There’s a framing and crystal shop in Presque Isle with a neat collection of old maps, usually of spots along the coast.

There are a bunch of consignment shops that will rent you a table and take a percentage. It’s not bad, but you need to price yourself correctly or you lose money quick. After that, I’ll hit the big festivals or just a roadside stand.

I make ultra plush ultralight bags. There’s a custom fit, frame and padding, 45-60L, external pockets and I still come under 1.5lbs. I can make them down to about 3/4lb, but that’s not where I shine.

I sell the harnesses through Etsy. The bags and plate carriers are word of mouth through Twitter and insta. There’s a large market for the specialty bags.

Edit: I also make covers for equipment. Tractors, RVs, etc. Theres a solid market for it.

You do what you gotta do.

I sew expensive backpacks for fancy people and harnesses for dildos. Sorta nice tbh.
