DIY Special: 51 Skills, Projects, and Hacks to Improve Your Hunting and Fishing
Learn how to make fire in a can and 50 other essential skills, inspired projects, and clever hacks to improve your outdoor life
“Do it yourself.” Utter that phrase to your boss and you could end up with a pink slip. Say it to an outdoorsman and the lightbulb comes on.
We love to build, tweak, and tinker with stuff that will help us become better hunters and fishermen. We hone our skills for that split second when we get to deploy them, whether it’s making a shot or setting a hook.
This is how we do it all.
