Introducing Dinnerware and Cutlery for Families Who Love to Camp While leisure and other activities are limited due to the Corona pandemic, camping, which can be enjoyed outdoors, has become very popular in Japan. Here we'll introduce camping accessories that family campers have found useful. Check out these compact items and how to neatly store them. Video Introduction This video, titled "Introducing Family Camping Dishes, Cutlery, and Cookers!" (Introduce items such as family camp dishes, cutlery and cooker!) was uploaded by "Pahta / Camp." It introduces recommended dinnerware, cutlery, cookers, and other camping items for family camping that can fit in a Seattle Sports Frost Pak Soft Cooler! The video introduces cutlery and dinnerware sets for a family of four, including two children and two adults, neatly stored in a soft cooler. This video is recommended for beginners as it explains the appeal of each camping item, what to look for, design features, and materials. The way they're stored is also very helpful. Be sure to check it out in the video! Storing Camping Dinnerware and Cutlery Neatly and Compactly Source :YouTube screenshot The video begins with the opening of a SEATTLE SPORTS Frost Pack 25QT, which stores dinnerware and cutlery, and which is useful for camping with a family. The Seattle Sports Frostpack 25QT is an American-born brand synonymous with soft coolers. When camping solo, you can also take your family's portion of dinnerware and cutlery out of the bag and go camping with less weight. Now, let's take a look at the items introduced in the video. Basic Camping Rice Cooker and Kettle Source :YouTube screenshot Introduced first are bottles for making tea and water, a rice cooker for cooking rice, and a kettle for boiling water. Rice is a staple food in Japan and it's great for cooking when camping as well. Snow Peak, the cookware, can also be used to make soup and rice, and the lid can be used as a frying pan. ・1 liter Nalgene bottle: Used to store water ・UNIFLAME Rice Cooker Mini DX: Used to cook rice ・Trangia Kettle 0.9L (aluminum): Used to boil water ・Snow Peak Trek 1400 (aluminum): Cooking utensils Titanium Dinnerware and Cutlery Photo：Outdoor dinnerware Titanium is a suitable material for dinnerware because of its high heat resistance. If the heat from hot soup or other food is transferred directly to your dinnerware, it can cause burns when eating. In this respect, titanium dinnerware stays relatively cool, allowing you to eat without worrying about being burned by your cutlery. [Video] 2:53 - Introduction of cutlery Cups, cutlery, and other items featured in the video. The first titanium sierra cup that PAHTA (the youtuber) bought is a product that they recommend. It's a simple design, but the handle is designed so that it naturally hooks onto the middle finger when held, making it easy to hold and spill-resistant. ・Snow Peak Titanium Sierra Cup: Used for cooking and as dinnerware ・Snow Peak - Trek Titanium Bowl (discontinued) ・Snow Peak - Trek Titanium Plate (discontinued) ・Coleman - Cooking Tool Box 2: Holds mugs and cutlery ・Snow Peak - Stacking Mug Snow Peak H300: Mugs ・Snow Peak - Titanium Cutlery FS (discontinued): Forks and spoons ・OPINEL - Opinel No. 7 Round Tipped Stainless Steel Knife ・Windmill - Windmill JP Turbo Lighter ・A rice scoop and chop sticks ・MSR ALPINE DX Cutting Board: A small cutting board with stylish colors Titanium dinnerware and cutlery is popular partly because it is lightweight when carried to cleaning stations at camp. Another important feature that makes them popular is that they can be neatly stacked for easy storage. Useful Camping Gear for Drying Dishes Source :YouTube screenshot After eating at camp, it's necessary to clean up afterwards. Here we'll introduce some useful goods for cleaning up. ・Coleman Hanging Dry Net 2: A net for drying dishes outdoors ・Sponge and detergent for cleaning dinnerware ・HOLD & FOLD baby bottle stand (discontinued): used as a portable drying rack Featured in the video is a HOLD&FOLD baby bottle drying rack. After washing dishes, you'll want to dry them, but there are surprisingly few compact dish drying racks. The product shown in the video is a reused baby bottle holder but is compact and convenient. Summary For beginners who are thinking about getting camping equipment, videos and information from advanced campers who have actually used the equipment and are comfortable recommending it are a useful resource. It's important to choose camping equipment that is light, simple, and easy to use, and that can be stored neatly. As shown in the video, storing a family's worth of dinnerware, cutlery, and cookers in sets will decrease the chance that you forget something. Be sure to reference this video for camping information.

Coleman Tents - Popular Even in Japan Due in part to the corona pandemic, camping is booming in Japan, particularly family camping. For those looking to buy a family tent, check out this list made by an advanced camper that introduces the Coleman tents he recommends. Let's get into it! Introducing Coleman's 5 Best Family Tents via Video This video, titled "Announcing the 5 Best Coleman Family Tents and Why" (発表します。これがコールマン オススメ ファミリーテント ベスト５の理由です。), was uploaded by "Yoshi channel." As the name suggests, it introduces the top five family tents from Coleman, as recommended by a Japanese outdoor specialist. These top 5 tents were determined by comparing functionality, ease-of-use, and cost-effectiveness. If you're thinking of purchasing a Coleman family tent, be sure to use this as a guide. No. 5 "Coleman Weather Master Cocoon III" - Outstanding Functionality Source :YouTube screenshot This is a heavy tent with many poles and thick fabric. This is a top-of-the-line Coleman tent. It takes two people about 40 minutes to set up, which is rather long, but it's a family tent with excellent functionality and can be used in all four seasons. The living room is larger than that of most Coleman family tents, so there's room for a cooler and shelves as well. In addition, two inner tents can be set up inside if you decide to purchase them (these are sold separately). The sleeping area is also spacious, with room for four sleeping bags, making it perfect for families! The many windows provide good ventilation as well. [Video] 0:20 - Coleman Weather Master Cocoon III No. 4 "Coleman Tunnel 2-Room House/LDX," - A Unique Tunnel Shape Source :YouTube screenshot The main feature of this tent is its four poles, which give it a tunnel-like shape when set up. The eaves allow for a spacious living room and prevent rain from entering the tent. It takes two people approximately 20 to 30 minutes to set up. Setting this tent up is not that difficult, as all you have to do is stand it up after threading the poles through. The secret-base-like shape is quite unique. We recommend this tent to those looking for a family tent that is easy to set up. The video shows two sleeping bags setup inside the tent, but he mentions that you could probably fit a third sleeping bag in. There is a large window in the back and smaller windows on both sides. [Video] 2:48 - Coleman Tunnel 2-Room House/LDX No. 3 "Coleman Tough Wide Dome IV/300" - Cost-Effective and Easy to Set Up Source :YouTube screenshot Among these tents, this one is quite reasonably priced. This tent is recommended for beginners because it has few poles and is easy to set up. Although it seems smaller than the other tents introduced here, the presenter introduces it as No. 3 in terms of price, setup difficulty, and ease-of-use. The inner sleeping area is designed to be spacious. However, it does not have a living room, so it would be best to attach a hexa tarp to it. If you're looking for a 4-person tent that is cozy and easy to set up, consider checking it out. [Video] 4:39 - Coleman Tough Wide Dome IV/300 No. 2 "Coleman Tough Screen 2 Room House" - Cost-Effective + Spacious Source :YouTube screenshot A popular Coleman classic. Spacious, yet reasonably priced! If you're looking to get the most bang for your buck, you should check out this family tent, perfect for 4 or 5 people to enjoy camping. It's also reasonably simple to set up and can be pitched by a single person. The living room is wide horizontally, with plenty of room for a table and chairs. Both sides can be opened and can all be converted to mesh, so you can enjoy camping comfortably in both summer and winter. A skirt can also be attached to prevent wind from entering from below. The bedroom has enough space for a family of four to relax together. [Video] 6:57 - Coleman Tough Screen 2 Room House/LDX No. 1 "Coleman Tough Screen 2 Room House/LDX" - Cost Effective, Spacious, & Functional Source :YouTube screenshot The greatest feature of this tent is that it has a dark room, making the inner portion completely dark. By adding a roof, this tent is water-resistant and also highly sheltered from light. It's also slightly heavier due to the thickness of the fabric, but Yoshi mentions that the storage bags have been made slightly larger starting from the 2020 models, making it easier to put away. The living room is quite spacious. The bedroom is large enough to fit four sleeping bags. It has seven windows, so ventilation and light can be controlled using these windows. You can even hang a lantern inside the tent. The tent costs just under 100,000 yen with all these features, which is a key point in evaluating it at No. 1. The high light-shielding properties are great for those with small children who still need to take naps as well. [Video] 9:05 - Coleman Tough Screen 2 Room House/LDX Choosing a Tent That Fits Your Camping Style When purchasing family tents and other outdoor goods, in addition to brand and price, durability, water resistance, and wind resistance are also important things to look out for. Even if you find a tent that's reasonably priced tents are expensive compared to the rest of your camping equipment. When you find outdoor goods that you're interested in, one option is to first try renting a tent to see how it feels, and if you like it, consider purchasing it from there. Don't forget to visit outdoor stores and ask the staff to clear up any questions you may have before making a purchase. Coleman releases more and more attractive family tents every year, so be sure to check out information on new products besides the ones listed here.

After watching the video, you'll be on your way to becoming a Beigoma master in no time! If you're a total beginner, don't worry, this video has you covered! Traditional Japanese Beigoma Photo：Beigoma showdown Koma are ancient Japanese toys said to have originated in Heian period (794-1185) Kyoto when people played by spinning shells with string. Beigoma is a kind of Koma (Japanese spinning top) made of cast metal. It was a popular toy among kids from the Taisho period (1912-1926) to Japan's economic boom. To play Beigoma, you make a playing board by stretching a thick fabric sheet partially over a bucket or a barrel, and players spin their Beigoma onto the surface and have them bang against one another. Although Beigoma is an old toy, there have been many more people playing with Beigoma, Menko (an old Japanese card game), and other old-fashioned toys, due to a revived interest in old‐fashioned goods. Also, there are "new" Beigoma based toys such as Beyblade (ベイブレード) and Beigoma Spin Heat (ベイゴマスピンヒート), which are very popular among kids and sold at toy stores and online. Beigoma competitions are also becoming popular. The smartphone app "Beigoma Stadium" (ベイゴマスタジアム) is popular among adults as well. There are various types of Beigoma. Pecha (ペチャ) is the thinnest Beigoma and is harder to control but quite strong. Pe-oh (ぺ王) is the most difficult to control but is the most powerful. Chu-daka (中高) is short but easy to spin. Maruroku (丸六) is the best for beginners. Kakuroku (角六) is easy to spin and is also quite strong. Taka-oh (高王) is about 1.5 times the size of Maruroku, and Bay (バイ) is easy to spin and lasts a long time. Beigoma players also modify their Beigoma and make their own original versions. How to Play Beigoma Source :YouTube screenshot Now we'll introduce how to play Beigoma. First, make a string to wrap around the Beigoma (video 0:07). Tie the string and make a few knots. Next up is the winding process. There are several ways to wind the string, such as Onnamaki (女巻き), Otokomaki (男巻き), and Jujimaki (十字巻き). In this video, we'll learn Onnamaki. (~2:14). First, make sure the tip of the Beigoma sits between the knots on the string. From here, press and hold the end of the string onto the Beigoma with your thumb, and wind the string around the beigoma while keeping the pointed tip of the Beigoma between the knots. Next, wrap the string counterclockwise around knots while holding the string tightly with your fingers to prevent it from unraveling. Wrap it slowly in a circle, and your done! Next we'll learn how to hold the Beigoma. Hold it with your thumb and index finger, and wrap the rest of the string around your pinky and grab ahold of it. (~3:34) Source :YouTube screenshot Finally, let your Beigoma rip! (~4:11) Make sure not to throw it at an angle when launching it onto the playing board. Place your right foot close to the board, making sure to launch the Beigoma on the board, and as soon as you launch it, pull the string tightly.
