I am curious to know how much money you save, on average, building your own gear.
For instance an average 10x8 tarp may cost $X but you do it for cost $J or a regular 30 degree TQ (or UQ) costs $W but you do it for $T.
Also, when you calculate your cost for doing a DYI project do you calculate an hourly production cost for your time?
We get into this debate all the time at work but it normally relates to home improvement and it got me thinking about Hammock and Backpacking gear.
