Would you camp solo in Japan? Join the discussion in the comments below and let us know your thoughts!~! *SUPER Excited for the upcoming livestream roadtrip on the new channel!!* -- All details are in the description box (along with a full-tour of the campervan if you haven't seen yet!) Come join the crew and help choose where we go for our next adventure!!

@AmandadeOliveira 3 года назад

I would love camping alone!

@refuze4k 3 года назад

I would try it, I usually feel the need to be alone for a bit. But I would probably prefer going with a friend in the end if they wanted to join. I would love to just travel around Japan but we'll have to wait until the restrictions are lifted so I can move.

@marcusa3177 3 года назад

Hell yeah. That camper van, maybe extra solar panels, definitely a beefy LiFePo powerstation, and I'd be set to do some wicked astrophotography. That'd be the dream.

@chelffie3867 3 года назад

Is it still solo camping if I bring my dog? She'd love the mountains and woods. But it sounds fun!

@noeinroad7294 3 года назад

The idea is intriguing but the thought of bears, odd insects (thanks Chris Broad) and no signal in any number of areas outweigh the thrill factor. I'll just live vicariously for now. I hope to see a camping trip with you and Sharla. I'd include Chris but I don't think that's on his top ten list of things to do.

@benburrito9669 3 года назад

For you people who watch Yuru Camp out there, Mt. Takabotchi is where Rin solo camped on ep 5 ^^. It is great seeing it IRL here \0/

Usually I avoid narrow roads, but these winding treks through the mountains…may have changed my mind. Loved the sea of clouds…so beautiful and serene. Thank you for waking up early to capture it!

@KirkKiyosadaTome 3 года назад

The mountainous backroads were definitely the way to go; they were so picturesque and gorgeous. Thanks as always, Norm!

@BKMHang10 3 года назад

I don't even like camping that much, but doing it in a car, even a kei car, looks a lot more palatable. Your adventures are always inspiring me to think about different ways to do things I probably would have just avoided altogether beforehand. Also, the night view from that foggy second campsite is pretty cool.

@mejulesyap 3 года назад

Definitely going solo camping in Japan after watching Yuru Camp, and now this! If only the borders would open up soon.

@Nameless_JPN-ENG 3 года назад

that campsite he used was one of the campsites featured in yuru camp too.

@Kaitlynde 3 года назад

Oh wow. That mountain top viewpoint was just spectacular with the flowers and clouds and rainbow. Couldn't tell what the red flowers were but lovely either way. Even with the fog! Really loving these camping vids, definitely excited for the road trip coming up too! I would so love to go solo camping in Japan! It would be such a nice way to get out and recharge from all the hustle and bustle of the big cities. I know they have their own greenspaces and their own charm, but being able to get back to big wild spaces like the woods, mountains, or the ocean is what makes my heart happy. Thanks again for posting this one!

Everyone excited about the rainbow and I'm over here like "fog!" 😍 I used to get fog where I lived and sometimes I couldn't even see the pine trees right across the street. But where I've been living for about 2 years now, no fog. Ugh. I miss the fog; absolutely love it.

@experimentalcyborg 3 года назад

@@KEI23675 It's way harder when you have a job and your parents are getting older so you have to be there for them. Look for exchange programs! They arrange so much for you that you'd otherwise have to figure out on your own. The hardest part at that age is saving up enough money to be able to make the trip in the first place and to do touristy stuff on the regular.

@chelseacarpenter2302 3 года назад

I would 100% camp solo in Japan! This looks like so much fun! Also the fog at 6:48 reminds me of something out if Silent Hill, just waiting for pyramid head to casually walk through it in the background😅😅 Much love from Arizona ❤️❤️

11:35 Norm is driving a Kei camper van and STILL manages to lose stuff inside it! I guess the Japanese must have TARDIS technology-bigger on the inside! I loved the scenery on the mountaintop. That drone is a real asset to enhance your videos. I seriously doubt I could walk out of one of those second hand stores with my arms empty. Thank you for this. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

That drive up was worth it just for the rainbow Adobe alone. It reminds me a lot of the drive up the Sandia Mountains in Albuquerque, NM. The drive started at 70 degrees and dropped to 23 degrees at the top!

@zerry6184 Год назад

that mountain is burnt into my brain it really is beautiful , also the fog was oddly scary but the lighting the fire omitted + you cooking your dinner made it an oddly peaceful piece of scenery , cool video as always !

Ahhhh! 6:04 Thought so, the pathway to the top, the overlook to Lake Suwa and Okaya....yeah the animators of Yuru Camp really nailed their depiction of that area. (For those interested it's season 1 episode 5). So envious of you Norm.

@StalinM41 3 года назад

As soon as I saw those stairs I figured that this was it. Fun part is those places in the anime all exist, would be fun to check them all out. Yuru camp was part of my inspiration last year to tour western US national parks solo last year in my truck for 3 weeks during Covid

A few years ago, I took the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route and stayed one night at Midagahara…. was lucky to see the sea of clouds during sunset and sunrise.
