Try it. You can order a kit from Hook and Hackle that includes your glue and finish. Wrap using a cardboard box and your tying bobbin or a book. Finish on the same box turning it by hand regularly. You can build a good rod with no more equipment than a box, book or bobbin, a razorblade, strips cut from an old credit card or cheap little paint brushes (to apply finish) and a rattail file/reamer. If you decide that you like it, you can jump in and build or buy a wrapper of some sort, upgrade reamers, buy a dryer, etc.

Better to be an active environmentalist than and environmental activist.
