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
Unfortunately I'd say these fall in the consumables category. Realistically the failure mode of a hiking pole is bending or cracking (not as easy as swapping a part) and the failure mode of micro spikes is the flexible part breaking or the spikes wearing down. I'm tuning in to see if anyone disagrees though :)
Yeah that is about what I thought. But you know I'm just one guy. Maybe someone knows of a brand that is more repairable than others. Thanks for chiming in.
