Thats Cool. I am of the 'build my own' type even though I may not have a lot of experiance in that area. I prefer to buy supplies myself so I have spares at home to refill anything that gets used. Plus I tend to pack differently, for example I get sick if I eat fish so I tend to not pack any fishing gear, plus I find that searching, assembling and packing to be half the fun. Also since I'm a small skinny guy I try to shrink my gear to better fit me. I would be interested in the technique, I found a cpouple web sites where people made belts out of cord before I found the Eagle Creek belt. I certainly don't want to take away from any potential sales by having you supply information, I know how much work it takes to make and sell a product, I have had ideas of my own but not the time or start up money to go anywhere with them.
