Saito Masashi's Taiwan Trail Event, Yamagata Long Trail report. Ask any other hiking professionals about anything else

The start of a new season. This season is the time when hikers start to get busy wondering where to go and where to walk.

This is a chat party called a talk live where Outdoor Gearzine readers and Saito Masashi, a senior hiking, triple crowner, professional hiker, and representative of the Yamagata Long Trail Club, all talk casually about this feeling. I hope that it will be a peaceful meeting, just like the evening after dinner at my favorite mountain hut.

We hope to hear from Mr. Saito about the trail event in Taiwan, the Yamagata Long Trail he is currently working on, and about his recent favorite tools, and provide various advice from participants and talk about what's going on in the future. After that, there will be some important announcements from Mr. Saito and me, so if you are patronizing this site, please come and visit us!

The event will be served with light meals, alcohol and soft drinks (you can bring them on the day). We also offer souvenirs from Outdoor Gearzine.

Saito Masashi Profile

Since 2012, he has been active as Japan's only professional hiker. In order to spread trail culture, he walks trails overseas and contributes mainly to outdoor media, while also working to create trail courses in his hometown of Yamagata. He is committed to through-hiking (walking a route in one go in a single year), and has through-hiked over 22,000 km (more than halfway around the earth) of trails alone. He is also active in all aspects of the outdoors, and has also taught camping, crafts, slacklining, and trail cooking. His current life's work is the Yamagata Long Trail (YLT), an initiative to create trails in his hometown of Yamagata, and this year he is developing the Shirataka Hills Trail, which even beginners can easily take on. If you are interested in other projects, please feel free to contact usPlease see this page for details. →YLT Club Homepage
