Introduction
Once upon a time we all went camping. Or rather, that's
just how everyone lived. Sleeping under the stars or in
rudimentary shelters, foraging for food and drinking water
straight out of rivers, these are things we humans did to
survive for almost all our history.
These days, being outside and living alongside nature is a
trick too many of us have forgotten. But when we gather
around a fire at night in the great outdoors, we're doing
something our ancestors did for thousands of generations.
We're not suggesting you might like to try living like one
of our hunter-gatherer forebears. But there's no doubt
about it: Going camping and all that it entails can be deeply
satisfying. In our family, we've discovered that it's the best
way to spend time with those closest to us. And luckily for
us, it's no longer a matter of just surviving. With all the
technology and know-how at our disposable, camping can
be as luxurious or simple as anyone chooses to make it.
