Huka Newsletter – November 2022

November 2022 – Huka Newsletter, mountain and adventure.

We are super excited about this news!

Thinking and designing our stickers was an experience we loved. Each one has something special and connects us with the love we feel for nature and adventure. Today we share with you, as a preview, this bike full of colors and desire to go out and pedal. We know: you loved it and want to know the whole family of Huka stickers. But be patient, just like in the mountains!

Very soon they will be part of our outings and you will be able to have your favorite to stick in your thermos.

At Huka we know that life isn’t all about being outdoors all the time and that sometimes there’s no better plan than ending the day with a good movie and a pint of ice cream. For those nights to stay at home and enjoy the comfort of the couch, we have a Netflix documentary to recommend that will leave you breathless until the end. And the metaphor of “running out of air” is perfect, because it is “The 14 eight-thousanders”, the story of the Nepalese mountaineer Nimsdai Purja, who one fine day woke up and said “I want to reach the top of the 14 summits of 8000 meters in the world, in 7 months”. That is, all very calm, as you will see. This story seems incredible, but it is real! What happens after that, you have to see it with your own eyes, because we don’t want to spoil a single minute of it. And the best thing is that, in addition to a tremendous adrenaline rush, this movie gives you beautiful images of the highest mountains in the world. Watch it, and we’ll talk about it later when we see each other on an outing!

Have you ever heard of low-impact practices? Perhaps it is a name that may sound strange. Someone might confuse it with a sporting activity where there is no jumping or running, for example, and it has nothing to do with that. The “low impact practices” or “minimal impact” in outdoor recreational activities are the principles that we have to respect in order to “leave no trace” in our passage through nature. It is very important to know these rules and learn them, so that all the activities we do do do not damage or alter the balance of the ecosystem. Sometimes we think we have a clear idea about this, but there are many details to take into account and there is always something more to learn. Therefore, we share with you a very complete note that we uploaded to our blog, full of info and tips to “put in the backpack” and take to all your outings.
