Yeah. Yap san also already know me
Can firecamp but use portable firecamp la
Kenot open fire in ground

Wanna stargazing yesterday but all time at night full cloud. Dem

oh my thats too bad

my date its 3/4 moon cycle also maybe quite bright cant see stars

where did you get the fire logs ?

Buy at camping store. Ambot bangi

Material quality makes a big difference. Though if its just for simple camp/hike, use something cheap la. If break also not a big deal just buy a new one. How likely you're doing things so extreme until can break

For somethings though, you need quality (e.g. bag). Don't buy bags from decathlon, the quality is horrible.


People buy titanium cause its lightweight and durable. Can't really get the same benefit in aluminium.

That said, its not worth the price. Once again, unless you're doing some form of hiking/camping where every gram matters, titanium doesn't do much for you. If going car camping, weight doesn't matter at all Even for short hikes/camps, an extra few hundred grams won't kill you.

I've been thinking of getting back into camping myself lately.. need a break from all the tech. Surprise surprise I see all the tech in people camping... wth. Kinda defeats the purpose?

yes thats why i bought a rocket stove instead of a portable gas stove, now i have to search for firewood lol

i wanted an oil lamp but there isnt anyone selling anymore mostly LED

i want the organic feeling of camping

You can buy this component, then swap out the LED? My guess is the shape would be roughly the same if they're going for the same look.

try Gas Lantern instead. with those gas stove you can light up your area. I have 4 of those.

One thing i like about gas lantern and oil lantern, as they actually generates heat they are a good natural bug repeallant.

yes i believe so too, but problem is the pricing is just insanely high for what you are offered. im mostly comparing the default entry-mid level gear vs the ultralight high end ones la

alot of the ultralight stuff for example, while they are durable but by physics because of lower & thinner denier fabric or using thinner metals like aluminum/titanium, their durability isnt that much diff vs just getting the slightly heavier models. ended up the "heavier" models outlast them kek

ironically for the bags, decathlon while its considered low quality, it still works well for me and i believe to most average consumer for basic level use too. for the more experienced or specific niche user however it will be a diff story since they know what they want and need for their specific use case scenario. just IMO the decathlon basic ones covers 70% of the base user spectrum use case all the time, so its not necessary to get the expensive ones.

yes correct on the last paragraph, alot of people are too focused on fancy shit like being ultralight or "buying into quality things" then ended up paying a super premium on things that they dont actually matter/need. car campers dont need to worry much abt weight or size unless their cars are tiny and weaker engine, but even so its quite negligible if you preplan what you are packing in first place

im also kinda biased in a sense that if youre gonna do all these shit like outdoor camping/hiking/trekking etc, the bare min you must do is to have the ability to plan your carry weight and actually carry most of your own stuff till the end. otherwise its no difference than those colonial climbing where you just hire some huge entourage with someone to piggyback you entire time and carrying your shit. seen this alot during Mt Rinjani and Mt K climb, where alot people just pay to get porters to carry their heavy stuff that they simply pack super heavy under the excuses like "im supporting their economy" or "im too old/weak/tired etc" or "i got the money so why you blow?"

Thats why I avoid these slop campsites with power outlets. These sites tend to attract the most obnoxious type of campers that treat campsite like their family day venue with all speakers, electronics, spotlights and whatnot and not willing to take their own trash back with them.

aaa you missed Coleman 295A all time low in Amazon few days ago. Like only rm 3xx. I'm itching to buy but already have 2 lol
Normal price is like rm 500. If buy from local dealer they ask rm 1k.

Of course la, heavier material is more durable


I bought a decathlon bag for my helper to use as a kids stuff bag when we're out and about. It mostly functions ok, but within a few months the zips rosak already.


100% agree

Carry your own load goddamit

haha thats why i feel like its a scam, youre paying so much but durability tarak. apa macem

dem i need to be careful for mine then, maybe cause mine isnt used daily but more on travelling which is like 2-3 times a year so it hasnt seen much wear and tear.

by getting them to carry own load, they will now know how tough it is to carry heavy weights long distance and learn to appreciate preplanning even more. no more carry unnecessary stuff

Koan Camping Ground Lake Motosuko

that's a famous campground in Japan.. i actually want to do it once at least but then it's no where affordable trying to bring my camping gear over/buying mount peak gears there/renting.

Led light from 5 led light now use 2 saja

thanks. this place is more like camping outside your house on your yard.

its on flat open ground. trees / forest not nearby.

looking for more like chalet in forest.

i just experience this recently

Thought it will be 1 family saja, last2 whole kampung came and do family day there.


plus I prefer those with outlet so i can plug stuff like table fan and charging port (for my LED lamps & phone). now i own spacious car, i sleep in car better than tent hence tent mainly to store other items while camping (food stock, plastic bag, and etc)
