| About ZPacks |
ZPacks is run by me, Joe Valesko. I have been backpacking and
building my own gear since the 90's. I started ZPacks.com in early
2005 after finishing my 2004 Appalachian Trail thru-hike.
For now, ZPacks is a one-man show. I take your orders, build your
gear, and ship it out. Many of the orders I do are custom projects,
and I am always looking for new ideas.
I am also employed full time as a software
engineer.
