If this has been already covered, my apologies, i did a quick search and didn’t really come up with anything.
I’ve decided that I want to start carrying a small emergency sewing kit, for EDC bag, my GHB, and my BOB, but I’ve been dissatisfied with my google searches, as the products I’m viewing are either just plain crap, to overboard, or not worth the $$$
So now I’m considering making a simple kit for real quick repairs (I’m not looking to win a fashion show award), which is easy enough, but I thought I’d reach out and get some ideas for things I might be overlooking.
I try to adhere to the light/ultralight method of Backpacing, but not hardcore, so redundancy on certain items isn’t really justifiable in my book.Things like scissors, multicolor threads, heavy carrying case are out, as I either have it for something else or don’t need it.
What I know I need is:
- one or two colors of thread perhaps 2 or 3 meters long(black/white, black/green, it isn’t important)
- Some safety pins
- A few different size needles (thimbles are out, because even the largest ones i’ve been able to find won’t stay on the tip of my finger, it keeps popping off. (LOL)
- Maybe a couple of buttons
- Compact sturdy carrying case
And i guess thats about it, any suggestions? I’d really like to hear ideas about small cases, and I’ve been thinking about possibly using the small size altoid mints tin (the kind for the mini mints), but I’m not sure if it would fit needles inside it(I don’t have one handy).
