As winter sets in, more people are embracing the unique charm of winter camping.

A cup of coffee and the serene landscape can wash away a week’s stress.

However, getting lost in the romance of camping can lead to a fatal accident if one is not careful.

According to the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, there have been a total of 173 fires related to camping in the past three years, a quarter of which were caused by electrical tools.

During the winter, strong winds necessitate a safe distance between tents and fires. To prevent leakage, heating and lighting equipment should be thoroughly checked. Additionally, the location of fire extinguishers should be known in case of a fire.

Sleeping with a charcoal fire inside the tent due to the cold can lead to fatal accidents, so caution is needed.

Using charcoal, portable burners, or heating devices inside a sealed tent can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath, and general weakness, and it can be fatal in severe cases.

Avoiding excessive drinking and regularly ventilating the tent is essential to prevent this. Also, don’t forget to bring a carbon monoxide detector before leaving for camping.
