Anyone know if there will ever be any more "patch runs" coming up? All the patches seem to have been done before I found this forum. :(

I've seen these so far :

There were four in all (and a fifth that I think never got enough orders to be made). Here's a quick shot of the four.

They were done by Preacherman with Spark's approval. I imagine if someone wanted to go through the trouble of getting Spark's OK and doing all the work they could be made again. I haven't seen Preacherman around since then, I hope everything is OK with him.
 
no we got in trouble for doing that we didnt ask and ,spark busted use for haveing them made..

Nope. Spark gave his blessing and ordered a bunch. I haven't seen Peacherman around in a while. I know he was having some significant health issues.

Here is the original thread and a seperate one for a second batch:

If Edgar isn't up to doing another order, perhaps he can pass the torch to someone else. (Just make sure to secure Spark's approval FIRST!)

I would be willing to coordinate getting a new patch, if there is interest. I just emailed Spark to try to get his blessing for a new patch. I guess I'm old school, because I like the simple first patch (with the knife and axe crossed). It would be cool to do with glow thread or reflective thread.
 
I'm definitely in. I also really like the first design. I like the fourth patch as well. For the first patch maybe a new color scheme would be cool. Desert camo tones could be cool (I know alot of us have khaki bags and whatnot), I also think that a burgundy would look really good with the first patch design. I love the glow thread/reflective thread idea. Perhaps we could do it in several colors. Anyway I'm in for at least a couple of the patches if we can make this happen. I assume whichever company did the last run probably still has the design saved so we wouldn't have to pay set-up fees, it might make sense to try to find out where the old ones had been made.
 
One of the reasons it got so complicated last time is that there were five seperate patches. I would recommend getting everyone to settle on one design this time, if possible. (Just make sure its the one I like! :cool:)

The one change I would like to see wouldn't require any actual work. I'd like to see the green thread used go to Olive Drab instead of the current color. They would end up looking better on our gear and less like a "Starbucks" logo. :D

OD with some reflective thread would be awesome. Maybe we could even maybe get them with "hook" on the back so we could stick them right onto the "loop" patches on our gear.

If we want to change it a little more though, I think a kephart of a nessmuk would be better than the knife that's on the first design. More WSS like
 
I actually have the fifth patch, the 'roasting boyscout on a spit over an open fire', and it was the hardest one to have made I heard. I'm going to part with it for a tenner' mailed, pm me if you're interested in it!

Here is a shot of the five for you.

thank you for finding that thread i was late for work today trying to locate it well thats cool that spark will let us make them now. i was bummed when i got my 15 patchs and then read where he said we didnt have rites to use his trade mark cool..
 
I like where this is going. If Spark does give is blessing that would be super sweet. Thanks to bearthedog I have the knife and mountain patch and love it. I don't know if anybody has any of this artwork from the first run to have more made. I like the basic design of them, but would really love to see a very simple design done with a pine tree silhouette and a knife and or axe.
