Bicycle Camping Just like Rin in Yuru Camp



Yuru Camp bikecamping, bikepacking

Have you ever watched the anime Yuru Camp? It's a Japanese slice-of-life anime series written by Afro. It centered about the camping adventure of Rin Shima and Nadeshiko Kagamihara around Japan. In episode 1, Rin Shima can be seen using her bicycle to go camping.

Bicycle camping is a fun way to explore nature with a mobility of a bicycle. It's like combining hiking and mountain biking. All you need is bike and your camping gear and equipment and you all set for your bicycle camping adventures.

Bicycle camping is the best way to de-stress and take time off your hectic daily routine. The best way to do it is with friends and family.     

If you're just starting with Bicycle Camping like me you don't need to spend a fortune to buy a new bike or expensive ultralight camping gear. You just need to learn how to pack light and use your old camping equipment. You can bring your comfortable daypack, along with dry bags tied to your handlebars and seatpost. Small panniers will probably work if you’re pedaling forest service roads and plan to be out for several days. But if you’re exploring technical singletrack for a one night or two nights trip, it might be best to leave the panniers at home. Bikepacking is about having fun on the trail, and not being overloaded with gear. Also bringing a backpack is also very useful where you can put your extra stuff like sleeping gear, rain gear, or food and cooking supplies.  

It is also good to invest in satellite communicator or personal locator beacon to get help in the event of an emergency:
