Someone will probably have posted this site before but if not here it is. http://www.outdoortrailgear.com/ USA cottage industries involved with anything camping/bushwalking.
Found it when I was looking at quilts and I really like the cubin tarp sleeves on Hammock Gears site. http://www.hammockgear.com/hammock-gear-cuben-sleeve/
Also maybe the people on here with their own cottage industries might look at joining them. With our low Aussie dollar their gear would be very attractive.
Lots of stuff to look at.
Enjoy
