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.

Also I forgot to add that high or low weight is useless to me. Ive walked 20KM in boots that weighed like 5 or 7 pounds combined like it was nothing. These boots were from pajar so if you search them up you can probably tell that these boots were extra heavy cause they had to be msde of the heaviest msterials possible to last long harsh in winter. Only problem with pajar boots is that they are allergic to making footwear for people with wide ass feet like us. TO me weight is useless if I know that a type of footwear will protect my feet. Id wear lead if it fits all my criteria honestly lol
