RE: Post-lockdown Camp out November 2021

in #outdoors3 years ago

Lovely, serene images and you seem like a real pro at it... Interesting to read about interactions with fellow campers. I think people are, generally, more respectful and sympathetic when they are at the mercy of the elements... Looking forward to camping in Colombia, soon, and will take inspiration from your minimalist approach. Stay safe 🙏

Never stop learning and challenging yourself. This trip was not very minimal, but the rain and weight was challenging enough. Yes, people are generally very nice in the outdoors. If anything goes wrong we rely on each other for help because the official help is hours and hours away. Oh, and I find typically outdoors people can disagree on any old topic but will still have a good time in the discussion. Why, because minor human disagreements are meaningless against the power of the natural world. Everything out here is basic.

I admit, I’m a book-ish type and, mostly, lead a sedentary life. But I’m lucky to have a spontaneous, adventurous wife who’s always challenging me —living on a farm in Colombia being the latest one!

Thank you, for this nice exchange and peek into the life of a seasoned camper. Stay safe & have fun!
