What’s Stopping You From Camping More?
None of us go camping as much as we want, even though it’s something we all know we should do for our well-being. Not even me, and I run a 4WD tour business. It’s literally my job.
It’s so easy to get caught up in all the happenings of life and if you’re anything like me, you don’t put it off because you don’t want to go camping, but because you think it will happen soon, but seems to slip away.
This isn’t an article, like the other posts on this site, but a question.
And not a rhetorical one either.
We’ve got a pretty functional comments section below, and I’d love to hear what stops you from getting out in the bush.
Common Reasons Holding Us Back From Camping
Here’s some of the reasons we hear from people, sometimes on our tours or at 4WD shows. Do any of these apply to you?
- Young kids – worried about taking them too early.
- No one to go with.
- Places too busy in school holidays.
- Not enough gear.
- Too expensive – You might be doing it wrong if that’s the case. Do you disagree?
- You like toilets too much.
- Workaholic.
- Can’t leave the dog at home.
- Don’t have a 4WD – Maybe we could recommend somewhere that’s 2WD accessible. Let us know where you are, in the comments.
- Too old.
