"Hi this is David Jackel on behalf of Expert Village, and I am here to talk to you about picking a spot for a camp site in the Appalachian Mountains. Now, a camp site is an ideal shelter. It is more permanent, and you want things in a camp site to be set up in such a way that you can take care of all of your basic necessities. As with any shelter, you want your camp site to be a place that is relatively safe from the rain. So under some trees, as long as you are not directly under really tall trees where branches could come crashing down on you is a good spot. It is also good to be in a breezy area. You want your camp site to be on a flat area so that way you can easily set up a tent and you do not have to worry about objects rolling on top of you. You do not want there to be too much vegetation because you are going to want a fire at your camp site, and if there is a lot of vegetation all over the place, then you have to worry about the fire spreading accidentally, then you are in big trouble. You do want to have a good source of sticks and firewood around you. You want trees around you so that you will have some protection from the rain and also so that you can hang up your backpack to keep your food safe from animals at night. You do not want to be directly under a tree because then you could be subject to falling branches and stuff like that. Do not set up your camp site too close to the main trail because you are going to want your privacy, plus you never really know who is coming up or down the trail. In general, it is to have your camp site be close enough to the main trail that you can find help if you need it, but not so close that you have anything to worry about."
