just to be sale!
