My two main mantras for this game are: "Do yer own thang" and "Do it yerself". I've made many ml and pc related items over the years. Not always beautiful but always functional and enjoyable to use because I knew I made them myself. However, at times I have 'cheated'. At rendezvous burlap feed sacks have been very useful in keeping my camp looking pc. Since we can't to out and kill a fresh buff for meat everyday I cover the ugly red ice chest holding my meat with feed sacks. Same for plastic 5 gal. water jugs. Never a complaint from the pc nazis.
