Cottage Industry

Kevin:

I often reference a list on the ULA website (http://www.ula-equipment.com/). From their homepage click on their link to "Links" and you will find a pretty good list of resources as well as cottage manufacturers of gear.

Hope that helps!

Here is a previous post that has a lot of ultralight cottage industries:

I keep my own personal list using the del.icio.us technology. View it here:

There are some here that I listed in 11/2005

Thanks, Sam, there a couple missing from the list I have on my website. I'll have to add them!

I've found a good number of other sites that would kind of qualify but they're more focused on heavy weight stuff or pure alpine, et al so the list is by no means definitive. I'd love to see other peoples favorites as well.
