In the past I’ve very much been guilty of being a “gonna”, that is I’m gonna do this, I’m gonna do that. This cold weather that we are having reminded me of a statement I think I made last winter that I was going to get out and explore nature and go camping and be naked in nature more often. I read the Scenic Boys blog and see how relaxing it is to get out of the city but never seem to do it myself.
Just looking at these photos reminds me that I need to do that. I’m guilty of getting “stuck” in my routine and the city.
After watching the Scenic Boys latest video of another camping excursion I really want to get out into nature. The break on Fraser Island was a little tease of how nice it is. I would love to go camping and rough it and just breathe in the fresh air and sounds of nature with a few mates. I’m going to have to do some research on places that it might be possible to get out of the way, not run into other people and enjoy it.
The idea of a camping ground isn’t really my thing at the moment. A secluded place, out in the bush, with a nice river or creek to skinnydip and bathe in would be ideal. There are a few issues, like me not owning a tent or camping equipment at all, but those are easily overcome.
After watching the Scenic boys videos for a while now I’ve been thinking more and more of camping out in the wilds and getting back to nature. A friend asked me to go camping and canoing this weekend but I couldn’t make it sadly.
It’s literally been over 20 years since I’ve been camping and it’s time. I want to rough it properly, none of this “camping” in a cabin with hot and cold running water. I’d love to find somewhere off the beaten track, by a river or a lake somewhere. Any suggestions?
