Life of a Blogger: Camping
7:56 PM
Life of a Blogger is a weekly meme that is hosted by Jessi at Novel Heartbeat. Every week there is a different topic and this week's topic is camping!
We have NEVER gone camping, it's something that we've never really thought about doing. We think that it would probably be fun to go camping but we don't really have opportunities to go camping.
Whenever we think about going on a vacation, we don't really consider camping. We usually go to other countries or visit new places in The Philippines. We don't go camping because we don't really know where to camp and don't really like thinking about where we would urinate and defecate if ever we go camping. We have always been big fans of hygiene so the idea of camping wasn't too tempting. Even though it is like that, we still believe that if we do go camping, we'll have a lot of fun. Maybe sometime in the future, we will finally try to go camping and might even find it enjoyable. Maybe in the future, we will be blogging about our experiences while camping and will want to go camping again.
We don't really know much about camping so we can't really say much about it. We're not sure of we'll like camping or if we'll hate it but if we were ever invited to go camping, we would probably accept since it's a new experience and we love new experiences. We love trying new things and if the opportunity arises, we will go and camp!
We have a list of reasons why we would go camping and a list of reasons why we wouldn't go camping. We'll list them down here in this post.
Reasons Why We Would Go Camping:
1. The fresh air
It's a major factor in why we would go camping. We spend so much time indoors that we barely go out and get a breath of fresh air.
2. The experience
Not many people that we know have ever gone camping, going camping would provide us with a great and exciting story to tell people.
3. Acquiring skills
We're not sure whether we would learn any new skills while camping but in all the books and movies we've read that included camping, the hero or heroine has always learned some new, cool thing.
4. Campfires and marshmallows
You guys all know that we love eating we think that nothing beats the experience of eating slightly burnt marshmallows by the campfire.

Reasons Why We Wouldn't Go Camping:
1. For hygienic purposes
The explanation has been stated above.
2. Gadgets
Where would we charge our gadgets if ever we were to go camping? We can't imagine being away from our gadgets for even a single day!
3. Mosquitoes and other insects
We believe that there are a lot of insects in the great outdoors and we'd rather not get bitten. We really don't like insects even though we know that some of them are useful to us in some way.
4. Uncomfortable ground
We're not entirely sure if sleeping on the wilderness floor with just a sleeping bag and tent would be uncomfortable or surprisingly comfy but we wouldn't want to risk it. We really love sleeping, especially on a comfortable bed with fluffy pillows and we don't think that camping is suitable for fluffy pillows.

I agree with all the no-go reasons! I enjoy a campfire as much as everyone else and fresh smores are delicious, but the goods just don't to outweigh the bads, you know?
ReplyDeleteI think it's different if you go to a campground with communal bathrooms and showers and your family has a camper, but even then, it's pushing it for me.
It hurts my heart a little that you guys have never been camping, but I totally understand that it's not for everyone. I like being in nature, so maybe that's why I like it. The s'mores around a campfire aren't too bad either. Haha.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit/follow. Now following you back! :D
ReplyDeleteI've only been camping once through school, but it wasn't so fun to me. I can see why you guys haven't been camping ha ha.
I haven't been camping per se, but I've been glamping!! Glamping isn't the same thing really. I can't image sleeping in a tent or even how to pitch one. Sleeping on the ground in a sleeping bag doesn't sound fun either, especially now that I'm older.
ReplyDeleteI'm also not a huge fan of bugs either, but at least there are bug sprays out there that you can use to avoid ticks and other biting bugs.
Some campground have basic showers and bathrooms, but am not excited about hiking it to a bathroom in the middle of the night if I need to go or a cold shower that may be shared with others and not the cleanest.
*nods* sleeping on the ground does suck. I cheat and use an air mattress XD
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures! I especially love the nighttime one.
