Ideas
This is a list of stuff I want to try doing at some point. Some are hare brained, for sure. If you have comments or ideas, or are interested in collaborating, reach out!

Done
Camp with only a bivy sack (and maybe a tarp for cover)
I made the bivy sack and tried camping in it a while ago. It got wet in there really quickly, which sounds like a normal experience. So it's good as an emergency, but I'd rather cowboy camp with a tarp and a bug net.
Make a shirt from scratch
I made a shirt from the book "Zero Waste Patterns" and it was fun! While it ended up being the wrong shirt for me, I learned a lot about sewing and generally working with textiles and it showed me what I need to do next time.
