Tru! It looks like it has no ventilation. Prime suffocation candidates lol

the perspective on those pillows look so off lol.
I already love my mattress. It was more to try to emulate the usual camping experience, reducing whats available to me. Crazy this stuff exists tho

I actually ended up sleeping in there for like 3 days and done the same thing one other time since then. Anyone else ever did an at-home camp?

It’ll be a while in my journey of posts, but I agree that one pole, teepee style tents have become my favorite.

If you want a better reference, look at the chair, compare it’s size to yesterdays post where it was the size of the tent, basically.

I get all my stuff from Amazon. Still can’t believe this is a real brand. https://amzn.asia/d/0gX3Jfe7 but yeah this one is so nice when it comes to dealing with the ashes.

That’s the second post mentioning decathlon. I’ll have to research if they have a presence here. Thanks for the comment <3

Hey there! Thanks for your post and message. I love it! If by ‘bed’ you mean the inflatable mattress, unfortunately it was delisted on Amazon :( I found it looking for “self inflating mattress” back then. I think this style is common tho as I encountered pumps for it. I haven’t figured out the main brand myself, and I curse myself for falling for a cheap Chinese knockoff…

Lowkey, this tent has become one of my favorites, but I don’t use it enough.

The shop came in clutch! I am so surprised at how many different styles of pegs exist just to solve “tie guy line to this” or “make sure tent no fly away”. I love learning about them. A few weeks ago I went to a camping store for the first time in person and they had 70cm long pegs!!! like WTH you need that long pegs for that shit gon be heavy as fuck, but I am learning and understanding its a balancing act between stability, weight and space taken and I LOVE optimizing it for what I want.

Love all of this, thanks for your advice! This is early in my journey (I’m at 18? camps now) so discovery is high. I’ve not closed myself off completely off cots, but the wider one I got for use with an air mattress takes considerably more space and weight, something thats precious on a bike. I have some plans tho lol. In terms of cooking, from this point on I become a campfire addict. I actually physically can not eat much, so trying to cook a lot was a newb mistake back then and means high heat scenarios for like making rice or pasta are not needed for me. <3

Had to lookup peggy pegs. Those look crazy. They look plastic tho? Are they durable? I think so far I’ve got lucky never getting super soft ground. When pegs pull out its because I trip over the frigging lines lol.

Also Hammock is my secret tent I have that I’ll probably never use. I’m a side sleeper and just can not, as comfy as it it.

Here you go. It pops up in a second and my god I love it’s convenience and space saving as a bike rider (you carry it on your back). It has a weakness in the rain (its waterproof, but windows only close from outside, so you have to get up and out to close them if it starts raining at night).

Also can I just say thank you to this community and everyone who interacted with my last post? The responses all blew me away and the warm reception was so nice. Thank you.

Yeah this looks lit AF and chill. Lotsa green, kids get to play and still nice bonding experience for everyone, absolute win. Also that tent in the foreground looks lowkey pretty tall, I like those more space-y ones.

Nature calls, join us.

Also never even considered a pop-up tent.

It is convenience maxing for sure.

I take a criminally low amount of photos not of the setup. This is the only other pic I took at the site. I’ll try to include more in future posts if I have em.

Oh those are close indeed. Not on this specific trip and since stuff usually originates from Tokyo, I haven’t been yet. But I want to drive and experience Shikoku, so maybe when there’s more time for a bigger trip I’ll do the ferry again to start at Tokushima and then drive and camp towards Kyushuu to catch the return ride. I’m noting these down, thanks.

I don’t want to spread misinformation. What I found when I researched is that wild camping is not really a thing here since most land is privately owned. I did not research past that and focused on managed campsites. I’ve come across some people as camp neighbors who still do it, but I don’t wanna risk it myself as I’m trying to stay here long term.

Nice pics and cool setup! I’ve always said I love driving my bike, but it’s been some time since I did some actual trips. It’s great that I can combine these hobbies, I enjoy the drive out as much as the camping itself.
