Spring is finally here so we are off Camping

Hi there,

Believe it or not, we are off on our first camping trip of the season this weekend.

Well, at least two of us are.

The middle child has been having a hard time lately and the anxiety dragon has too much control of his life. This is creating a significant amount of stress for him, us, and many others in our lives.

He needs some peace and time outside, so what better way then to go on a weekend camping adventure. Even if it is still a bit too cold.

I’m really looking forward to it, and thinking about it now reminds me of how we have really found a love of camping since having kids. It really is a great opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being outside, having time to think, talk and play together. Away from screens, work, chores, people etc etc.

Plus, as we have discovered, you don’t really need a lot of stuff to start camping and it is easier than a lot of people think. Check out our getting started guide to see just what you do and don’t need.

However, it hasn’t always been plain sailing on our camping adventures. In fact, some of our challenges have helped us to really develop and apply the principles of Travelbetter. As a example, check out this story from a similar camping trip where I forgot to pack quite a bit of useful gear and how I dealt with the problems.

We have also enjoyed many tasty treats on our camping adventures and one of our favourites has to be s’mores. If you have never tried these, and wondering where to start with these campfire classics, then take a look at how we enjoyed s’mores for the first time and learn more about this super tasty treat.

Wish me luck and lets hope the weather stays sunny,
