I figured I was far too late when I saw the start date on the thread
As for fabric questions, what's the best/toughest type(s) to use for a bag? I'm thinking about scavenging old car seat-belts for straps and stuff, because they are sure to be strong
Depends on what the bags are to be used for and I'm thinking more of the external environment than what goes in them. Cordura type 1000D textured nylon is a good allrounder, but the seams leak. A 40z pu coated nylon at the other end of the weight scale is cheap and quite tough, but won't withstand the same amount of wear as the 1000D nylon. A PU nylon can be taped and made fully waterproof though, so it's a case of choosing which set of parameters you want.
