I love to go camping and there is just something about the outdoors that is special. You may think silence doesn’t make a sound, but it actually does. If you stay in the city too long and then get a chance to experience the outdoors, the sound of silence will be very obvious. It’s fun to throw on a pair of tactical pants and grab the fishing rods and camping gear for a weekend in the woods. It’s a chance to bond with nature and it also makes you appreciate the modern conveniences that we get to take advantage of everyday. I have a lot of good memories of going camping and would like to do it again one day. It’s hard for me to leave my computer right now and the bills must get paid. I haven’t been camping recently and I’m sure the next time I go, it will seem like the first time all over again. Staying up all night by a campfire is a great way to waste a night away and there isn’t nothing better tasting than that first meal you have back at home; after you have stayed in the woods a few days. Feel free to share your camping trips through the camping forum at outdoorbasecamp.com or experiences with me and I would love to hear them!

Or send us a tweet on what camping stories that you would like to share and maybe we will create a special list to specifically help those that love the outdoors stay connected.
