Theres many reasons why I love camping; detox from tech, spending time with people you care about and appreciating nature

Living in the west has made us very privileged and ungrateful. Anything we want, we can get on demand. Meat, water, stuff from Amazon with 1 day delivery etc
We want instant gratification from everything

But when you're wild camping, you have to ration everything from food supplies to your phone battery. You have to question whether the things you're bringing with you are a necessity or just added weight for no reason
To find a good spot to camp, you have to hike far and look hard. To get water, you have to fetch it from a stream. To eat, you have to start a fire from scratch and cook

Theres no such thing as instant gratification and when you come back home, you appreciate everything more
I feel as though we don't realise how privileged we are with the things we have and going camping builds this appreciation

Plus a little bit of discomfort by sleeping on the hard ground, chopping up wood and all is good tarbiyyah training
Camping obv is not for everyone but take some time out and give it a go. Worst comes to worst, you don't like it but you had a new experience and have a story to tell

All you need is 1 or 2 people and the cost is cheap, I'm re writing a list of stuff you need before going
