Like so many of us, Nature Love founder Marc Gottwald has a passion for being outdoors. He also happens to hold a Masters Degree in Environmental Science. From camping to skiing to hiking, and learning to photograph wildlife and scenery, Marc is always looking to spend time appreciating and learning from nature. Over the years, his outdoor adventures have brought him serenity and provided a refuge when the rest of the world was too much. 

Of course, long excursions into the wilderness require careful planning and the right equipment. All too often, Marc would find himself in a moment of beauty, perfect for a photograph, only to discover a dead camera battery. And staying out in that moment meant many long hikes back in the dark, a potentially perilous situation. Overnight backpacking trips were often clouded with concerns over food prep and sanitation.

Marc realized that the longer he wanted to stay out in the wilderness, the more support he needed.
