Making Your Own Hunting Gear

Great article - everyone should remember, in the old days junior high kids learned to sew - boys and girls. It’s not rocket science. In 7th grade my sewing project was a duffel bag. 8th grade was a denim work shirt. In high school I made better duffel bags and gaiters. As a seasonal Forest Service firefighter I had access to an industrial sewing machine and rolls of nylon - we made all sorts of gear.

Just as important as making new things, is modifying existing gear to work better or for a better fit.

Everyone should learn the basics.
