Had to lookup peggy pegs. Those look crazy. They look plastic tho? Are they durable? I think so far I’ve got lucky never getting super soft ground. When pegs pull out its because I trip over the frigging lines lol.

Also Hammock is my secret tent I have that I’ll probably never use. I’m a side sleeper and just can not, as comfy as it it.

Here you go. It pops up in a second and my god I love it’s convenience and space saving as a bike rider (you carry it on your back). It has a weakness in the rain (its waterproof, but windows only close from outside, so you have to get up and out to close them if it starts raining at night).

Also can I just say thank you to this community and everyone who interacted with my last post? The responses all blew me away and the warm reception was so nice. Thank you.

I take a criminally low amount of photos not of the setup. This is the only other pic I took at the site. I’ll try to include more in future posts if I have em.

Oh those are close indeed. Not on this specific trip and since stuff usually originates from Tokyo, I haven’t been yet. But I want to drive and experience Shikoku, so maybe when there’s more time for a bigger trip I’ll do the ferry again to start at Tokushima and then drive and camp towards Kyushuu to catch the return ride. I’m noting these down, thanks.

I don’t want to spread misinformation. What I found when I researched is that wild camping is not really a thing here since most land is privately owned. I did not research past that and focused on managed campsites. I’ve come across some people as camp neighbors who still do it, but I don’t wanna risk it myself as I’m trying to stay here long term.

Nice pics and cool setup! I’ve always said I love driving my bike, but it’s been some time since I did some actual trips. It’s great that I can combine these hobbies, I enjoy the drive out as much as the camping itself.

This journey takes us towards winter. Let’s say I have a woodburning stove and hot tent ready. I don’t think I’ll go deep into minus C territory or snow, as that will limit safe access to the campsites. I’ve done a 0C without the stove tho in the mountains.

Hey there! Thanks for replying! I’m wary sharing links as I don’t want to be seen as someone shilling, but this is what I got and what you see since you asked.
It can keep the rain out, though you close the rain parts from the outside, not ideal. My future posts about this tent talk about it lol. I love it for a compact option if you know no rain is coming. But I have survived multiple rainy nights in it staying dry myself. If you have a tarp to put on top of it to shield it, its goated.

Also it may fit 6 asian people, but maybe 3 caucasian dudes like me (bout 185cm tall), so be careful with the 6 person description.

It is a Honda Forza 250cc. It’s very much a big scooter, so I would not suggest offroading much. I’ve had some funky campsite experiences with it and been fine, but it has limits.

I am in Japan, so wild camping is not an option (land is privately owned, opening up trespassing charges), which is why this bike is more than enough for me.

Thank you for telling me <3 We all need to go back to nature lol

Thanks everyone! I really appreciated the kind words! I was really worried. Gonna do frequent posts between daily and weekly. First one posted <3
