ZEN Camps 代表の足立です。 日頃よりZEN Campsをご愛顧いただき、また私たちの活動を支えてくださり、心より感謝申し上げます。 この度、ZEN Campsは、皆様の野営の安全と無事な帰りを願う特別な御守り「火種守（ひだねもり）」を制作いたしました。 このお守りは一般販売を目的としたものではありません。 日頃からお世話になっている関係者の皆様、スタッフ、そしてZEN Campsのギアを深く愛してくださっているお客様へ、感謝の気持ちを込めてお贈りする限定品です。 私たちがなぜ、このお守りを作ったのか。その背景と想いをお伝えさせてください。 自然に入るということは、祈りを忘れないということ  「火種守」の中には、実際に焚き火で生まれた「炭」が納められています。 火は、使えば力になります。暖を取り、食を満たし、夜の闇を照らしてくれるキャンプに欠かせない存在です。 しかし、ひとたび敬う気持ちを忘れれば、たちまち危険なものにもなります。 自然の中へ足を踏み入れ、火を扱うこと。それは常に自然への畏敬の念を持ち、祈りを忘れないということでもあります。 焚き火の記憶が宿る炭を身につけることでその初心を常に忘れず、安全にキャンプを楽しんで欲しいという願いを込めました。   奈良県「正福寺」での、本物の祈願   単なるノベルティとしてではなく、「本物のお守り」をお届けしたい。その想いから、奈良県香芝市にある浄土宗寺院「正福寺」にて、正式にご祈祷をしていただきました。   正福寺は、総本山知恩院の直末寺院として長い歴史を持つ由緒あるお寺です。厳かな空気の中、一つひとつの火種守に対して、野営安全が丁寧に祈願されました。   住職は「生きることは旅」と語ります。 キャンプでの野営安全、そして幸せで楽しいひと時をもたらしてくれる、そんな存在であってほしいと願っています。   野営に寄り添う、静かな佇まい    デザインは、漆黒を基調としたシンプルで凛とした仕上がりになっています。表面には「火種守」、裏面には「野営安全」の文字を刻みました。...

After more than a year of planning, the fire pit that does not harm nature, the "NT Fire Stand," has finally been completed. The "NT Fire Stand" is designed with the primary consideration of not damaging nature, featuring a firebed for campfires and a "heat shield and ash catcher" that cuts off radiant heat from the fire. Additionally, inspired by the protective clothing used by firefighters, it comes with a heat-reflective aluminum heat shield. These features make it a fire pit that has minimal impact on the ground's temperature. Furthermore, it has been meticulously designed without compromising on "compactness," "ease of assembly," "size," and "durability," resulting in the perfect fire pit that campers have been seeking.

We have started activities as a corporate partner with Leave No Trace Japan. Leave No Trace (LNT) refers to an environmental ethics program developed in the United States based on seven principles that teaches techniques for everyone to easily engage with nature while enjoying the outdoors responsibly. LNT activities have been gaining traction in Japan in recent years, and in 2021, LNT Japan was established. At ZEN Camps, our mission is to minimize the impact of campfires on the natural environment, and we aim to promote greater awareness of LNT Japan's activities.

A fire starter that allows even elementary school children to easily ignite a fire with overwhelming spark output. The rod uses ferrocerium, which produces sparks at 3,000℃, and a material focused on spark quantity called "Pure-X ™️ Blend." This is a one-of-a-kind fire starter that has been meticulously crafted in terms of material, shape, and hardness along with the striker. Experience the extraordinary sparks for yourself.

Many people misunderstand how to use a fire pit sheet, and if this continues, even with the use of a fire pit sheet, it will not be possible to maintain a clean ground. (There is also a risk that the fire pit sheet itself may get holes or burn.)

This article describes the correct way to have a campfire, so if you are going to have a campfire, please be sure to read it.

The ash carrier is a very compact yet sturdy and heat-resistant bag for embers. By placing unextinguished charcoal or firewood inside and sealing it, it helps to extinguish the fire and allows for safe carrying.

The fire pit sheet has now become an essential tool for camping. ZenCamps' fire pit sheet uses a special glass fiber material. With silicone processing, it has a smooth texture and durability, and due to its powerful water repellency, it can also be washed thoroughly!
