Ukukhempa etendeni kuyinto abantu abaningi abayilangazelelayo njalo ehlobo. Leli yithuba lokwamukela indawo yangaphandle, ukuphumula, ukuphumula nokuphila kalula. Kodwa ezinye izici zamatende zingaba yinselele. Iphutha elilodwa lingaholela ebusukwini obungakhululekile kakhulu ngaphansi kwezinkanyezi.
Lawa macebiso namaqhinga okukhempa etendeni azosiza abaqalayo ukuthi bazame ngaphandle kokwesaba - futhi angafundisa abakhempa abanolwazi into eyodwa noma ezimbili.
Indlela ofika ngayo ekamu izonquma ukuthi zingaki izinto ongaziletha, kuphawula uBob Duchesne waseBangor, ofaka isandla kukholomu yezindaba yansuku zonke yeGood Birding eBangor.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi kukhona ukuhamba ngebhakede, lapho uthutha khona yonke impahla yakho (kufaka phakathi amatende) uye endaweni yokukhempa ngezinyawo. Kulokhu, ukhawulelwe kulokho ongakuthwala. Ngenhlanhla, izinkampani eziningi zenze impahla elula ngokukhethekile yalolu hlobo lokukhempa, kufaka phakathi ama-compact sleeping pads, ama-micro stove, kanye nama-water filtration units amancane. Ngakho-ke uma uthenga futhi upakisha izinto ngendlela ehlelekile, usengathola induduzo endaweni yasemaphandleni.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi yilokho okubizwa ngokuthi “ukukhempa ngemoto”, lapho ungashayela khona imoto yakho ngqo endaweni yokukhempa. Kulokhu, ungapakisha yonke into ngaphandle kwesinki yasekhishini. Lolu hlobo lokukhempa luvumela ukusetshenziswa kwamatende amakhulu, ayinkimbinkimbi, izihlalo zokukhempa ezigoqekayo, izibani, imidlalo yebhodi, ama-grill, ama-cooler, nokuningi.
Endaweni ethile phakathi nokukhempa kukhona induduzo yokukhempa ngezikebhe, lapho ungagwedla khona uye endaweni yokukhempa. Lolu hlobo lokukhempa lukhawulela izimpahla zakho kulokho ongakufaka ngokunethezeka nangokuphephile ekhempini yakho. Kunjalo nangezinye izindlela zokuhamba, njengezikebhe zomkhumbi, amahhashi noma ama-ATV. Inani lezimpahla zokukhempa ongaziletha lincike ekutheni ufika kanjani ekhempini.
UJohn Gordon waseKennebunk weluleka ukuthi uma uthenge itende elisha, cabanga ukulihlanganisa ngaphambi kokuya ehlane. Libeke egcekeni lakho ngosuku olunelanga bese ufunda ukuthi zonke izingongolo, indwangu, amafasitela ane-mesh, izintambo ze-bungee, i-Velcro, ama-zipper kanye nezingongolo zihlangana kanjani. Ngaleyo ndlela, ngeke ukhathazeke kakhulu uma ungekho ekhaya ukuze ulimise. Lokhu kuzokunikeza nethuba lokulungisa noma yiziphi izingongolo zetende eziphukile noma indwangu edabukile ngaphambi kokuba uyidinge ngempela.
Iningi lezindawo zokukhempa eziqokiwe kanye nezindawo zokukhempa zinemithetho ebalulekile okufanele ilandelwe, eminye yayo engase ingabonakali kangako, ikakhulukazi kulabo abaya emcimbini okokuqala. Isibonelo, ezinye izindawo zokukhempa zidinga abantu abakhempayo ukuthi bathole imvume yomlilo ngaphambi kokuqala umlilo. Ezinye zinezikhathi ezithile zokungena kanye nokuphuma. Kungcono ukwazi le mithetho kusenesikhathi ukuze ulungele. Hlola iwebhusayithi yomnikazi wendawo yokukhempa noma yomphathi, noma uxhumane nabo ngqo nge-imeyili noma ngocingo.
Uma usufikile endaweni yokukhempa, cabanga ngokucophelela ngokuthi ubeka kuphi itende lakho. Khetha indawo eyisicaba futhi ugweme izingozi ezifana nokulenga amagatsha, kweluleka uHazel Stark, umnikazi wesikole sangaphandle saseMaine. Futhi, namathela endaweni ephakeme uma kungenzeka.
“Qiniseka ukuthi awuwehlisi itende lakho phansi, ikakhulukazi uma imvula ibikezelwa,” kusho uJulia Gray wase-Oran. “Ngaphandle kokuthi ufuna ukulala embhedeni ovuzayo.”
Zibone unenhlanhla uma ukwazi ukukhempa eMaine ngaphandle kwemvula okungenani kanye. I-Pine State yaziwa ngesimo sezulu sayo esishintsha ngokushesha. Ngenxa yalesi sizathu, kungaba ukuhlakanipha ukusebenzisa ungqimba lwangaphandle lwetende. Impukane yetende ivame ukuboshwa phezu kwetende kanye nemiphetho kude netende kuzo zonke izinhlangothi. Lesi sikhala esiphakathi kodonga lwetende nezimpukane sisiza ukunciphisa inani lamanzi angena etendeni.
Noma kunjalo, lapho izinga lokushisa lehla ebusuku, amaconsi amanzi angakheka ezindongeni zetende, ikakhulukazi eduze kwephansi. Lokhu kuqongelela kwamazolo akunakugwenywa. Ngenxa yalesi sizathu, iBethany Preble ka-Ellsworth itusa ukugcina impahla yakho kude nezindonga zetende. Ngaphandle kwalokho, ungase uvuke ubona isikhwama esigcwele izingubo ezimanzi. Utusa futhi ukuletha ithawula elengeziwe, elingafakwa ukuze kwakheke indawo yokukhosela eyengeziwe ngaphandle kwetende uma lina kakhulu - njengokudlela ngaphansi.
Ukubeka unyawo (ucezu lwendwangu noma izinto ezifanayo) ngaphansi kwetende lakho nakho kungenza umehluko, kusho uSusan Keppel waseWinterport. Akugcini nje ngokunezela ukumelana namanzi okwengeziwe, kodwa futhi kuvikela itende ezintweni ezibukhali njengamatshe nezinti, kukusiza ukuthi uhlale ufudumele futhi kwandise impilo yetende lakho.
Wonke umuntu unombono wakhe ngokuthi hlobo luni lombhede olufanelekela kakhulu ukumisa amatende. Abanye abantu basebenzisa omatilasi bomoya, kanti abanye bakhetha ama-foam pad noma ama-crib. Akukho ukusethwa "okulungile", kodwa kuvame ukuba mnandi kakhulu ukubeka uhlobo oluthile lokufaka phakathi kwakho nomhlabathi, ikakhulukazi eMaine lapho amatshe nezimpande ezingenalutho kungatholakala khona cishe yonke indawo.
“Ngithole ukuthi uma indawo yakho yokulala ingcono, kulapho ulwazi luba ngcono khona,” kusho uKevin Lawrence waseManchester, eNew Hampshire. “Ezimweni ezibandayo, ngivame ukubeka phansi umata ovaliwe bese ngibeka izingubo zethu zokulala.”
EMaine, kusihlwa kuvame ukubanda, ngisho naphakathi nehlobo. Kungcono ukuhlela amazinga okushisa apholile kunalokho okulindele. ULawrence uncoma ukubeka ingubo phezu kwephedi yokulala noma umatrasi ukuze uvikele ukushisa, bese ukhwela esikhwameni sokulala. Ngaphezu kwalokho, u-Alison MacDonald Murdoch waseGouldsboro umboza phansi kwetende lakhe ngengubo yoboya esusa umswakama, esebenza njengesivikelo, futhi kulula ukuhamba kuyo.
Gcina ithoshi, isibani sekhanda, noma isibani endaweni elula ukuyithola phakathi nobusuku, njengoba kungenzeka ukuthi kuzodingeka uye endlini yokugezela. Yazi indlela eya endlini yangasese eseduze noma endaweni yokugezela. Abanye baze bafake nezibani zelanga noma zebhethri endlini yangaphandle ukuze zibonakale kakhulu.
Amabhere amnyama aseMaine nezinye izilwane zasendle zikhangwa kalula yiphunga lokudla. Ngakho-ke gcina ukudla ngaphandle kwetende futhi uqiniseke ukuthi ukugcine kwenye indawo ebusuku. Uma ukhempa emotweni, lokho kusho ukubeka ukudla emotweni. Uma uhamba ngebhakede, ungase ufune ukulengisa ukudla kwakho esikhwameni sokugcina izihlahla. Ngesizathu esifanayo, amakha nezinye izinto ezinephunga elinamandla kufanele zigwenywe ematendeni.
Futhi, gcina imililo kude netende lakho. Nakuba itende lakho lingase lingabi nomlilo, alikwazi ukumelana nomlilo. Izinhlansi zomlilo wasekamu zingashisa kalula imigodi kuzo.
Izimpukane ezimnyama, omiyane kanye namakhala kuyizinto ezibangela ukucasha eMaine, kodwa uma ugcina itende lakho livaliwe kahle, lizoba yindawo ephephile. Uma izimpukane zingena etendeni lakho, funa iziphu ezivulekile noma imigodi ongazivala okwesikhashana ngetheyiphu uma ungenayo ikhithi efanele ye-patch. Kodwa-ke, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi uqaphe kangakanani ukungena etendeni ngokushesha futhi uzifake ngemuva kwakho, ezinye izimpukane zingangena.
“Letha ithoshi elihle etendeni bese ubulala wonke umiyane nekhala ozibonayo ngaphambi kokulala,” kusho uDuchesner. “Umiyane ovunguzayo endlebeni yakho wanele ukukuhlanyisa.”
Uma isimo sezulu sidinga isimo sezulu esishisayo nesomile, cabanga ngokuzibopha izindonga zetende eziqinile ukuze umoya ugeleze ngeminyango enezimbobo namafasitela. Uma itende limiswe izinsuku ezimbalwa, lokhu kuzokhipha noma yiliphi iphunga elidala. Cabanga futhi nokususa izimpukane zetende (noma isembozo semvula) ebusuku obucacile, obungenamvula.
“Khumula isembozo semvula ubheke isibhakabhaka,” kusho uCari Emrich waseGuildford. “Kufanele ngokuphelele ingozi [yemvula].”
Cabanga ngezinto ezincane ezingenza itende lakho libe likhululekile kakhudlwana, kungaba umcamelo owengeziwe noma isibani esilenga ophahleni. URobin Hanks Chandler waseWaldo wenza okuningi ukugcina phansi kwetende lakhe kuhlanzekile. Okokuqala, wafaka izicathulo zakhe esikhwameni sikadoti sepulasitiki ngaphandle komnyango. Wayegcina nekhaphethi elincane noma ithawula elidala ngaphandle kwetende ukuze anyathele kulo lapho ekhumula izicathulo zakhe.
UTom Brown Boutureira waseFreeport uvame ukunamathisela intambo yezingubo ngaphandle kwetende lakhe, lapho elenga khona amathawula nezingubo ukuze zome. Umndeni wami uhlala uphethe umshanelo wesandla ukuze ushanele itende ngaphambi kokulipakisha. Futhi, uma itende limanzi lapho silipakisha, siyalikhipha bese silimisa elangeni lapho sifika ekhaya. Lokhu kuvimbela isikhunta ekulimazeni indwangu.
