Preston Mess Kits Now Available – First Come, First Served!

/ Honorable Outfitters / 4 Comments

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.

Don’t wait—these are moving fast and once they’re gone, they’re gone!

🛠️ 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,
Shawn Dyer

Preston Mess Kit Update! You Can Still Sign Up To Get One!

/ Honorable Outfitters / 2 Comments

My friends, we are off to the races! There are some problems people have shared with me that I want to help with en masse

  • “I signed up but never received an email”
    • The most likely cause is that your Spam folder took it OR completely rejected it. On a daily basis I have been getting Mailer Daemon returns. This is caused by patron’s email system rejecting it OR an incorrect email was put into the form (misspelling is often the case)
  • “I missed the Wednesday due date to sign up for one, can I still get on the list?”
    • First off, I am so happy you have the same passion for this project as me and 500 other people! There is a waitlist that you can sign up on. I need to order the kits in quantities of 500. If 1,000 or more people want in on the project then the more the merrier! That being said, the 500 people who signed up on the list must get first shot and they have until August 1st to pay for their kit(s). Once August 1st hits I will notify those on the waitlist and it will be “first come first served” to get one of the first 500 kits. If we get 500 other eager outdoor enthusiasts on the waitlist that commit to buying then I will gladly order 1,000 sets to meet the demand. But in order to do that YOU need to commit to buying one and getting on the list and SHARE with other like minded outdoor adventurers by clicking this link!
  • “Payment system is not accepting my Email”
    • This has been extremely rare but is easily corrected. Instead of signing into PayPal to pay for it just use the credit card button below the PayPal options
  • “Can I buy more than one?”
    • Sure! I put the limit at 2 because I don’t want someone to buy up tons of them for the purpose of reselling them. If you need more than 2 please send me an email at mrdyersmusings@honorableoutfitters.com and I will send you an invoice

Okay so are you excited? I am and if you didn’t know there is a community of outdoor adventurers just like you in the Campcrafters Guild! We have monthly challenges and virtual get-togethers and share what’s going on in our outdoor lives! Historic and modern outdoor adventurers are welcome. Come join us around our campfire, we can’t wait to chat with you and see you!

Come on In!

We’re Ready! Are You In? Help Us Bring the Preston Kit Back to Life!

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.

👉 Click here to take the quick poll

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

All the best,
Shawn G. Dyer
