It's cheap, it's compact, and it might save your favorite shirt or pants. And it's in freakin' DPM. What's not to like?
At the end of the day, every item you wear is ultimately a wear item. As we've learned recently, supply chains are fragile like a delicate Roman vase, and such luxuries are not to be taken for granted. As such, simply replacing your gear might not always be an option.
Enter the humble, timeless sewing kit. It's an incredibly overlooked essential that's left out of everything from survivalist bugout bags to your mum's cabinet nowadays.
Maintaining your kit on a thread-by-thread basis is just as important as doing preventative maintenance on your car — a frayed or loose thread here and there can turn into a bigger problem if you shrug it off for too long.

got this cause i've been needing a sewing kit for a while, and just learnt to sew so this was pretty sweet for only $5. used it to repair a pair of my running shoes
Have it stashed in my dpm pack. Nice little kit, one regular needle and 1 big mama jamma. I like the three different types of thread include. A bit bummed that it didn't come with scissors but not a big deal. All in all, solid little purchase.
Handy little thing for work clothes!
Hopefully never had to use it
