Description

It's difficult to find nature amidst the rush, bustle and electronic pop-ups that flood our modern lives - to leave stress and hurry behind, embracing the simple pleasure to be found in pounding waves, a roaring campfire and a sky full of stars. But nature isn't as far away as you think. Homecamp is a beautiful collection of stories and images from everyday adventurers - people who have found ways to experience and embrace the outdoors, on their terms. Some have gone on epic adventures: sold their belongings and lived in a van, trekked through the Himalayas or biked across continents. Others simply found new ways of seeing  the world around them: cleaned up a beach, learned how to forage or spent a night alone in the woods. All found that their experiences in nature transformed their lives and freed them, even if only briefly, from the monotony of their 9-to-5 grind. This book will inspire you to rediscover the joys and the rejuvenating power of spending time outside. Along with compelling stories, interviews and imagery, you'll find a how-to guide full of helpful tips, from how to choose and set up camp to brewing the perfect campfire coffee and enjoying the outdoors without a trace.

Reviews

"Homecamp's stunning imagery and charming stories nicely encapsulate its creators' philosophy that simply being in nature is what counts." (Books + Publishing)

Author description

Doron and Stephanie Francis launched Homecamp in 2014, an online business that sells beautifully crafted products to help people enjoy the outdoors in style and comfort. The business has since grown into a separate events company called Under Sky, offering premium outdoor experiences and pop-up glamping accommodation for corporate gatherings and festivals. Doron and Stephanie go out into nature as often as they can and feel most at home when on the road. They have also been profiled in two books, Camping Out in the Wild (GALINDO Publishing) and New Identities (Gestalten).
