Its been a few years since I have been backpacking so I’m going car camping soon to make sure all my gear is still functional and safe. I can tell i am out of practice because I can’t manage to fit everything in my pack like I could have before.
The worst part about going to Japan is having to leave. It will always be my favorite country and I look forward to the next time.
