    Video: My Entire DIY Gear Selection

    Today I put together a video of my entire DIY gear setup. I realized when I went out last weekend that darn near every piece of gear that I used last year is gone and replaced with something I made myself. Other than my pack, a ULA Circuit, and my clothes, just about everything I bring is something I made or modified myself.

    Cool!



    Hope you enjoy it.

    P.S. Rumors of extraneous juggling and mandolin playing can be neither confirmed or denied at this time.

    Awesome video GregB. I wish I could sew like that. Do you plan to do any synthetic quilts?

    What sets a canoeing expedition apart is that it purifies you more rapidly and inescapably than any other travel. Travel a thousand miles by train and you are a brute; pedal five hundred on a bicycle and you remain basically a bourgeois; paddle a hundred in a canoe and you are already a child of nature.
