I went camping a lot as a kid, so I think for me it doesn't have either the nearly mystical allure or the intimidation factor it has to first-time campers. I'd like to go again sometime as an adult, but it isn't a huge priority. I love Yuru Camp but I know it won't go down exactly like that lol. Season 3 soon!
There's a movie I saw at the Toronto Film Festival last year, Evil Does Not Exist by Ryusuke Hamaguchi that focuses on a potential campsite opening up in a rural community during the Japanese camping boom. When it finally gets a wider release, I highly recommend it.
Also, re: the everyday carry bag, if you carry a few tampons you may someday be a HUGE hero to a woman in distress.
