Why can't I fall in love with "light luxury camping", but I only love self-service
Under the epidemic, I heard that "light luxury camping" is very popular，sports fitness , and I started a Bikepacking career. I love this very much. I have liked the jungle since I was a child. The first time I walked through the jungle was when I graduated from elementary school. Based on my life experience, I took six classmates to cross the highest peak in my hometown, Doumijian, and then descended from the canyon. And now the equipment is more varied, very complete, no longer lost, more secure. Along the way, I always accept the feelings from the soles of my feet, the passion of burning people's oil, and the pursuit of boundless freedom.
Knowing the way of "light luxury camping" is because I want to find a campsite when planning a cycling route for myself. On the map, I see that my favorite lakeside green space has been marked as xx light luxury camp, and I look at the charging standard. , I was startled, isn't it just a tent, there are thousands at every turn, which is too far from my impression. In the past, the experience was to charge a site fee or a sanitation management fee of several tens of yuan. I remember that the sanitation management fee was only 20 yuan when I camped at the Wanfo Peak in Mount Emei. I'm curious about Baidu's search. To put it simply, "light luxury camping" means that you don't need to bear the weight, you don't need to bear hardships and stand hard work, you only need to pay to enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicious food in the environmental protection of nature. Star camping is available. The main consumers here should be sensual people who are easily infected by Internet celebrities, full of ceremonial sense, and each exquisite dress photo shows the elegance and loftiness that is urgently needed in the heart. Just like the slogan: diamonds are forever, and one lasts forever.
And in my opinion, isn't it the usual way to take family and friends to find a beautiful place for a picnic? Why pay for no reason? Perhaps only consumers can answer. I continued to look for campsites along the Huanhu Road, and found that as long as there are large grasslands that can set up many tents, they are circled and marked as xx wild luxury camps. This money-making wind is really hot. Forget it, let's move on and talk about it, I don't believe that I can't find me camping alone in such a big place.
After riding through two "wild luxury camps", on the small slope, I saw that a large lawn by the lake was surrounded. There were many big tents densely located, and I could hear the exciting music from a distance. , take a closer look, most of them are family teams, children play in the sand, have fun on the grass, adults surround the coffee table, hold mobile phones comfortably, drink tea leisurely, as well as wine, barbecue, clean and beautiful attire Meipai also came to experience the feeling of brushing the phone in another place. How enviable it looks, and deep down I know it's not what I want.
Along the Huanhu Road to the east, the road near Tianjin was flooded, and the Huanhu plan was in vain. I found a piece of grass on the wasteland near a lakeside village. The grass is yellow, and the dry grass is more suitable for camping than the green grass by the lake, and it has less moisture. There is also a large walnut tree next to it, hang a shower bag, and surround the tent floor, you can use the environment to build a simple outdoor shower room.
When I was about to take a shower, I remembered that I forgot to bring my slippers. I can't walk barefoot in the mud when I take a shower. Although it's cold, I can't sleep well if I don't take a shower and put it in my sleeping bag. If you don't have it, you can create it yourself and find a way to make a pair yourself. I found a plastic box with mutton slices and a plastic mesh on the ground by the lake. I used a hunter's knife to make a pair of simple flip-flops, enough to take a bath. When used, it is very unfriendly to the soles of the feet.
After setting up the tent, I moved out my little horse and sat by the lake in the sunset, the donkey meat was burned and the beer was cooked, and the tomatoes that must be brought along with the long-distance routine, the long-distance trek, over the mountains and mountains, a total of 120 kilometers, found a quiet solitude Opportunity is a very satisfying day for me.
People often ask me why I work so hard. Work is tiring enough. My Bikepacking outdoor career combines long-distance light trail riding, camping, hiking, fishing, water play, and more. Every time I travel, I have to personally plan the route and set a small goal. The distance of each route is basically more than 100 kilometers. In fact, I am very greedy about what to see, experience, and enjoy in the itinerary. First, I will use the AutoNavi map to initially plan the riding route, understand the distance and the approximate time needed, and then zoom in on the map for a section. Look at the past, look for those places that may be interesting, and collect them first, so that a dense network of stars is formed on the private map, and planning the itinerary is to string these stars together.
Also consider where you can eat near noon, and whether there are special snacks nearby, as long as there are, I will try to rush there for that bite. If there is a section that goes over mountains and mountains, I will use the two-step road outdoor assistant to check the satellite map and contour line, and check the situation of the climbing section, especially in combination with the previous travel tips of the mountain friends to predict the location of the spring on the mountain, take a look How long does it take to walk the mountain road to get a spring water back and forth.
In the end, it is necessary to estimate what time it will arrive near the destination in the evening. You need to find a camp with water sources. It is best to have less people and beautiful scenery. You have not been to many places, plus possible time errors, so you need to plan 1-2 more. Alternative camp. Sometimes, in order to get rid of the 30 to 40-kilometer road out of Beijing, I would consider taking a car on the S line, high-speed rail or subway, and using a means of transportation to bring a car, I have to think about how to bring it according to the rules. I will write an independent article later. Share experiences. Some people may have already shaken their heads in the face of such a complicated route planning, and some people would say that it is better to just walk and walk easily. In fact, once people are outdoors, they are faced with many unknown and uncertain factors, and only when they are fully prepared can they In order to deal with emergencies freely, we can better enjoy the journey and go further and higher. Besides, I still enjoy planning these things, and I am very willing to share the good strategies with mountain friends and cyclists without reservation. , may we all go home safely after being outdoors.
Every time I travel on weekends or holidays, the scene of traffic jams out of Beijing deepens my belief in Bikepacking. It is the starting point of freedom to go to the open sky and pass freely.
When you see the beautiful scenery on the road, you can turn into the trail at will, stop to take pictures, and switch to the route with less people and beautiful scenery at any time, which invisibly makes the journey longer and richer.
Get out of your comfort zone, challenge the classic track climbs, see how capable you are, when you're riding a heavy touring bike on a hill climb and overtake a road bike, and there are more than one Recognition and pride arise spontaneously. In addition to the mutual encouragement of cyclists, the praise of "you are really amazing" will be sent at the top of the mountain. People should be recognized and exaggerated since childhood. Likes to burn his own fuel to fight uphill, wind resistance, and a long way to go. Enjoy the sweet air brought in by taking a deep breath, enjoy the hearty journey, and enjoy the small sense of accomplishment after self-breakthrough.
Putting myself in the mountains and forests, enjoying the freedom of the sea , every time I will shout, this is the best tomato I have ever eaten. Every time my body is suffering, I can always think of delicious and juicy fruits, and when I return to the real world, I will cherish the current life even more.
Everyone has a different temperament and enjoys the journey in a different way. I don’t know how many people are willing to step out of their comfort zone. There should be people like me who like self-service bikepacking and heavy equipment crossing camping at the same time. Since I often travel alone, I need to be self-reliant and rely on myself, predict possible problems in advance, and do enough homework and preparation before departure. , multi-purpose, without cumbersome, to find a balance between lightweight and comfort. This can not only improve the experience, increase the fun of the journey, but also gain a full sense of achievement. I will continue to pursue that boundless freedom.
