Too often, people get caught up in an urban existence and barely spend time with nature. This is a small tragedy, because there are many healthy benefits of camping. The most obvious benefit may be the exercise that generally comes as a normal part of camping – carrying heavy supplies, hiking, building a fire. These all keep you active instead of sitting at home watching a TV screen or playing around on the computer. Don’t forget fresh air, because your lungs will thank you for spending time in nature. And your life balance will benefit as well because spending time away from it all will lower your stress levels and will make you actually look forward to getting back to work instead of dreading it.
