One of our favourite movies of 2011—Manborg, which we saw at Toronto After Dark—has become one of our favourite movies of 2012 with its week-long run here in Toronto at the Royal. A gloriously funny pastiche of ultra-cheap kung-fu, horror and sci-fi, Manborg is also a perfect example of the DIY ethic: it wears its rough, hand-made edges proudly, and its intense roughness makes its devotion to ‘80s channel-100-at-3-AM crap-cinema ephemera even funnier.

Another option, especially if you are going to be selling a series of the garments, is to follow a size chart.

When measuring, the tape measure should be neither too tight nor too loos...

So I took the liberty of making my own Johnny Knoxville mannequin.

This breathing device has been proven for several years to increase chances of survival if buried in an avalanche.

I already have a beacon strapped to my chest along with a pack, and if I'm patrolling, a radio ...

You never know when you may need to sharpen an axe... and who better to learn from than the Boy Scouts?

Make a knuckle guard out of leather, plywood, or an old inner tube. Place the file on the edge of the blade and push it into the bit. Lift the file as you draw back for each stroke.

I think it's fair to say that every maker yearns for a 3D printer. You can replace circuit board connectors, fix your glasses, create ski grips, and make whole machines out of printed plastic parts—even a 3D printer. But without a 3D printer on hand, you can always resort to Sugru.
