Camping is and will always be fun. You certainly do not need any cozy sofa or a plasma TV on a camping trip. It simply is about being one with nature, exploring the ground around you. A lot of people these days have totally forgotten the real essence of the environment. So, why not delish on those yummy marshmallows stuck on brown sticks, and are fizzed over the bonfire? And imagine the dark sky filled with amazing dots of sparkling stars, with shooting stars passing every now and then. The fresh smell of the woods has always been gratifying. It makes you realize that you are lucky indeed to be born in such a beautiful world.

Additionally, never forget to bring the equally important stuffs like mobile phone and first aid kit, both of which are significant for emergency uses, as well as your camera or video recorder for you to preserve the memories.

It must be somewhere really remarkable and utterly safe.
