That’s just one of the many reasons to consider camping. Here are some others:
It’s peaceful

It forces you to slow down
You can sit around a camp fire and talk
You get plenty of fresh air

We are glad to hear you had a laugh at Mitch’s expense. Mitch Nash is an unusual man. Some find him amusing, some find him repulsive while others liken him to a modern day Leonardo Da Vinci. We are not exactly sure why they liken him to Da Vinci – as far as we know he doesn’t paint, draw or invent things – it may just be the moustache. One things for sure, after seeing his knowledge of botany, he’s certainly no Joseph Banks.
