DIY can save your bacon, mmmmm bacon. But, sometimes it can be just as expensive as getting extremely good gear from our cottage vendors, if you don't know what your doing.
Going to our vendors, you have a complete item and remember, they are also hikers/hammockers, and mostly forum members here as well, and you know your gear will be top notch, made by folks that actually use their products.
As far as my DIY gear, my thread injector I received for Christmas this past year is more expensive than all that DIY added up.
Pick your battles as far as the price/experience you can afford to make and what you can purchase. Upgrade when needed/if needed.
Good luck and have fun.
