ROBB MOFFETT's Ramblings ,Inventions & DIY Adventures
This site is a collection of personal pages focused mostly on how to have fun making or doing things on your own for little or no money plus a few things I make by hand and sell to help pay the bills. The theme of this site is inspired by a wonderful and extremely odd named old book, Dolly Freed's POSSUM LIVING, and people like Euell Gibbons, Robb White and Henri Mignet and others that appealed to me by their contrary actions and zest for life. As you all know,life is very short, but it can also be wide. If your life seems narrow and not much fun lately then here are, I hope, some low cost ways you can get up off the floor and go out and mess around a bit while you still can. To help put some food on my table I also offer a few self-made and humble items and plans, how to do it books, and simple DVDs on topics I am interested in, usually of an outdoor and homemade or frugal nature with a South Florida slant.

My Favorite Links and mighty fine people are at:
Dolly Freed's old "Possum Living" book can be downloaded from the Homesteading Library Catalog at the Soil and health.org- a very nice place indeed Microcruising.com An extraordinary small boat cruising site done by a couple ( Steve & Mindy Bolduc) that regularly cruise to the Bahamas in a small inexpensive sailboat is:
Duckworks, the best small boat messing about site on the web. Flying Flea A good plce to start learning about the Flying Flea airplane designs that will not stall or spin
Backwoods Home- a great self reliance magazine- like Mother Earth News but funkier
Videouniversity For some of the best video advise on the web just ask the wedding videographers a question on Videouniversity, they are almost always helpful and funny unless you are a wedding photographer (just kidding)

Dave Tackett makes and sells stuff to help pay the bills just like me. He specializes in home made fishing items , PFD Fishing cartoon books and has some of the most fun low cost fishing videos on the web. I have been fishing forever and loved his quick fish cleaning dvd. Get Rich Slowly I have consistently found more good money saving ideas on this site than any other. http://getrichslowly.org/blog/
ECOGEEK If you are an optimist and think technology will find a way for us to coexist with our environment this is the place to find the latest news on what breaking technology is going to help change the world. I found some geothermal info here I saw no where else. Good alternative/future site.
Fellow Possums on the web I have no connection to, just people that seem to share similar DIY ideas and were partly inspited by the old dolly Freed book;

NEMO 200 NEW low cost Underwater Video Camera Housin ![]() photo by Ken Turner
'NEMO 200' A RELIABLE , LOW COST, VIDEO CAMERA HOUSING Dear eBay buyer, The NEMO 200 is my third underwater video camera housing design. and is the best one I have made so far. This new design is low cost, low maintenance, very durable, and gets the job done. It is large enough to enable many different video cameras to fit inside. With this housing and nearly any old camcorder you have lying around you can now record all of your dive and boating adventures and share them forever with your family and friends. Here are some reasons I am excited about this housing. This low cost housing will allow you to use nearly any small to medium size camcorder to capture the fun and excitement of your next dive trip on video. Just about everyone has an old camcorder laying around the house or gathering dust in the closet. Now you can put that camcorder back to good use with this low cost housing on your next dive. Having your own personal underwater video camera housing will truly increase the fun you get from diving and allow you and your family to relive your diving experiences on tape forever! The NEMO 200 is a smart buy. It is well made from quality marine grade plastics, stainless steel, aluminum, Buna rubber o-ring and acrylic lens. The housing is rated to 120 feet.
Currently, the retail price in dive shops and dive resorts for similar housings is $275-$350. . The following are the interior dimensions so you can verify that the camera you have will fit. Nearly any small to medium 8mm, Hi8mm, VHS_C or SVHS_C camera made in the last 10 years will fit. Naturally, the housing will take many of the smaller digital video cameras now available too. The inside dimensions in inches are:: A Interior width or diameter 5 & 3/4" B Interior Height from camera mounting plate to inside top 5" C Interior Length is usually 10&1/4" plus or minus a half inch. The length varies due to production method used, if you need an exact and precise length let me know and I can arrange that for you. ![]()
There are no exterior buttons, levers or controls to break or go bad.If your camera has a remote control, as many camcorders have, then you simply insert your camera and close the housing and use your remote to start the camera filming right before the dive and it will continue to record throughout your dive capturing everything you see. If you don't have a remote you can start your camera recording before it is locked in place inside the housing. The Housing comes with a 6 month warranty covering all parts and labor.
'NEMO 200' Video Camera Housing Advantages 1. Quality, Durable Materials made to withstand the marine environment. 2. The Housing can use many models of Camcorders except large VHS cameras. 2.Quick shipping, no handling charges. 3. Six month warranty and limited time refund policy for USA buyers, See Frequently asked question section for more refund or warranty details. 4. Simple to use. 5. 150 feet depth rating-Best depth rating for price. 6. Reliable. Fewer parts and controls to leak or malfunction. 7.Video can take 1000 times more film than still cameras.20 frames of video per second for a 1/2 hour dive trip equals 36000 shots. A still camera can only take 36 shots in that same half hour. Video will capture the sound of your trip too. 8. Low price. 9. Your accessories and lights can mount easily on the top. 10. Made in USA. Parts are available and any out of warranty repair is inexpensive.
