Extreme DIY

[chickenwing]

I've seen some pretty extreme DIY project here on the forums. I am trying to go deeper into making my own gear. I started out with pretty easy DIY projects like stuff sacks and hammocks. Then I did the natural progression to underquilts, top quilts, and tarps.

While these projects are still very challenging, they just didn't meet the level of true DIY I was looking for.



Have you taken DIY to the EXTREME? Share some of your extreme DIY projects with me.

Does it sometimes feel like you've gone to extremes with your DIY addiction? I know it does with me.

Well this should be interesting! My kids wondered what I was laughing about while I watched this.

I want to challenge you to take it a step further: Genetic cloning! Make your own ducks!

That is the most well-behaved duck I have ever seen. All the one's I've known were mean, and enjoyed biting! That one looks like a long-faced tabby cat

If the common duck is anything like a Blue-Gold Macaw, you'll have enough feathers in mere days (friend of mine owned one of those giant/scary/noisy things). How is down harvested, anyway? Sheep-shears?

What type of duck has the best down? I want to try this.

I was waiting for zip ties and shears too.
