Why camping is always a good idea
We often get lost in the hustle and bustle of life.
You pick up a newspaper and it’s full of doom and gloom.
Which is why you could find yourself yearning for a trip away from the city and all of life’s problems.
We sometimes need to disconnect and relax somewhere beautiful and peaceful.
And camping provides the perfect solution: a journey away from home. Lao Tzu was once quoted as saying, “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” When you’re out in the woods, time slows down, you experience a calming effect and life begins to make sense again.
Here are key ways to take advantage of the outdoors.
Glamping
Most of us are drawn to nature because of the solitude and peace it provides. But let’s be honest, not everyone likes to get down and dirty. Which is why we love glamping you get to experience the best of both worlds: camping with a bit of glamour.
If you love nature but still want to enjoy a little luxury, you could invest in a high-tech recreational car. Back in the day, recreational cars had limited features, but nowadays they have LED lighting, touch screens and showers. Some people like it dirty while others like comfort, even though they’re out in the woods. A recreational car is the best solution. Just don’t spend too much time watching TV, otherwise it defeats the whole purpose of being outdoors. Whether you need to finance your recreational car through a loan or you have the budget, the end result of purchasing it will be worth it.
Gone with the wind
Tom and Jerry, salt and pepper, macaroni and cheese – some things in life just come in pairs. And of course, one can’t be in nature without experiencing some form of tranquillity. There’s nothing more fulfilling than being outdoors and being surrounded by the authentic beauty nature provides. It’s life’s perfect escape. You get to breathe in the cool crisp air, take in the spectacular views and spend more time listening to the birds chirping.
Explore
Camping provides the perfect opportunity to put your hiking boots on and take long walks on dusty, worn-out trails found in the woods. You’ll get to kill two birds with one stone, get a good workout and enjoy the perfect scenery. And you’ll be forced to put your phone down for a few minutes while exploring the land. There’ll be no time to spend hours scrolling through Instagram to find out what Rihanna wore last night. You’ll get to experience raw nature at its best.
Happiness
Many people rush off to pharmacies to get serotonin supplements to boost their mood. But you can boost your mood just by spending more time outdoors. Getting vitamin D from sunlight will help your brain produce the serotonin hormone which helps boost our mood and relaxes us.
Fireplace
When you’re out in the woods, it’s a perfect opportunity to build a fireplace and to bond with your friends and family. And you can experience this by sitting around a crackling fire, roasting marshmallows and sharing stories. Being around a fire provides an intimate ambience that’ll leave you relaxed and warm. Studies show our blood levels decrease when we stare into the flames, leaving us calmer.
Shine bright like a diamond
Coco Chanel once said, “The best things in life are free and the second-best are very expensive.” And she was right, nature gives us a beauty that’s priceless. And in life, you have to take a moment’s pause and smell the roses. When your days are full and hectic, there’s no time to spend looking at the sky and appreciating a perfect sunset or sunrise. And when you’re out in the woods, you’ll have all the time in the world to absorb the stunning views.
In big cities, the air is filled with pollution and you don’t get to see big bright stars. When you’re out camping, you’ll be exposed to the sheer beauty of the vast night sky with stars twinkling in the background.
Activities
There’s no reason to be bored when you’re outdoors. There are many fun-filled things to do. You can swim, fish, hike, canoe or spend time out in the sun playing water volleyball. These are all activities that encourage everyone to join in and have fun.
Grab a book
Imagine lying on a blanket in the woods with the soundtrack of the birds chirping and leaves rustling in the wind, and a book you can’t put down. What could be better than that? Just don’t lose yourself in the book entirely and forget to enjoy the scenery.
Camping can be fun and if you follow these tips you could make memories which could last you a lifetime.
