Dear Friends,

When we launched the revival of the Preston Mess Kit, I intentionally priced it at a Founder Level to reward those who believed in this project from the very beginning.

That founder pricing window is coming to a close.

Beginning Sunday, March 1st, the Preston Mess Kit will move to its standard production price of $200, and it will no longer include free shipping within the continental United States.

Why Founder Pricing Is Ending

The deeper we move into this process — 3D scanning, engineering refinement, 316L stainless upgrades, tooling, and die production, and shipment — the clearer the real cost of doing this right has become.

This isn’t a mass-produced novelty item.

It’s a historically inspired, precision-manufactured piece of kit being brought back to life the right way.

Founder pricing was my way of honoring early commitment and grassroots belief in this project. That chapter is closing.

What This Means for You

If you secure your kit before March 1st, you will:

• Lock in Founder pricing
• Receive free shipping within the continental U.S.
• Be part of the original supporters who made this revival possible

After March 1st, the new $200 pricing structure will be permanent.

If you’ve been watching and waiting, this is the moment.

Once Founder pricing ends, it will not return.

To those who have already stepped forward — thank you. You’re part of the foundation of this project, and that matters.

For those still considering — I’d be honored to have you join the original group that helped bring this piece of history back to life.

Everything is still on track to receive them by the end of May to ship out to you!

With gratitude,

P.S. Years from now, when these kits are in the field, I believe there will be a difference between those who were part of the original revival and those who came later. Founder pricing isn’t just about cost — it’s about being part of the beginning.  

I spoke to Isht Enterprises and after much detailed back and forth to make sure we had all the drawings for quotes and clear expectations with a 50% deposit sent………………

They should arrive by the end of May 2026! I’m so excited and I hope you are too!

In case you have not secured yours yet, click below before they’re gone!

I created a page on my website to help everyone stay in the loop and where pictures will be shared as needed. Please bookmark the page so you can easily retrieve it and if you haven’t done so already subscribe to my website so you get automatic updates as well. Thanks for joining the journey!

Dear Friend,

The response to this project has been incredible, and I’m thrilled to finally open up remaining Preston Mess Kits to you!

As of today, the remaining units are available on a first come, first served basis. Once these final kits are spoken for, this first production run will be closed.

 What’s Next for Buyers?

All confirmed buyers will receive an email update on Friday, August 8th, with details on the artifact scanning process, which kicks off the production phase. This is where the original kit will be digitized and refined for manufacturing—with modern touches like 316L stainless steel and updated threading at the spout.

 International Customers – Please Read

If you’re outside the continental U.S., here’s how shipping will work:

• When kits are ready to ship, I’ll contact you directly with a real-time shipping quote.
• You’ll also receive a $15 credit toward your international shipping total.
• If the final cost doesn’t work for you, no worries—I’ll issue a full refund.

Thanks again for your patience and interest in this historic project. This is truly a grassroots effort, and I’m honored to have you along for the ride.

Onward,

If you haven’t already done so and you would like to get your own Preston mess kit, today is the last day to sign up!

Banana is for scale…your kit will NOT come with a banana 😀

Hello Friend!

We’ve reached a critical milestone—thanks to strong early interest, we’re moving into Phase Two: the engineering and drafting phase, where the original artifact will be precisely scanned and prepared for production.

But before we proceed, we need your help one more time.

 Are you truly interested—and financially ready—to commit to purchasing a Preston Kit?
This short poll will help us gauge who’s ready to buy. It’s not a contract, but it’s a serious step toward making this project a reality.

 Please respond by Wednesday, July 16, 2025.
 Financial commitments would be due by August 1st if we move forward.

Those who commit will receive exclusive access to two patterns of the original canvas covers so you can make your own authentic carrying case—just like the originals.

Your response now will determine if the kit goes into production.

Thank you again for your passion and support. Let’s make this happen!

All the best,
