We sit down with Judy Gross, CEO of Light Heart Gear, to share with YOU her unforeseen journey and how she went from an Appalachian Trail Backpacker to Tent Manufacturer. Her personal story, now 10 years in the making, initiated with a little bit of trail envy, a tenacious attitude and OF COURSE an introduction to the color purple.

“invest in what you know”

were the words once spoken to her, IGNITING the spark.

In her own words:

“I know sewing and I know backpacking”

THE REST…is how a highly notable lightweight tent manufacturer made their start in the marketplace.
