A day when core brands and core gear enthusiasts intersect, this is now a major movement!
Now, the other day, the third Gentle Hiker Stand (hereinafter referred to as GHS) was held on April 27th, 2025. If a brand that's too much of an interest comes together in Mooka, it's not possible to stop visiting!
So, considering last year's great success, I decided to arrive at the middle of lunchtime, so I would like to introduce everything this time, but I'll be merciless to have picked out all of them, so please bear with me.
First off, it's definitely Nruc!
At first, Nuruk, who was just inside the entrance, was the founder of the event, and is now one of us, a joint joint venture of the four executive committees It is as popular as ever, and as the face of the outdoors community in Tochigi and Mooka, there is no need to explain it. It seems that the event-sale model and outlet sales were also very popular this time.
The second half of the event finally calmed down, and Oita products were also featured, making it a very popular item that is satisfying.
Incidentally, the booth next door is Mountain Daisy Products led by Shikaku Yuri! I thought it was amazing and took a photo... I just wanted to (bitter smile) That's no good, so I regret it. He was also friends with Nuruk, and it seems that he has also gained popularity in the past.

I received one from Nurkuwood before the start of the season.
No, there's an incredible line (sweat) The stickers you can get on a first come, which must have been instantly killed.
There are plenty of drinks, alcohol and food too!
There is a food area on the right side of the entrance and north. It was just lunchtime, so it was a huge success everywhere.
I'm not familiar with alcohol so I don't know about it, but the person I accompanied said PASSIFIC BREWING was so famous that he came to look forward to this place.

I've eaten at other outdoor events in the past, but there was a long line of people who took a trip to a kiln-baked pizza.

Ripa!
Ripa runs a small outdoor store in Kawaguchi, Saitama Prefecture
There are a line of unique handmade backpacks. Personally, I have been working with you in the past, which I wrote a recent article about in the past, and I have been working with you in the outdoor shop Rimba, Urawa, Saitama.
From the exploration note
The accessories made from the scraps that come out when making sacoches and packs are also cute.
It's up to you to decide whether to store a slightly larger plastic bottle, Nalgene, or something else . When you say that, I don't think I've seen many things that can be used as a square bottle holder.

Welldone!
The slightly unique shape of the backpack seems to have a BIKE&HIKE concept by Welldone.
The big logo has a strong personality and personality, so it's sure to be hooked by anyone who likes it.

RawLow Mountain Works!
It's no exaggeration to say that it's already popular, and Rourou is shining at the event specials.
This is a 10th Anniversary Anniversary product that was on sale for pre-order, and is available under the double name of that Montkage. 10th Anniversary Special Edition RawLow Mountain Works x Montkage MINO 3.0!!
Did you say that? That's amazing. This quilted-shaped product from Octa on the back, and the regular version of Montkage also seems to be well received, so it's interesting!

That's something that bothers me a little
The author, who is OWL MILS sunglasses and glasses man, is looking at them with all his desire.
I wanted to go to a shop in Takasaki, but... City to Summit
Some of them are available in one place on the classic Pico Grills of the past.
MOUNTAIN JOHNNY!
MOUNTAIN JOHNNY produces and sells backpacks and other items to order
Models that are usually hard to buy on e-commerce sites are sold at events only. I'm curious about the Flat Bag Wzip on the far left.

mikikurota!
Mikikurrota is the place to run DCF tents/shelters in Japan.
The last time I opened the store, it was almost at the start of the event, but when it came to the popularity of the event, there was a long line at Nina-Goku. This time it was just after noon, so I was able to take a leisurely look.
mikikurrota official website https://mikikurota.com/index.html
By now, there are only a few highlights.
The Empty Bottlers!
Yes, that crazy plastic bottle shop.
It's only after noon that you can watch it slowly, but I imagine that around the hour of the opening was amazing. When Kawara Kitake was making his first debut at the event, it was already an oddity.

Ikejiri Hiking Club!
Ikejiri himself has been very active in hosting events such as photo markets.
We mainly sell used items and offer unique hike T-shirts. If you're interested, please check it out at a future event!

mouse on trail!
Mouse on Trail offers a wide range of products from original gear to trail running and outdoor equipment at Sendai's trail running and outdoor shops.
The made-to-order DATE15 series on display is of high quality, and it's quite impressive, making me dazzle.

TMR&noicoyamaico!
TMR and Neikoyamaiko, who are very grateful for their help at Gia Gin, will be exhibiting at a joint booth. Then suddenly, the can cooler supernova Boilis appeared! The UL can cooler, which only 50g, is as light as if it doesn't come in the box that comes with it, and what makes it completely different from other can coolers is that it can also be used as a cooker! I may also have a detailed review of this in Gear Gin in the future!? So please wait.
Previous visits
Neiko's new UL Matchbox is very popular, and she's hitting the good side.
The UL Table series is synonymous with Neiko, but here we have also released an aluminum top plate that combines lightness and strength, and the range of options has expanded, making it too confusing (bitter smile)

LEISMOR！
And next to me is Raysmore.
Again, from past visits
The new bottle upgrade kit is catching your eye!
The luminous ghost band series that can be used for everything is still popular, and if you think that there are still more new releases coming this year, you should be sure to check out the trends.

pentapetala!
Pentapetala apparently had a joint pop-up at Kawara Kidake, an outdoor goods store in Tochigi City the day before, which was very popular
New store information from 2025
I still get the impression that I'm still full of things to get orders for this trail running shoe Papilio... but there may be some new developments soon!? It's probably not. It seems that there were also original tenugui and T-shirts on sale.

Yas guess gear!
Yas guess gear, also known as ygg.
One-Hand POKKE is ygg's masterpiece. The great joy of garage brand products is that you can customize your order in such detail, even with just one item.
When you're thinking about ordering, you're sure to get lost in the customization labyrinth (lol)
But that's what makes it fun.

A late lunchtime and a tour of Mooka
It was almost the end of lunchtime, but we escaped from the venue and headed for lunch.
Kaihan Restaurant is a Chinese restaurant recommended by Nulkwood! However, it was conveniently located just a 3-minute walk from the venue, so lunch was finished early and the restaurant closed quickly (wry smile). I wanted to eat Dandan noodles!

After that, I continued to travel from store to store in circles, but there were many shops that weren't open in the first place (tears), so I thought it was a waste to go around the shops listed on the special event map. However, when I visited Wood at a later date, he heard that after the event, the Tourism Association responded with a cheerful response, "I hope we can cooperate in the future...", so I look forward to seeing what happens next year.
By the way, this street is the small atelier of the original Nruc.
After continuing to wander, I managed to slip into COCORO, a pasta shop located almost behind the Mooka Town Aruki parking lot.
We ordered a pasta lunch with an unlimited salad bar!
Peperoncino with vegetables!
I'm satisfied with the after-meal sweet chiffon cake.

You can also walk to Mooka Station to NRUC NEST!
After lunch, we went to NRUC NEST, an outdoor shop and atelier located in front of the station in Mooka.
From past exploration stories
This is also very popular, just like the event venue, and it is very popular with mountain equipment, cafes, and Nruc side. With so many people traveling back and forth between the venue, I thought it would be even better if this trend spread to the entire city of Mooka.
It's almost time for the closing time!
I left NRUC NEST and headed back to the venue again, and if I had time I would have wandered around town a little more, and I also had a SL event held in front of the station so I wanted to see it, but there wasn't much time. The wisteria entangled with the tree is amazing.
I returned to the venue in a straight line.
rootwat socks!
Rootwat socks is an assassin from Gifu Prefecture.
There were also modern wool and polyester hybrid socks, but what caught my eye was the hybrid socks! Of course, there are many different products that don't tear and can be washed. It seems to be comfortable to wear. And his ability as a sock shop is also working on OEMs for a certain outdoor brand, so he will continue to watch out for him.

Kawara Kidake!
Kawara Kitake is busy and busy, as he has moved to a lot of event stalls here, and stores are pop-ups. See the links I've seen so far.
It's now commonplace at Kawara Kidake, which is a wide variety of unusual items, including Dynyma leather wallets!? This is a place you'd like to visit again when the new store has a wide selection.

TANNUKI!
The last one is a raccoon. The raccoons were also very busy with consecutive events, but... Next up, they were the main event on May 11th, 2025, which was also announced in this event report.

That's when the time has come up, and I'm also surprised that there are many misses, and I missed Meshika, Pedestri, Lunetz, and Ametsuchi, and I'm in the first place, so I'm in awe of the author's sloppyness (bitter smile)
I would like to close GHS2025 with the challenge of developing a proper look.
