Sewing accessories are products that are useful not only at home but also in the field. They are useful for repairing clothing as well as equipment. Available at MILITARY.EU, for example, are sewing accessories sets which include: threads, needles, safety pins, a thimble, and folding scissors. All of these are enclosed in durable and compact cases that easily fit in a backpack. We recommend purchasing sewing accessories and tools, as they can be used to patch a torn jacket or ripped backpack on an expedition.
