Oh hey, so this has a thread now. Not gonna lie, I dusted off the plastic bin where I keep all my camping stuff, and took inventory. I ordered a replacement sternum strap for my ruck, and I'm probably going to go camping next weekend. I even have books to read! =3

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 edit: ARGH, MUST STOP LOOKING AT CAMPING STUFF.

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. edit: holy crap, the Gigapower 2.0 is cheap. edit edit: holy crap, the snow peak chopsticks are back. edit edit edit: I hate gear lust.

I am not doing one this time! That is just a bundle of firewood set on end. It was loving 80 degrees out here earlier today, which means that any fire I do build will be short-lifed and in the firepit anyways. If I were to assemble a Swedish fire torch, I have a wire coat hangar I use for tying split logs together.

After-action report:  I had forgotten what the sounds were like. All night, there was this gentle wash of the wind blowing through the trees, like rain, or a gentle surf. I got a recording, but it's marred by little pops of bits of trees falling off and landing on my tent. I also wish I'd gotten a better photo of how they all lean in one direction, from the wind, but my little exploratory walk turned into a much longer and harder hike than I anticipated it to be, and I kind of just forgot about taking photos at that point. Still too much light pollution to see much of any kind of stars, though.  Don't be a doof like I was, kids, bring water. Also, wind blows over canyons, so it *really* got warm down by the lake.  That little zig-zag trail I took back because I saw that it was getting close to check-out? friggin 45 degrees with minimal switchbacks, that then levelled off into closer to 15.

It's a special edition because it has a different side plate than the stock ones: edit: holy balls, the Showa Press website is so loving Web 1.0 it's painful. http://www.showapress.jp (as in, the sheet metal shop that makes these things.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72FJSwegork So I was listening to that one mashup of Yurucamp x Jackson 5 that I linked last week, and apparently some South Park made it in at the end for wtf I dunno reasons. Which is a shame, because I think they did a pretty good job of it. So here's a better execution overall, with Earth Wind, and Campfire feat. Jackson 5.

Anime coming later this year. https://mangadex.org/manga/18302/isekai-izakaya-quot-nobu-quot Ristorante Paradiso, Italian silver foxes on parade, the anime. Also, food.

Not gonna lie, it *is* pretty good bundle. If I didn't already have everything, acquired in piecemeal by scouring clearances and holiday sales everywhere, I'd be tempted to jump on it. Just about the only thing that I notice it *doesn't* have is a ground sheet, so you'll either want to pick that up, or use a tarp. Cheaper than the 45,000 JPY sleeping bag by less than half, too. =P (sign up for an REI membership, and you can get it for $199, as opposed to the listed $275 until the 29th of this month.) for anyone interested: https://www.rei.com/product/127720/rei-co-op-backpacking-bundle SwissArmyDruid fucked around with this message at 04:23 on Mar 26, 2018 |

Well, it *is* a backpacking set, and if there's one thing that tarps *don't* do well, it's compact down. Not a problem for car camping though, tarps are what my family used for a decade until I started going camping on my own.
