I am looking at this Sewing kit from Zpacks
https://zpacks.com/products/sewing-repa ... 6918582308 to add to my repair kit
and I just cant find anything else locally online like it.
Does anyone know a local place with something similar in Aus?
Or doing a Zpacks order that I can piggy pack postage?
TIA

You can buy Kevlar thread (but it's not cheap) and then a mattress needle from any supermarket.
Given how well tape works on Cuben i'd carry thread to repair other stuff, dental floss was a go-too but there are probably more long-term/approriate options (given not a lot of cotton/canvas is still in use). A mattress needle fits well inside the mini floss containers..

Thanks Nuts
I hadn't considered a floss container

I usually carry some whipping twine (waxed thread, available in varied colours and thicknesses) and a similar needle. It's been used to mend everything from the pack to my trousers. Very long lasting stuff.
Easily available from chandlers, and fairly cheap.
