Fermenting Pickles

I am going to ferment pickles.

I have found a recipe on wild fermentation.com to make sour pickles. I thought I would try this because I like pickles and it would be cool to make my own.  I will need cucumbers, spices, and to make a salt solution. Since it is the summer, it says to add more salt to slow microorganism action. I will also need to make a contraption to put them in which I'm thinking I can find a good jar that will work just as good as their special equipment.
