Into the Woods: Why Camping Still Matters in a High-Tech World

Into the Woods: Why Camping Still Matters in a High-Tech World

In a world where everything is “smart,” camping stays stubbornly real.

Why pitch a tent when you could book a resort? Why cook over a fire when you could order Uber Eats? Because your soul needs more than comfort — it needs realness.

Camping gives you back simple problems: How do I stay warm? Where should I set up? What’s for dinner? These are problems you can solve with your hands, not your phone.

Time slows in the woods. One minute you’re stressing over the tent poles, the next you’re staring into the fire, realizing you haven’t thought about work all day.

Camping forces you to be present. It pulls you out of the noise. And it reminds you that you’re part of something bigger than your inbox or social feed.

If you’re addicted to tech, start simple. A weekend close to home. Leave your phone in the car. Bring only what you need. Relearn boredom. Relearn stillness.

You don’t camp to escape life. You camp to find it.
