Solar cell

When I want electricity at a camp, it's easy to use solar cells. However, its use is limited due to its low power generation efficiency. Connect to a mobile battery and charge during the day. That's possible to charge the smartphone partly.
In addition to smartphones, if I want to charge the camera batteries or a lantern as a power source, I need a generator driven by gasoline engine.

... Hydropower was a blind spot. Campsites are limited, but if it is possible to use a stream with enough flow to turn a turbine, that's probably the best option.

The comfort of the camp changes greatly depending on whether the camp site is illuminated or not. Old-fashioned lanterns such as gas, gasoline, kerosene, or candles are standard, but the LED lanterns are easy, safe, and maintenance-free.
Life without electricity may not be possible anymore.

Comfortable toilet

I often see Ana Bushcraft's channel on youtube. "[Camping alone] Single camp for a girl".
It's a documentary about a woman building a wooden house in the woods where she and her two dogs live.

There is no talk, completely silent. It's quite defferent from other most of youtubers often talk like a machingan. She complete the carpentry work of the day in silence. Her skill is almost professional. I have no choice but to respect her. Chinese women may be so strong.

One problem with camping and traveling is the toilet. The enjoyment of traveling depends on whether the toilet is comfortable. Of all the trips I've made so far, Thailand is safe to go to any countryside. A system for washing with that water. Comfort is more than Japanese "washlet".
On the other hand, China is often disappointing. Ana tries to dig a hole (ANA ... hole in JAPANESE...smile) and make a guts pose, but I have to smile. After all it is China.

GoPro

The purpose in my traveling is due to my desire for photograph. I want to take pictures that I am satisfied with as far as I can do. I always think so.

Pprofessonal photographers will avoid the group trips. However, due to the sadness of amateurs, I do not have enough time and money to travel freely. Therefore, it will be taken within the schedule by using a cheap group trip.
Sometimes I take a taxi to the shooting spot in the middle of the night, and sometimes I walk all night in the city.

However, because of COVID19, I had to stop the shooting trip for two years. In those priod, the maintenance of my photography equipment has been  neglected. This year, when I resumed my trip, I started to prepare the shooting equipment, but in those two years, my shooting equipment has become out of fashion.

Barely, mirrorless cameras are still in active use, but mobile cameras such as  GoPro etc., tend to be inferior. The latest peripheral accessories cannot be used either. There is no choice but to move forward little by little.

Camera everywhere

For those who aspire to be photographers, it is not easy in my mind reducing the usage of  single-lens reflex cameras (mirrorless cameras) which I love, but the trend of the times is video. Adding movement to a photo doubles the information and makes it more eye-catching.

I couldn't go against the times, and today I struggled to attach a GoPro to my helmet. It's common to use a 3M adhesive sheet, but I'm reluctant to get the helmet dirty. Therefore, I adopted a belt-type fixing.

Tie a belt through the ventilation holes in the Marmot's climbing helmet. I tried it, it doesn't seem to be a problem to fix the camera. Camera everywhere this summer.

By the way, there is no hole for ventilation on the top of the ski helmet, and the holes of the skateboard helmet are blocked by mesh.
There are not ventilation system full-face helmetd for motorbike and . So, a climbing helmet.

Mongolian Throat Singing

I wanted to listen to Mongolian music, so I searched for various things on youtube, but for now, my favorite is rock music with beats. A traditional a two-stringed Chinese violin (erh hu) are also very emotional to hear in the  grasslands at there.

Mongolian Throat Singing can't be imitated at all, but I want to be able to play stringed instruments a little.
