For cutlery, Becker and ESEE knives are American made as are (I believe) the knives offered by Fred Asbell and the knives / hawks offered by Ron LaClair. For folders, have a look at Buck, some of the Spydercos, Zero Tolerance, etc.

I wanted to do some stump shooting in the snow, so went shopping for snow shoes. Yeah, lots of Chinese stuff, but the one pair I chose was "Red Feather"...and made in USA.
Yep...buy American when you can.

That is simply not true. 80% of all the parts in the Toyota Tundra are made in America.
The midsize Dodge Dakota, at 84 percent, has just a bit more North American content than the full-size Toyota Tundra, at 80 percent. The Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon come in third, with 75 percent. For those who are curious, the 2011 report shows the Ram truck at 70 percent, the Chevrolet Silverado at 61 percent, and the Ford F-Series at 60 percent.Posts: 350 | From: Michigan | Registered: May 2010

Just so you Folks Know Carhartt !!?? Check the label most made somewhere else now. I buy nothing except Red Wing Workboots they are worth every extra penny you pay for them. They last! However some of their shoes are also being made in CHINA now so check the label before purchasing. By the way my 2003 Toyota Tacoma was made in California by U.S. Auto Workers. Summit Tree Stands are made in the U.S.A.! Mohawk Longbows are Made in the U.S.A. Buck Knives MOST are made in the U.S.A. Arrows? I buy woodies Sitka Spruce, Dougie Fir, Port Oxford Cedar.

Some come from old nut orchards, and some are on the beach, or in our own mountain ranges. We have some beautiful domestic hardwoods right here in the USA. Even fruit woods are beautiful.
but you are talking exotics... and a lot of the exotic hardwoods are imported in raw form and are milled and dried right here before bowyer's purchase them from American companies.

Stick and Limbs camo is made by Clarksfield Outdoors in MN. Good quality stuff and their turkey vest is a steal for the price. I like predator camo, but all their stuff is made somewhere else and carries a higher price tag!! Their turkey vest is offered here for $90 and not a bit better than the american one. I don't like to pay the same or even much higher prices for something that was made with "slave" labor wages and no environmental standards.

Dont forget the food you take to camp. Buy your fruits, vegatables and even meat from local growers. The price is often the same or even less and the difference in flavor will amaze you. for example most of the tomatoes in your local supecenter grocery store probably came from mexico picked before they were ripe as much as 6 weks ago and "truck ripened" on the way to your town.
Buying locally also benifits the local economy as the growers use some of your money to buy fertilizer, feed and other stuff locally creating more local jobs.

I agree with you Kirk. Imported goods, shipped to American businesses, and then sold to Americans. Not a thing wrong with that.

What I was trying to say is if you buy a product that says made in the USA it should be just that. Not assembled in the USA with materials from other countries.
