The San Francisco bay area has a lot of camping opportunities. This is Mt Diablo at the day i arrived.


It got real foggy, real cold, really quick during the night.



Still foggy as poo poo the next morning


Oh did I mention it was my first camping trip ever? It was actually fun!

Good!
I'm glad this is getting more people camping! (Assuming you went because of this?

More people camping is good no matter what.)

Negative, this camping trip was before the manga for this show even existed. I blame firewatch instead.

Seems like the merchandising is starting out strong; they partnered with one of the companies that made a tool used by Rin in the manga. Also the usual various trinkets.

... I don't even camp, but that is a pretty cool / cute grill + stove + campfire box thing.

So I looked this up. Apparently it's something in chapter 7 or 8?

https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E7%AC%91s...?language=en_US

$120 bucks?!

I looked it up too, it looks very cool but not worth it esp. if you're shipping from JP to US. There was some discussion of camping gear economics in the general daily life thread.

At that price, I am more than willing to build my own. Four sheet metal panels, with slots cut in them to make a self-standing trough. Something like this



but smaller, and with 1mm gauge steel.

caveat: I am a machinist.

I would note that there appears to be different sizes, though. That other one is 365 mm × 206 mm × 290 mm (14.3in x 8.1in x 11.4in)

This one: https://www.amazon.co.jp/SHO-0004S-.../dp/B00KKQASKQ/

is about half the price at 215mm × 122mm × 165mm (8.5in x 4.8in x 6.5in) seems a lot more reasonable.

I'm actually just kind of marvelling at the brand's page, though. https://www.amazon.co.jp/s/ref=sr_n...rnid=2321255051

The stove company has a English site here:
http://eng.sho-s.jp/index.html

As I recall the scanlator's notes for Chapter 9 say that basically a guy with a machine/stamping shop started making boutique stoves after the 2008 recession as a side project to help keep the shop solvent, and apparently it turned into a major business.

Suuuuuper boutique is right. I'm looking at their youtube page linked from their website, and they have entire wood stoves with smokestacks coming out the top of their tents. Like, the kind of stuff I'd expect to see in an L.L. Bean catalog. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMD_boi3HF8

But hey, if it gets people responsibly camping.... :shrug:

I mean I've been using this cheap plastic mug to pour stuff in...
NOOOOOOO


Also yeah, I checked out all their products when I read the manga. The B-6 Boy is pretty sweet, and also coming from a machinist family (i got out of the business while still a "machine operator", hadn't earned my wingscalipers yet) it seems fairly easy to make with proper planning and patterning. The hardest bit would be the joints but even then it shouldn't be too bad. Get the holes in the right place though!
(Memories :negative: )

But even then that's a lot of time spent on something and if you spend so much time on it ... would the cost of just paying the guy with the tooling set to do it be worth not spending however many hours planning (and likely troubleshooting) this?

IMO, going by what I've learned in my manufacturing classes, the prices are reasonable enough for something that looks well-engineered, well made, and is produced domestically as opposed to using overseas labor.

For a comparative illustration, here's some US-made wood-burning camp stoves:
A 5 x 5 inch folding firebox. $60 without accessories. (case, adjustable fire grate, grill, etc)
http://www.fireboxstove.com/5-inch-folding-firebox

Two types of wood-gas stove where you start a fire and that fire bakes wood to produce wood gas. Both about $100.
https://bushbuddystove.com/products/bushbuddy-stove
https://www.solostove.com/solo-stove-titan

An actual stove you'll have to carry on your back over the Yukon pass, $237 and 14lbs. (I designed something similar to this for a welding class I was taking, but it turned out I'm not very good at welding sheet metal with acetylene)
https://arcticoventent.com/stoves/wood/

Now I would say the notable thing is that with the exception of the first one, you can't grill straight on top of them and would need to use a frying pan or something instead.

I have been on a backpacking camp bend lately and I am a sleeping bag and a sleeping pad away from having my ideal lightweight beackpack, but that would set me back $500 :shepspends:
Not to mention I am moving to Oregon later this summer, so I may have to get cold weather gear :shepspends::shepspends:
On the plus side I can learn how to hunt Deer and fish, oh wait gotta have to buy gear for that :shepspends::shepspends::shepspends:

Also if you ever go camping in a place that doesnt allow you to gather wood to burn, may i recomend ESBIT cube folding stoves?
They come in small

and very small


Also the cubes themselves make for good kindling. Downside is that they have a horrible fishy smell.

I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

eh, imho I hated cooking with those solid fuel tablets and mini folding stoves. I recommend just spending the extra money and carry weight on an isobutane tank with a mini stovetop for the convenience and satisfying usability, and only use solid fuel tablets in backup emergencies.

Esbits have this problem where they leave a gummy residue on the bottom of your pots.

If you need kindling THAT badly, cotton balls, each with one half dipped into petroleum jelly and stored in a film canister does the job, and is more versatile.

And most times, both stove and can will store inside your boiling cup. That's a thing they actually size them for.

Keep it between the buoys
Stoves can even be pretty compact if you want to cook for a big group



I have this monster for car camping like a fat american. Two 10k BTU burners, a 5l pot and a 10" frying pan so you can offset any exercise you accidentally did in the outdoors.

that is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen

I’ve only eaten jetboil friendly foods since California does not really allow outdoor cooking in any parks (for obvious reasons) but this setup might be safe enough to go backpacking with.

12 pounds? Screw it, I’ll carry that thing for dozens of miles as long as I get to cook like a king at the end.

It's almost always just no open fires, not no cooking.
Take the Channel Islands National Park. It is extremely susceptible to fire, being islands with a decent bit of dry brush, high winds, and no firefighting capabilities outside of fire extinguishers. They still let you cook with stoves - almost everywhere will.

Its kind of neat because it runs off those cheap Coleman propane cylinders instead of the expensive jetboil fuel and you can get a satellite burner that's compatible with all the regular jetboil containers. So you can have the big burners for cooking and a little one for heating water for coffee or whatever.
