You know, just this last week I took my family camping, and I took my family camping because for me, it has all the benefits that I'm gonna share with you, but it's also an important part of my family culture.
Growing up, my father, uh, had seven children, and he didn't have very much money.
But somehow they, you know, they traveled a good bit, and, and so at some point in time when he had a bunch of young children, he was thinking, "What can I do?" So he went out and found some cheap, old, junky five hundred dollar pop-up camper, and we dragged that thing back and forth across the United States multiple times.
And a lot of my memories, my impressions of childhood relate to those experiences.
And I found that it was just such a useful and, and impressive part of my life that I have always had a soft spot, an affinity in my, in my heart for camping.
As the years have gone by, I have become convinced that camping is important for many, many reasons, both practical and psychological, because it is better than most other forms of practice.
So for example, I have believed for a long time that camping is much better than going to a resort or staying at a hotel.
Uh, why? Well, one of the reasons is that camping involves a whole lot of time together and a whole lot of skill building, whereas in hotels you don't have that.
Now, when I was younger, I hadn't stayed in a lot of hotels and hadn't stayed in a lot of hotels with children.
But up until my camping trip this last week, I had not gone camping in probably almost a decade.
And along the way, I have proven again and again and again and again that resorts and hotels are inferior to camping.
