My First Trip was to Another World
Isolated Helpless
On the second day of Wang Du's activities, my next shopping trip is to the tent. Preparations are steadily on the way to Mirzia.
I want one comfortable tent for long term camping.
The tent I used before would be wasted, but it wouldn't hurt if I thought it was spare. For once, if you can't do it, it's the size of eight people who can sleep.
The tent ends once you're out of luck. It's not breaking, it's giving up. Fail a place to set it up and get flushed or fly away with strong winds into a river that has increased water. When disaster strikes me, I give up.
Sometimes we don't have time to withdraw the tent because we have to leave the scene as soon as possible if we decide it's dangerous.
That's why I didn't use tents in Japan. A simple tent or hammock is enough in cold weather. Easy hammock with 5 minutes of installation and 3 minutes of collection. But now it's not a solo camp, so you need to pay some attention.
We're at the grocery store now. Just like last time, it's a great place for Claire. I'm not letting Leeds go wild this time. That was my last lesson. Hold hands tight before entering the store.
Let's start by saying something important about tent selection.
"When choosing a tent, don't look at the capacity. Or you can quote in half."
That indication shows how many people can sleep when packed. In Japan, we say 'wake up and sleep in half a tatami', but in the tent industry, we calculate it by sleeping (...) and half (...) tatami (...).
To relax in the tent, you have to pick it at about half the display. I'd be as comfortable as pulling two off if I were just going to sleep.
"Uh... it's too wide. Can't the five of us sleep in the tent right now?
"You can just sleep, but when it rains, you spend it in the tent, right? I knew it would be narrow."
I don't care if I'm alone, but there's five of us. I want to be comfortable because I use my tent.
When I went to the tent store, the tent that was spread out and exhibited was the same size as before. I guess it's the most selling size.
The big thing around was a bell tent, not a tippy. Like Tippy, it is a monopole tent with one pillar standing at the center, but it combines low cylinders to earn height, improving habitability only slightly.
The tippies are shaped like cones, making the corners narrower and harder to use. In that regard, the bell tent is wide enough to be used around the corner because of its height.
I'll probably work in the tent a lot, so I'll also buy a low table that I can use in the tent.
Then also buy a large folding table and chair set that you can use outside. When that happens, I want a tarp too, but this is enough waterproof cloth I got at the castle.
I can handle the lights in the tent with the lantern I got at the castle. I won't have the tools I need anymore.
At the end of the day I bought Mr. Lily's share of shrubs and today's shopping is over... of, I was going to, but Luna stopped me from trying to go home.
"Um... Time to buy some decent dishes?
Huh? Need it? I am a foliage and bamboo solver.
Sharpen the branches of the trees and they will replace the forks. I use chopsticks. Dishes are enough with leaves, and juices are fine with bamboo.
"I don't think I'd have any trouble without it..."
"No, I'm in trouble. It's hard to find bamboo or poisonless grass every time."
Leeds and Claire snort. I think it would be easier if I burned it on the last day and it was over. Occasionally I would mistake it for firewood and burn chopsticks, but that's camping fun too.
Claire grabbed a few sets of dishes while I was chopping my neck off. This is the only time I act fast.
There is no convenient material like plastic in this world. The crockery dishes are difficult to use outside, so what Claire brought is made of wood. Isn't it a little stylish? Though Song Zhang (Kasaba) ru.
"Well, okay. That's it."
"Not yet."
Now it's Claire. That's enough.
They took me to the pot store. I'm not a problem if I have a lunch box. I don't need Kohler or anything.
The rice box (solder) is a versatile cooking utensil that can be boiled, cooked and steamed, as well as using the lid part like a frying pan. It also replaces the water bottle.
Sure, with Kohler, we can cook wide, but the man would shut up and cook round.
Convenient metals like aluminum alloys and stainless steel do not exist in this world. Kohler is also made of solid iron. Heavy. Well, it's just not a dutch oven. Better.
"Now it's over, isn't it?
"This too!
Luna brought me an iron pot that looked heavy. It's made of rough cast iron about 25 cm in diameter, and it's a pan with a lid.
Yeah, well, this is the dutch oven.
Seriously...... I thought it was just better than this.
"Do you need this...?
I asked terribly.
"With this, you can cook delicious bread. And the stew is delicious when you make it."
Yeah, I know. Delicious, isn't it? But do you carry this... I have a magic bag so the weight won't be a problem, but it's still heavy when I use it.
Hmmm...... I can't help thinking about it. Let's buy it. Looks like Luna's gonna bake us some bread, so I'm looking forward to it.
"Exactly. No more, right?
"Mr. Kon, I want this"
Now what...
What Leeds points to is that oil is the stove for fuel. Instead of a stove for warmth, it's an instrument for boiling and cooking on a rainy day.
They use white petrol and alcohol on Earth, but things in this world burn edible oil.
I'm the one who bribes everything with fire. Sometimes I want it, but I never bought it.
But you can buy this. Fuel is expensive in this world, but tea can also be brewed during small pauses. Besides, it's easy to end a fire.
"You found something nice. I want this, too."
Leeds is laughing "eh..." This stove is a size for one, so let's buy five.
Exactly. There won't be any more. I can't think of any more.
"That's enough, right? We're gonna pay you to go home, okay?
"Mr. Coe! How about this?
Mr. Lily brought me a chunk of iron that looked heavy. Reverse pyramid-shaped iron barrel with legs.
It's an incinerator. You just won't need it. It's not a campsite where direct fire is prohibited.
"You don't need them if you make them properly. The wet ground can magically dry."
"No, you can put skewers and iron plates on this. It'll make cooking easier."
"It'll be easier to start and end a fire. It better be."
"This is dangerous."
When I said I wouldn't buy it, everyone vehemently disagreed with me... I have no choice, let's buy this too.
I wonder why. Even though I came to different worlds, it became a more modern camp than when I was in Japan.
... Imagine us using the tools we bought today.
It comes to mind that a beautiful woman person enjoys camping while cackling, like in an online ad......
Camping like this stylish ol' holiday isn't camping! This isn't just a night out!
Man's camp feels more like this, wild. One knife to stand up to. I don't rely on tools. The only thing I depend on is a knife and myself, like.
... This party had a one-to-four ratio. It's inevitable to be a girl's camp. Give up and enjoy modern camping. It was hard to experience in Japan. This is also a valuable experience.
"There's really nothing left, is there? That's everything, isn't it?
"Yes, now I think we have everything we need"
I've been pushed through a lot. Let's go through my selfishness after a massive purchase. I want a hammock and a smoker.
Locate the store and choose a hammock that looks good. It's not a net, it's a cloth-covered type. I can use this even in winter.
"Is this a chair......?
Luna asks with a suspicious face. I need a hammock... don't you know? It's lined up in the store. I think it's a major thing in this world.
"It's bedding. Even without a tent, I can sleep with this."
The hammock doesn't seem like a good idea to everyone. Only Leeds showed interest, so I'll buy two.
Smoker next. It's about the size of a cardboard with an iron box and a pet bottle. I can't smoke a ton of ingredients at once, but it's good because it's for carrying.
"Hey, you want this?
Says Claire, who saw my smoker.... If you ask me if I need it, the answer is no. I can handle it without honesty. Combine sticks and cloth to make smoke. But with this box, it's easy to make.
And then there's my hobby problem. Smoking tastes better than cooking normally. Even when making preserved food, smoking rather than just drying lasts longer.
"If you want to make smoke, you better have it. I can make preserved food on my journey. It's convenient."
"Yes...... Well, fine. I don't know, but let's buy it."
Claire's an adventurer, but she's never made smoke? I thought anyone would try once. It's a classic preserved food.
"Hmm. This is good stuff. I'll let you use it too."
Lily seemed to agree, taking the smoker (smoker) and looking at it. Lily seems to like smoking, too. It suits my taste.
Chips are as much in the woods as they are. Buna and Nara are just right for chips because most of the trees were broad-leaved. It would be better if I had a sakura or an apple, but probably not.
In the end, all the camping equipment was 37 gold coins combined. Most of them are tent fees, but I feel a little expensive. I guess I spent too much money. Let's save money in the future.
The end is groceries. I haven't bought anything big. Ten gold slices of wheat to take to the village of the elves, as well as preserved food and wheat for us to eat. Our food was about a piece of gold.
Surprisingly I was surprised by the abundance of dried fruit. Besides things like raisins, there are also things like apples and nuts that are pretty satisfying. You're pretty good as a source of calories for emergencies, so if you're caged in a mountain, you should have one.
This would be delicious to put in bread.
Speaking of which, there's no dry east in this world... There must be no baking powder either. How do you bake bread?
"Hey, Luna. You inflate it when you make bread, don't you?
"Huh...? Suddenly, what's wrong?
"No, I was just wondering. How you doin '?
"You normally use dried fruit liquid, right?
Normal? What's normal? I don't know. The normal thing for me is to put something in powder. What can I do with dried fruit?
But the bread served in this country is usually delicious. Large rolled bread is dominant. I guess there's something East.
"Really? That's normal here, isn't it?"
Instead, I don't know any other way.
Next time Luna makes bread, we'll see. You might find out something. If I can make bread without dry east, I want to try it because it sounds fun.
Now we're ready. You can leave whenever you want.
