A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

When working the boats in Alaska, arguably one of the wettest environments around, every stateroom had one. Fishermen swear by them.
Great suggestion!
I'll have to look at those. Might be what I need.
Happened to see boot driers at the grocery store for 15 bucks. Bought them and now i'd say they're a must. Wore my boots and put them on for 2 hours.... they don't smell anymore. They smelled when I out them on. My boots will now live on these when they're not on my feet.
Seriously. I sought out boots I thought would last a long time and i've been seriously bummed because I can't imagine keeping them when I can't get them to stop smelling. I figured boot driers would only work preventatively, but they zapped the smell right away. If you intend to keep your boots for a long time, get some boot driers.
