Announcement of the event details for "Outdoor Gearzine Trailhead" exhibition event for mountain tools

Written by Yasushi Hisatomi

Hello, this is an announcement from the editorial department. This fall, Outdoor Gearzine will be holding its first exhibition event!

Starting autumn mountain climbing with Outdoor Gearzine “Outdoor Gearzine Trailhead”

Mountain tools can only be seen, touched, and used to understand their benefits. Aiming to be a broader, deeper, and more sincere source of information about outdoor gear than anywhere else, Outdoor Gear is exploring all the ways to provide more people with the opportunity to learn about mountain tools, not just text, but also videos, as well as real spaces.

we are able to quickly rent a stylish gallery space from Wab Design INC., a design company located near Yoyogi Park As this rare occasion is rare, it was decided that an event would be held!

However, it is just a web magazine with mountain tools run in small increments in a corner of the internet. What can you do in real space? What will happen? To be honest, it's completely unknown, but by the fact that communication that has been closed on the web has spread in real life, it will surely create exciting experiences that are on a different level than before. We would like to make this a place where everyone who is even slightly interested in mountain climbing can enjoy it, so we look forward to seeing many people coming.

Planning overview:

"Trailhead" is an English word that means "trailhead." This is our first event, and autumn is in the middle of autumn leaves, so we are preparing the following projects with the aim of getting more people to learn about Outdoor Gearzine's activities and helping them become the starting point (entrance) to start climbing mountains.

I'm going to do this project! (Updated October 30, 2016)

1. You can learn and experience the most popular mountain tools you'd recommend for the 2016 autumn foliage season!

Outdoor Gearzine has introduced various recommended mountain equipment every season, but in this exhibition we have selected recommended gear, assuming you are climbing the mountain "now" in the middle of the autumn foliage season. We will introduce all the recommended mountain tools we have independently researched and selected from a large lineup including new items in several categories, including rainwear and backpacks.

2. Beginners can fully understand what to wear and what should I bring to hike in autumn!

What should you actually take and how much do you need to take to climb a mountain? Outdoor Gearzine will be recreating the contents of the backpack when climbing the mountains in real life and displaying it. You can also touch and check it out on the spot, and you can ask anything you have any questions you may have on the spot, so even beginners are welcome. Of course, this is just a view based on Outdoor Gearzine's experience, but on the other hand, I think we can provide a flat opinion that is not biased towards any manufacturer.

3. We've released past outdoor gear that has been tested at a great price!

At Outdoor Gearzine, the number of outdoor gear that has been actually purchased and tried using gear reviews and comparison tests continues to increase every day. It's true that I want to keep it as a document, but I'm starting to feel physically useless, and it's a shame that it's a good thing to use even though it's a good thing to use.

I came there and this event. If you sell it here, it will be perfect for readers of the site, so we are offering some of the items that have been tested at a discounted price. Please note that sizes are inevitably limited.

Furthermore, to avoid confusion, the specific names of each item have been hidden, but since most of them are on sale for items that have already been reviewed, if you're reading this site, you'll probably be able to make a prediction. In other words, it's all excellent gear, no value!

4. Packing Course 2016 by Arai Yusuke

lastly

This exhibition event was decided to be held at the last minute, depending on the timing and timing.

Of course, outdoor enthusiasts, but I was thinking of starting to climb mountains, but there's no one who could casually tell me about it, and it seems like it's convenient for me to be able to say it in a store, so I hope that it's definitely worth visiting if you've felt that the hurdles are high. It is a newborn event where there is no fixed atmosphere, no fixed atmosphere, or regular customers at all. As long as you have a few millimeters of interest in mountains, you don't need anything else.

So we look forward to seeing many people coming!
