Introductions Pete Ziolkowski Not exactly a “crafty” person Scoutmaster Troop 284 Endwell 2X Den leader Philmont 2004 and hopefully 2008 Not exactly a “crafty” person

Why make your own? Lots of reasons not to Primal urge Sticker shock Huge number of suppliers of camping equipment Primal urge Who hasn’t? Boy Scout field book circa 1972 Challenge Sticker shock Home made does not necessarily mean cheaper Lighter Tailor to your own needs and physical dimensions Fun

Form of the class Would like to be free flowing Collect ideas for projects that worked and others that didn’t. Talk about the plusses and minuses of different projects Talk about field tests Talk about techniques and methods Lessons learned

Troop gear projects Patrol boxes flag stands chefs kits tent bags Hot water heaters (has anyone ever seen one?) Cooking

Boy type projects Projects that can be made as part of a meeting Pop can stoves LED flash lights
