50 Camping Gear to Buy This Year

The first camping boom began in the early 1990s. The largest camping population is said to have been in 1996, when the number of campers reached approximately 15.8 million (according to the Japan Auto Camping Association). In recent years, a second camping boom has arrived as the generation that was then children has grown up and can now enjoy the hobby on their own dime. Moreover, the number of gears is so overflowing that it cannot be compared to the first boom. To be honest, there are probably many people who don't know what to buy because there is so much to choose from. Therefore, here is HOUYHNHNM's recommended camping gear, divided by category. We have also included some of the items that we published last year under the category of "CAMP GEAR 2018Check it out along with the "What's the difference?

Tents, tarps, sleeping bags

Tents, tarps, and sleeping bags are always necessary for overnight camping.
If we compare it to a house, it is like a bedroom or living room. We want to select items that are more comfortable according to the purpose of use.

Military-style tent that is easy to set up.

This 1.5-person tent is part of the military-oriented Tactical Supply line from Helinox.

The sand beige color has a military taste and is perfect for austere solo camping. The minimum weight is 1,940g, and the unfolded size is 280cm (length) x 123cm (width) x 98cm (height), so it can accommodate two people if you go with a tight fit.

MONORAL

The hexagonal shape makes it easy to use, and the UV blocking treatment effectively blocks out the sun. The sky-blue color is great because it doesn't feel claustrophobic. It measures 360 cm (length) x 220 cm (width) when unfolded, and 25 cm (length) x 9 cm (diameter) when stored.

The Arth

Zaassu no Makuho Sunda, no pole

Everything you want in a tarp.

What campers need in a tarp at a campsite is, without a doubt, "light shielding" and "waterproofness.

Under the blazing sun, the dark shadows protect it from the sun, and its high water resistance makes it resistant to torrential rain.
