DIY Filter for the upcoming fire season

dynomight.net

I came across this blog post -- considering that fire season is coming up (or already started in some places) and the PNW's track record, figured some folks may find this useful. This is a pretty cheap air filter that is easy to construct with minimal tools and works better than putting filters onto a box fan.

Hello fellow PNWers!

Hi all, figured I would get this community started in the hopes others would be interested in joining. Where are you from? What do you love about Oregon, Washington, BC? I am Olympia-based now but have also lived in Seattle and Spokane. I so appreciate the laid-back culture and the closeness to nature even within urban environments here in Western Washington.
