Camping
Camping Tips
- Always lock your camping trailer when you leave the vicinity
- Avoid camping alone in isolated areas
- Avoid leaving your camping gear (cook stove, lantern, ice chest, chairs, etc.) out in the open unattended
- Avoid walking alone at night
- Before taking weapons with you, be aware of regulations. In many parks and wildlife refuges, it is against the law to carry weapons
- Carry a spare lock so you can use storage containers available at many parks
- Familiarize yourself with local emergency locations and phone numbers in case of accidents or crime
- Get to know your neighbors and help protect each others' belongings
- Install a locking device on the trailer towing hitch, so your trailer cannot be towed away
- Park your vehicle so it cannot be blocked by another vehicle in case of an emergency
- Report any suspicious activities and crimes to the proper law enforcement authorities
- Use a chain and lock to secure propane tanks, extra fuel tanks, portable generators, spare tires, bicycles, etc.
