CAMP 2020 vol.3
Five personal gear that five camping enthusiasts always bring with them.

For July 2020, we will focus on camping, a topic that has been gaining more and more attention due to the Corona Disaster. When you look around a campsite, you may find yourself thinking, "What's that table? I didn't know they had a table like that," or "That fire pit looks really easy to use. As someone who doesn't have the communication skills to ask questions on the spot, I often end up frantically Googling the information later. So for this third installment, we decided to take a peek at the "must-have" camping gear of five camping enthusiasts! Since the items are limited to gear that they use in real life, they all seem to be easy to use and full of care. They are all very user-friendly and particular about what they use.

Q:How long have you been camping?

A:Age equals 25 years. I have been solo camping for about 4 years.

Q:How often do you go camping?

A:You stay 80 nights a year.

Q:What style of camping do you do?

A:I go solo, with friends, family, dogs, and when I am alone, I camp as a "carry-on camper" with one carry-on bag, on boats and airplanes all over Japan , and sometimes even abroad.

Q:What is your favorite campground?

A:."TINY CAMP VILLAGEIt's a really small campground with only 5 campsites per day, but the campground is lovely and the owners are friendly and helpful, and I recommend it for women. The campground is cute, the owner is friendly, and it is a great place for sightseeing, with Nanazawa Onsen just a short walk away. The campsite is a lovely place for a short sightseeing tour.Gandara ManazuruI also like , and you can camp right in front of the ocean. All facilities are handmade by the owner . There is even an open-air bath. The ocean in front of you is fun to snorkel in.

Q:What is your favorite way to spend time at camp?

A:. enjoy fishing, snorkeling, and other activities appropriate to the location.

Q:What are your criteria and preferences for selecting camping gear?

A:. The first thing is whether or not I think the gear is "cute" when I look at it. I value intuition, because items that strike my fancy at first glance are likely to be used for many years to come. Next, I imagine when I will actually use the item, and consider how well it will work with my existing gear, how it will be operated (installed), how heavy it will be, and whether or not I will be able to use it easily.

Q:What is the ideal camp you would like to do someday?

A:I was actually going to do it this year, but to camp on a deserted island in Okinawa with my girlfriends! A more distant ideal would be to camp at my own campsite.

5 personal gear that Mr. Mori always brings with him.

(1)〈.Olfa Works〉BK1 sand beige, replaceable blade bushcraft knife

The reason I love using this knife is that it is from the outdoor line of Olfa, which is famous for its cutters, and the blade comes out quickly and easily. I also like that it is thinner and more compact than the knives I have used in the past. I also like that everything is easy to take apart and wash.

(ii)〈.moose/ room works〉Lanterns

This fire pit is the most compact and easy to use of all the fire pits I have used! The storage bag is roomy enough to hold matches, fire gloves, and other easily soiled fire tools, which is one of my favorite features of this fire pit. . The flames that can be seen through the pentagonal holes on the side of the fire are also beautiful. With the included trestle, you can put a skillet or griddle on it, so it's great for cooking as well."

(iii)〈(③〈) bare bonesMini Edison Lantern LED

. "What can I say, I love the design. When I first started camping, the only cute antique-style lanterns I could find were fuel-based (gasoline or oil) lanterns, but when LED lanterns are this cute, I'm impressed! I love the way it looks on my desk, and it really sets the mood for camping."

〈(④)MSRStake hammer.

. "I've been using rocks and firewood from around the area to hammer pegs, which is not very efficient, but this hammer is so lightweight at 312 grams, I'm glad I can take it with me even when I'm carry camping. The calculated center of gravity, which is light but still able to strike well, is a godsend. For my use, it would be perfect if the rear part was hook shaped."

(v)〈(5)〈.jointerWaterside 18/21

I fish a lot as an activity at camp, and I've never seen anything so compact!" ." The rod is so simple and small that it weighs only 30 grams. It is small enough not to get in the way of my carry-on bag or backpack, so I take it with me whenever I am likely to be near a body of water. The fish I can target are small ones such as gobies, crucian carp, and tenagaebi, but it is an item that can easily add fishing to my outdoor activities."
