TrekPac became an idea from 10 years of being mentored and supporting Nathan Fosters teachings, Terminal Ballistic Research. Spending time with a great hunting guide Zane, and my pending retirement let me tell you a little more of the story. I have been trying for the last half dozen years to acquire one more MatchGrade Hobby Modelling Compound from Nathan as all my rifles are bedded in his produc
ts, but unfortunately every time we spoke in relation to ordering the answer has always been I am not shipping it to Australia anymore. Fast forward to 2021 and I decided to venture on a guided hunt for a week into the Alpine chasing the elusive Sambar for meat and maybe a trophy, while on this incredible trip I had a thought about maybe setting up an online store selling the MatchGrade Hobby Modelling Compound so us here in Australia could purchase. So on my return I reached out to Nathan and said there must be a way I can get hold of the kits, Nathan said the only way is to purchase a commercial quantity that would be shipped on a pallet but if you were to do this, I would think you have to add a few other items on the website as well, so I hung the phone up and started thinking. While on my adventure I saw Zane had a leather belt with different leather and canvas components that were attached all handmade, so I asked him where he got them from, he advised that he handmakes the products they look fantastic and so I decide to get him to make me a set. Well so the idea was to see if Zane would be interested in making them for me and I would sell them on my website he agreed so I put in an initial order. This is how I got my last MatchGrade kit, expensive way of going about it but the product is so good, and the leather goods are so good it was a no brainer. I need to keep myself a little busy in retirement.
