i think the focus with stoves and fire pits is because most campsites in asia don't allow ground fires, whereas virtually all US campgrounds do, unless there is a conditions-specific burn ban in effect.

That said, I have been getting deep into asian camping stoves. Like, there is this entire segment of camping that's completely foreign to western camping, with the gas bottles and the fully self-enclosed tents and emphasis on lightness and melting nylon that you don't have in Asia. There's an entire culture that revolves around camps you bring your heating into, like... well. Yurts.

Like how Grandpa camps, with the center-pole tent.

I, too, have seen the blazing camp furnaces of the carbound Japanese camper and been tempted. But i have yet to be tricked into spending money on being ... *hiss* ... more comfortable than I need to.

Edit: for real though, anyone bought one of those stoves? That's a lot more wood than my west-coast self can muster, but it looks so comfy.

i'm kind of brainlet right now and can't parse what you're illustrating here but when i used to be in boy scouts doing tons of camping our troop (an asian one) would always have both gas propane burners for meal prep along with setting up campfires from scratch. the two times i've gone camping past scouting the gas burner has been a mainstay for both times even if i knew i was going to strike up an actual campfire. it's just convenient to have a stable surface to boil water or whatever without having to pack an entire car's worth of garbage

yeah, I just assume that most places don't allow open fires so a jetboil will suffice to cover most cases.

this was the same case for me, I think. Coleman butane campstoves for cooking, campfire for warming up and making marshmallows.

I can't take those things seriously, Snow Peak look like they went, "hey, you know those butane hot pot burner things that we make nabe on at home? Let's try miniaturizing one of those!" And they did.

Hot tenting is what I'm talking about.

Brought about because it has not been a warm spring where I'm at, so you could still have the excuse for bringing a heavier tent and heating the entire inside.

At any rate, I'd like to go camping overseas for the experience, and fall/winter/early spring camping is my jam AND WHAT I'D BE DOING RIGHT NOW IF I WEREN'T QUARANTINED.

edit: And now it's raining, so yeah, I would love to be out there hot tenting it, with the flap open and just watching the rain come down around the trees.

Yeah, and? Those burners are basically a camp stove with more sheet metal to hide the guts behind.

I don't remember the show ever showing off liquid fueled stoves, given it's focus on winter camping. Or maybe technology has moved on from what it was 20 years ago.

do you have a liquid fuel stove? The next stove I get is probably gonna be an msr whisperlite if I can get enough mileage out of the butane stove. How do you like it? I worry a lot about leaks when it comes to liquid fuel, so I've had a preference for gas for now.

I've been using my msr jetboil up to this point. It's a reliable friend and I'll still take it with me for winter camping. But I'd like to try something other than MREs or a cold sandwich for dinner or granola bars for breakfast.

also, a lot of camping websites tend to extensively crap on butane stoves so I'd like to see if there's any fuel to whatever claims are simmering in their heads.

i have two little primus essential trail stoves. liquid fuel was miserable and high maintenance 20 years ago. i can’t imagine using one now. the msr windburner and jetboils rule, though. i’d have one if i was backpacking, but the gf and i are strictly outclub casuals. i’d have a big ol’ dual burner if i had the storage space, or some ridiculous snow peak IGT setup.

i couldn’t camp with cold food, though, even if i’m just heating up beans or making eggs.

we managed to sneak out last week for some ultimate social isolation with our weeb-inspired setup:

if you’re at any appreciable altitude, you want isobutane instead of pure butane, but aside from that, i can’t imagine what they would complain about.

camping pancakes rule, but the syrup seems to get everywhere, just like bacon grease. i do eggs, sausage, and coffee. many some tinned cinnamon rolls if i’m feeling fancy. if you like coffee, you gotta get a french press attachment for your jet boil.

nice

this is laid-back camp club anyway, not the backcountry camping club, so casuals are the norm

I have an msr PocketRocket (I think) but it's never been used more than a handul of times, and it's more of an emergency stove if the jetboil ever has problems (the jetboil never has problems)

Preordered. Hopefully shipping options won’t just be DHL when it gets released, whenever that is; friends are having trouble with any other option currently because of the lack of SAL and Japan Post shipping to the US right now.

Now that I have funds due to unemployment coming in and not having anything major to spend it on, I guess I’ll get the other nendos from the series that I saw for sale at my local (but not really, it’s 2 hours by subway away in Queens, but also 3 blocks from my parents’ place and my doctor’s office) animu store, once they open back up after this lockdown, whenever that is.

...And preordered on CDJapan, hopefully the points I have there should cover it and the massive shipping costs I have to pay now that I can’t slow ship things from Japan because of the travel ban making SAL packet shipping on passenger planes impossible...

Been collecting the manga as it comes out, and it’s really making me anticipate this winter when the new season premiers. Lot of material to adapt and look forward to. Had to buy Volume 9 twice when I accidentally left my first copy on the Express Bus when I was heading to work last week.


They’ve also cast Kurosawa Tomoyo (who I mostly know as Misaki/Michelle from Hello, Happy World in Bandori and Kumiko in Euphonium) as Nadeshiko’s childhood friend who will show up for probably a couple of episodes. Aoi’s sister will probably have a bigger role, but I forget who they had as her seiyuu in her brief appearance in Heya Camp stuffs in Season 1.

I haven't really been able to really do any outdoors stuff due to the pandemic, and then the heat, and then the smoke, but last month I remembered there's a local trail that doesn't get much traffic because it goes up 500 feet over a quarter/half mile. But the view ended up being worth it:


I've watched a bit of "Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater" too, but it's more like Encouragement of Climb but about fishing.
