You're different than I am Rich. I worry over buying things from these old school companies like Boyt and LL Bean that used to be Made in USA and have now sold out going straight Made in China. It bothers me, and I just won't hardly do it. I can find stuff on the secondary market that's solid and made here if I'm willing to wait and look hard enough. If I buy new, it's from outfits that still sell some good old American gear. I barely darkened the door of a Cabela's or a Bass Pro in 10 years. It just bugs me, so I avoid places like that.
