Okay bloggers, time for some discussions about why the outdoors is brilliant if you go. The first thing that you will want to remember is; when was the last time you had really gone out? Not exactly on a normal holiday.
Or a visit to your parents’ place. Or even to a basement party which other fellow nerdy bloggers or friends of yours organized. I mean, really went out. In the wilderness, carefree and charmed with the blue skies of the out of town!
In case you are still wondering, the reference is being made to camping bloggers. For those of you who have never camped, they might not even be aware of how much fun camping out of doors can be. For those who have forgotten the charm, take a dip back in time my friends, because we are going camping!
The Charm of Camping
Since you are my fellow blogger, it is obvious to assume that you are an imaginative lot. However, hanging out at home and writing about real as well as imaginative things will hardly do most of you good. How about simply taking some time off and doing something which you can write about?
A camping trip away from home is guaranteed to give you great ideas. Living in the lap of Mother Nature will let you feel how beautiful everything around you is.
Once you are away from your place and drive to the site, I surely some sorts of tantrums or the others. And boy, do we bloggers know or can throw tantrums!
The first few hours will seem bleak because there will be no Wi-Fi and the chances of a computer is pretty slim if the group or the person you are going camping with mean business.
Nevertheless, once you start collecting twigs for the fire (throw in a lot of moaning and complaining) or fetch some water, you kind of start to appreciate what living in the wild is like.
The real appreciation starts when you feel the stars come out. Trust me! There is no beautiful sight on earth than the one you can just lie back and stare at.
Also, it is time you donned the chef’s cap again. There is a good chance that you have forgotten what real food tastes like, judging by the range of takeaway boxes your place is usually filled with.
Prepare to let go and the unexpected awakening of your senses as well. By the second day your complaints will go down, for sure.
The Health Benefits
Apart from the refined vitality of your senses, here is your good chance to not just connect with nature, but improve your health as well. A camping trip is usually a complete set of activities which you or your group might have planned to do. These activities may involve hiking, fishing or climbing steep trails and others.
With the kind of ordeal your unaccustomed blogger body will go through, the cardiovascular properties stand to improve. Suddenly your dormant survival instincts may be reckoned upon as well. You begin to appreciate the things for free and learn to be thankful.
Above all, here is a chance to brush up on your people skills again. Camping is a great place to find complete strangers to connect with.
While your city or place may seem distant and selfish now, your fellow campers and other group around the place will help you with what they have.
If this trip is a getaway with your partner, do not be shy to lose some of that attitude and to hell with proper conduct. Have some fun and make the other person feel comfortable.
Things to Pack
While I am assuming that you will be going with a group, there is a good chance that you might do some camping alone as well. Whatever your plan is, proper packing for your trip is something that you will have to focus upon.
The first step to ensure that you are not missing out on stuff is to make a list. The first tool would of course be to choose a proper tent. Sleeping bags is of course a must. Carry a proper sized water bottle with you as well as some food, cooked or not.
Invest in flashlights and penknives as well.

Well written Raj
bloggers mostly spend their times with their desks than those cubicle guys
bloggers must go for camping, even it will make them think more innovatory and increases their productivity
OK, it’s seem like we should take a break
I never thought about camping before but it certainly gives me some ideas for outdoor activities. We cannot stress too much on the importance of outdoor activities for those who are blogging to stay healthy.
Dear,
Very excellent post. bloggers mostly spend their times with their desks than those cubicle guys.
Thanks for sharing importance of outdoor activities
Hi,
This article is very useful both are beginner and experience bloggers. camping meets beginner bloggers to experience bloggers and beginners bloggers learn more and more tips and tactics from the experience bloggers.
Thanks for sharing useful tips
I enjoy the social part more than the rest. While camping you get to meet new people and enjoy spending time with old friend. Priceless memories!
Hi MatthewRaj,
The idea of outdoor camping is awesome, i’ve never came to know about it. I think it can also be called as bloggers meet.
But i think it couldn’t work for more people as many bloggers are always busy in some activities. So it might be some issue about time. And yeah it agree that blogging camping has many benfits.
Hi Matthew,
I quite agree with you on the benefits of clamping especially the health part of it. I remember what my dad always tells me those days that all work and no play makes jack a doll boy.
So it is really beneficial for we bloggers as it will not only enhance our health but will often expose us to some things that can give us an inspiration for a new blog post.
Thanks for sharing dear.

Hi Raj,
Well written and Camping is one of the few ways to get relief from regular and boring work. Spending hours and hours of time infront of internet is not that good for health so we need to take regular breaks and Camping also helps to get new ideas.
Really nice point,
It’s important to take proper break so that your mind is always fresh and remain full with creative ideas so that every time you can come up with interesting article which satisfies your audience expectations.
Lol.
What an awesome idea for a blog post
Camping is fun and will definitely help you get your mind off things and get focused more into your work on your blog.
Thanks!
Interesting post. I agreed with your opinion on camping. I like camping and hiking as these activities involve lots of adventure and fun. It makes my mind active and ready for next opportunities to avail. It is also an effective way to reduce extra calories, that we might taking all the time in our daily life.
That is a serious issue you are dealing with. I think still too few bloggers deal with this. However wonderful blogging and working at home may be, it is the fact that most bloggers rarely go out onto the fresh air.
hey,
Excellent post. Every blogger should do rest and go for outing.
Thank you
Camping can be great fun. There is so much we can learn when we are out. There are lot of ideas and things waiting for us outside. Thanks for this great share, Jan.
Hey Matthew !
Simply awesome post. Camping is really important for relaxing our minds. It’s really good for our health and when we are good physically, we can perform our work better, comparatively.
Thanks for highlighting nice point.
