The Great Outdoors

July 6, 2008 |

Last year my boyfriend (pictured) told me he was going to take a class called “Wilderness Travel Course” offered through the Sierra Club. It would involve a bunch of survival skills and a whole lot of camping and hiking. To him, this sort of adventure is heaven while my idea of outdoor adventure involves sitting in a chair wearing high heel go-go boots (my only pair of sensible shoes), drinking a glass of champagne while someone grills something fabulous!

Then, on one of his outings, he met a guy who actually sewed his own backpack. Now there is a way to combine my love of making things with his great outdoors- Sew Your Own Outdoor Gear! Fun!

Thru Hiker has a whole lot of outdoor project ideas as well as great basic sewing tutorials.

Backpacking.net has a lot of ideas to make your own gear.

This site offers tips and techniques for sewing outdoor goods.

And here are some additional outdoor project ideas.
