A continuing accumulation of

About My Web Pages:
The pages were designed to
be viewed primarily on a desktop or

cell phones but might cause problems on these devices when downloading and/or displaying
some of the larger
clickable file links due to limited device memory
and/or speed
capabilities.

About
HINE / SNOWBRIDGE, Inc.
In 1972 my
brother Greg and I founded and built a company in
Boulder, Colorado which till late 1986 designed,
manufactured, and nationally distributed high quality
sewn packs. Our Hine/Snowbridge backpacks were
used to climb the highest mountains in the world.
Kirtland/Tourpak bicycle packs literally were pedaled
around the world and in
the early 1980’s had a 40% market share of all bicycle
packs on the road in the U.S. during the bicycle touring
boom. Our Atan camera packs became a pack of
choice for National Geographic and White House
professional photographers and were chosen by NASA for
use on the Space Shuttle early in its program.
We
periodically get inquiries from collectors of vintage
outdoor gear who want to identify the model name and/or
to date a specific product and also from historians
researching the outdoor recreation industry as it grew
rapidly during this period fueled by the post WWII "baby
boom" generation. To help accommodate those who
may be interested I've written a company history and
digitized our product catalogs.

About my “15 minutes of
fame" as a rock musician.
I’m a 1960’s “has been”
self-taught Rock & Roll lead guitarist who had
my proverbial “15
minutes of fame" in 1967 when my band had a record
on the charts in
Colorado and neighboring states.
