This year, we set up a stall at UTMB for the first time. A commemorative photo with our fellow members at the salon entrance. From left: Mr. Takeya from New Hale, myself, Mr. Doi, Mr. Akutada from New Hale, and Mr. Kobayashi from ANSWER4.

The booths are huts called "chalets," and these chalets are really well made.

The counter is removable. If you want customers to enter the booth, it's better to have no counter. The front door can be opened and closed, so it can also serve as a roof, and your products won't get wet even if it rains.

In our case, we have a counter as we are staffed by one person.

Inside, there are image photos lined up,

I lined up the headlights on the inside of the side.

The main item, Trail Master, is displayed on the counter.

We want people from overseas to experience the operability.

It feels good when it fits well.

I don't feel any weight.

We also had the five winners of this campaign come visit our booth.

Since I was the only one setting up the stall, Mr. Takeya from New Hale looked after the store (lol), and Mr. Akutada also looked out for me, which was a great help.

Salomon athlete Lucy Bartholomew. Lucy is a strong athlete who placed second in the women's category at the 2018 Western States Championship in the United States. The Trail Master video we shot with her will be completed soon. Please look forward to it.

And then, something that made me so happy happened about four years ago. I spotted him on the Paris subway in France, and was captivated by his appearance and aura, so I asked him to be a model for Milestone. (As many of you may know, all of Milestone's models are ordinary people. What's more, I approach people I see and think are picturesque to model for us. Basically, everyone agrees, and so far, 98% of my photo shoots have been successful.) But... he flatly turned me down. lol. Looking at the details of Milestone's products, I realized they looked a bit toy-like, so I couldn't model for them...lol. It was that regret, and I wanted to make something even better, and that's how Trail Master was born! It's no exaggeration to say that. Then, he stopped by our booth and asked, "You used to talk to me, right?" I didn't recognize him at first, but his beard and aura immediately reminded me, and he said, "That time!" I compared the Trail Master with the original and thought it had improved so much. I received compliments.lol. Apparently he was involved in the design of various products for the US military... so I realized that he paid close attention to the details of the products. By the way, I participated in the UTMB as a support member. He told me he was participating in the Tordesian (approximately 330km), so I was so happy to see him again that I gave him a limited edition Trail Master UTMB set as a gift.
