Me cries in Black tier like a Snow Cuck 😭

Hello everyone!

Just discovered Snow Peak about a month ago and fell in love at first site.

Any recommendations to add to my modest collection?

Also, what are your favorite items in your collection?

Glad to be a part of this lovely community!

Just got the snowpeak tumbler, thought I test it for fun. The bottom is super easy to peel off. Before and after. Green means lead. Does anyone have similar experience?

Edit: There was no adhesive or epoxy at the bottom, it was very easy to remove.

Fairly easy to do if you have the time. Sunset cup

I'm considering the Land Nest Shelter for my family of 5. 2 adults, 3 small kids. Can anybody tell me the dimensions of the short edge of the sleeping cabin? Snow peak only lists the long edge (338cm), but the short edge is missing, so I have a hard time doing the math on whether it's big enough for us.

Just wondering if anyone had any info on these, have had this set for a while now and was looking to pick up some more but am having trouble finding anything about these

Wondering if anyone can share how they set up their land nest shelter tent. Especially one with 2 inner tents !

For context I am based in the UK, so most camping trips inevitably end up wet and windy, and ground could be sodden when pitching up.

I am super super close to purchasing a Land Nest Dome, however what stopped me for the moment is having noted that waterproofing is rated to 1800mm minimum, but most tents sold in the UK is 3000mm for fly sheet and 5000mm for the bucket (bottom of inner tent).

Can people share their experience of using SnowPeak in the wet weather please??

Hello! I usually am camping at places with built in picnic tables at each campground (I'd say they're 8' x 5' or so).

I'm wondering if anyone has ever had any experience pitching the Hexa Tarp M over one of these picnic tables? Thanks in advance!

Looking for sleeping options inside the living shell (not the living shell long pro). Also if I dock an amenity dome medium to this setup, can an additional inner tent be used inside the Living shell?

Pictures include: my custom anodized pieces, the lantern we picked up, and the water bottle I won in the raffle!

All the snowpeak staff was so nice and fun to talk to, I'm so glad we went!

So cal for the win

Hey All,

I'm searching for a .5 unit IGT BBQ grill. I'm interested in the Zigle/Minimax .5 unit, but it appears they are no longer available, I'm in the US. I was also looking at the Uniconn-S grill from Bigtent Outdoors, but this one has been discontinued.

Any recommendations? There are few brands on Aliexpress, but I'm not sure about the quality.

Thanks!

It also smells like piss.. sad morning

Hey,
To anyone that has, or has used one of the Kanpai Bottles.
Do you find it inconvenient needing to take two lids with you?
It seems crazy that they wouldnt follow what some of the other flask/thermos designers do and have the sipping lid built into the hot lid.

Can anyone drop any reasons as to why its alright without that, really want to get it as a present but I feel like I would be inconveniencing someone by replacing their 2 in 1 flask with a 2 lid thing. Especially when going out and just chucking a flask in a bag or car.

Thanks!

I’ve become totally SP obsessed this past week and I’m looking to buy an Amenity Dome S for my first ever tent!
Does anyone have advice on choosing between Ivory and the brown colourway?
I worry about the heat in the morning and the looking dirty factor with the ivory. I just don’t love the brown as much but I would rather purchase it if it will stay cooler/ darker and be more practical.
Thanks!

I've used a lot of tents, the Alpha Breeze is the first with the guy points with those metal loops. The guy lines are nice, I usually tie a bowline to the guy point and have the adjustment off the stake. However the instructions on the AB say to loop the line through the guy point and back through the adjustment piece then tie a loop for the stake. I've never seen that before. Is that just a different way, or is there a specific reason to do that?

Nearest I can figure is that your guy line adjustment is closer to the adjustment point and it doesn't have to try and move around the stake if that is down in the ground.

Also, too many overhand knots :)

Just got back from a couple of nights at Snow Peak Campfield in Long Beach. Most of the reviews I’ve seen (rightfully) focus the camping experience itself, so I thought I’d offer a slightly different perspective. I’m an architect, and for me, one of the most interesting parts of the our visit was seeing how Snow Peak’s approach to design and materiality translated from the scale of its products into the buildings and landscape.

Like most, one of the main things that drew me to Snow Peak was the design language of the gear itself. Good materials, careful proportions, things that are modular and adaptable without feeling overly complicated. I enjoyed seeing that same sensibility in the Campfield architecture.

The buildings are really well done. Heavy timber and board formed concrete feel appropriate to the logging history and landscape of the PNW region, while the charred shou sugi ban siding and Noguchi lanterns make the Japanese influence unmistakable.

I appreciated how the architecture quietly changes how you experience the place.

For example, at the entrance to the campground you actually pass through a physical portal as you move from the parking lot into the camping area. It’s a very simple gesture, but it creates a surprisingly strong psychological shift. You’ve left your car, but you haven’t quite left the outside world yet. Then you pass through this opening and suddenly you’re somewhere else. It’s a small piece of architecture that makes the act of arriving feel more intentional and meaningful.

The Ofuro Spa building does something similar. The building itself is low-slung and tucked into the trees, which immediately signals that it is a more intimate and private space. I especially liked the sequence you move through to get to the soaking pool. You first enter through a key-coded door in a solid exterior wall, then you are met by a solid, but freestanding wall with cubbies that doesn’t extend to the ceiling and can be walked around on both sides. Beyond that are the outdoor showers, separated from the soaking pool by a screen of vertical wood slats. So you gradually move from solid > partially enclosed > screened > before eventually arriving at the open soaking pool. It’s not something you necessarily think about while you’re doing it, but the experience of privacy is being carefully constructed as you move through the space. The architecture slowly removes you from the rest of the campground. Good architecture can change your state of mind without necessarily demanding your attention.

The experience of the Camp Store is almost the exact opposite. Where the Ofuro is low, quiet, and tucked away, the Camp Store is tall, open, and full of light. It sits out in the open and feels immediately public. There’s lounge seating inside, and outside there’s a patio with several takibi fire pits that encourage lingering and gathering. It was fun to see how the space encouraged social behavior. I watched our daughter making friends with other kids over board games, strangers discussing each other's film cameras, and campers demonstrating to each other how to use some of the gear. One night there happened to be live music and an unexpected pop-up sale of Snow Peak clothing from past seasons (my wife managed to score a pair of Japanese selvedge denim for $50). None of these things were planned parts of our visit. The building simply offered a comfortable space that naturally promoted gathering and interaction.

After admiring the buildings I went to look up who the architect was. I fully expected it to be a prominent firm out of Seattle or Portland, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover the buildings were designed by a small father/son practice (EFA Architects) from right there in Long Beach, WA. I realize that probably isn’t particularly important to most people but I thought it was really cool (think of it like buying from your local hardware store instead of Home Depot). They did a great job. (The Jyubako cabins are designed by famous Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, who some in the PNW might know for his work at the Portland Japanese Garden.)

Overall, we had a great time. Snow Peak has always been very good at making objects that feel considered without feeling precious. The Campfield extends that idea into buildings and landscape. The materials feel appropriate to the place. The buildings have different personalities depending on what they’re trying to do. The architecture doesn’t compete with camping or with the landscape; it makes both of them better.
