I do weekend camping out in the alps whenever I can (which isnt much recently due to having kids and broken foot). Its always amazing, maybe also because its not every evening, but the sight works with something inside. Summer, winter, anything in between. Using my few skills to get through the night (ie finding out that air mattress was leaking, its midnight, -15 and I've already dig 1m hole in the snow and built it all), cook some food, see milky way and mountains. Guessing animals from weird sounds they make. Waking up in completely different scenery just due to light.

One of the things I will show my kids when they are older over and over, like they will have a choice :) That's how I recharge batteries, practically nothing in the city can do that (maybe artificial climbing wall is the closest)



That sounds amazing, I‘d love to do that with my daughter (7 yrs old). Any areas in particular you can recommend, maybe easy ones to get started, especially with younger kids?
