The friend on another site who makes those paracord dog collars (like our guy on here does) has one that includes 15' of fishing line and a hook in the collar. A lot of fishing line in with the sewing kit would be easy. I'd just get the thread used to sew jeans together and it would be plenty strong enough for anything you'd have to sew anyway.
You can look around for some good deals on ebay and things like that. I ahve a couple sleeping bags but went onto ebay and bought a brandnew lightweight military bag for 20 bucks plus shipping. I got that one just to keep in the tool box of my truck.
