There is a list of Cottage Backpacking Gear Companies over on the Ultra-Light Hikers Forum. I made it a New Year's day project to check all the links and update some of the product listings. Since this is of general interest, I thought I would post the link here in the General Forum too. They are not exclusively for UL hikers. The good news is that all of these companies seem to be still running (at least their web sites are).
