Tent hiking with NEMO for everyone
The last time we held a snowy mountain climbing event in March, we received a response like this.
"I usually do a lot of solo hiking, but when it comes to snowing mountains, it's a high hurdle to start on my own, so I'm grateful for this kind of opportunity."
surely. Looking back at myself, I learned everything about the mountains just because my seniors climbing together were right next to me (up to date, university club activities and mountain clubs for working adults have mainly played this role). In recent years, guide-like information has become easier to obtain, making it easier for a single person to get started (for better or worse).
However, when it comes to climbing a snowy mountain, it is not possible to challenge yourself alone, and that is why many participants gathered at the last snowy mountain event.
So, due to these high hurdles, another hurdle that makes it difficult for a single person to take a step is " climbing and hiking in a tent ."
Through hiking and traverse climbing, which involves everything you need to live, such as tents and food, and aims for a far-reaching destination is the best part of an adventure in nature.
However, when you stay in a tent, the things you need to prepare are completely different from day trips or staying at a hut.
It's a lot of work to get the equipment first (budget).
And carrying that equipment is also heavy (physically).
And there is a heavy sense of anxiety about spending the night in nature where no help is required.
For this reason, there are surprisingly many people who want to try staying in a tent someday but can't take a step further. You can't gain experience alone, but it's also difficult to pay a lot of money to go on a guided tour. Matching service? For people with high communication skills? Those who are worried about this.
This project is perfect for those who have experienced staying in a tent and want to take a step forward in the future, with NEMO, a tent hike! " is.
Tents, sleeping bags, mattress...NEMO supports your equipment concerns
After all, we have been given a strong supporter to help this event.
