In 1971 Steve Barker founded a hiking equipment shop called Mountain People in Idyllwild, CA. Three years later with the retail business suffering the effects of the oil embargo, Steve and his wife Nona moved to Solana beach. There they built backpacks to their own design with organizer panels, extra carry handles, detachable day packs, and eventually wheels to roll them like luggage. Within 10 years they created a whole new product category called “adventure travel”.
