About the Business:

Appalachian Gear Company produces the first ever lightweight Outdoor Lifestyle garments and gear made from 100% Alpaca Fiber. We make our Patent Pending All-Paca® products in North Carolina.

When we introduced All-Paca® Shirts, Fleece Hoodies, and Beanies in 2018, it represented completely new class of performance fabric crafted from 100% Alpaca Fiber without the use of synthetics. Over-use of synthetic fibers in garments has led to an emerging issue of micro-plastics in the environment, and we felt the time was right to highlight the benefits of Alpaca – Nature’s best performance fiber. Our Patent Pending lightweight All-Paca® Jersey & Fleece Fabrics are engineered by nature, designed for the trail, and manufactured with an environmentally-responsible process.

That’s why we use the most durable materials on the market and construct each bag one at a time. Not only is every bag customized to your needs, it also won’t spend 90 days on a boat crossing the Pacific. In fact, you can pick it up at our shop if you’d like. It doesn’t get easier than that.

About the Business:

Boatgirl embodies the ideas of two sisters, Leslie and Paige Temple, who spent much of their childhood on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Having grown up in Tarboro–a small, rural town in eastern NC–both were exposed to traditional norms regarding women. However, their parents ingrained in them at an early age that gender-specific roles were, for the most part, meaningless. Their mother taught them to play basketball, to be competitive, and to challenge traditional beliefs about women. Their father showed them how to change the oil in their cars, use a casting rod, clean fish, and scull a boat. More recently, on a family vacation, Leslie and Paige noticed how the bags they took on their adventures often tipped over, were difficult to manage around water, or just didn’t look good. And… the idea of Boatgirl was born. Our goal is to merge strong, adventurous women with a line of bags with exceptional design and style that can withstand harsh weather and water conditions. The result? A stand-out line of bags like no other. Boatgirl bags blend superior materials and top quality craftsmanship with brilliant designs and styles that make them revolutionary. We have diligently researched high-quality materials to find the perfect match for the needed functionality and look of our bags. We are invested in serious attention to detail so that your Boatgirl bag does just what you need it to do–perform well while looking great. Our design philosophy originated from a desire to provide the rugged construction needed for harsh water conditions, yet our products are versatile enough to accompany any woman on any adventure, wherever that may be.

About the Business:

Mark Epperson, a world-wise man who loves the mountains, founded Epperson Mountaineering in 1973 in Montana. Mark’s vision back then is the same as it is today; he couldn’t find any other backpacks that satisfied his demanding need for high-quality packs. He believed that by utilizing highest quality materials, artisan craftsmanship, and innovative functional designs he could make great backpacks which he could be proud of. Thus, he ambitiously embarked on an unending quest to create the perfect backpack. Gradually, as word spread about Mark Epperson’s backpacks, local outdoor enthusiasts sought the packs and consumer demand grew so that Mark eventually opened his own retail shop in Libby, Montana where he would make all the packs by hand one by one. As demand outstripped supply, Mark trained artisan pack makers to create Epperson Mountaineering backpacks for local people and consumers from around the world. Today, all Epperson Mountaineering products are still made in U.S.A. by artisan pack makers with the best components such as 1000 denier Cordura, YKK zippers, mil-spec tubular webbing or exclusive Indian/Oval pattern webbing, and reinforced seam-sealed inner compartments to guarantee long-term strength and durability. Honoring Mark’s wishes for everlasting quality, all Epperson Mountaineering products are continuously, individually scrutinized with careful attention to detail and persistent reflection of new ways to improve the ubiquitous backpack and other personal accessory products by Meg Company in California.
