Time to get back to the wonders of nature

I decided to go camping to get away from it all.

Took out my phone, tablet, laptop, solar wifi, 1 DSLR camera, 1 video camera, 4 extension cords, 1 long distance extension cord, 75 adapters, 5 chargers and a gasoline generator backup to pack them all in the car.

I decided that wasn’t quite enough. I brought out my satellite phone for potential areas of weak cell service, a dedicated GPS device for intricate topographical navigation, an e-reader for leisurely reading by the campfire, portable speakers for ambiance, and a projector for under-the-stars movie nights. Drones offered a bird’s-eye view of the landscape, while night vision goggles for nocturnal wildlife observation. A portable weather station would ensure I stayed ahead of any inclement conditions, solar chargers for eco-friendly energy sources, and walkie-talkies for smooth communication in group explorations.

Next, I retrieved an electronic water purifier and heated camping gear. For entertainment, a portable gaming console and a smartwatch would to track activities and time. I unboxed trail cameras to capture elusive wildlife moments, and unwrapped never-used rechargeable lanterns to illuminate the nightscape.

Now I can really get close to nature.
