14 Reasons Why You Should Try Camping Once In Your Lifetime

The idea itself is so mesmerizing that it will leave you intrigued about the possibilities of what beauties you’ll encounter during that course. Camping is highly underrated and it is surely not for everyone. India is filled with countless places to camp and yet there are so less people who take this voyage.

Here are some of the best reasons why you should try camping:

1. You figure things out on your own

Trust me, even though it’s all the same, camping is a new experience every time you step in the woods. There’s a new lesson to learn, there’s a new vicinity to explore, there’s a new struggle to live and a new adventure to enjoy. Amid this you discover joys of doing things on your own; setting up the tent, looking for a place to pitch and a lot more.

 

2. You learn to take responsibility

You look at the bigger picture. For starters, every time you light up a bonfire to keep you warm, there’s a part of organic matter you kill on the land which will remain fallow for a very long time. Thence, the choices you make aren’t necessarily the ones that you make for yourself, but also for others, who are there with you.

 

3. You tend to find beauties in small things

Those who camp often have knowledge of what takes to unravel the beauty in things that are omnipresent, but hardly acknowledged.  Your mind tends to wander off the edges of the world and just stay there calm and placid, looking at things like; the vastness of land, the sound of wind, the gargantuan of the sky and the sound of your heartbeat.

 

4. Subtleties begin to elate you

It doesn’t matter if you’re tired or soaked up or thirsty or hungry, small things which are easily available in routine life, are a big deal to find when you camp and therefore their presence will bring the biggest smile on your face, once you find them in the middle of nowhere. Just to find what you need, just being able to tie the tent properly, just figure out where you want to pitch the tent and likewise. These subtleties will impact your perception in a big way.

 

5. You come to terms with what you have

Campsites are usually far away from the land clustered with people, thence the chances of having a lot of facilities around, lot of people to take help from and basically a lot of backing subsides. This way, the only way for you to live is to come to terms with what you have. You do not ask for more and you needn’t settle for less; you are okay with whatever you have and it is fine.

 

6. You learn to share

It is amazing to see that once you’re onto camps, you’d realize that no person is an island. When a stranger helps you in pitching the tent or getting that thorn out of your feet or just carrying your heavy luggage; you bond with them. You align yourself with the idea that, people are there for people. You share your things and that’s how it goes.

 

7. You learn to back yourself up

You are your own strength and you’ll realize that soon. You’re sometimes the only available help for others too and therefore just like how you wish you’d be in the real world, you are your own God. You can vest your trust in no one but you.

 

8. You accept every challenge with no escape

Rains, wind, damp terrain, fatal mosquitoes and what not. Any challenge out of your comfort zone is a big struggle to live through and these challenges aren’t the ones you could escape from, in fact you’ll have to fight and fight real quick. Your spontaneity will get you out of all the atrocities, backed with significance.

 

9. You learn to trust strangers

Trusting people has been one of the biggest issues with mankind. We hardly let our guards down with the best people around us, but when you camp and you haven’t slept for hours and someone says they are up for you to sleep, they are backing you or they’ll look for you; you can’t do anything else but trust them. People are good in general.

 

10. You happily come back to basics

It is possible for you to forget some important toiletries or food or any other thing which is to come handy during the trip and there, in that moment you let go of the luxuries of life and happily come back to basics. You’ll never value food as much as you’d just appreciate regular sandwich or some boiled veggies in the middle of nowhere.

 

11. You hunt for alternatives with good grace

Camping is one of the most hyped adventure, in terms where people make a big deal out of it. Camping is just how we are usually, sans the show. You’d wonder how much capable you are of accepting things in general once you camp. Gratitude is amazingly awesome. Spread it around as much as you can; lavish abandon.

 

12. Some problems without solutions are just part of life

You’d be stunned to know that one can really fetch some great life lessons from camping. Foist life crisis takes its toll on us and what we seek is an exile, to hide, to not face it and just run away; why? While you camp, you just can’t run away from a challenge that you are offered by your surroundings, you just have to figure a way out and work through it. And you will. Remember the last time you said you can’t and you did?

 

13. You are more than capable of what you thought you were

That said. You will do things that you never did or that you never thought that you would; like you are more than likely to cook while you are camping and the only cook among you all is down with fever or you’d probably pitch the entire tent because everyone else will reach late.

 

14. Believe in yourself

The most important lessons of all is to believe in yourself. It is likely that you’ll face something that you’ve never seen before, but remember that you’ll pass that and it should be fine.

Camping is a zany challenge for the biggest reprieve that nature offers, along with struggles that need quick and benevolent solutions.
