Nate Matos started KōROGI last year, offering historical activations that share the interplay of Japanese and American camping styles, as well as offering unique Japanese camping brands in the US.

I met Nate at Campfield’s SPW 2024 in Long Beach, Washington, not knowing he was the man behind much of the Snow Peak online communities. He was hosting a workshop on SP history and culture, detailing the story of the first products, the ups and downs, and the circumstances that led to the first SPW. I was completely fascinated. Nate is a true knowledge keeper, camping culture connoisseur, and he makes a wicked cup of pourover. So extremely glad I got so spend time with Nate and his partner Jenny at SPW.
