2022-04-26 "Tent habitability is the worst" [長年日記]

Solo camping (camping alone) has recently become popular.

When I was a young man, I used to post a set of camps on my motorcycle and go touring.

And people who have "never been" camping, or sometimes even people who have "been", tend to forget the following.

"Tent habitability is the worst"

It is usually either as hot as a sauna or as cold as the open air.

Naturally, we cannot get a good night's sleep.

The next day, dragging my lead-like body, we have to move on.

I once went on a touring trip to Hokuriku in GW, but I reached my physical limit on the second day and had to stay at a business hotel on the third day.

I was exhausted and convinced that if I continued on my motorcycle trip, I would 'cause an accident'.

In the first place, we humans are a species that has evolved by abandoning the idea of living in nature, building houses, cities, and means of transportation.

A reckless desire to return to nature, without preliminary training, can be deadly.

I strongly recommend that you make your solo camping debut only after you have done the camp enough times with an experienced person.

To the worst case, you may become a "hermit" who decides that "home is best" for the rest of your life.

Wandering around the world (mainly in Asia) with a backpack on my back - that was "me on another world line".

With many sacrifices, I have arrived at the "current world line" where "home is best".
