All language subtitles for Futari Solo Camp_16_1920_1080 eng

All kinds of laws stand in the way
of establishing a single campsite.

Building cottages requires
submitting a hotel business notice.

Selling alcohol requires
a liquor sales license.

Providing raw or cooked food
requires a restaurant business license,

and the fire department must be notified.

All of these may not be needed,

but being aware of the requirements
can make it easier to plan.

Solo Camping for Two

Episode 16 Graduation Test?!

What kind of campsite do I want to make?

Being near a river is a must.

And I prefer upstream rivers with rocky areas.

Individual campsites should be divided to
some degree so guests can enjoy solo camping.

Come to think of it, Hoshizaki said
she feels uneasy when visibility is poor.

In that case...

I could build the management building
someplace with a good view.

Then there's campfires.

Using stands is fine, but I'd rather
let guests build fires on the ground.

Okay, I'm started to get excited!

Bathrooms, Forest Site A, Forest Site B, Site A, Site B Downstream
Step, Bridge, Good View, Solo Site, 4 Sites?
Check-in Parking Area, Trash, Ashes, Lodge C, Upstream
Check-in, Lodge B, Mountain Stream, Management Building, Firewood Storage, Lodge A

Something like this, I think.

Well, I'm free to fantasize
about whatever I want.

Anyway, Hoshizaki's input
is already applicable.

There are things we miss
when we think by ourselves.

If I want to create a campsite that
beginners and veterans alike can enjoy,

then it could be important
to ask for more opinions.

That said, telling long-standing acquaintances
about my dream is a little embarrassing.

I might as well give it a shot.

Huh?!

What is it?

G-Gen-san wants me...

to choose our next campsite!

And?

I-I-I-It's a huge deal!

Gen-san's always chosen our campsites.

Th-Th-This is the first time
he's asked me to choose.

C-Could this be...

Could it be what?

A... A graduation test?

What makes you think that?

Well, originally, we agreed he'd teach me
until I could go camping by myself.

No! I don't wanna graduate yet!

Are you stupid?

Stupid?!

Yeah. That guy who prioritizes camping
above all else is letting you choose.

It means he trusts you
and sees you as his partner.

His p-partner?

Y-You think so?

Don't get too mushy.

Don't you have a campsite to choose?

Oh, right.

Where do you normally go?

To mountains, forests, or rivers.

Oh, we once went to the beach.

That's pretty vague.

Maybe he's getting you to experience
a variety of environments.

It sounds fun.

Yeah. The sunrises and sunsets look
different depending on the location.

It's beautiful.

It's not very sexy, though.

Shizuku, you've been poisoned.

I sense a rustic quality that appeals to men.

What? You think so?

Yes! It sounds exactly like him.

I know! Since he's given you
the opportunity to choose,

you should pick someplace he wouldn't go.

What? But I'm not sure there are
any places he doesn't know of.

So pick someplace he wouldn't
choose even if he knows about it.

Some enthusiasts can be
surprisingly conservative.

Someplace Gen-san wouldn't go, huh?

Well, I made it to Yamanashi.

Kofu Station

I haven't been here much,
despite how close it is.

Well, let's see what kind
of campsite Shizuku chose.

Seems like it's pretty far from the bus stop.

It's starting to cool down,
but walking this far is exhausting.

But imagining how good the first drink
will taste once I get there keeps me going.

Kurosaka Auto Camping Ground

Gen-san!

Hey.

You're drenched in sweat.

It was farther than I thought.

I'm sorry I didn't check.

But the view from here is great!

The view, huh?

What's fun about looking at a city
when we've left the hustle and bustle?

Oh, well. I'll keep my mouth shut.

I'll go pitch my tent over there.

Okay.

I'll have to make up for it
by treating him extra well.

Gen-san...

What?

H-His abs!

What is it?

Oh, uh... I thought you
might take a breather.

I was just about to make a
light snack, if you'd like some.

Yeah? In that case, thanks.

O-Of course!

It'll be ready soon. Just give me a minute.

S-Sure...

I saw Gen-san's abs!

I knew he was fit, but he's shredded!

My heart is pounding!

I-I should focus on cooking.

It's done!

A simple snack of uncured ham
and Yamanashi peaches!

I've heard of ham and melon,
but not peaches.

Let's see.

So good!

Is this what they call a food pairing?

The saltiness and sweetness are perfect.

This flavor is perfect for an exhausted body.

It's delicious.

Thank you!

That hits the spot.

You must be exhausted.

Sorry the walk was longer than expected.

Choosing a campsite is hard.

Maybe it's not good to
just choose based on vibes.

It's fun, but it can lead
to unexpected failures.

Especially for campers
like us who travel on foot.

Because we travel on foot?

Yeah. Over 80% of campers travel by car.

That many?

So we can't help that most campsites
assume guests will come by car.

In that case, how do you choose campsites?

Come to think of it,
I've never really talked about that.

All right.

I'll tell you the secrets of the
Kinokura campsite selection method!

Secrets?!

Choosing a campsite seems simple,
but there's a lot to it.

It's both the starting point
and the farthest extreme.

I-It's that deep?

Camping is a hobby that involves
staying someplace overnight.

In some ways, it's a luxurious hobby
that requires two days to enjoy.

That's why everyone wants to enjoy both days.

They want to choose a campsite
they'll be glad to have visited.

True. By looking for a campsite this time,

I realized that there are
a ton to choose from.

Exactly. There are over
2,000 campsites in the country.

In the Kanto region alone, there are 400.

Just hearing the numbers illustrates
how hard it is to choose the best campsite.

But what is the best campsite?

Is there a campsite that everyone
would agree is the best?

The answer is "no."

It doesn't exist.

Huh?

It's because campsites exist in nature.

Therefore, no two campsites
have the same terrain.

Because camping is a hobby, the owner's
preferences are pronounced and diverse.

Preferences...

Like how you enjoy rivers and
building campfires on the ground.

Yeah, but your preferences
are different, right?

In other words, the preferences
of campers are also diverse.

There's no best or worst
that everyone can agree on.

You look for campsites that suit you.

Remember that that's
the most important thing.

Okay!

That said, I don't know how
to identify my own preferences.

In this day and age, the most
useful tool for finding a campsite...

is this!

A s-smartphone?

Arguably the most familiar
modern convenience.

They're essential.

This is the Kinokura method.

No, since we're in Yamanashi,

this is the Furinkazan
of choosing a campsite!

Select potential campsites

Start by looking for potential campsites!

Be as swift as the wind

Forests. Mountain streams. Beaches.

Choose from a variety
of campsite environments.

Do you want to see the sunrise?
The sunset? The starry sky?

Build a campfire on the ground?

Establish your goals for
the trip, and search online.

These days, you can view campsites
on official websites or booking pages.

I'm kind of surprised you use the internet.

There's more.

Next, with a mind as still as the forest,
calmly examine the information!

Be as still as the forest

Official websites and booking pages
should have brief descriptions.

Kawai Campsite

Check the photos and precise location.

Noro Lodge Campsite

Eliminate anything that
doesn't feel right to you.

Some candidates will be hard to eliminate.

You need a still mind and self-control.

Finally, the real selection process begins!

With the intensity of a roaring flame,
dive deeper into the information!

Be as fierce as fire

For better or for worse,
information on official websites

is always presented to be flattering.

I see. Well, of course they want
to make themselves look good.

What's useful here are private blogs
and social media profiles!

What?! You're on social media?!

Only to gather information.

You can read reviews of campsites
and even surprising stories.

Social media is a treasure
trove of information.

Once you've narrowed down your choices,

with a perspective as high as a mountain,
you begin the final check.

Be as steadfast as a mountain

Information on the local area
gleaned from maps

and satellite photos of the campsite's layout

can give you a sense
of the location and scale.

Finally, choose a campsite and,
if possible, make a reservation.

And that's the Furinkazan.

The more thoroughly you research,
the fewer failures you'll experience.

But ultimately, they're still just estimates.

Some places will fall short
of your expectations,

while others will greatly exceed them.

Ultimately, reviews are subjective,
and information is just information.

The only way to assess a campsite's true worth
is to go there and see it for yourself.

So there's a lot to choosing a campsite,

and I can't quit visiting new ones.

I'm hoping to do my own
research in the future.

Great. Let me know if you
find any nice campsites.

I will!

There are lots of campsites I'd like to visit.

Hey.

What is it, Gen-san?

You know how I asked you to
choose a campsite this time?

I'm not sure this makes up for it,
but I thought I'd cook something.

Really? You're going to cook... the...

What?!

I wanted to try smoking something.

Try it? You mean...

Yeah. This is my first time.

What?!

I'm thinking about broadening
my perspective, too.

I'm glad you're trying something new, but...

I-I wish you had let me know beforehand.

I prepared ingredients for tonight's dinner.

What?

S-Sorry. You're right.

My head was full of thoughts
of smoking foods...

Right. Of course.

H-He feels really bad about it.

He's never apologized to me before,
so I hadn't noticed,

but when Gen-san reflects on his actions...

he's kind of cute, like a big dog
who's done something bad!

I know! We can have a luxurious
breakfast tomorrow morning.

That solves the problem.

Really? If you think that'll work...

I'm really sorry.

You don't have to apologize so much.

Didn't you say we should
enjoy our mistakes, too?

Y-You're right. Let's move past this.

Exactly!

Besides, I'm curious about smoking.

I'd like you to show me how it's done.

Sure. Check it out.

There are three smoking methods:

warm smoking, cold smoking, and the
method we'll use this time, hot smoking.

The smoking method changes
according to the smoking temperature.

Warm smoking is the most popular. It involves
smoking at 30ºC to 80ºC for about a day.

The advanced cold smoking method
involves smoking at 15ºC to 30ºC

and can take several weeks.

Smoking time also affects how moisture
is removed from the ingredients.

This affects how long the
finished product stays good.

Hot smoking, the method we'll use,

involves smoking at high temperatures
between 80ºC and 140ºC.

It only requires about ten minutes to an hour.

Huh. That sounds simpler than I expected.

It's my first time, too, but once I get
used to it, maybe I can do it regularly.

Hot smoking involves smoking ingredients

using the smoke produced
by heating smoking chips.

Since the smoking time is short,
not much moisture is lost,

so it's not great for preserving,

but it also means the
final product remains juicy!

Okay, let's get everything set up
while the fire settles down.

You're using a chimney this time?

Smokers are a bit large, and I didn't know
if I'd use one again in the future.

It's all about ingenuity.

The shape is pretty close, and I figured
we could use this with a little fiddling.

First, I'll attach the brace to the chimney.

It's best to remove any parts not needed
for smoking at this point.

That'll make it easier to wrap the chimney
in foil to prevent the smoke from escaping.

Once it's wrapped past the top,

fold the extra foil down into the chimney
so it doesn't come off.

Next, create a dish out of foil,
and place it on top of the brace.

This will prevent the drippings from falling
onto the smoking chips and getting them wet.

Now we skewer the meat I prepared,

hang it from an S-hook,
and place it over the chimney.

It's so DIY!

Now we place a grill over the campfire stand.

Do the wood chips go in here?

Yeah, perfect.

Place the homemade smoker on top of that,
and finally, cover it with aluminum foil.

Now we monitor the temperature and wait.

I can't wait to see how it turns out!

What do you think?

A real man's smoked pork belly chashu!

It definitely looks right.

But how does it taste?

So good!

Gen-san, this is really good!

Really?

It's perfectly cooked and amazingly fragrant.

Yeah?

Then maybe I'll cook again once in a while.

Sounds good!

I know.

Since you made this delicious chashu,
could we add it as a topping to my dish?

A topping?

Yeah! Since we're in Yamanashi,
I thought we could try some local cuisine...

no, a new soul food!

Hot and salty miso chashu raho!

Raho?

As in hoto soup made with ramen.

It's the perfect hot food for a hot summer.

That's good.

It's perfectly salty.

I don't come here often, so I thought
it might be fun to sample local flavors.

You're right.

By the way, why'd you choose this campsite?

Was there some particular reason?

Well... look.

The view is nice during the day, but
the true charm of this place is at night.

The city at night, huh?

I thought you might not be
interested in this kind of place,

but if you're letting me choose,

I thought it'd be fun to go
someplace you wouldn't.

True. I generally avoid campsites
with views of man-made cities.

I thought so.

But maybe I was just prejudiced.

It's not bad.

Being honest with yourself
changes how you see the world.

This place was just that convincing.

Sometimes I feel like
Shizuku peels back my shell.

Huh? Why's he lookin' at me?

Maybe this is what's good
about solo camping for two.

Could you choose our campsites sometimes?

Huh? Uh, sure!

I'd love to!

W-Wait a minute, Gen-san!

That's that lady from the other day!
