Yurucamp△ is a ongoing manga series by the mangaka Afro. The series has been licensed as Laid-Back Camp△ by Yen Press, with the first volume being released in February. An anime adaption produced by C-Station is set to air on January 4th on AT-X, Tokyo MX and other stations and will be available through Crunchyroll.

Kagamihara Nadeshiko moves to a new town, hears she can see Mt. Fuji from a local campground and sets off to see it on her bicycle, while waiting for clouds to clear she falls asleep until the evening. While stranded she meets Shima Rin, a solo camper who prefers camping in the winter. Spurred by this, Nadeshiko joins her school's outdoors club where she meets Inuyama Aoi and Oogaki Chiaki. Also appearing is Saitou Ena, Rin's friend. It's a fun, laid back series about going camping with friends and experiencing the outdoors.


Left to right: Nadeshiko, Chiaki, Aoi, Ena, Rin.

why isn’t the thread title “too in tents” :colbert:


The anime changed the line I guess.

Few things from pixiv:

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.

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://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.

When you think about it, a tent is really just a tarp with a bottom and covers on the entrances.

Keeping warm comes from the Cot (keeping you of the ground, but optional), air mattress (insulating you from the ground) and finally the sleeping bag (keeping heat and air in but wicking moisture out). Base layers also help.

Also you can add a bivy sack over the sleeping bag for a extra layer of insulation, and bug protection if you're using a tarp/lean to/sleeping in the open.

I expect by the end it'll be upgraded to "sure."

Also I've been meaning to ask if anybody knows what kind of knife Rin's cleaver-machete is? Or is that just how they make machetes in Japan? It's mainly because that downward angled grip is wielding me out.

"wielding" you, huh?

Seems that's just how they make 'em in Japan. It's actually quite interesting to see how wood axe development adapts to different needs around the world.

Weirding. I was tired. :v:

I'd imagine a lot of it has to do with not only materials (what's available to make the blade and what's being cut) but also the local idea of how you're supposed to cut stuff. Eg, European saws cut on the push forwards while Japanese saws cut on the draw back.

Also I found this video from a Japanese hunter using one:

To be honest I'd rather wait so that it's as good as this season.

Also as a heads up for anybody who doesn't really follow the seasons, the new Encouragement of Climb started the other day.

I should do that. Here's hoping I'm not an attention whore. What's Afro's handle?

From a quick look it appears that Afro does not have twitter account (or much of a online presence at all), so I would suggest tweeting it at the anime account. The common hashtags appear to be #yurucamp, #ゆるキャン, and #ゆるキャンΔ.

There's a guy on Twitter who does Yurucamp fan art, co-starring military equipment and personnel from the USSR and Warsaw Pact nations. It's the single nicheiest thing in the world and it's amazing.

Is Crunchyroll going to be getting that too?

Probably not since it's a TV show. It might get fansubbed, but that relies on the whims of the people who translate dramas and Tokusatsu stuff.

I am excite.

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.

Is this series primarily focused on fall/winter camping, or does the comic have them doing trips in the spring and summer as well?

Just got to the Lake Yamanaka episodes and it's neat seeing places I've been to. That onsen is indeed very nice and I'm sad I didn't get there until after sunset to get the sweet mountain view while bathing. Maybe if I stayed another day for the bath I wouldn't have taken a tumble down the mountain at highway speeds the next morning.



Hit a patch of gravel on a descent and bad times happened, but I got lucky since my injuries could have been much worse at the speed I was going. The GPS track looks pretty funny, with my heart rate abruptly stopping and the speed slowly picking up again as the ambulance carried me to the hospital.



The story is still in the first winter. In the second chapter the outdoors club has their 980 yen tent they ordered for the summer but didn't get to use because it showed up in September, indicating it's probably early or mid October. Then the Christmas camping trip (Volume 4, end of season 1) happens, and Rin goes to Izu for her New Years trip (Volume 5) and then the whole club goes to Izu. (volume 9 and the end of season 2)

The raws are probably up to like, late April or early May by my reckoning.
