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.

Lots of people mention Osprey. They're not so good if you have long hair. I recommend Gregory.
I own a big Exos 58L and i dont have any issues with my long hair. Would love for you to elaborate, gotta say im curious!
Maybe its only an issue on their taller 60L or 70L packs
In what way isnt it good with long hair? I have no issues with my ospray pack and long hair
Ventilation
Can you elaborate? This is such an oddly specific thing but I’m new to long hair so I’m probably missing something fairly obvious.
Your hair hits the top of the pack frame and it blocks ventilation. Very annoying. But my hair is exceptionally long
I prefer fatter packs that aren't as tall so my hair can go on top of the pack, not between the pack and my back
