I always try to buy products made in the USA or other countries that pay a decent wage. It keeps getting harder to find companies that still make there products here. I will try to post them as I find them. If you know of any please post it. Right now I am looking for a tent and rain gear. I believe all the canoes are made in the USA or Canada so I will not bother to list them.

Some of the companies also have foreign made items on their website so check before buying.

It's not a tent or rain gear, but the best sandals you can get are Chacos, and they're made in Colorado.

www.chacousa.com

I find that they're stable enough that I even use them while portaging. I bet lots of people disagree with the whole "you'll break your ankle" thing, but they're stable and have great traction, and it's nice to be able to wetfoot it at will while jumping in and out of your canoe.

For those that are near a Fleet Farm they also have a few American made boots

Amen to Kondos - I bought a Red Rock Super Pack from redrockstore.com it's made in Ely by Kondos - a really sturdy pack with a monster zipper... it comes with 2 - 30 liter plastic barrels (they may be imported)and it holds enough food for 2 for a week,and it is comfortable to portage. I can tell I'll be portaging it for many years to come.

I agree.....buy American ....our jobs depend on it!!!!
Or at least buy from countries that pay a decent living wage.

This is off the topic, but; How do you create an "active link" to websites like most of these listings vs the one wolfwatcher posted?

There was a post on this awhile back under the subject: posting a link 101. This should take you there Snakecharmer

Thanks snakecharmer

I found what looks like a good tent made in the USA. It is the Eureka Combat Tent. This is the same tent used by the US military. Most Eureka tents are foreign made but the military tents are required by law (Berry Amendment) to be made in the USA. The 2 man combat tent is on sale right now for $350. I ordered one today. They also have a tent called the extreme cold weather tent (ECWT) and an individual combat shelter (ICS) but I am not sure if they will sell it to the general public.

I'll agree with the sandal thing, norm.

sorry, but the irish setters (red wing shoe co.) i hold in my hand have a "made in china" label. decent boots, but cross them off the list.

Irish Setters and Worx brands both made by Red Wing Shoes are made in China. As far as I know the boots just labeled Red Wing are still made in the USA. I did a quick check on the web and the couple of models I looked at were made in the USA.

if a significant part of the red wing shoe co. labeled footwear is "made in china", how does that fact put them on the same list with CCS and kondos?

Although I prefer to buy from companies that only make American products those companies rarely exist. I am listing any American products that I find that may be useful in the BWCA. Buying a pair of Red Wing boots made in the USA helps keep some jobs in Red Wing, MN compared to buying one of the many other brands made in China or elsewhere. Quite a few of the companies I have listed have some foreign made items so it is always important to check before you buy.

Here's some snowshoes that are made in USA: Redfeather snowshoes

word on the job site is that redwing shoes just sold their entire shoe (boot) manufacturing capabilities to china. we were told once thir stock is gone they will all be slowly replaced with the made in china lable.

I've been wearing Red Wings to work for almost 20 years (only 2 pair).So much for me buying another pair of Red Wings if in fact this is true.

Have worn Redwing/Irish Setters for years and bought my last pair in Feb. 07. Were totally UN-symetric or lopsided. Returned them in March 07 for replacement. STILL on backorder and customer service replied to me like a 3rd class citizen. No more Irish Setters for ME! NOW I know why. Sold out another citizen. IF this is true--...."Greed is a terrible thing" Sorry, but all this touched a nerve!

Overthehill, don't be sorry. It's about time we tell the big retailers that the lowest price isn't enough if it means poor quality products made by sweatshop slave labor instead of quality American made products, even at higher prices.

Well... its turning into a "Wal-mart world", where cheaper is better in some sort of twisted way. Thanks to their "driving down prices", they also drive down the way of life for a community. It's sad to say, but if they could sell "redwings" thru a china made organization at a 20% lower price... people would buy them and they would make a profit. It's a downward spiral and a shame that people don't make the connection.

That's my two cents worth... I'll get off the soap box now.

I agree with many previous recommendations.

I really like St Croix Rods made in Park Falls Wisconsin. There are only a few high end rod companies. It is cool that one of them is located in the northwoods of Wisconsin:

Totally unrelated to the intention of the thread (sorry), but how does the Kondos deluxe tarp compare to CCS? Based on the lack of information on the Kondos website I am assuming the CCS tarps are lighter, and that the Kondos are not a sil-tarp. Anyone used a Kondos deluxe? Would you recommend it?

I have been debating if I can justify spending $100+ on a CCS 10x10 tarp for my September trip. I know that CCS is the best, but I did not plan on dropping that kind of cash for a tarp. The Kondos seems like a good comprimise.

I do not have a Kondos tarp, but I have a bunch of their packs. They make quality gear. They have extended their July sale til end of August. Check out the 10x12 tarp. Kondos tarp

Depending on the knife, Gerber is made in the USA. Look to where the blade meets the handle for the "Made in the USA" stamp.

Mad Angler,

Thanks for bringing this thread back. I feel more strongly than ever about where the stuff I buy is made at.

Because of this thread, I have searched out and purchased a Eureka military tent to replace my TL4 that I no longer took pride in owning. I haven’t used it yet, but if it’s good enough for our soldiers, it will be good enough for me.

Only one pair of their jeans are made in the USA. Check closely if you want some that aren't imported.

This is an interesting thread which has inspired me to do some research. I have been a big fan of LaCrosse boots and wear them now when I go on BW trips. Sure enough, by 2000 it had begun outsourcing and by 2002 70% of production was by third world countries. I still love the boots I've been wearing and expect they'll last a while longer, but I would have sworn that they were US made. Actually the company has moved from LaCrosse, WI to Portland, OR. How does one keep up with all of this stuff?

I love Wigwam socks! Made in Sheboygan Wi. I have small feet and they make socks that fit me. They are around the same price as smartwool and the other brands.

I am all for buying American. Help OUR economy, NOT China's.

AAHHH... I suppose outsourcing to cheap labor was the reason for a cheaper price. Makes sense. Thanks gutmon

This is a good thread.

Some Henessy Hammocks are no longer made in USA. Warbonnet hammocks are.

St. Croix and most higher end fly rods are made in USA. St. croix is a great option for spinninf and baitcasting rods. I think Ihave 12 St. croix rods.

love my wigwam socks, have a pair on now!

I guess we are kind of "in the same boat" in Europe.

Not only our jobs depend on this, the future, our children etc.

We loose a lot of history, skills and know-how if we just buy foreign stuff. We get lo cost replicas of what we have developed, but they are not good enough in the beginning, after a while they learn, and makes even good quality. We forget how to make it. Over here we have a luxury (so far), plenty of jobs social security, and a good life. Still we don't know how to make a things anymore. I'm scared.

The Seal Line map case I just bought reads 'made in USA'. Probably not locally made, but closer to home than china. Not sure about their other goods, or components.

Danner boots high end stuff is still made in the USA, bought a pair of Grouse upland hunting boots this fall, made in the US of A, by far the best boot I found for leather Gortex upland

It's best to buy American, but is there any entry-level US-made company? Mid-level? My impression is that once you get US-made nowadays you're at the "best" level. That's mostly what I use. But I enjoy buying kids outdoor gear gifts. These kids haven't caught the bug yet most times so I like to just help nudge them with a basic kit. The only affordable way to do such a "test gift" is foreign-made. It would basically be for sleepovers with friends and party weekend car-camping, unless they catch the bug more. So expedition grade just isn't appropriate. Like, even Eureka isn't US-made for their general camping stuff, much less their entry-level stuff. (That $350 military tent isn't appropriate for a non-outdoorsy teen.) Any leads on US-made entry-level gear?

Thanks! -- JP

Sometimes, the "corporate greed" thing is foolishness. It's often about being able to stay in business and compete with foreign companies. We got "free trade" and the sucking sound that went with it. You need to blame your politicians, and yourself for the situation, not the small company trying to stay in business. Many would LOVE to make their goods here, but lack of labor at a competitive rate or skill level makes it tough. Also, there are many regulatory impediments that just don't exist overseas. Remember, you STILL must be able to sell your products side by side with the Chinese products to stay in business. Calling it "greed" is a simpleton's answer. Ross Perot was right, and we were just too caught up in our cheap Walmart lives to pay attention. So who's really the greedy ones? Maybe it's the American consumers!

Yes, both you and we here in Europe has a personal responsibility.
Of course I want to pay as little as possible for the good enough quality. But I see we are not only loosing the market, we are loosing the skills, the know-how and our history. If we don't take care we will end up without the possibility to develop our selves further, and let others lead.

Filson still makes SOME stuff here: but they've been importing more and more.

Henry Shire's Tarptents is a fantastic company. I have a Scarp 1. It weights in at a hefty 48 ounces. A silnylon bomb proof paradise. And only one pole to boot.

I try to buy stuff made in the States. I like knowing that at least a little of my money is going to some normal working smuck like myself.

You gotta be kidding me? Filson is importing?

I am a member of a smoking meat/meat curing site and we have some pretty passionate folks over there who promote "Made In America". Some links were posted there along with some I use and figured I'd share them here.

Just bought a sweet Expedition Grade Heavy Duty Soft Sided 40 qt Cooler at Gander Mtn tonight. 2420 cu in. Pretty damned nice collapsible cooler. Made in the USA! The quality was reflected in the price (wasn't cheap). Glad I bought it. Gander Mtn branded. I am also happy to say I got a pretty sweet discount on it thanks to their screwy weekly ad.

Yep, Filson is importing so much that it is hard to find anything that they make here. A lot of the waxed cotton stuff is sewn here from imported fabric. I am very disappointed with them. I was willing to pay top dollar for there stuff because it was made in the USA. They still charge top dollar for the imports. Frustrating.

Yep, it can be a pretty slippery world sometimes.
Ordered racks for bed of the Tundra a couple years back, from U.S. Racks. When shipment came in: Steel made in USA; assembled in China. Huh?I was trying really hard to buy USA/support USA labor so it disappointed. Oh, paint job peeled within a year. No biggie; just repainted them. They are decent but not hi-quality racks. Good for my needs.

Watch the video in this article- oh, this is a great idea!

Wow. That's pretty bad. I bought a tin cloth packer coat out West back in the late 90's on one of our elk hunts. Absolutely love that coat. Will probably outlast me. Was just looking as some of their packer hats for this years trip. I think I will write them a letter stating my disappointment in use of overseas materials. I'm sure in time, the quality will become that of Irish Setter boots. What a shame.

Does your coat stink? I got a shelter cloth packer coat back in '97. It road on the cantle of my saddle for years, and seemed to take on a rotting smell. At first, I thought it was horse sweat or elk blood, but it's not. I've washed it multiple times and retreated with wax, and the smell remains. If I wear it in public, I get some weird looks. Smells worse when it gets wet, like a wet dog. I thought about dry cleaning it, but I'm pretty much sick of fooling with it. Besides, they ain't warm coats, just useful as an outter layer. Even with the liner, you still end up damp and cold. Anybody that wants my coat is welcome to it. Pay for the shipping and it's yours.

Amen. Anyone who owns stock in a retirement account and is hoping for it to grow into a nice little nest egg and complains about corporate greed is being quite hypocritical. Not that I think corporations running the world is the ideal situation, but we've done it to ourselves. We vote with our pocketbooks for the most part.

It's funny how when these companies move overseas for cheaper labor, the price of thier goods don't come down to reflect the lower production costs.
Bottom line is buying American Made goods is good for American workers.

I agree with you, but in my first post to this thread I bring up the cheapness issue. I wish there was a budget line of made-in-US gear.

It's kinda like how in cars for the US car-makers to get back in the game they need to make a Civic/Corolla beater. But, who knows, maybe they have with the Cruze/Fiesta. Are those made-in-US? Hope so! And best wishes to em! It's not the high-end that brings the overall victory. (Whups, just checked and Fiesta/Fusion is Mexican, as per the name. Cruze is OH.)

Anyway, I'm amazed by the pricepoint and even the quality of cheap WalMart camping gear. OK, it's probably crappy, but for low-engagement car camping it's not a bad intro. I use a cheapy $25 solo tent by Texport for bike touring (2 lbs max) and it's held up for 6 trips now. I know not to stress or bump it. :) Our Eureka 11-foot family tent has endured 50 nights out now, $200.

I certainly woulda preferred to buy American.

I recall the vital role that the Herter catalog played in outdoor gear, coming on strong in late 60's-70's. Poor kids could afford it. Pre-Cabela's there was only Orvis and other pricey options.

But once I definitely knew my priorities I'm sure glad I got that kevlar Advantage canoe and am sure glad I got a top of the line bike. Even so, I had to scrounge sales and secondhand. I couldn't change my demographic.

I also do believe in the idea of "I'm too poor to buy cheap" though I can't always put it into action. When I raced bikes I wish I had bought only the top-end hand-made sewup tires -- they cost twice as much but lasted 3 times as long: cheaper in the end as well as twice as nice all along! That's maybe my clearest example of "best is also cheapest" idea.

So there are all these sometimes-conflicting angles to consider.

Does your coat stink?

Do not own a coat but my Filson hats need replacement every year or so because of the smell. I just attributed it to my stinky melon!

butthead

Contact Filson and send the coat back. They will send you another one. Lifetime guarantee and all. Might be worth a try. I've used the warrantee twice in the past and they didn't quibble one bit.

I've had a shelter cloth coat for years and yes it does stink . . . but the smell is of the wax concoction that they use to dress it. It hasn't gotten funkier over time, smelled right out of the box. I like it!

New Balance running shoes

The Russell Mocassin Company is in Berlin, WI. I bought a pair of custom made boots there back in 2001, I believe it was. I still wear them. I went to their shop and they took my foot measurements and asked me what I wanted in a boot. As they were measuring my foot, I could see their production area. A bunch of father/grandfather types back there cutting leather and pounding soles. What an amazing company. Once you order, it takes a little while for them to get your boots done. But that just means quality to me. They're not cheap quality, which means they're not cheaply priced. I think they'll even make boots and shoes from your own hides if you're a hunter.
Russell Mocassin Company
You don't have to have them custom made (I did because I have small feet and they didn't have my size in what I wanted in stock). They have lots of boots in stock so you'll probably find something you like.

I suspect American biz is doing gangbusters in terms of the upper-end markets and perhaps always has. But that's the 1% and can't keep any economies going. $300 boots are wonderful but $30 boots make the world go round. Plymouth Prowlers are/were cool cars but Civics build nations. Wenonah, however, is an example of a quality item that can support something of an economy. But I suppose the budget boats at Dick's are foreign made and sell 100X as many -- like Grumman used to do. Grumman likely made a US city or three go 'round. ...How to get production like that, at those price-points, back into the USA. That's the challenge. But, who knows, maybe there's someone here who really knows what's up.

The Russell prices have shot up quite a bit since I had mine made. They seem to have doubled. Believe me, I am not in the 1%. But I also don't like to buy crummy products that fall apart from companies that don't stand behind their products. I spent around $200 for my custom made Russells about 10 years ago. I could have bought $100 boots and would have probably replaced them 2, maybe 3 times in the past 10 years. I'm not saying you can't buy quality boots for less. You certainly can. I'm just sharing my experience with a great American (Wisconsin even) company.

First thing, American workers gotta get over their sense of entitlement. Honda and Toyota kick our ass because their workers (including those in America) buy in to the idea that what's good for the company will be good for them in the long run. You buy into their company culture or you don't work there - period. Our union workers look at everything as a contest with management. Y'all must remember the stories about coke bottles in door panels and other such sabotage during labor disputes. A new work ethic must develop where workers promote their products and employers first and foremost. Companies must start to view their operations in a holistic manner, with employees as a integral part of the investment. The only thing a guaranteed job does is guarantee mediocrity.

Some of my stuff, I've made myself. I have a one-man campfire tent which is nearing completion. I have made my own down jacket, down booties, hunting vest,fishing rods with American made blanks,knife sheaths, canoes, canoe paddles, canoe backrests, tarps I'm not saying everyone is meant to make their own gear, but don't be afraid to try... And it will be made in USA

Great list. Is there any good T-shirt or short sleeve shirt makers yet in this country? We have to bring back our textile-clothing industries. Been looking.

It is really silly also to think you can have good employment numbers in this country,if you make nothing.
