Outdoor Industry's Disaster Relief Alliance
About "Outdoor GIENTAI"
Isamu Tatsuno, Montbell founder and CEO, formed Outdoor Gientai as a disaster relief response to the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake that occurred in the southern part of Hyogo Prefecture on January 17, 1995. Tatsuno called on the outdoor industry to come together and help with relief efforts. The response was immediate, with donations and volunteers coming from all over Japan and abroad. Outdoor Gientai also proved as a concept that outdoor knowledge and experiences are applicable in times of disaster. Over the years Outdoor Gientai has continued to provide disaster relief in Japan and internationally, doing what we are able to with the resources we have available.

Marshall Fire in Boulder County, Colorado, USA, 2022
"Outdoor GIENTAI" to help those affected by Marshall Fire in Boulder County, Colorado, USA.
On January 7th and 8th, 2022, Outdoor Gientai provided free donations of outdoor clothing and gear to members of the Superior and Louisville communities that were displaced by the Marshall Fire. Members of the public were able to come and pick out anything from Outdoor Gientai's disaster relief stockpile. Left over items were planned to be donated to Boulder County, but Outdoor Gientai was able to deliver everything we had in our disaster relief stockpile to members of the community.
Our heartfelt thanks to everyone that helped spread the word about this two day event!
