Canvas Kit Pouches and a Question for DIY'ers

hemlockmountai...
New kit pouches available, perfect for fire kits, first aid kits, snack kits... you name it. Check them out.
Also, a quick question for all the DIY'ers out there. Do you need another option for buying components? If so, which ones? I can start offering components and maybe more down the line.

Like the pouch! I'm also a new DIYer and I'm often a little disappointed at the variety of components on offer. I find myself having to go to Amazon sometimes to get exactly what I want. For example, I'm putting together a hammock right now and sourcing orange zipper tape and grosgrain is just not possible from RBTR or Dutchware, but it's easy enough to find on Amazon though I wish the price were better. I may be a bit of an odd duck in my reasoning though. I always keep my quilts and some dry clothes in my hammock and then it all goes in one big stuff sack rather than three or four small ones. Occasionally I want to fetch a hat or something out of the hammock while it still in my pack. A contrasting color zipper tape makes it much easier to find my way in. I also think the little splash of contrasting color looks nice without being an eye sore. Bottom line, I think it depends on the components you plan on offering.

That's the hardest part, figuring out what to offer. We all know what is available and that's generally what people use, it's harder to know what people might want to use. Colored zipper tape and grossgrain are easy enough to get, but like you are probably fining out the smaller the quantity you need the larger the cost or it's precut to a length that won't work. It is an interesting option, and it could be useful in my own gear. Awesome feed back, thank you.
