Introduction

Synopsis

People choose to go outdoors for different reasons, top among them being the dire need to have fun. Contrary to what many people think, there is a lot of fun outside the four corner office, bar, club or even spa. The outdoors is less rigid and gives participants the chance to do things freely whether it’s screaming, running, walking…

The Basics

The other group of people chooses outdoors for adventure reasons. Let’s face it; going to the pub, every time is somewhat boring. Seeing the same faces, serving and drinking the same drinks, seeing the same girls and same men looks normal and hence, a bore.

However, when you choose to go to the wild outside, you can never predict, even the weather. This adventure apparently drives many people and makes the outdoors such a huge attraction.

Whatever your reasons for choosing the outdoors for adventure, this practice has many advantages and benefits for everyone.

First, the outdoors teaches you essential survival tips you will never learn in your home. These important skills such as fire lighting in the wild, mapping, hunting, policing, fighting and others are important life skills you will need someday. You may just never know.

You also need outdoors adventures because of the rush. When you’re out there in the bushes, you may never know what you will encounter. Moreover, if you’re going to a new location, with a strange terrain in good company, the adrenalin rush that comes with it is irreplaceable.

The other advantage or benefits that come with outdoor adventures are the lessons you learn out there apart from the survival ones. This is clearer, especially when you choose to go out with different people or a team. These could be workmates, colleagues, family, children,

spouse, and friends. Being with people in the wild will teach you important lessons about relationships, trust, reliability, teamwork and winning.

However, although outdoor adventures are interesting, make one feel new and give the regular adrenaline rush, on most occasions, they also come with immense risks. You may be attacked in the wild, eaten by a wild animal or get lost.

Worse still, you could die out there. Hence, if your first idea is to rush to the forests to have the outdoor adventures of your life, you need to relax, think, plan, and learn the ropes, before even thinking about it.

However, the above risks don’t make going into the outdoors to have fun less interesting, entertaining or fulfilling. On the contrary, the above reasons merely say the outdoors is for you.

All you need to do is get ready for them, understand the games, know the pitfalls you are likely to encounter and psych up for them. While at it, remember to be selective of the company you keep because you need them all the way.

Pleasurable outdoor adventures

The world is a depressing place to live. Stress at work, conflicts in the home, kids, evening school, bad relationships, bad bosses, bad jobs, confusion…. All these describe a world that is depressing enough for
