I noticed that there's a lot in tourism literature today about a term called glamping, G L A M P I N G, which seems to be something about geodesic domes. My interest in doing this podcast is simply to find out more about that. Concept itself, how you got interested in it and just what you're doing out there in the forest.
Well, glamping is like a nice medium between camping and luxury hotels. We found that many families will have one member of family that likes to either camp or rough it and enjoy the outdoors. As well, another member of the family would prefer to go to a luxury hotel and have. Things like flushing toilets glamping and the geodesic domes can provide both of those. So, our plan is to make vacations easy. We are trying to make an easy family friendly vacation that's in nature and provides luxury.
We chose domes because they are popular. It also provides us with an easy shell, with a lot of interior space to be creative. We have a heat pump that also has air conditioning for summer, and we have a wood burning stove in there which keeps things nice and comfortable in colder weather. As well as those items. We have other luxuries in there. We have a hot shower. We have a sink in the washroom and a fully plumbed house style toilet. We have a kitchen which is fully stocked with pans, pots, cups, plates, knives, forks, glasses. There's a fridge freezer. And a cooktop., We're also going to be providing a grill, so people can cook outside.
Being there in the woods boosts immune system. It's calming, it reduces stress stimulates creative thinking, lowers heart rate, lowers cholesterol, and has proven to reduce depression, but we took it a little step further as well. We've introduced grounding mats into our beds. Since about the 1950s, when shoes started to be made with rubber soles, we've lost that ground connection. So we did some research on that and found that there are many benefits to grounding or some people call it earthing. For example, some of these benefits are it reduces pain and inflammation. It can improve sleep, increase energy accelerate recovery and healing. And normalizes biological rhythms.
