More and more people are looking for an adventure without the risk and environmental damage of travelling by plane. But most people have no idea of the risks they face.

I can’t believe that 95% of my camping friends didn’t know about the danger of NOT dealing with this one problem BEFORE they start their trips

I know I was totally unaware! Here’s how I found out. About a year ago, I was staying in an abandoned campsite near Lake Annecy in Eastern France, enjoying my time with my 8-year old son.

The weather was great, the sun was shining, the mountains were beautiful, but I had some work to finish on my laptop.

During the trip I’d been using my phone as a WI-FI hotspot… So, as the evening drew in, I sat working on my laptop. I was using my phone’s internet connection. As time went on I noticed my laptop’s battery was around 5% and my phone’s was approaching zero.

“No worries” I thought “I’ll just fire up the motorhome and charge from the plugs”

My worst nightmare happened

 

I put in the keys, turned the ignition… and my worst nightmare happened. It wouldn’t start.

Matthew (my 8-year old son) was fast asleep in his bed, as I was trying to fix the now-critical motorhome.

Picture this – you’re in the middle of nowhere, alone, at night, in an area well-known for its relatively high crime rate (especially for crimes against travellers). With no internet connection, no clue how to fix your motorhome, and no other campers in the campsite.

As the panic started rising, I remembered a news story I’d read about a gruesome murder and robbery of four British tourists 30 miles away.

 

After 30 or 40 minutes of pondering the worst case scenarios (while still attempting to fix my dead RV), I heard a car approaching. My heart rate jumped as the sound got louder and louder. Pictures of the news story raced through my mind.

“Help me God”, I thought. Luckily, it was one of the national park managers who was overseeing the area. He connected his truck to my RV and gave me a jump start, which meant I could then charge my devices.

Had I not met this helpful stranger on my trip, I’m not sure I would be writing this article
