I may not have chosen the correct category, but I'm new to gathering and preparing my tool kit. I have the Pro Tech Toolkit and looking to grow my collection with various tools and items. My question is, I'm looking to have all my tools in one case to carry ex: my cords, chargers, ethernet cords, etc. Are there any suggestions on what I should get to have all these things? I appreciate any help. Thanks!

Sat, 30 Sep 2023 22:03:01 -0700

I managed to burn a hole (1 square cm) into my almost shiny new backpack (patagonia arbor grande). What is the best way to patch it up for good? Are there better or worse types of patches? The outer hull is made of polyester, if I‘m not mistaken.

Thank you for your help!
