I've always been someone who isn't afraid to jump into a project even though I don't know what I'm doing. That's what I did when I started making my own gear for backpacking. I sat down at my wife's cheap sewing machine and started making a simple bag. Although it had crooked seams and weird dimensions, I'd caught the bug. I'd been looking for a passion project and a new skill to learn so I jumped in with both feet and never looked back.
