| About ZPacks |
ZPacks was created in early 2005 by avid backpacker,
thru-hiker, and gear designer Joe Valesko. The business was started
shortly after Joe's 2004 Appalachian Trail thru-hike as a way to
bring some of his home-made but highly functional gear items to the
public.
All aspects of the store including gear production are
handled by Joe himself. Joe is also employed full time as a software
engineer.
