SUV Melbourne: Are You Happy Camping?

It might seem strange to those who have never tried it, but camping is one of life's great joys. It is the only way for city people to get some idea of what life was like for our ancestors, cooking on an open fire and sleeping wherever they could make a home. Of course, modern camping is much safer and more comfortable than their lives were, but that's not a bad thing. We've managed to extract the good bits of a nomadic life, and insulate ourselves from the bad.

If you've never been a camper, preferring mattresses, light-switches and hot showers to sleeping bags, torches and jerry cans then you're missing out. No, really, you are. While home comforts are lovely, they're not everything. It's worth giving them up for the odd weekend, just once in a while. Camping is not just a cheap way to go away for the night, but an experience in its own right. Even billionaires go camping. Or if they don't, they should. How much time can you actually spend counting your money?

To enjoy camping, you need to forget about all the things you think you 'need'. Realising that you can cope without your hairdryer or your backyard pool can be incredibly liberating. It allows you to be self-sufficient, to have confidence in your abilities to live without all the infrastructure that we take so much for granted. Imagine driving out into the wilderness, far beyond the city grime and bustle, and into a world where all you can hear is the birds, the breeze and your own laughter. Imagine making a new home for yourself out of nothing but rolled up canvas. Imagine cooking your evening meal on an open fire and drinking your morning tea underneath the sunrise.

Yes, you'll also probably get too hot, or too cold. You'll struggle to light the fire and you'll burn your sausages. You'll get dirty and you won't sleep as well as you would back home. But something deep down in your soul will burn just a little bit brighter.

Remember too that you don't need to completely forgo home comforts on your camping trip. You can always travel there in style, in a 4x4 from Melbourne. Take the Jeep Wrangler, for example. All the ruggedness and off-road capability you'll ever need, along with comfort, style and first-class handling. Or if you need plenty of space to store your new camping gear, try the bigger Wrangler Unlimited. Other options might be the stylish Chrysler Grand Voyager, or the powerful Dodge Journey.

Regardless of how you choose to get there, just relax and enjoy your camping adventure. And if you feel as if it's tough going, remind yourself whey you're there to just lie on your back and stare at the sky...
