What are some good wilderness items i could sell

What if you turn the table and view the old ladies as your labor source rather than your customers?

What if you commission the old ladies to knit hearty woolen outdoor gear for all of your future customers on the internet forums?

These ladies have time on their hands, and they have talent.

I'd be willing to drop a hundred on a good home made quilt, kind of like those made on happy gilmore :D
 
Why not go see if you can collect wood scraps from lumber yards, high school wood shops or maybe find clean used pallets at warehouses they are willing to give away? maybe design a bird house using japanese joinery that does not require nails? Remember to look up the proper size hole for the types of birds you want to attract, and the size of the house will matter as well.
 
Mite want to rethink the (old Lady) angle. Those (old Lady's) have sons and daughters and family members who they buy gifts for. When I broke my leg My mom bought me a hickory walking stick for when I got back on the trail.:D
 
You can carve a hair roller holder.....

Seriously, there's probably a market for walking sticks with older people especially.
 
Let me tell you something about those "Old ladies"

I attended a edible wild plant seminar at our local library given by the local Herb society. I was the ONLY man in the place and the only one there under 60.

But those ladies knew EVERY herb, berry, plant and leaf you could eat and had recipes for all of them.

So, if I were you,I would collect THEIR knowledge, compile a herb or edible plant guide, put it in a wood cover or box and offer it for sale back to them!
 
Most of my suggestions have been covered already. I would add carved napkin rings. Older women (including my late mother) have given me a bunch of these. Can't say I've used them much but they are pretty nice looking.
