Camping, once considered an outdoor activity that perhaps only families and teenagers on their school break would enjoy, has become very popular again. And we have social media – and the pandemic – to thank for this.
In the past two years, when lockdowns and travel restrictions were put in place, many people started to miss doing outdoor activities like hiking and running. Once there was more freedom to get around, hiking trails, recreational parks and even forest reserves were filled with folks looking for ways to lead healthier lifestyles and “be free”, especially after being cooped up at home for so long.
