Oregon Packworks
the only truly interchangeable modular pack system available today.
Oregon Packworks® originated in 2002, in a garage in Redmond, Oregon.
Owner and co-founder, Karl J. Findling is an Oregon native with over thirty-one years of hunting,  backpacking, and outdoor experience. He has been a paramedic, and a professional firefighter for over 30 years. Product design is where he finds his creative outlet, and it is found in the Oregon Pack Works product line.
Former owner Dan Bray, created a small manufacturing business twelve years ago to address the growing sport-climbing market with forward-thinking, innovative designs. His former company, Pioneer Designs, produced many lines of packs and various products for the aviation and rescue industries. Now, their company titled, A Stitch of Truth--a non-profit business--Dan has moved his family to the Philippines, to follow his longing to help those less fortunate.
Karl and Dan met a decade ago and pooled their talents to create a cutting-edge hunting pack system—something they’d both looked for in the marketplace and failed to find.
The idea of a truly interchangeable pack system began with their own fruitless search for that “Holy Grail” of a pack—one that could carry the necessary gear for an extended stay in the wilderness yet could become a smaller pack for day hunts, on-the-spot! Eventually, after exhausting the market and finding only inadequate products, they realized they’d have to create this pack themselves. Years of trial-and-error led to the creation of Oregon Pack Works signature product, the Greengate® Pack system, and Oregon Pack Works patent-pending “universal” One is All® suspension.
Oregon Pack Works began aggressively testing their innovative products in 2009, and formally launched the company in 2010. Though we are a relatively new company, our products rest on decades of experience, product testing and user testimonials.
