Camping is the art of stripping away modern luxuries to appreciate the basics of survival.

Nature acts as a natural reset button for a cluttered brain. The constant demands of urban life require "directed attention," which leads to mental fatigue. Nature, on the other hand, invokes "soft fascination." The movement of clouds, the patterns of fractures in rocks, and the shimmer of water capture our attention effortlessly, allowing our cognitive faculties to rest and recharge.
