Want to hiking and/or camping, but don’t know where to start? Trust me, that’s the way we felt when we began too. There are so many products out there and if you don’t have much experience, it’s hard to know what you REALLY need. It’s the goal for any hiker to have the lightest backpack, so what does one take? If you follow us anywhere online or our social media platforms, you know that since 2017, our family have become avid hikers, and we’ve come a long way with our knowledge about how to do it efficiently and as lightly. As our love for the outdoors grew, so did our desire to shoot for the outdoor industry as well. So, it only made sense for our passion of photography and our outdoor adventure selves to marry each other. That dream started coming true a couple of years ago and last year in 2024, we traveled more than ever to shoot for companies that we personally love all over the world!
So, now that you have our story of how we came to this point in a nutshell, let me now share with you a solution that you’ve been looking for! If you want to get out there, but you have a busy life and just don’t have the time to do all the research, Near Zero has solved all your problems. (Trust me, they didn’t ask us to write a blog or do any posts. We just love it that much!) They came up with a brilliant concept where you can simply purchase their backpack that has it ALL in there. As we were shooting for them, we were so impressed by the little details that you may not have thought of. Of course the big things like their sleeping bags is obvious, but even little things like a face/body wash and the stove you need because hey, you’re going to be hungry after that hike! When you open their backpacks, it even has labels in the compartments, so it did all the organizing for you too! So, when you’re done, simply put it back in that compartment and boom! You’re done! So easy to pack and repack!
Take a look at their website yourself and give them a follow on their instagram too, and there’s a list of exactly what are in these backpacks that you can buy and go!
This is our job, but we also love sharing what we know and have experienced and to help others go outside more and more. We believe that staying active especially as we get older is so important, so we hope that the positive change we try to implement in our family gives you motivation to be more adventurous with your family as well and see you outside!
With much love,
Craig + Unchong
