Walkthrough
Follow the quest marker into Ascalon Foothills. Once you arrive, keep an eye out for various Hydras who use Meteor and Golems who can blind you with Eruption. Once you get to Artisan Rudger, talk to him to receive the package. Then, map travel back to Yak's Bend to collect your reward.

Initial dialogue

 * Tabor Woolridge
 * "Oh, bother! The new set of Mesmer attire that I want crafted requires leather, and I don't have any.  On the way here, I gave all the hide strips I had to Artisan Rudger that he might produce some leather for me.  Now he's nowhere to be found.  I'll keep searching the camp, but perhaps you could look for him back in the Ascalon Foothills.  He might need a reminder of his obligations!"

Reward dialogue

 * Artisan Rudger
 * "It's true, Tabor did give me some hide strips, but he's out of luck. I lost them escaping from the Dwarves up on Traveler's Vale. I've decided the mountains aren't for me, friend. No, I'll stay here safe in the shadow of Grenth, if you please. Believe it or not, I'm managing to survive all right up here. Every week or so there's some refugees who come by giving me a chance to ply my trade. Speaking of which, is there anything I can do for you? You might find the crafters up in Yak's Bend require a thing or two that I can make."
