This post represents the start of a new series entitled "Personal Augmentation", inspired by Gearpatrol.com's 30 Days of Upgrades: Be a Better Man series. This series will be a constant work-in-progress whereby through means of online references, pictures, videos and books, I will try to highlight some of the things that every person aspiring to, as former President George W. Bush would say, personal embetterment ought to know.
This first post focuses on Camping. Ever since the advent of modern civilization and increased urban aggregation, man has felt an emptiness that stems from a lack of physical connection with nature, which over the course of the many thousands of years of evolution has become ingrained into our very existence. In lieu of the necessity to hunt or change one's location according to migratory patterns, modern man, supermarkets and all, satisfies its need for said connection by doing an activity which we all have come to have a love-hate relationship with: Camping.
