If you're like me, you don't leave home for a trip without a map of the area and a good compass. I can't help you find your way to getting a cheap or free compass, but there are a bunch of great resources online to get free USGS quads that you can print at home and take with you.

MYOG Projects for this Winter
So I've been thinking about a number of new projects to tackle this winter in the Make-Your-Own-Gear (MYOG) department. I'm not afraid to tinker, so here's what I'm thinking about working on over the winter, in no particular order. As I write these up, I'll link them here so it will be a quick reference to all my winter projects. Links to similar projects I used as a template or for inspiration are on the individual project pages. If you have any thoughts, ideas, or other projects I can turn to for inspiration, feel free to leave a comment.

My Limmer Boot Journey - Part 2 (First Impressions)
Recently I decided to invest in a pair of high-quality, full leather, old-school hiking boots from the Limmer Boot Company in New Hampshire. You can read all about the ordering process in Part 1. I then proceeded to do exactly what Mr. Limmer told me NOT to do, and immediately took them out for a 2-day, 20 mile backpacking trip to Dolly Sods.
