We are talking in vague terms, but assume you want to encrypt some offline data.

- You can just use any recommended (by whom?) tool.

- Or you encrypt it with recommended tool with it's own dedicated key. Then you encrypt it again by whatever way you made up in five minutes, and you need only to ensure you didn't use the key material of the recommended tool. Then there you go, you just rolled your own not-unsafer crypto.
