[Camp! 10 BBQ (Best, Bad, Question)! ]

Q1: Why did you start distributing camping videos on YouTube? Kahonan: My dream is to live on an uninhabited island, and while I was aiming for that dream, there were many things I wanted to try and try, so I thought it would be interesting to distribute them on YouTube. Q2: Why do you recommend female solo camps? Kahonan: You can be free and tough (laughs). Q3: What was the scariest event during the camp? Kahonan: I don't have one because I'm always standing tall! Q4: When you ate at the camp, what was more delicious than you expected, and what was not delicious? Kahonan: The viper was more delicious than I expected. What didn't taste good was the "caught fish" that was handled poorly. But now I'm good at it! Q5: Which campground was the best to go to? Kahonan: I really enjoyed camping by the mountain stream. Q6: What is the most memorable and beautiful scenery in the camp? Kahonan: This is Rausu Auto Camping Ground in Hokkaido. It had a plateau-like atmosphere, cool, and (at that time) it was beautiful with dandelions in full bloom. Q7: Were there any camps that were tough? Kahonan: The extreme cold camping in the snow that I (purchased) in the mountains was tough. I did it in April, but it snowed. I didn't have a wood stove, so I tried my best to make a fire and went camping (laughs). Q8: What is the most expensive purchase you have ever made? Kahonan: This is the car (Hijet Cargo) that I bought for overnight trips! Q9: What kind of camp do you want to do now? Kahonan: Live permanently on an uninhabited island and camp! Q10: What is your ideal self 10 years from now? Kahonan: I live permanently on an uninhabited island! As soon as he finished answering 10 questions to Mr. Kahonan, Kaneko seemed to be very interested, saying, "There are a lot of interesting answers!" First, when I asked him why he admired the uninhabited island life, he smiled, saying, "As I was trying to survive, I started to think, 'I want' (a deserted island)." peek into the Also, the real thrill of survival is, "Unlike modern conveniences, it's a place where you can test your strength." Furthermore, as I mentioned in my answer, Mr. Kahonan has his own mountain to enjoy camping. When asked about the key points to avoid failure when purchasing a mountain, he answered, "If the slope (of the mountain) is too steep, it's not suitable for camping. (laughs) If you don't want to do it yourself, a flat mountain is better." I also purchased Daihatsu's Hijet Cargo for traveling in the car. He customized the interior of the car, put together a bed, and traveled around Hokkaido for about a month and a half. In order to fulfill his dream of living on an uninhabited island, he is looking for information on uninhabited islands, but with a wry smile, "I can't find anything I can afford to buy...". If he bought an uninhabited island, he said, "I want to live there! I want to build a hut, raise chickens and goats, and catch fish by skin diving."
