03: Thoroughly sustainable
Corporate Spirit.
In Japan, camping is mainly about enjoying BBQ and drinking in nature, but in Europe, it is a little different. In Europe, however, it is a little different. The purpose is to get deeper into nature in order to enjoy outdoor activities to the fullest. Camping is merely a means to that end.
In the spirit of this camping trip, we decided to try some outdoor activities to put them into practice ourselves.
First, we will try SUP (Stand Up Paddleboarding). Wearing a wetsuit and equipped with a board and paddle, we set out for a lake near the campsite.
Masayuki Takahata, one of Japan's leading paddlers, served as our guide. He has achieved brilliant results in various domestic and international competitions such as rafting and adventure racing, and in 2017, he won the Sup Sprint event at the GoPro Mountain Games in Colorado, becoming the world champion,Ambassador for Jack WolfskinHe also serves as a
Under Mr. Takahata's guidance, the participants change their stance from kneeling to standing upright and paddle left and right to move through the water. The key is to use the core firmly. Once you get used to it, it is not so difficult even for beginners.
Cruise leisurely on the lake for an hour or so as if you were taking a walk. Just looking at the surrounding mountains from the calm surface of the water is a very relaxing experience.
Next, we tried mountain biking. Jack Wolfskin has focused on bicycles as an outdoor activity since its establishment. On this day, we will be riding Specialized'sTURBO".
This is a mountain bike with electric power assist. Specialized Japan prepared it especially for this camping trip.
At a glance, the TURBO looks just like a regular mountain bike, but it has a stylish design that is typical of Specialized. The TURBO features a battery level gauge, which is unique to the TURBO.
I immediately straddled the "TURBO" and headed out on the mountain bike trail course.

The "TURBO" is a first-time experience for everyone, but even inexperienced mountain bikers and women can easily ride up the trails. Jack Wolfskin's message is "THE DOOR TO OUTDOORS. We want to be a door for everyone to touch, share, and protect the wonderful nature that this planet (the earth) has to offer. The "TURBO" gear seems to be an item that fits the philosophy of "Jack Wolfskin.
We want to preserve this beautiful nature forever and pass it on to the next generation. Playing in the mountains or at the sea will naturally make you want to preserve this beautiful nature forever and pass it on to the next generation. Playing in nature with all your might, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life in the city, is a good opportunity to think about the global environment.
Jack Wolfskin has been committed to environmental issues since its founding and has pursued sustainable manufacturing by using recycled materials and not using materials that have a high impact on the environment. One of the company's philosophies is to create products that are durable, long-lasting, and endearing. This high level of awareness is also typical of the German brand, which is known as an environmentally advanced country.
