Would you camp solo in Japan? Join the discussion in the comments below and let us know your thoughts!~!
*SUPER Excited for the upcoming livestream roadtrip on the new channel!!* -- All details are in the description box (along with a full-tour of the campervan if you haven't seen yet!)
Come join the crew and help choose where we go for our next adventure!!
I would love camping alone!
I would try it, I usually feel the need to be alone for a bit. But I would probably prefer going with a friend in the end if they wanted to join. I would love to just travel around Japan but we'll have to wait until the restrictions are lifted so I can move.
Hell yeah. That camper van, maybe extra solar panels, definitely a beefy LiFePo powerstation, and I'd be set to do some wicked astrophotography. That'd be the dream.
Is it still solo camping if I bring my dog? She'd love the mountains and woods.
But it sounds fun!
The idea is intriguing but the thought of bears, odd insects (thanks Chris Broad) and no signal in any number of areas outweigh the thrill factor. I'll just live vicariously for now. I hope to see a camping trip with you and Sharla. I'd include Chris but I don't think that's on his top ten list of things to do.
For you people who watch Yuru Camp out there, Mt. Takabotchi is where Rin solo camped on ep 5 ^^. It is great seeing it IRL here \0/
holy sh.. i swear ive seen this place before i thought.
So that's why it looks so familiar!
Not even half a minute in and already dropping stuff, Linus could learn from you 😜
😂
My worlds just collided in a single comment 😂
I finally found the 20% that watch this channel and ltt
Kai, Linus, & Norm.
Was not expecting an LTT comment lol this made my day
I love being able to connect your live streams and videos with behind the scenes videos like this!
Can’t wait for the next stream!!
Oh my gosh, the views from that second campsite, just wow! Gorgeous!
I've only been camping once before, but after being cooped up in my apartment for the last year I would totally go, solo or not!
I feel like I say this on every video but Japan is just absurdly beautiful. The view from that second campsite was incredible and that's only on my phone screen.
I’m sure cameras just can’t do it enough justice but I’m totally with you! It looks like such a beautiful country! One day I hope to visit it!!
Anytime there is any b-roll i just say "wow" and that's exactly why i want to go to Japan!
I don't even like camping that much, but doing it in a car, even a kei car, looks a lot more palatable. Your adventures are always inspiring me to think about different ways to do things I probably would have just avoided altogether beforehand.
Also, the night view from that foggy second campsite is pretty cool.
Living the life, Norm. Holy shit.
... I should move.
I support that decision~
I support that decision .
I want to be able to do that decision myself, unfortunately I'm in college 😂
@@KEI23675 It's way harder when you have a job and your parents are getting older so you have to be there for them. Look for exchange programs! They arrange so much for you that you'd otherwise have to figure out on your own. The hardest part at that age is saving up enough money to be able to make the trip in the first place and to do touristy stuff on the regular.
Sup Norm!
I want to go camping so bad, haven't been in years. The summer heat in Alabama is killer though
Need a fan! Lol
Very much so!
I get that! I miss camping! Maines weathers been out of wack recently!
I bet the Pinhoti trail looks amazing in autumn!
Damn that payoff with the rainbow was incredible, haven't been camping too often but seems like a REALLY good way to get exploring and seems fun. Might have to get into it again lol
The mountainous backroads were definitely the way to go; they were so picturesque and gorgeous. Thanks as always, Norm!
Wonderful music in today’s video, Norm! It’s the morning in my part of the world, and it all just made the video feel a bit more magical. Thank you for the video!!
Glad you enjoyed it
i always feel like im running out of music haha
Whatever it is you are doing, it’s working!
That sea of clouds at sunrise was one of the most beautiful things. It must have been magical to experience in person. And I've definitely added it to my bucket list.
Great video and I always look forward to the notifications on Sunday mornings for the new vid. Hope you're having a great day!
Definitely going solo camping in Japan after watching Yuru Camp, and now this! If only the borders would open up soon.
that campsite he used was one of the campsites featured in yuru camp too.
Your enthusiasm is so contagious, and makes all your contents so incredibly enjoyable!
Thank you for bringing us Japan deprived viewers along your adventures.. Really appreciate it..
It's already a good sunday and this video pop up on my notification just makes it better
Hope the rest of the day is great~
I would 100% camp solo in Japan! This looks like so much fun! Also the fog at 6:48 reminds me of something out if Silent Hill, just waiting for pyramid head to casually walk through it in the background😅😅
Much love from Arizona ❤️❤️
Usually I avoid narrow roads, but these winding treks through the mountains…may have changed my mind. Loved the sea of clouds…so beautiful and serene. Thank you for waking up early to capture it!
Oh wow. That mountain top viewpoint was just spectacular with the flowers and clouds and rainbow. Couldn't tell what the red flowers were but lovely either way. Even with the fog! Really loving these camping vids, definitely excited for the road trip coming up too! I would so love to go solo camping in Japan! It would be such a nice way to get out and recharge from all the hustle and bustle of the big cities. I know they have their own greenspaces and their own charm, but being able to get back to big wild spaces like the woods, mountains, or the ocean is what makes my heart happy. Thanks again for posting this one!
That shot after coming up the mountain, walking to the view point, looks straight out of a film or anime
Everyone excited about the rainbow and I'm over here like "fog!" 😍 I used to get fog where I lived and sometimes I couldn't even see the pine trees right across the street. But where I've been living for about 2 years now, no fog. Ugh. I miss the fog; absolutely love it.
I *camp* believe we get this quality for free! Like a tv documentary...
Always take the backstreet! You’ll never ever regret it! Thanks for always posting these videos at this time. Getting the notifications means I’m always one of the first to watch the whole thing when I have time!!
Thanks so much Nicole!!
that rainbow with the picturesque landscape has me speechless🤩 what a view😌
I hope you continue this camping series! I love this casual yet fun adventures in unknown places of Japan!
Man, loving your work lately. Also liking how you are able to create multiple videos out of a single trip and weave them all together. Its like little easter eggs for people that watch all your videos.
More camper van streams!!!! This is amazing. Thank you so much.
Thanks for joining!
11:35 Norm is driving a Kei camper van and STILL manages to lose stuff inside it! I guess the Japanese must have TARDIS technology-bigger on the inside!
I loved the scenery on the mountaintop. That drone is a real asset to enhance your videos.
I seriously doubt I could walk out of one of those second hand stores with my arms empty.
Thank you for this. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I got the Doctor Who reference! Yas! lol. Japan: Norms coming. Challenge accepted!
Hi Notification Squad! 🙋♀️
Hyooooo!
Those drone shots are amazing! What a beautiful location. Love the pink/orange flowers on the hills.
I really find these videos entertaining. Good job!
Thank you for taking us with you on your camping trip! I love the drone shots from the campsite at the mountain top. The fog at night was kinda scary lol
I've never been the type of person who enjoys camping but holy crap Norm, the vibe of your videos is something else. So beautiful and calming and just plain enjoyable to watch. You make me want to pack up and go into the Japanese forest (I cannot, I am stuck in Australia).
I've gone down the rabbit hole of camper vans and the van-lifestyle vids thanks to you lol. Definitely inspiring!
Haha glad you’re enjoying it so much 😊
The rural roads in Japan look very similar to those in the UK. Narrow winding roads are common in the UK too.
Your video are getting better and better. 👍🏽👍🏽
wonderful video Norm. Thanks for sharing and l love the van and the spots you found to camp with it :)
Your adventures always lead to such beauty! Thanks for sharing with us!! 🥰
Glad you like them!
hope your day is great~
That rainbow! Wow. Love this sorta videos. Keep it up Norm!
These traveling and camping videos that you did this year are great. And I learned about your other channel today, which I'm going to check out later today.
Bro! I’ve been watching you for a while and your energy makes me so happy and always enlightens my day. Keep it up
That drive up was worth it just for the rainbow Adobe alone. It reminds me a lot of the drive up the Sandia Mountains in Albuquerque, NM. The drive started at 70 degrees and dropped to 23 degrees at the top!
A Veritech fighter in a second-hand shop? Awesome!
I just found and watch 1 of your vids and you are now my favorite channel!
Camping in the mountains seems so relaxing
I like how the lore about a video expands with added live streams and behind the scenes vlogs, so you get an all around picture :D
Also, I swear I have seen that hill with the rainbow in Yuru Camp.
The view on the moutain looked amazing ! Really beautiful
Super absorbed into the video Norm, awesome
The view from that mountain top, spectacular!
that mountain is burnt into my brain it really is beautiful , also the fog was oddly scary but the lighting the fire omitted + you cooking your dinner made it an oddly peaceful piece of scenery , cool video as always !
This place is beautiful! And you are brave!
By far the grratest channel I've discovered this year. Great content and thanks for this amazing experience
Thank you for your time in camping. I loved it so much. I have never gone camping alone but loved to camp with friends and family cuz it’s fun.
Love your videos mate and the music you choose is always so good too.
no wonder you're in such good spirits and health all the time -- you get to see amazing places like this.. wow
Going back to make sure I have fully watched every video and making sure I comment too. 😉 I loved that sunrise footage. Props for getting up at 4:30!! Also that public bath was really small. 😅
What I like about your channel is that you seem are talking to just the person watching, and not an audience
Beautiful views!!
This is awesome!!!
Thumbs up before I even watched. Your last camper tour was a winner so I'm looking forward to this!
I gotta say, I'm always still bobbing my head along with the music choices on this channel. Makes the video that much more fun to watch.
The music and the scenery at the second site really made me feel like I was watching a Makoto Shinkai movie!
I'm dreaming of exploring and camping in Japan like this, thank you again for another amazing video
Always enjoyable. Thank You, Norm.
Ordered one of the Shamisen Pidgeon t-shirts, looking forward to it arriving.
Take care Norm.
Loved that van! Gosh I gotta go and do a sola camping trip. Loved the content!
Ahhhh! 6:04 Thought so, the pathway to the top, the overlook to Lake Suwa and Okaya....yeah the animators of Yuru Camp really nailed their depiction of that area. (For those interested it's season 1 episode 5). So envious of you Norm.
As soon as I saw those stairs I figured that this was it. Fun part is those places in the anime all exist, would be fun to check them all out. Yuru camp was part of my inspiration last year to tour western US national parks solo last year in my truck for 3 weeks during Covid
You know your on the right channel, when the cam gets throw around right at the start. =)
great to find this channel. a few years ago I rented a motorbike and travelled from Tokyo all the way down thru shikoku and onto and around Kyushu and then back to Honshu and up the northern coast basically riding the mountain passes. Noticed a few campervans on the trip and thought that it would be fun way to travel.
Looking forward to seeing where you go.
This is like my dream. I love it. Great video!
Wow that view is beautiful. The sea of clouds.
since watching this vid I'm planning on going to Japan next year to follow in your footsteps, looks like ana amazing way to travel Japan
Very nice, love them drone images.
You are always up for an adventure Norm. I respect that about you.
amazing vlog, keep it up
Is always a happy Sunday whenever Norm post! Hugs from Brazil!
Glad I could put this one up!
aaahhhh!!! this is so cool! subscribed!!!
Welcome to the adventure~
First time seen your videos and I’m already loving it, the roof of the caravane is cool
Wow I just found your videos like a hour ago.. 😳 and I'm still watching..subbed!!
Loved the mountain views. The rainbow, ocean of clouds and even the fog was beautiful. The drone shots were spectacular as well. Although I am not a fan of driving I would love to take a motorcycle on those small mountain roads.
Hey Norm hope your well? Stunning views & i love that camper van its amazing xx
Beautiful area with the rainbow in the distance
7:05 foggy nights in the middle of nowhere is what I live for- silent hill is a dream not a nightmare :)
It's videos like yours that make me not regret buying a highres monitor lol. Great video, I might see myself doing this at some point.
Norm! Ok so had to share that I just got a new TV and decided to watch a bunch of TL camping videos as the inaugural ones....and best decision EVER! Such vivid colours, crystal clear resolution and felt like I was actually inside the damn screen. That rainbow & flowers from this viewpoint?!! WOW. (it's a Samsung 50", because I know you're wondering) 🌸
Such a chill vid
There are very few vehicles I would ever want to own. That van is on the list: so amazing!
red flower mountain top rainbow = pure epicness
I've always loved taking scenic, rural routes! Yeah it takes longer, but it's fun to just get a glimpse into places that aren't meant to be touristy.
Love your videos its so magical ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Looking forward to the week long camping trip :)
Looks dope shall I tag along 😂❤️ love the quality of the content 💟☺️
Outdoors in Japan, no better place in the World. Love it Norm, nice one.
Thanks Robb!
Weekend camping here in japan is one of the most fun things I can think of. Never gets old
I am so jealous! I want to go camper-van-ing! Especially in the rain. Looks like it was fun.
I am going camping tomorrow.
I am rewatching your camping related videos in order to mimic.
I hope I could get some cool footage.
I love the videos where you camp in a Kei van. We have a few places we want to visit whenever we get to Japan - we want to see a couple of cities, and a good friend of mine lives in Kagoshima - and these camping videos make it tempting to do a road trip for at least some of the trip rather than just flying everywhere. We've done road trips together around New Zealand and Ireland so it would be lovely to do in Japan too when we get the chance. Such beautiful scenery.
I am enjoying these videos very, very much. Camping, exploring....
Very nice Norm especially the rainbow surprise.
