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
I've got a victorinox that I've had for almost 20 years. I got it in school, and it lasted several years with almost 50lbs of books in it (yes, really. It was a private school).
One strap gave way in the first year, but my mom restitched it and everything else has held since. Only other people I have is that it smells kinda funky because I can't figure out how to wash it.
My Vicorinox was a daily carry for ten years. I only gave it up because my wife needed a pack and I wanted a new feature. She's carried it for another couple years. The pack is made better than my Osprey hiking pack and the 5.11 that replaced it.
