[...] What I keep in all my hats that have pockets in them is the same: in one ziploc bag, an emergency $20 bill (using this is to be avoided as much as possible). In another ziploc bag, I keep four AquaMira water purifying tabs and a repair kit. [...]

Thanks for the tip. I’ve heard about other people sewing with fishing line, but haven’t given it a shot myself. It certainly would be cheap and strong, but my concern would be degradation over time due to UV rays. Any idea if that’s a factor? It seems like the plastic would break down sooner than cotton/nylon/kevlar/dental floss. I’ll have to try it out and see!

Interesting! If I might add one correction or change, I would take the sewing kit a bit further and replacee the thread with a length of braided fishing line – the 30# stuff is the size of 8# mono! You can sew up just about anything with it from a rip in the shelter to your pants to stitching ol’ Bob back together plus use it for fishing line if needed. Wonderful stuff and mostly thrown out at line change.
I also save it and use to re-stich any sheaths or covers that originally had cotton thread.
Thanks for the info on the site and
Best regards,
