"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."--Back cover.

Summary
This inspirational book introduces a collection of remarkable people who have left their jobs in the city to start an exciting new life in the wilds and make the great outdoors their home.
From a profile of a Californian woman who started a female motorbike and camping festival, to an essay on the liberation of a moonlit swim and a section on how to make the perfect campfire coffee brew, Homecamp is for all who aspire to a life of freedom and adventure.
Through photos, stories, essays and interviews, it gives both inspiration and practical information on how you too can escape (if only for a weekend!) to a more balanced and mindful way of life in the great outdoors.
Have you ever wanted to quit your job and take off on a motorcycle journey from Alaska to Argentina? Do you dream of moving out of your city apartment and into a shipping container house in the middle of the forest? Are you yearning to drink your coffee on the top of a mountain rather than at your desk? Take a journey withHomecamp, where you’ll meet people who followed that dream.
