Problem: Article: Some hotels also let you exchange frequent flyer miles for points, which in turn can be used to cover hotel costs. Even if you can't find a willing or available relative or friend, they may know someone who is perfectly willing to let you stay for a few days. There may be some conditions, but whatever arrangement you work out, like doing light housework while you're there, is probably going to be a much better deal than paying for a few nights at the nearest Hilton. If you've exhausted your own personal network, you can likely find a short-term housing solution using sites like CouchSurfing, Global Freeloader, and Hospitality Club, which specialize in connecting travelers, tourists and others in need of a place to stay with those willing to offer their residences. Keep in mind these sites do not screen those offering accommodations, though they do let travelers post their experiences with hosts staying who advertise on their sites. Do your due diligence on any potential hosts before you make travel arrangements. You'll likely have to water some plants, feed some pets, and bring in the mail periodically. But these opportunities, which you can find on a variety of regular job sites like Indeed and Craigslist, as well as niche sites like HouseSitters.com and LuxuryHousesitting.com, can save you big bucks while you explore a new city or country! Websites like Hostels.com, Hostel Worldwide, and Hostel Bookers can provide you with pricing and availability for hostels across the world. You should understand first that you'll be sharing your accommodations with other travelers and so you should prepare yourself mentally for a dormitory-style experience. Always take necessary precautions to secure your valuables and documents while living with others. While this costs some money upfront, a fully paid off timeshare will allow you to avoid paying housing costs. Moreover, some timeshare contracts allow you to rent out your property to others seeking low-cost housing accommodations. It's possible for a savvy individual to cover most or even all of their timeshare purchase costs by renting out their property during peak vacation times. Perhaps you have a home in a location a friend of yours wants to visit, and they have one in a place you'd like to spend your next vacation. Call them up and coordinate your calendars. Voila you've just saved yourself a boatload of money!
Summary: Exchange rewards program points for hotel stays. Stay with friends and family or ask them to help you find a place to stay. Use websites like Couchsurfing for free places to stay. Search for house-sitting gigs. Stay at a hostel for a low-cost option. Buy a time-share. Swap homes with other friends and family.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Making inserts in your holster will help stiffen it. This helps hold your weapon safely and securely. You're going to need a right, left, and top insert. Simply trace the sides and top of your weapon with a marker onto the inside of your leather. Rough cut it to be the size of your weapon. Cut it with your razor knife. Place a piece of spare leather between the leather that you're cutting and the table. This protects your table and your razor blade. Cut it bigger rather than smaller. Cut along the outside of the line that you've traced. This way you can match them up and cut them down until they are perfect. It is possible to cut them down more and more, but if you start off by cutting too much off, you can't add to it. After a few hours, go get your holster. It will still be damp, but when you take off the clamps, it should be starting to hold the shape of your mold. Dampen the outer piece of the holster once again. You want it about as damp as the original time that you dampened it. This means it will be wet, but won't leave water on your hand when you touch it. Use the empty weapon instead of your mold this time. It will give the leather a better fit around it. Use your stretching blocks and re-clamp them over your holster with the mold and inserts inside. Place your holster back in the sun to dry. The longer you let it sit and dry, the better shape it will hold on its own. If you don't let the leather set in the proper position, your weapon won't fit correctly. This could cause it to fall out of the holster, or it could create difficulty for you when trying to get it out.
Summary:
Stiffen your holster. Cut your inserts. Get your leather holster from outside. Place your inserts on the inside of the leather, around your weapon. Let it sit for 24-48 hours.
