Hi, I'm nao.
It's been a camping touring craze lately.
Some people buy a mountain to camp freely in anything.
I'm an indoor person, so I have almost no camping experience.
But I'm going to take a break from work and relax in nature.
I'm longing for a holiday like that.
Since I wanted to be a camper but didn't know the right or left side of the road, I decided to ask the camping enthusiasts in the company to teach me.
Where is the first step to becoming a camper?
So we have a teacher to teach you about camp.
These are webimagazine writers, nemo-T and Kenzie, who are shivering on Friday afternoons because they've been camping too much.
What do you two need to do first to become a camper?
A burner?
It uses fuels such as LP gas and white gasoline.
Is it a burner, not a tent or sleeping bag?
Burners are cool and they make you feel good.
And you can burn a lot of things.
Buy a burner.
I looked into camping burners (stoves).
In buying a burner, I did a lot of research.
First, the type of burner (fuel, type, etc.)
There are two main types of fuel: LP gas or white gasoline.
First of all, there are two main types of fuel used.
"White Gasolineand"LP gasHere are some of the features, advantages and disadvantages of each.
LP gas is easy to use and recommended for beginners.
LP gas is a liquefied gas that is also used in household cassette stoves.
Purchase and use a replacement cartridge filled with gas.
It's easy and convenient to use, but depending on the object, the heat may be reduced when the temperature is low.
Advantages of LP gas
- Easy and hassle-free to use.
- Easy to store and compact.
- You can get them at home improvement stores.
Disadvantages of LP gas
- Fire power is susceptible to temperature.
- Fuel costs are higher than white gasoline.
There are two types of LP gas cartridges, the "OD Can" and the "CB Can"!
OD cans (OutDoor cans)
OD cans" are the distinctive forms often seen in the outdoors.
The structure is designed to maintain firepower even in low temperatures.
Another advantage is that it is easy to share with other gear, such as lanterns.
Compared to "CB cans", they are more difficult to find in supermarkets and are more expensive (from about 500 yen per can).
CB cans (Cassette Bombe cans)
CB Can" used in household gas stoves
It is readily available in convenience stores and inexpensive (3 bottles/500 yen and up).
However, in general, firepower is susceptible to temperature changes, and sharing it with other gear, such as lanterns, isn't great.
Some burners have a special cylinder designation.
White gasoline is attractive because of its strong firepower and good cost performance.
White gasoline, which is a refined gasoline, has a strong firepower and is inexpensive (from about 1,000 yen per liter). However, using a white gasoline burner requires pumping to apply pressure to the tank, so it takes some time and effort to use it. It is also highly volatile, so care must be taken when storing it.
Advantages of white gasoline
- Fuel cost is about 40% of LP gas.
- You'll get consistent firepower even in cold or windy weather.
Disadvantages of white gasoline
- A lot of time and effort is required for pumping.
- Remaining fuel storage and other safety precautions
Selecting a gas burner "integrated" and "separate".
The next step is to choose the type of gas burner.
Integral type
The cartridge becomes a pedestal, making it more compact.
It is also suitable for mountaineering and other applications because of the lightness of the luggage.
The main application would be cooking for one person.
Separate type
The gotook is separated from the gas line and is stable even when using heavy pots and pans.
You can cook for multiple people if you choose a large gotoch type.
Which burner is right for you?
I found out about the type of fuel and the type of burner: .......
Which type is right for me?
I've made a simple table.
Burner selection chart
| LP gas / integrated type | Number of people used: for one person Use: Mainly for simple cooking and boiling water. Difficulty: Beginner to |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| LP gas/Separate type | Number of users: for multiple people Applications: Cooking with heavy pots and pans, etc. Difficulty: Beginner to |
||
| White gasoline/integrated type | Number of people used: for one person Use: Cooking at a steady heat and cold weather Difficulty: Intermediate |
||
| White gasoline/Separate type | Number of users: for multiple people Purpose: I want to do some real cooking. Difficulty: Intermediate |
||
In my case, it's 'one person to use, easy cooking': ......
I bought my first single burner!
When it comes to buying, there are many different brands to choose from and it's easy to get your eye on them, but this is the one I chose!
SOTO[Sotho] | AMICUS[amicus] 5,280 yen (tax included)

K. ......Cool~!And it's so compact!
All work is done in our own factory in Japan, and we have an excellent reputation for reliability.
You've also received the "Outdoor Industry Award," a prestigious international award.
First single burner ignition
First, attach the burner to the gas cylinder. It's easy to install because it's screw type.
Open the gas valve halfway up to .......shoeClick the red button.Shubboo!
Winner！The flames are different from a home stove. It's like the hair on the head of a serious gong. It's easy to handle and the blue flame is beautiful.
Choosing a camping gear is a lot of fun.
As this was my first time choosing a burner, I didn't really understand it at first, but the more I researched, the more I started to enjoy it. After all, there are a lot of outdoor products that tickle the fella's fancy.
Stay tuned, because next time I'm going to get the cookware ready and try to actually cook!
Yes!
Ha (smile)
