This was a lot harder than I thought and I learned a whole lot during the whole build process. I made a lot of mistakes but it was a great learning experience and I am getting ready for build number 2 later next week.
I hope my jumping into it can help inspire others to stop procrastinating and attempt to make your own gear!

Unfortunately, I don’t think anyone is going on a trip anytime soon.
