I am a person who enjoys making their own gear and I am sure many of you others are as well! Let's see those homemade drop bags, drag bags, tables, utensil holders etc. DISCLAIMER: I am not a gear company looking to rip your designs etc, just a guy who has a sewing machine and likes sitting in front of it!

Here are a few items I have made lately. Don't have any pics of my drop bags or gear bags but will try and get some.

Hey hey, anyone have a cool designs for a hand-washing station? My SO needs clean hands for her contacts.
It's packed away right now, but I made a version of this one minus the bowl for a basin. Two buckets, a one way pump (I used a fish tank siphon bulb), some tubing, and a spout of your choice, and you've got a handwashing station. Get a piece of wood and something to make a simple bracket from if you want to secure the bulb to a base instead of letting it hang out in the dirt.

Lots of awesome ideas in this thread, most of my DIY stuff has already been beat out by better versions on here, but I thought I'd share my new Seadek cooler top. Needed something nonskid for the dog to chill on, and I own a laser engraver, so I added some of my home rivers to it.

You should market those!!!!!

I'd love one for my old yeti sherpa!
Working on pricing, Seadek is stupid expensive, but it's just 6mm closed cell adhesive foam, so I'm sure I can find it somewhere. Gotta tweak the process, too, I ran mine at too high of a resolution, which makes it take a long time to engrave (1.5hrs...). If I can find good wholesale prices, and get my settings dialed so they don't cost an arm and a leg, we're planning on offering them for sale.

That said, I make lots of fun laser stuff, if you have any ideas you need..
