The April 2015 issue of Outdoor Life will be our second-annual "How To" issue. The theme this time around is "how to save money," and we want you to contribute your best cash-saving tips for enjoying the outdoors.

These could be DIY projects for building something rather than buying it; creative ways of repurposing household items to meet an unintended need; or simply tips on finding the best deals on gear.

Please email your ideas, along with any photos and sketches, to howto@outdoorlife.com (and type "How To" in the subject line) by January 5. We'll run a selection of the best ones in the April issue.
