Whether you are a keen camper and get itchy if you haven’t been camping in a week, or have never been camping before in your life.

These are the 5 most common symptoms that will identify, whether or not you are overdue for a camping expedition.

But if you need clarification, we recommend that you seek professional advice from a trained expert at one of the many Adventure Kings Dealers and stores around Australia.

1. Days have started blurring into each other

If you work a 9 – 5 office job or on a jobsite, the biggest alarm bell that you might be needing a trip away is, when Monday suddenly becomes Friday and no matter what you get up too, your weekends feel too short.

For some of us here, this is a constant feeling and inescapable, but if this feeling is out of the ordinary for you then a camping trip away may just be the ticket.

The biggest warning sign that you suffer from this symptom is when you cannot distinguish which day certain conversations took place. And is made even worse if the conversation was the same day.

Stop working immediately and get out camping.

2. Difficulty getting out of bed in the morning

From time to time, it is hard to get out of bed, an obvious indicator that you need to take a camping trip, is dreaming about your dream Adventure Kings camping gear setup, from the plush 80mm thick mattress included in an Adventure Kings ‘Kwiky’ pop up  rooftop tent, to all weather shelter offered by an Adventure Kings Awning.

Our most common reoccurring dream is to waking up in an Adventure Kings Big Daddy Double Swag happy and content only to realize it is only a dream. This is our version of a night terror, and the only way to cure this is by hitting the tracks and getting a good night’s rest in the bush!

3. You start enjoying sitting in traffic

To a normal sane person, traffic is the bane of existence, this common pastime to and from work, often starts road rage fits, pent up aggression and many other symptoms of high stress.

Those who have had too long in between camping or 4×4 trips take this time as a miniature break from the complications of every day life, and also find this time enjoyable, as driving the pride and joy even though it is on pavement feels like an escape in itself (to be fair some city roads in Australia’s major towns and cities can be in worse condition than recently graded sections of the ‘telegraph track’ in Cape York).

4. You spend every spare minute looking at online maps

If you, like us are constantly on the prowl for new and exciting, secret camping spots to seek out and head away to visit. You are more like the team at 4WD Supacentre and Adventure Kings than you probably thought.
