[Backpacking Shelter] Record of a two-day trip with CLASS EXPOSITIONS, one-night trip with Kitamura, Part 1 [Garage brand visit]
"The mission is to create beautiful things."
Have you heard of the brands that are currently creating outdoor gear through this proposition?
The name is CLASS EXPOSITIONS, translated as a class exhibition. I will discuss the origin of this in a later episode.
Previous visit
After leaving Chino's town, mountain equipment and cafe Eight Door, one night away, you will be moved to the place where Kitamura, the representative of CLASS EXPOSITIONS, is waiting.
And then we arrived at the studio. This may be a sudden question, but this was the trigger for this visit, and I'm personally paying attention to the gear Backpacking Shelter! To be honest, it's amazing performance. This details will be carried over to the final visit.
Goshi the representative of CLASS EXPOSITIONS , so you're young! However, he is so solid that when he compares to when he was younger I feel a bit uneasy about how bad he is (bitter smile)
And the smile is wonderful.
I met Kitamura at THE FLAPPERLAND DOORS, an outdoor event held annually in Nagatoro Town, Saitama Prefecture.

Going back in the year, there was a stall in the spring of 2023, and at this time I wasn't affiliated with Giajin, but I went to the venue normally and found it, but when I asked him how to use it in the shelter on display, the small square pyramid-shaped shelter that I think is for dogs! I can really remember how I was able to sleep by using the character "ku" (lol)
A long time ago, this visit was brought to me by a mysterious connection.
The inside of the atelier was also very logical and I was impressed.
With all the details in mind, we first decided to go to the nearby mountains, so we looked into the mountain range within easy reach before heading out.
In between, they also showed me one-off items that they had produced in the past and had no plans to commercialize.
Then we arrived under a certain mountain in just over an hour from the studio.
Let's get some preparations and get started! That's what happens.
Is it about 30 minutes to go, the author has been working hard every day? And it's pathetic that he's down due to fatigue from long distance travel. I wondered if I could somehow move, so I could walk in a series of short breaks... so I gave up without any worries.
It was just a short time until the summit, so Kitamura-san decided to go and descend the mountain.
The image from the summit that I received from Kitamura seemed quite lovely. However, if you live, you will have many opportunities, so you should not overdo it in the mountains.
Here again, Kitamura's smile saved me, and I was able to regain this sympathy later on a full-time, two-day mountain hiking trip using a backpacking shelter that was different from this series. I will also report on this later, so please look forward to it!
After apologizing for the descent, I went to the hot springs, and the sweat was still a little stumping after the end of summer 2024.
After I had a clean sweat here, Kitamura arranged for a campsite on the mountain where I could drive to the summit, so I went overnight while receiving a lecture at the backpacking shelter.
Next time, the full story will be revealed little by little, so please continue to support us!
