Stopped in my home town for a bit after I wrecked my car. Now that I'm back on foot I have to find myself something better than a rucksack with a couple of tied-on straps I salvaged from a pack rotting near a yard. Army surplus here wants $60 for an ALICE without a frame, $100 with frame. The...

I want punk and fucked up clothes, but I just can't bring myself to do it, myself. "Lazy" is the easiest thing to say, but honestly with all I'm going through in the area I'm currently in my energy is being sapped from having such hard times. I would just give stuff for someone to DIY punk/...

Hello everybody, Recently I posted a DIY backpack project (Linyera Backpack Project) and been traveling around with it successfully. Now im stayin for long in Oslo and decided to make a new version with what I have learned. Considering that I got now a sewing machine and loads of recycled...

So I got the idea to look up some vids on this subject. I didn't think it would be such a thing... but I was pleasantly surprised to find a number of youtube vids on it. Also, seems if your innovative it might not even cost a fortune. Even got a fellow from china hashing together something...

A couple years back, I saw a listing on craigslist for a ~40 acre riverfront remote parcel of land in Eagle, AK listed for around 40k and was reminded of that when I read this article. I just found this article and thought it was an interesting read - to think of how self-sufficient &...

Linyera Project is a series of Do It Yourself projects that I have started with the aim of replacing all my equipment. I make an effort to keep things simple, durable, lightweight and easy to replicate for anyone who would like something similar. The original post comes from a website where I...

Anybody have advice for how to make your own bike tools, particularly the fourth hand cable stretcher tool? That bastard is expensive ( cheapest I found was $32 ) and I'm kinda broke.

I randomly came across this video today, and I figured that it might be quite useful to those of us who are of the rubbertramping/homesteading inclination. :D

So i thought some people might find these little fuckers handy. I use them for my cooking stuff and rain gear. You can get all the materials for free and theyre kinda fun to make. You can use an old shoe lace instead of paracord and you can go to any thrift shop and cut the cordlocks off a...

Did a search to see if anyone else had anything in for green houses. I'm rather liking the pvc and plastic ones - these go from really cheap to a more sturdy frame (and it looks like someone could live in them). The one built from recycled storm windows is also very interesting. ________...

So as the title of the thread states, I wanna start a DIY collective space/workers co-op. You know, one that caters to the community and gives back. During the day it functions as a creative/art space where people can host events, workshops, classes, etc and at night, it's a music venue for up...

Hey guys, first foray into the boat punk subforum here. I see a lot of threads about finding work on a boat, but has anyone had any experience building their own raft or boat on the cheap before? I'm looking for a project to work on this winter before it warms up here in Richmond and I'm...

So the guitar I dumpstered can't play open chords without a capo, so I made one out of rubber bands and chopsticks. ;)

have you ever found yourself knocked the fuck up, wishing you had a way to get the spawn of satan out of your uterus without shelling out big bucks or having your vag invaded by someone with a questionable medical degree? do you ever wish you had something without 98 gross chemical ingredients...

If you ever looked into buying panniers, you have probably found out they are one of those items on the niche market of cycling touring equipment that can be quite expensive. Even used they can run around $100. There are a lot of cheap and easy diy's out there if you do a google search. My...

What happens when two down on their luck gutter punks get mistaken for a famous graffiti artist? When Lane and Igor think they find the perfect place to squat for the night, they also stumble upon the perfect scam. Down to their last beer, they fall asleep in an abandoned building that two...
