You’ll find a hatchet for setting up your campfire, your first gas bottle included, plus pots, pans, cutlery, sharp knives, mugs, wine glasses, and more. We’ve even thrown in playing cards, games, AUX cables for tunes, and spare phone chargers in case yours didn’t make the packing list.This micro camper has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Whether you're chasing surf spots, hiking trails, or quiet forest hideaways, Tanuki is your trusty sidekick — compact enough for backroad adventures and sufficiently comfy for campfire dinners under the stars.Based in Victoria, BC, Tanuki is ready to roll anywhere across the island, so relax and explore at your perfect pace.
