There's no one better to learn from than an advanced camper who's been doing it for years, someone who has experienced bad camping manners themself. Let's take a look at these 20 camping manners to keep in mind when camping in Japan! 1. Choose a Campsite After Checking In It's bad camping etiquette to have your friend or other campers that you came with hold a site for you while you check in. It's standard etiquette that you should only choose a campsite after you finish checking in to the campground. [Video] 1:16 - Choosing a Campsite 2. Set Your Tent Up Away From Other Campers Photo：A campground Setting up a tent right next to an already pitched tent is bad manners, especially when the site is large and there are many other places to set up a tent. Moreover, setting up a tent in such a place may spoil the scenery for other campers. When choosing a place to set up your tent, you need to consider the scenery of the tents that are already set up, as to not obstruct their view. [Video] 1:36 - Setting Up Your Tent 3. Avoid Cutting Through Other Campsites Care should also be taken to avoid entering other plots. While it's OK if you just cut a corner through a campsite, you should avoid doing it too frequently and avoid crossing through the middle of a campsite to avoid disturbing other campers. [Video] 1:56 - Other Campers' Plots 4. Avoid Taking Up Too Much Space It's also a violation of camping etiquette to take up too much space in a free site. This is a common sight at group campsites, where group tents are set up so far apart that other campers cannot easily fit in between them and will have to find other places to pitch their tents. On busy days, it can be difficult to find a place to pitch your tent. When setting up your tent, please be sure to take into consideration the crowded conditions, and make sure that the distance between tents is the same as other campers. [Video] 2:19 - Avoid Taking Up Too Much Space 5. Avoid Late Night Setups and Early Morning Takedowns Photo：A campground at morning Any activity that interferes with other campers' peaceful sleep late at night or early in the morning is also taboo. Driving stakes into the ground while others are sleeping can be disturbing. Even if you unintentionally arrive at the campground late at night, consider the time before loudly setting up. [Video] 2:56 - Late Night Setups/Early Morning Takedowns 6. Don't Leave Children Unattended Do not leave small children unattended. Campsites can be dangerous places, and they could get into some serious trouble. You wouldn't want to see them get seriously injured or badly burned by a campfire or other fire because you lost sight of them. [Video] 3:28 - Camping With Children 7. Be Careful When Playing With Flying Objects, Such as Balls, Frisbees, Drones, Etc. Photo：A drone Playing with flying objects is another thing to be careful of. When playing with balls, frisbees, drones, etc., you should always be careful to make sure that no one is around. Be sure to play in designated areas. You wouldn't like it if someone else's frisbee kept flying into your campsite, right? [Video] 4:16 - Flying Toys 8. Avoid Trouble With Your Kids At campsites, in order to avoid trouble, parents may need to find a place for their children to play in advance, or if the campsite does not have an open space, you might need to take measures to avoid your children from being scolded, such as not bringing play equipment that is unsuitable for that location (i.e., flying toys in small areas). [Video] 5:13 - Be Aware of Your Children 9. Avoid Causing Noise Pollution Noise is a common cause of trouble, as loud noises can be annoying. Adjust the volume when enjoying music or movies, and be considerate of the time of day. Remember that the campground is a public place. [Video] 5:40 - Noise Pollution 10. Be Careful When Consuming Alcohol Photo：Enjoying drinks while camping The video also touches on drinking manners. Don't mistake the campground for a bar/izakaya and overdo it. It's important to be aware of the time of day, and to be aware that you may disturb other campers while they're sleeping. Video] 6:35 - Manners for Consuming Alcohol 11. Keep the Cooking Area Clean It's bad camping manners to make a mess in the cooking area. Leaving food scraps and other debris in the cooking area drains is disrespectful to other campers. When washing cooking utensils, bring detergent, sponges, and plastic bags. [Video] 7:22 - Keeping the Cooking Area Clean 12. Be Careful of Sparks From Campfires Photo：A campfire When enjoying a campfire, be careful of sparks. Sparks can fly not only on your tent, but also to neighboring campers' tents and other gear. Sparks may scorch your tent or other items, so please be careful. [Video] 8:07 - Campfire Sparks 13. Open Flame Cooking Is Not Allowed at All Campgrounds Don't perform open flame cooking in an area where open flame cooking is prohibited. It's a violation of both manners and rules. It may even lead to a wildfire in some places. [Video] 9:07 - Check if Open Flame Cooking Is Allowed 14. Don't Burn Garbage in Campfires Burning garbage in a campfire is another violation of camping manners. Burning trash creates unwanted smoke and odors. [Video] 9:44 - Don't Burn Garbage in Campfires 15. Be Respectful Even When Staying in a Car Photo：Sleeping in a car Be careful not to leave the engine running overnight when staying in a car.

Make sure you don't leave behind any garbage or charcoal. Try to leave your campsite cleaner than it was when you arrived. [Video] 12:48 - Clean Your Campsite 20. Everyone Has Their Own Way of Enjoying Camping Everyone enjoys camping in their own way. It's also bad manners to impose your own values on other people. [Video] 13:12 - Camping Is Different for Everyone Enjoy Camping in Japan With Proper Manners! When camping, it's important to have good manners as well as to follow the rules of the campground. It's also important to gather information about prohibited items and equipment at the campground in advance. Trouble can be caused by violations of manners regarding garbage disposal, illegal dumping, noise in common spaces, and many other factors. When camping in Japan, it's important to respect nature, have good manners, keep other campers in mind to avoid any problems.

Must-Know Knots for Campers Japan's camping boom has led to an increase in the number of people who have just started camping or are looking to get into camping. In this article, we'll introduce three useful knots for beginner campers, so anyone new to camping can familiarize them with knots, which are essential for setting up tents and tarps and a variety of other tasks. Video Introduction This video, titled "[Super Convenient] 3 Useful Rope Knots for Camping [Two Half-Hitches, Taut-Line Hitch, Bowline Knot]" (【超便利】キャンプで役立つロープの結び方3選【ツーハーフヒッチ・自在結び・もやい結び】), was uploaded by "MotoCamp" (MotoCamp【モトキャンプ】). Useful Knots for Camping and Other Outdoor Activities and How to Tie Them Photo：A knot Knots are incredibly useful for camping and outdoor activities. They can be used to secure tents to stakes or even hang a tarp. Furthermore, ropes are also very useful for hanging small camping equipment and drying dishes. However, if you just have a rope and don't actually learn how to tie knots, the rope is nothing more than a piece of rope. Therefore, learning how to tie knots is an important component of a comfortable camping trip or outdoor experience. Unfortunately, learning how to tie knots can be a bit challenging for beginners. Therefore, in this article, we'll introduce three practical knots that even beginners can learn. They're useful for camping and outdoor activities, so take this opportunity to learn them! How to Tie a Two-Half Hitch Source :YouTube screenshot The first knot we'll learn is the "Two-Half Hitch." [Video] 0:20 - Two Half Hitch This knot has three features: ・It's easy to tie ・It's relatively tight ・Useful for setting up tarps Now, let's take a look at how to tie it. Be sure to follow along with the video to see an actual demonstration of how each knot is tied. 1. Take the short end of the rope and pass it under the long end and then pull the short end through the loop it creates. 2. Do the exact same thing directly below the first loop and then pull the short end of the rope upwards towards to first knot to tighten it. 3. Pull the long end of the rope tight and you're done! The rope will now be securely fastened to the post. It's easy to untie this knot, so be sure to try it a few times to make sure you've got the hang of it. How to Tie a Taut-Line Hitch Source :YouTube screenshot The second knot we'll talk about is the "Taut-Line Hitch." [Video] 1:24 - Taut-Line Hitch The features of this knot are as follows: ・The length of the rope can be easily adjusted. ・Convenient for securing stakes when setting up a tent. Now let's take a look at how you tie a Taut-Line Hitch. 1. Once again, take the short end of the rope and pass it under the long end and then pull the short end through the loop it creates. 2. Again, just like the Two-Half Hitch, do the same thing below the first knot, except this time create some distance between the first and second knots. 3. Then, pass the shorter rope through the loop created between the two knots once more. 4. Tie another knot below the second knot. Finally, tighten the rope and you're done. The rope doesn't wiggle when pulled, but the length can be adjusted by holding above the knot and pulling. How to Tie a Bowline Knot Source :YouTube screenshot The final knot we'll go over is the "Bowline Knot." [Video] 3:59 - Bowline Knot The perks of this knot are: ・It's tight ・Convenient for securing ropes It takes some practice, but it is one of the most important and basic knots, and is essential for enjoying outdoor activities and camping. With that out of the way, let's learn how to tie a Bowline Knot. 1. Make a loop with the longer rope. 2. Below that loop, pinch the rope together and pass it through the loop you just made from the top. 3. Pass the end of the shorter rope through the loop sticking out of the other loop from underneath. 4. Pull the short long end away from the short end to form a knot. This secures the knot and completes the Bowline Knot, which will not budge in the slightest. This knot is also called the "King of Knots." Because of its strength, this knot is frequently used not only for camping and outdoor activities, but also for mountain climbing, loading trucks, and even on construction sites. If you're employed in a field that uses knots, the Bowline Knot can be incredibly useful. Summary of Essential Knots for Beginner-Level Outdoor Enthusiasts Photo：Guy lines There are many more knots than this. If you're serious about camping, mountain climbing, or any other outdoor activities, learning how to tie knots is important. If you can learn how to tie knots, you'll be able to set up tarps, tents, and hammocks using trees and rocks even in places where the ground is too hard for stakes. Knots can also be used to secure yourself to something in the event of a natural disaster, or to carry an injured or sick person to safety. Finally, here are a few more important knots you can look up. ・The Figure-Eight Knot: A knot that won't come undone even if it's caught on something. ・The Clove Hitch: A knot that acts as a stopper when your rope is not long enough. ・The Butterfly Knot (Butterfly Loop): Convenient and practical for hanging something or for drying clothes. ・The Trucker's Hitch: which can be more strongly secured by tying a double knot. All of these knots are useful for camping and outdoor activities. If you try to learn too many at once, it may be difficult to remember how to tie them. We recommend by starting with the three knots shown in the video so that you can use them immediately in camping and outdoor situations. They may come in handy in unexpected situations!

Things to Be Careful Of! Source :YouTube screenshot If you're a woman looking to do some solo camping, we recommend that you choose a location and be thorough with security. Let's look at some points to keep in mind. ・Choose a campsite with a resident caretaker Some campgrounds do not have a resident caretaker. Some campgrounds are not staffed, especially at night, so if you are planning to camp solo, choose a campground with a full-time caretaker. ・Set up your tent in a public place. When setting up your tent, you may be tempted to choose a quiet place to enjoy your time alone, but we recommend that you set up your tent in a place where there is a lot of pedestrian traffic. It's also a good idea to set up as close to family campers as possible to protect yourself from any campers looking for any women camping alone. ・Avoid posting on social networking sites in real time Be careful about social networking sites such as Instagram and YouTube. Posting photos on social networking sites in real time can expose your whereabouts. ・Prepare security goods and locks Always have some emergency supplies, such as a personal alarm, by your bedside, and lock your tent when you go to bed, so that if something should happen, you can immediately warn others of danger. Summary This time we introduced a video about solo camping for women. In winter, Bubetsu Forest Camping Field in Hokkaido is covered with snow and has different scenery in spring and summer.

If you're struggling to build a campfire or not feeling confident about your fire making skills, it might be a good idea to have a chimney starter so you can enjoy your time camping in the outdoors while relaxing around a fire and eating delicious barbecue instead of worrying about getting your fire started. For some people, building a fire is one of the best parts of being outdoors, but if you prefer to prioritize mealtime over the time spent on starting a fire, consider picking up a chimney starter.

Enjoy Camping Even During Japan's Rainy Season Japan has four distinct seasons, each of which has its own variety of natural beauty to enjoy, such as cherry blossoms and autumn leaves. However, after spring comes the rainy season, otherwise known in Japanese as "tsuyu." Camping is experiencing a big boom in Japan right now, and so, in this article, we'll introduce how to clean up when it rains during a camping trip. Video Introduction: How to Clean Up After Camping in the Rain and Useful Appliances Photo：Camping in the rain This video, titled "How to Clean Up After Camping in the Rain and Useful Appliances" (雨キャンプ後のテント片付けと、便利な物を紹介), was uploaded by "HIRO channel," a channel focused on introducing various camping-related videos. Have any of you ever had the experience of being rained out during a camping trip? Tents are already a pain to pack up and clean, but this is especially true if it rains when camping. Mud and dirt get stuck to your tent and other equipment making it a hassle to clean. Perhaps you don't even want to try camping in the rain because of how difficult it may seem. Well, this video will show you how to easily clean up your tent and tarps after camping in the rain, as well as some useful tips to make cleaning your camping gear easier. Be sure to check out this quick 10-minute video to learn how to easily clean up and maintain your tents and other equipment. What to Do When It Rains While Camping Photo：A campground In Japan where it's said to rain on average about once every three days, it's not uncommon that the weather turns to rain on the day you're going camping. Thus, although not mentioned in the video, we'll first introduce a few measures to take when camping in the rain. First, when camping in the rain, be careful where you set your tent up. Avoid camping near rivers and set up your tent on gravel or other areas with good drainage. Next, when setting up your tent, hang the tarp first, then the tent. This creates a space to keep out the rain and makes the process go more smoothly. If it's raining when you're packing up to leave, we recommend putting the tarp away last. In addition, to combat the rain, tents and tarps should be coated with a water repellent to keep rainwater off them, which will make your job easier when it comes time to take them down. Finally, place a sheet under the tent to combat the rain. This will prevent water and dirt from getting into your tent and make cleanup easier. Knowing the above measures will help you safely enjoy a camping trip even in the rain. Pack It in a Dry Bag and Head Home Source :YouTube screenshot Cleaning up a tent after camping in the rain can be very difficult. It can be especially difficult to take home a tent that is covered in dirt or sopping wet. That being said, if your tent or tarp is large and you have a lot of stuff, pack it wet in dry bag, such as the "Coleman 110L Dry Bag." The large capacity makes it very convenient, especially when compared to carrying several smaller garbage bags made of thicker material. Rinse With Water After You Get Home When you arrive home, first wash your tent or tarp with water. The dirt will be even harder to remove once it dries, so it's important to wash it before the dirt has a chance to dry. After washing off the dirt, hang the tent outside in a covered area, such as under the eaves of your roof or on a balcony, or inside in a bathroom. Dry in the Sun or With Convenient Appliances Source :YouTube screenshot Once water is no longer dripping from the tent/tarp, allow it to dry. Make sure to dry it thoroughly, as, if not properly dried, mold can start to grow. As for drying, if the weather is good, dry it in the sun. If it's difficult to dry in the sun due to rain, a clothes dryer or futon dryer can be used. If you put a washed tent or other items in a drying bag, a tent will dry in about 4 hours. If you place a sheet or mat on or under the bag, you can kill two birds with one stone by drying them together. Even if not directly wet from the rain, sleeping bags and other items may be damp as well, so we recommend that you dry them in a bag made for drying bedding. This is a really handy trick for cleaning up after a rainy camping trip. And That's How You Handle Camping in the Rain As shown in the video, the first thing to do when you finished camping during a rainy camping trip is to quickly bring back the we gear and dry them thoroughly after rinsing them with water. In addition, if you make use of some convenient household appliances, cleaning up after a rainy camping trip will be a breeze. If you've had a bad experience camping in the rain and felt discouraged from going camping because of the cleanup, consider trying these methods to help make your camping trip one to remember!

Only You Can Prevent Wildfires Japan is currently experiencing an outdoor boom. As an island nation surrounded by the sea, Japan is also blessed with abundant nature. Because of this, it's possible to travel from the heart of Tokyo to a campground surrounded by nature in just a couple hours, and new styles of camping, such as solo camping, are on the rise. Camping is a lot of fun, but it's important to remember to clean up after your campfire to prevent wildfires and other accidents. In this article, we'll take a look at how to clean up a campfire. Video Introduction: Cleaning Up After a Campfire Photo：A campfire This video, titled "How to Clean Up After a Campfire at a Campground" (キャンプ場での焚き火の後片付け方), was uploaded by "Hiro, Camping" (ヒロ、焚き火). Campfires are used for a variety of purposes, including cooking and warmth. Some people simply like relaxing and getting lost in the flames of a campfire. That being said, cleaning up after a campfire is a necessary part of a safe and enjoyable camping trip in Japan. If you fail to clean up after a campfire, it can cause wildfires and other problems for many people. It's important to extinguish fires properly to protect our rich natural environment. Some Campgrounds Allow Open Flame Cooking, Others Don't Some campgrounds allow campfire cooking, while others do not. Be sure to check if the campground you're using allows open flame cooking. If open flame cooking is not allowed, you'll need your own campfire pit, fire sheet, etc. How to Clean Up Charcoal and Ashes After a Campfire Source :YouTube screenshot First, any coals and wood should be burnt down as much as possible. The extinguished coals and ashes can then be placed on a 60-micron aluminum foil. After that, clean up the surrounding area, picking up anything that has dropped under the fire pit. Restore the area to its original state as best as possible. [Video] 0:08 - Picking Up Ashes Water can then be poured over the collected charcoal and ashes. From there, you can wrap the remains in the aluminum foil compactly, removing as much air as possible. Then, wrap that in another sheet of foil and finally, place it in a plastic bag. If ashes from your campfire are scattered nearby, be sure to pick them up as well. Leaving ashes behind is a known cause of environmental pollution. The ashes, as well as the remaining charcoal will not decompose and be replaced by soil, so please do not bury them in the ground. After gathering the remaining ashes, pour water over them. Check the temperature of the ground around you just to be sure as well. Reducing the risk of fire as much as possible will not only protect you, but also other campers and the environment. Dispose of garbage from any meals you made while camping, as well as ashes and charcoal from campfires, in areas designated by the campground. Camp Fire Cleanup Summary Photo：Campfire remains When building a campfire at camp, clean up after the fire properly. Don't leave any ashes or coals behind with the mistaken belief that they will decompose. Failure to ensure that you clean up after a campfire could lead to a wildfire or other major problems. Keep in mind that even the slightest amount of carelessness can lead to a major accident. Everyone has their own way of enjoying camping and other outdoor activities, but remember that you're in a public place and should observe rules and manners. If you go to a campground that prohibits open flame cooking, don't forget to prepare a fire pit and other outdoor equipment. Please make sure to keep the cleanup of bonfires in mind with the video introduced here, and by all means, enjoy the rich nature of Japan while camping!

Japan's Solo Camping Boom Due in part to the Corona pandemic, camping has become a popular way to get outside and enjoy nature and the outdoors in Japan. Traditionally, camping was often a family or group activity, but "solo camping" has been on the rise as of late. Solo camping is a great way to get away from the stresses of everyday life and enjoy some time alone in a quiet environment. Having some alone time to get in touch with nature can be relaxing, and it also provides an opportunity for self-reflection. In this article, we'll take a look at some useful gear for solo camping. Solo Camping Gear Photo：Camping gear As we mentioned previously, solo camping refers to "one-person camping," and it has been growing in popularity in Japan in recent years. With Japan's current boom in solo camping, lots of useful and stylish solo camping gear is now available on the market. Video Introduction Source :YouTube screenshot The video we'll be going over today, titled "[Camping Gear] Camping With Just One Backpack! Solo Camping Gear Introduction" (【キャンプ道具】バックパック１つでキャンプが出来る！ソロキャンプギア紹介), was uploaded by "Takibito channel" (焚き人channel). The video introduces compact, convenient, and lightweight camping gear and backpacks. Various gear that can be packed into one backpack is introduced in an easy-to-understand manner. ※Please note that the order in which the gear is introduced is different from the order shown in the video as they've been divided based on their purpose. A Comfortable Tent and Sleeping Area Source :YouTube screenshot First, we'll introduce tents and bedding to bring when solo camping. The tent introduced in the video is the LOCUS GEAR Khafra HB Kit. It can be easily stored in a backpack and is also stylish and waterproof. The tent is secured with Snow Peak Solid Stakes and Boundless Voyage Titanium Peg Solid stakes using an MSR Stake Hammer to pound the stakes into place. As for sleeping gear, a NANGA AuroraLite 600DX sleeping bag and Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XTherm are great options! If you need a pillow, a MARCHWAY Inflatable Camping Pillow is recommended. For a night light, a BRISIE LED Lantern is waterproof, dustproof, and can also be used as a mobile battery. Must-Have Gear for Building a Fire Source :YouTube screenshot Next, we'll introduce gear for building a campfire that can fit in a backpack when solo camping. The first step in building a campfire is to chop kindling. The 38cm Husqvarna hatchet is a high-quality Swedish-made hatchet that is sharp and weighs just 600 grams. After chopping some wood, it's time to get a fire started. To build a fire, a Morakniv Mora Knife, SOTO Slide Gas Torch, and Conifer Cone Butterfly Saw are used. For easy fire starting, the match-shaped SOLSTICKAN FIRELIGHTERS are used as a handy igniter, and their combustion duration of 8 minutes makes it easy to ignite firewood. When the fire is about to be go out, a Bushcraft Fire Blaster (Sx) is used to keep it going. To protect your hands, use Tent-Mark Designs King Tongs and GRIP SWANY G-1 gloves. Solo Camping Gear for Cooking Source :YouTube screenshot The next solo camping gear we'll introduce is what to bring so you can enjoy cooking. This includes cooking utensils, etc. that can fit in a backpack. Camp food is an important part of the camping experience. The STC Picogrill 398 and the Boundless Voyage Titanium Fire Grill make the perfect cooking tables and are highly popular in Japan. The Snow Peak Aluminum Personal Cooker Set is easy to store! The set includes a frying pan and two shallow cookers. WILD-1 Brass Sierra Cups are also useful. After cooking up some delicious food it's time to relax. Relax and unwind with the SOTO Field Hopper ST-630 table and Helinox Tactical Chair, or enjoy a cup of freshly brewed, delicious coffee in a Snow Peak Ti-Single Cup. THE NORTH FACE Venture Jacket is great for any sudden rain that might occur. A Backpack to Hold All Your Solo Camping Gear Source :YouTube screenshot A Seibertron backpack can hold all of the solo camping gear featured in the video! The pockets and side pouches on the backpack can be well utilized to store all of your camping gear. The backpack is also waterproof, has a large storage capacity, and is comfortable to carry.
