Even just going backpacking for a few days highlights it. Despite access to some modern amenities (maybe a lighter, or a camp stove, and some food you bought and took with you) it's humbling.

Looking for water in the wilderness - even with access to maps - can be quite a challenge in and of itself!

lol a friend would go "camping" with his family and a few other families. They would all reserve the same group campsite every year.

When it would get near to the "camping" time my friend would be preparing giant battery banks, hotspots, and other tech with the right usb/hdmi cables and more...

its a fun adventure because your already know that your comforts and old life are just a flight away.

but regardless it not going to bring any meaningful humbleness because you will forget all about it.

i grew up in povery for first 20 yrs of my life in a desert but i have never think of that life and experience humbless in any different way than ppl who have never experienced it.
