Making your own gear (MYOG)

For me, MYOG is a big part of getting what I want with as little compromise as possible. I'd never make something if I can buy something that's better, but for specialist gear and equipment you're really stuck with making it yourself. It's also an incredibly rewarding thing to do - you inevitably learn something when you make anything.

Here are some articles on bushwalking and bikepacking/bike touring stuff that I've made:

• frame bag;
• micro tank bag;
• saddle bag/pack;
• ultralight wind pants;
• lightweight alcohol stove + cooking system;
• usb charger/power adapter.
