As the fall is upon us I will be getting my butt outside as much as possible. My life runs on a shoestring budget and as such my gear funds are always low.
I have been making gear for people for free for a while now and although I am not a cottage vendor I am not looking to compete with anyone for money. I actually enjoy making gear for free and plan on doing so more often in the future.
The problem is I have a few things on my need list I figured I would offer some barter for.
2. an kindle e-reader. I know this may not seam like a outdoor gear item, but I had a kindle keyboard 3g for a few years and I used it as my trail reading device. Its light, holds charge for over a month. Unfortunately my son dropped it and I am forced to either spend $87 on a replacement or only be able to read 2/3 of a screen.
3. Food. I know this is a pretty open subject, but I am down to only one breakfast from packit gourmet. I would like to gather some more meals. I prefer packit gourmet and some mountain house.
Obviously it will depend on what you need as to what I will make or trade for. I can make a great many things hammock related: tree straps, whoopies, ridgelines, adjustable ridgelines, rl organizers, snake skins, stuff sacks, continuous loops, dog bones, soft shackles, hammocks, bugnets, I am sure I can make ucr's if needed, I can splice dutchware into set ups, shockcord guy lines, UQP.
I have some materials to make this stuff ( the rl, rl organizers, stuff sacks), I may need to order stuff( hammocks, bugnets ) for others, but ask because I do have some materials for these. We can also have you order the materials and have them shipped to me directly, it depends on what I will be working on.
As the rules state please don't PM me with offers. Lets keep it all in the thread. Ask me as many questions as needed. I can make sure this is customized as much to your liking as possible. I may also be open to making the gear for double the materials. For example 18 yards of silnylon (and some other materials for tie outs) for 1 completed tarp. Or 16 yards of hyperd for one dl 11' hammock. you get the picture.
