Solo Camping for Two

Episode 19 I'm Not Scared!

On top of having no free time recently,

solo camping for two
somehow turned into three.

My stress is peaking.

I'll lose my mind if I don't go solo camping.

That should do it.

I'll make one more.

I'll finally make a ton
of feather sticks today.

Tinder Feather Kindling Feather

True to their name,
feather sticks are pieces of wood

carved to resemble feathers,
used as tinder or kindling.

Cut firewood into pieces
roughly three centimeters thick

and place a blade against the edge.

Insert the blade parallel to the wood
and shave it into thin curls.

Raise and stop the blade
to avoid shaving off the curls.

Turn the wood to find new edges
and repeat the process.

Oops. I made too many.

Well, it was a good way to relax.

I'll build a campfire next.

Even though I spend less time
camping by myself now—

no, because I do, this time feels special.

I need time to be alone in nature
and gaze into a fire.

I've been particularly busy recently, too.

Now, then!

Convenience store meals
these days are crazy!

You can make tasty snacks just
by warming them in hot water.

The breeze feels good.

I've gotten used to Shizuku, but spending
time with other people still exhausts me.

I can handle it if we're just
talking about camping, but...

But if I'm going to run a campsite by myself,

should I improve my communication skills?

Has it been about a year since I met Shizuku?

Spending time with her might be
improving my communication skills.

I think I've gotten better over the past year.

Not now, anyway.

I'll tell you someday.

Oh, hello.

He looks refreshed.

Can I choose our next campsite?

Is there someplace she wants to go?

"I'll leave it up to you." Sent.

"Then I choose the Lake Tanuki
campground," huh?

Let's see. Lake Tanuki...

Shizuoka, huh? That's a little far.

But I haven't been to a lake recently.

I'm excited.

Mt. Fuji looks amazing!

It's right next to the lake, too.

Shizuku picked a good spot.

I'm starting to get nervous.

No, wait. What reason
do I have to be nervous?

I'm just...

I'm just telling Shizuku
about my dream, that's all!

I want to open my own campsite.

When I told Kana, I felt obligated,
or like it made sense to tell her.

I've never told anyone
I'm still spending time with.

I don't know how she'll respond
to hearing about my dream.

I thought I'd made up my mind...

Good morning, Gen-san.

Good...

When did you get here?

A little while ago, but you
were sleeping so peacefully.

Crap! I can't believe I fell asleep!

I haven't steeled my resolve yet!

Wh-What should I do?

When should I tell her?

I, uh...

Uh, um...

Where'd you get that axe?

Oh, you noticed?

Yeah. It's pretty nice.

Right? Seeing you use yours
made me want my own!

N-Not now. I'll tell her later.

Is something wrong, Gen-san?

Nope!

I'm not scared!

I just think it's better to wait
until we've settled in!

Oh, look at the time.

Should I have woken you?

No, it's fine.

For now, I'll build a campfire.

B-By the way, what made you choose this spot?

Huh?

Oh, uh... I'm not sure how to put it.

I got the impression you
don't come this way often,

or to lakes for that matter.

I thought it might be nice to mix things up.

That's just my excuse, actually.

I learned about this place while looking
for the next place to camp with my friends.

Oh, that's why?

Yeah. I thought it seemed
really nice while looking into it.

I wanted to enjoy this view with you.

J-Just kidding!

What am I even saying, right?

No...

Views like this are nice once in a while.

Yeah!

The main dish will take a while longer,

so you can start by warming up with these.

Thanks.

Instant milk miso soup
and edamame with chili flakes!

So good!

Putting something warm in my stomach
and washing it down with beer hits the spot.

Thank you.

Milk and miso, huh?
They go together pretty well.

I know. It's a surprisingly
good combination.

It's getting to be that time of year
when you appreciate warm food.

It's really gotten cold.

Could I tell her now?

Uh...

By the way, I have a question for you.

Huh?

I was wondering what to do about
winter bedding and wanted your opinion.

Bedding?

It's about to get properly cold,
and I've done my own research,

but I still wanted you to teach me.

I guess we've never
really discussed it before.

What did you do last year?

I wore extra layers and used
an all-seasons sleeping bag.

I even tried combining a blanket I rented
from the campsite with my sleeping bag.

I see.

That's one way to do it.

Using what you already have or renting gear
if you have to are viable options.

In the short term, that's way cheaper.

Cheaper?

That's right.

Winter bedding—or specifically, winter
sleeping bags—can be a real challenge.

Wh-What do you mean?

Broadly speaking, there are
two types of sleeping bags.

Oh, I know that.

There are mummy-style bags that wrap
around you like an Egyptian mummy,

and rectangular bags that
are like a futon folded in half.

Exactly.

Mummy bags stick to your body
and retain heat well,

and because they're smaller than
rectangular bags, they're easy to store.

I see.

But isn't it hard to sleep when
you're wrapped up like a mummy?

Yeah, it can feel constricting.

Rectangular bags are definitely
the winner when it comes to comfort.

I thought so.

Portability is a huge draw, though.

Right.

So should walking campers
choose mummy bags?

A rectangular bag meant for
summer months could work.

Sometimes you don't
even need a sleeping bag.

Summer, huh?

There are different types of sleeping
bags for the various seasons, right?

Aside from summer bags,
there are the almighty three-season bags

for spring, summer, and fall,
and finally, winter bags.

These are the three primary types.

I see.

By the way, what makes
winter bags challenging?

In order to retain heat,
winter bags require a lot of stuffing.

Broadly speaking, two types of materials
are used for this stuffing.

The first is down,
the under-feathers of a bird.

Height 178cm Regular Size
Maximum Width 80cm x Total Length 210cm

Spanish Duck Down

Down 90% Feather 10%

Outer Material Nylon 100%
Inner Material Nylon 100%

It insulates well, is lightweight,
and compresses easily,

making it easy to store.

The other material is synthetic
fiber, such as polyester.

Use with washing net Do not twist or wring

Product Name: Multi-layer Sleeping Bag
Product Number: 123456789
Materials: Outer Material Polyester
Inner Material Polyester
Stuffing Polyester
Size: Approximately 90 x 200cm
Weight: Approximately 4.9kg
Ideal Temperature: -5ºC or higher

They're water-resistant,
easy to use, and inexpensive.

Huh.

Those are just the positives, though.

There must be negatives, right?

Well, yeah.

Ideal Temperature

Winter down sleeping bags that use
copious amounts of high-quality stuffing

are incredibly expensive.

Winter sleeping bags that use large quantities
of not-easily-compressed synthetic fibers

are still very large when stored.

What?!

You're right. Both come with concerns.

Yeah, but suffice to say,

your winter bedding should
keep you prepared for anything!

You won't be able to sleep if you're barely
at or below the ideal temperature,

and interrupted sleep
has massive repercussions.

Come to think of it, I once felt stiff
for a while after waking up.

Your blood vessels and muscles contract
to keep your body heat from escaping.

So that's what that was.

Sleeping bag labels list ideal temperature
ranges and temperature limits,

but you shouldn't take that to mean
you'll be comfortable up to those limits.

Think of them as the limits
of what's just barely tolerable.

I'll remember that.

Novice campers tend to place too much
confidence in temperature forecasts,

but campsites on highlands or near water
can become exceptionally cold.

You could say that about this campsite, then.

Exactly.

It's even colder above cold ground.

It's important to keep warm with mats or cots.

Cots were originally simple beds
known as "camp beds"

used in military camps and field hospitals.

They create space between
the sleeper and the ground,

allowing one to sleep more comfortably
in summers and winters.

Do you not use one because they're big?

Yeah. They're not for camping on foot.

They don't fit inside one-person tents, either.

They're worth using if you're camping by car,
you have room to spare in your tent,

and you aren't limited by
how much you can pack.

I see.

I don't think cots are for me, but
I feel like I need a winter sleeping bag.

You should check them out
the next time you're at a shop.

You can choose while asking
an employee questions,

and some stores will even let you try them.

Got it. I'll do that.

Sure.

Damn! I missed my timing again!

I can go on and on about sleeping bags.

This shouldn't be hard.

Okay, on to the next dish!

Sashimi, huh? Nice.

What are you doing?

Tsk, tsk. This isn't all.

It's a sashimi salad assembled in a mold!

That looks good.

Put some on a shisho leaf and eat it.

Don't mind if I do.

So good!

This is really good.

Thanks.

Today's main dish is almost ready,
so give me a few more minutes.

I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks for always making stuff
that seems like a lot of work.

No problem. I enjoy it.

And besides, we're sort of celebrating today.

It's been almost a year since
we started solo camping for two.

Did you remember?

Just kidding.

I remember.

Right, of course you didn't...

Wait, what?!

I have something to give you, too.

It's been almost a year since I started
solo camping for two with Gen-san.
