True North Backpacks began as a simple blog, a passion project by Zach, an avid traveler who wanted to share hidden travel gems and useful tips with fellow explorers. His personal experiences on the road—from navigating unfamiliar cities to finding the best ways to pack light—inspired him to create a platform where travelers could learn, connect, and grow. What started as an online space for storytelling quickly gained traction, with readers eager to know more about efficient travel strategies and essential gear.
As Zach engaged more with his audience, he realized a common struggle: finding reliable, travel-friendly backpacks that met the diverse needs of modern adventurers. Many travelers either overpacked, struggled with disorganized luggage, or simply couldn’t find a bag that was both practical and stylish. Seeing an opportunity to bridge this gap, Zach took a leap and transformed True North from just a travel blog into a brand dedicated to solving these problems.
Today, True North Backpacks is more than just a brand—it’s a community of like-minded travelers who believe in the power of exploration. By designing backpacks and travel accessories that prioritize functionality, durability, and ease, True North empowers people to travel smarter, lighter, and with more confidence. What once started as personal reflections on travel has now grown into a trusted source for high-quality gear and valuable travel insights.
