Oh, I forgot to mention - good moose and there is a cute fox in your yard.

Great ideas and good pics. I like the towel idea - it would be easy to embroider on and make a small case/pack for it. I will start looking for yardage to make them.
Your map case idea is also interesting. I think I will research that a little too.

Do you have a source for microfiber towel yardage (like the material of Sea to Summit microfiber towels)? I've sometimes thought that a microfiber towel in a square shape, like a bandana, could be useful just as bandanas have many uses.

I am looking for good ideas. Each fall for the Border Route Challenge, I make stuff sacks as a participation "gift" for all the paddlers and fill them with small stuff (Band-Aids, Chapstick, sun lotion and the like) I also make some other small items - some years I have done insulated beer can covers or thwart straps. I need ideas of small useful things I can make and personalize. Oh, I also have the capability (special machine) to embroider on words or designs. Ideas?? And, if you have made any items - please add your pics!
