Life around Camp


Life around Campsites and Bush Camping

How does cooking, cleaning, and being around a fire, bring people together?

With the rapid takeoff the last 15 years of internet and mobile phones, we have lost the time honored tradition of speaking to each other when we eat.

With a lot of families this was a time where everyone got together and discussed the current days events and happenings.

Being around a campfire while cooking meals and enjoying beers on this trip aims to do just that.

We are divided into cooking groups of 3-4 people, given a budget, going to a local market and purchasing foods to cook for that lunch, evening, and breakfast. Communicating is essential in cooking as many people have their own ways of doing things.

While the cook groups cook, people enjoying anything from tea, coffee, beer, wine or spirts while sharing stories around the fire usually about traveling around the world or talking about the many walks of life we all come from.

The campfire is the source of life for people on this trip….As the fire dies each night, so do the stories people share as they slowly move to their tents in anticipation for the next days events…..and then more stories to follow……
