What US-made outdoors gear is worth buying?
Context: I'm a Eurofag due to visit the States (finally) in Spring next year.
I doubt I will be doing a huge amount of /out/ing there (as the trip is looking like more of a roadtrip), but I do want to buy some quality American made gear.
Why?
Because you hardly find US made anything in the EU, and it's always like 50% more expensive than in the States.
And there is something about outdoor gear made in the US that gives me a semi.
So - any advice?
What is still made in the US & still good?
This far I've got:
Benchmade
Spyderco
Buck
Leatherman (got a TT300 already)
Any of the other 3 good? Which models?
Thanks for any advice rendered.
