I love small kits. Any kind of kit, but especially for the outdoors. Over the years, I've acquired and even assembled all kind of kits ranging from first aid kits, fishing kits, and all types of survival kits. But, recently I had the opportunity to review another kind of kit and they've found a true fan in me.

Most of the time when gear gets “worn out”, it’s because one defective component becomes a critical failure, rendering the entire piece of gear useless. Repair seems too expensive or too much hassle—once you’ve torn your jacket or busted a zipper, it’s trash time, right?
Not anymore: Whether it’s a torn pack, cracked buckle, ripped tent mesh, or leaky sleeping pad, Gear Aid makes a wide variety of repair products to restore pretty much anything you can break.
