It has been more than a year since the outbreak of Covid-19 which had affected every continent in the world. The pandemic has altered our lives creating new normal, interests, and hobbies.
For me, since traveling is off the books, I revert back to my previous passion which is camping. This activity has been laid off for so long since traveling occupies most of my free time.
So when the government announced the Movement Control Order (MCO) which prohibits international travel as well as interstate crossing, we had no other alternative to compensate for our travel escapades except camping (within the state). We bought tents, sleeping/cooking items, and other camping necessities with the help of fellow campers via the Family Camping FB page. Some of the items we bought as seen below. Others like flysheet, groundsheet, fans, more lighting were added later.

We then upgraded our tent to this model. It can accommodate 6-8 people.
This activity is recommended as it instills family bonding besides appreciating nature without the many amenities such as electricity, toilet and of course wifi/internet.
To date, we had visited and stayed at 3 camping sites in Selangor (within the district) as interstate and interdistrict traveling is still prohibited. We even had booked 2 sites in May 2021 but were unable to go due to the nationwide MCO. At the time of writing this entry, interdistrict travel is still prohibited due to the increase of Covid-19 cases. When will this pandemic end?
