Six Moon Designs' Tent ¥62,000+TAXOutdoor Gear Maniacs (047-339-8508)

The Lunar Duo is a favorite of ultralight hikers, and it is easy to set up and looks beautiful standing up. It is easy to pitch and looks beautiful in the air, weighing only 1100 g. There is also a one-person "Lunar Solo," but going that far in camping might be too stoic!

If you want to go solo, a wanderer-style campfire under a tarp is a must.

MONORAL

Small silver machete in mono

MONORAL] machete ¥15,500+TAX (TS Design (042-703-4933)

The other day I was shocked to see someone trying to light a large piece of firewood directly with a lighter. It is common practice to use small pieces (or twigs that you have picked up) in advance for kindling. The machete is useful for making such kindling from large pieces of firewood. Unlike ordinary mountain work machetes, this machete is made specifically for camping and is small, with a blade length of 9 cm and a total length of 23 cm, making it easy for beginners to handle. The blade is fire-formed one by one by a craftsman. The feel of the split blade as it is swept in is addictive.

MANIKA

Manica fire pit TAKIBI-LIGHT

MANIKA, fire pit, ¥9,000+TAXmanica)

If you have a big solo campfire, you are a little bit of a ruffian in the eyes of those around you. . Therefore, I prefer a slow, smoldering silver fire for solo camping. Manica's fire pit is just right in that sense. It has a somewhat classical appearance, with an assembled frame and replaceable stainless steel mesh. Weighing only 700 grams, it can be stored compactly at W60 x D60 x H43, making it a good choice as a fire pit for backpacking (carrying all the gear in a backpack instead of in a car).
