This episode is about the gear that you make for everywhere but the backcountry. We're talking about every day carry and travel gear. Hear about the items that we recommend you make to make your life a little easier on the go. 

It's not far fetched to say that we talk most about gear for outdoor pursuits. However, that's only part of our purpose. MYOG doesn't have to be for UL nerds and hammock hangers. MYOG can be for anyone including someone who wants to optimize their work bag or make new packing cubes.

Every so often we like to do a deep dive on a particular topic. In the past, we've meandered down the rabbit holes of tapes that you may see in the MYOG world as well as discussed seams that are crucial for any DIYer.

Working with zippers is a must for any MYOGer. However, different projects will require different zippers. And different zippers will require different techniques. In this installment of our growing "Deep Dive" series, we'll talk about all things zippers.

You'll leave this episode with a new technique to try, a new understanding of zippers, or at least just some inspiration to try and make something new.

In this episode, we transport to Vermont, home of John Campbell and his one-man company,  Alpine Luddites. We wanted to get John on the show because he is an avant-garde maker who has fiercely forged his own path. From his old corporate days to now teaching sewing at a local college and running a farm, John is defiantly himself in the most beautiful and infectious way.
