I think there will always be DIY'ers, like in the ''old days'' they made everything; or when something, whatever it might be (tools,equipment,trip...) is not THE one for you, you just try to make your own.
I bought my bike used, made my panniers, do my maintenance and plan my trip by myself/with my riding buddies.
I do sometimes buy, 'cause I can't make it (like a stove, can make a fire though ;-))....
I don't mind that some folks want to pay for whatever they want...it's a personnal thing. Just like an adventure, personnal thing.
PS: Thank you Lois for ''kickstarting'' my wife into ''adventure'' motorcycling
