WHAT'S YOUR OUTDOOR STYLE? vol.1
Chill sometimes active.
Packraft camping for hybrid fun.

After a full morning of fun, we return to base camp to dry our wet gear and relax. Naturally, we did not cook an elaborate meal. This time, we brought freeze-dried rice called "The Small Twist Trailfoods.

It is originally meant to be carried on mountain hikes, but the quality is just too good. The quality of the food is so good that it can be prepared in a fraction of the time it would take to eat it at home.

Uma! Possibly the best couscous dish in my history.... Where can I get this?"

Fukuda-san's appetite was also very good. Once his stomach was full, we quickly built a fire and the "roller roaster" was ready to go. We call it a "roasting stick," but in essence it is a telescoping camping fork that you just stick all sorts of things on and roast them.

I've grilled all kinds of things, but the one I recommend most is wiener. And Chawesen is the best. By roasting them over an open flame, the fat is released to a good degree, and they are somehow delicious.

Mr. Fukuda is completely absorbed in grilling. He was trying to find his own favorite level of doneness, and even though he was just grilling, there was a sense of entertainment. As the sausage is roasting over the fire, suddenly the sausage makes a sizzling sound, which is the signal that it is ready to eat. This is the signal that it is time to eat. If you are a master of grilling, you can make two or three wieners cry at the same time.

It's good that it's this simple," he said. When camping, you tend to eat a lot of food, and the next day your stomach gets upset.

I was stuck over lunch, and then the sun came out a bit.

Wanna go for another paddle?"

That's fine, or you can just let the wiener cry all over the place and have a feast. Fukuda-san seemed to like this camping style.

So next time, let's load up the packraft with camping gear and go on a 2-day/1-night river cruise!
