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.

About the Business:

A brand of American Outdoor Products, Backpacker’s Pantry is one of the world’s foremost producers of freeze-dried meals. Our facility is in the amazing town of Boulder Colorado. We have been here for over 25 years and still love it as much as the day we moved here from Northern California. We have built our own facility on land we own. We have made it as tight as we can, meaning R20 walls and a R40 ceiling to keep the building warm in the winter and cooler in the summer. We have installed in floor radiant heat because it uses so much less energy to heat our facility. We have also installed air conditioning systems that use outside air if it is cooler than the air temperature we would like for our indoor environment. We hope to add a large solar array when we can afford to. Currently we use 100% wind power to power the facility. We also recycle and compost at our facility and hope to make our packaging recyclable and/or compostable when it is available in the market. We do have a recycling program for our pouches through Terracycle.

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.

The simple sandal is perhaps one of the oldest human inventions. Human beings have learned that protecting the bottom of our feet can give us a huge advantage in many environments. After the famed 2006 Copper Canyon Ultra-Marathon, Ted began tinkering and experimenting with sandal designs. In 2007 he went back to the Copper Canyon Ultra and ran the race in a pair of huarache sandals that he himself had made. He was hooked, and knew he was onto something that he really wanted to share with the world. In late 2010… LUNA grew enough to move production into a small space on Capitol Hill in Seattle where they got started on the adventure of developing, learning, struggling, and growing the business of LUNA Sandals. Now located in a beautiful space just 3 blocks north of the Space Needle, in Seattle with 19 full time employees, LUNA’s team, products, and processes have grown and evolved immensely. Ted and Liv are running the show along with an amazingly talented team of people!
