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.

MODERATORS
For me and my habits, these have been working for a few years. They cost me about 75 €. But as always, product portfolios change and most likely they're out of production. And maybe they'll break this year, making my recommendation premature - but I see no signs of breaking yet.
Why I picked them: they had a rubber lower part and a string-tightened but closed upper part made of fabric (no "tongue" with open sides, no zipper, zippers can break down). My access way gets flooded often, and most of the flooding occurs during cold weather. So I often walk in snow that has ice and water underneath, and break it when walking. I could use rubber boots, but then it would be cold.
