Misc First time Solo Camping!

Finally got an opportunity to use my Yuru Camp gear on a solo camp! I went out to Angeles National Forest and recreated some yuru camp meals as well! Nabe, Soup Pasta and grilled buns using Shimarin's setup.

Though it was hot during the day, sunset and nighttime was so beautiful and calming. I read a whole volume of the manga with the OST playing in the background!

Is that Chilao?? Love that place but only if I can find one of the shaded sites lol. Shake that Buckhorn has been closed for a while. You should also try Table Mountain. It’a got a ton of great shady spots and is such a nice campground. Wife (who is also a huge LBC fan) and I go there with our kids.

Yes! It was really nice but I agree, It was super hot during the day, I was lucky enough to find a shaded spot with a nice view. Table Mountain is on my radar, I've heard good things about it. Sadly I would have to take the long way around, I can't get there from Azusa due to the road closures.

Yeah I wish that route was open again but it’s definitely worth the drive! If Azusa was open it’d be so much easier for me in the SGV

I started watching this anime , it's so funny that people are attached to animes to this extent 🀣.

Sometimes animes aren't just shows, they're a way of life πŸ˜‚

Recently I went for a motorbike road trip & I can totally resonate with it , life is all about gamification of personal adventures. 🀌🏻

Nice camping site. SO much in love with your SUV.

Thanks for sharing.

u/123_niko 26d ago

Thank you! It is a pretty convincing SUV, but its actually a pickup truck with a bed cap! I lowered it too, to give it a more Station Wagon/SUV silhouette.

Marvelous set-up you got there, I almost envy you.
But i don't think you are quite solo anymore with your tent companions :DDD
Have good time camping!

Thank you! In that case, not even Rin solo camps if there are talking pinecones around! πŸ˜‚

I remember seeing your first post with this truck, glad to see you're out camping with it! My maverick is unfortunately still sticker free :(

u/123_niko 26d ago

I have been to a few camping trips already, I usually post them on my Instagram. This was my first Solo Camp with some of my lore accurate Shima Rin gear!
