Making Your Own Gear Feels Different

What started as a simple conversation years ago turned into a full-circle collaboration between PNWBUSHCRAFT and Nature Reliance. In this post, I share the story behind our Tripod Seat Maker Bundle, why I believe making your own gear changes how you experience the outdoors, and how traditional bushcraft skills and waxed canvas come together in one meaningful project.

Useful and Affordable Gear I have in my PNWBUSHCRAFT Cedar Bucket Bag
My gear goes all over the spectrum of costs.  As I have gotten older I appreciate buying something once and knowing I can depend on it but every once in awhile I come across something affordable if not downright cheap that I really enjoy.

L.T. Wright Knife Making Class - Blood, Sweat and Micarta

L.T. Wright Knife Making Class - Blood, Sweat and Micarta
I’m pretty sure I started by tracing out my knife on my 01 tool steel (that’s knife lingo) with the knife blank provided and then cutting it on the band saw of DEATH.  Okay, its not really called that but that’s what it felt like when I was staring at it waiting to take my turn.  I mean seriously, it’s a big machine with sharp teeth that was going to cut into my steel like it was butter.
