Hammocks are what I'd choose over a tent: https://www.cleverhiker.com/best-backpacking-hammocks

I have a Big Agnes 2 person tent that I'll be using. If weather permits, I just won't use the rain fly. The idea of a hammock sounds really good for summer, but I already have invested $$ in the equipment I have, so will make do for now. If I really get the bug for bikepacking, I might give one a try.So yes plenty of places to pitch tents, just set up later in the day. There are a heap of convenience stores that have toilets and the sea is great for rinsnng off a days sweat. Plenty of surfers sleep in their cars near popular breaks and tents are also quite popular. hammock offers more ventilation and airflow. agree about caked in a days sweat being yuck!

OK. Good to know.Camped along the coastline and it is easy to find a spot nearly everywhere.
Oh. Thanks. Hadn't thought of that.Don't forget to avoid the Ichinomiya area in August because it is hosting the surfing events in the Olympics.
My usual rule is it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. But, I think I'll risk it and go with only a liner as long as I'm staying in Chiba. I'll blame you if I get cold at night.TBH,I would be surprised if you even needed a sleeping bag liner in July/Aug and even September.
I was kind of afraid of that. But, good to know. I'll keep it in mind as I plan.You will have a great time but the coastal roads are usually crowded on the weekends and during Obon.
I don't know about this year though due to Covid.
I can't access either. Bummer!No problem, Roo.
What pages? Have you upgraded the operating system on your Etch-a-Sketch?Does anybody else have trouble accessing these pages?
I kept wondering why the bloody computer wouldn't work after I picked it up and shook it violently until the screen went blank....What pages? Have you upgraded the operating system on your Etch-a-Sketch?
Is it plugged in?I kept wondering why the bloody computer wouldn't work after I picked it up and shook it violently until the screen went blank....
Excellent question! (I'm not sure...)Is it plugged in?
I've a gas canister stove for camping, but I got myself an Evernew EBY254 alcohol stove for future bike camping trips (still slowly collecting the kit to do it).I have a stove that uses gas canisters you purchase from an outdoors shop. I like the system, it is easy to use and heats water quickly. Two downsides to this stove are that the canisters take up a fair amount of space, and the canisters aren't easy to come by when on the road.
So, was thinking of getting an alcohol burning stove. My cooking needs are minimal....mostly heating water. I'm thinking the alcohol stove is smaller and the alcohol can be purchased at convenience stores most anywhere. But, I've never used one before so not sure of any downsides. Concerns are that it heats water very slowly and that refilling the stove with alcohol might be a messy job.
If anyone has experience with both types of stoves, which would you take for an overnighter backpacking trip?
