I know I could probably find this if I did a diligent search, but...
One of the mesh side pockets on my backpack has a small hole/snag/tear that I would like to repair. I have some mesh I can use for a patch but I don't know what to use to sew/glue it. Any suggestions?
"...With saddle and pack, by paddle and track, let's go to the land of beyond."
I would grab a small piece of Tenacious Tape from Mcnett. Just slap a small pice over the hole on both inside and out.

Lay it on the inside, stitch all the way around the hole back a little ways so you've got good attachment, then sew again at the outside edges of the patch so that there's no loose edges to catch on anything.
Patching it with tape will always look like you've had to patch it, sewing with matching color thread and a piece of mesh that matches should make it mostly invisible.
