Having the freedom to decide where one bows one's head. To build a home in 30 minutes. To live anywhere in one's own. To be out in the fresh air all day and night. To enjoy the indescribable atmosphere and comfort of campgrounds. To gaze at the stars at night. To make new friendships or strengthen existing ones. These are the things that campers would never give up camping for.
Whether you're a seasoned camper or a complete beginner, we've put together a simple, very rational checklist so that you don't forget anything important and can enjoy your camping trip to the fullest.
Campers' sayings collected:
"Even though we are very minimalist. Every camping trip I find out what else we could take for the next one. For example, last time we camped and there were an abnormal amount of ants. I'd use gold to balance out the resealable food jars." | "I hate the amount of dishes strewn about. I always appreciate products that are multi-functional, collapsible and space-saving." | "I always have to keep my knives sharpened with a tip top. On camping trips, I chop and sharpen sticks with them for grilling, but I also need to slice bacon thinly with them. I always carry at least a sharpening stone." |
Although camping doesn't always come with pleasant experiences, and yes you may get caught in a storm, get your tent soaked, or get stung by an insect. But it's also, in its own way, overcoming yourself. Knowing how to handle even the most unpleasant situations. Knowing how to cope in the wilderness, outside the comfort zone of your own home or five-star hotel. You always come out of camping a little bit stronger.
