All my firearms are American made including my recently acquired FN FNS-40c. When possible I'll always support an American made product.
My boots are Redwings.
My pocket knife is a USA made Kershaw.
My tools are Snap-On.
My Good-Year tires were manufactured here.
My jacket is a USA made Carharrt product.
Even my ball cap has a "Made in USA" tag.

Great thread. Keep it going. Support America, Buy American.

I try to buy American when possible. All my firearms, save for a Glock, were made in America. I try to find accessories that were made here, too, even if it's small stuff like sling swivels and slings.

Owly How could I have forgotten Red Wings! I only have 6 or 7 pairs. Not all of their stuff is made here anymore. But you can pick the ones that are.
3 styles. Made in USA. Made in USA with some imported parts. Made in China. I only buy from the 1st 2 categories. I have 4E wide feet so my choices are limited. Even my casual semi dress shoes are Red Wings.

Also my running style shoes are always Made in USA New Balance. Like Red Wings you have to look for the made in USA but they are clearly marked on the tongue. They also make the 4E wide I need.

I need a 4E also and always look for New Balance because they are one of the easiest to find in that size. But unfortunately I see that the last pair that I bought say made in Indonesia.

I have a nice pair of Danner boots just recently made in Seattle. They are a great company.

New York Wine

Post by RetiredSeabee » Wed Jul 13, 2016 7:44 pm

One of the highlights of a road trip to New York State is the finger lakes wineries.
If you like good wine and haven't tried wine from this area you are missing out on some great vino.
We only stopped at four this year and only brought home 16 bottles. I hope to go back up in the fall for a long weekend and hit a few more of our favorites that we missed this trip.

You got some of the area's best there. There are some fine folks on the forum that share an affinity for the Keuka Lake area.

Just found another product.
http://www.shoporca.com/

Orca Coolers. Similar to Yeti style and made in USA. They also sell NRA branded coolers!

Maybe Henry will see this and work with them on a Henry branded cooler. I'd buy one! :D

I read thru this thread and noticed the subject of avoiding China. No one hates China products more than I do but how do you avoid them. Check your cell phone I bet most here have one. Check Sams out. Like fish and buy it there. No thanks the fish at Sams is all China. Fish can be expensive for sure where I am. But when I buy it Great Alaska Seafood online. Shipped to you front door free if you buy enough. The real thing here that gets my goat is alot of these so called american made products have many foreign built parts in them. So the companys that are claiming american made are not always the case. Al

Those of you who have been following my Charity Tumbler post may have seen the Charity Tournament Sponsor's Company Name: YakAttack.
YakAttack started out making kayak fishing gear, rod holders, lighting, rail systems, bait crates and much more. But their gear, rod holders, rail systems, and the like can also be used on powered boats as well.

I have known the owner since before he had a business. I spent time fishing with him on the local lakes, and Miss T and I have watched his girls grow up. Sheesh, both are starting college. How the time has flown... :) ... Man am I getting old. (er.) :roll:

Luther is COMMITTED to Made in the USA, and though his factory started in his garage, each time he has expanded , he still manufactures locally. With each expansion, needing more room as the company grew, he seemed to have to move farther out into the rural counties, but we can still drive to the business in an hour.

Check them out at https://www.yakattack.us/about-us/

It's a family business, and his employees think of the company as family. His girls still call me Uncle Jim, and Miss T and I still get a hug when we come in the door. ;)
:P
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Good stuff. When I refurbished my bass boat a few years back I was surprised at how much marine stuff was still made here.

I have fuel tank, seats, rod holders all made in USA by Tempress. They are on the last link I posted.
