Wow, I always assumed that they were made in the US. I just looked at my 2200 and it was labeled made in Vietnam. I would have never known if you didn't post.

 

better take a closer look at your Eberlestock, it isn't made in the USA.

 

I've never seen them advertised as being made in the USA, the ones I have looked at all had Vietnam tags on them.

 

Yep.

 

We've moved on to a mostly service-based economy now. And not to derail your thread, but this is all simply a fact of Global economic expansion --- there just isn't going to be much produced that strictly originates from the U.S.

 

Since our government would rather tax the hell out of US busineses instead of trying to help them, you can expect more of this in the future . . .

 

Mystery ranch. 100% american made

 

Badlands loves you long time......

 

badlands loves you long time......

lol!

 

USED to be American made :wink:

just like almost everything in this country

 

thank washington for it

 

shoot my 2200 wasn't made in US either!!! I was always under the impression they were. well still a great pack.

 

bad thing is, most of the stuff made in America, is made from parts that were made in China/Taiwan/Vietnam. Tags should read "Assembled in America"

 

Pretty sure that everything, including the actual material itself, that goes into making Mystery Ranch packs are 100% USA. At least from a quick search -- you'd have to contact them to verify.

...be prepared to pay for it too.

 

At least there a America company and the profits are coming back to this county unlike tons of china stuff.

 

I don't care where it's made.
The people making those Badlands packs need to eat too. I have no desire to own an Eberlestock but it isn't because of where it's made.

 

I hate to change the topic or anything but we now create ideas in America. You can't just get buy with a high school diploma any more. It sucks but thats the way it is. Ideas are now the objects that spur economic development. Smart people designing smart things to make our lives better.

We don't make t-shirts anymore because if we did we could never buy them for $20. We would be paying 50% more for all of the goods that we buy. So now its time to get smart and invent something. Use your minds guys and this world will be a better place!

 

Ideas are now the objects that spur economic development. Smart people designing smart things to make our lives better.

that may be true, but it's that line of thinking that sent ALL the jobs over seas. For the US economy to truly recover, we may have to start paying $30 for a t-shirt, and bring the jobs back to the US. Even though, now, you're paying $20 for a t-shirt, in all reality, you are paying the $30 since your taxes are going to pay for someone sitting on there azz, waiting for a check from the govt.

 

If you want to go with a quality made American made pack go with Kifaru or Mystery Ranch.

I know there is a lot of stuff out there made out of country thanks to a few of our countries dealings but times are tuff we the people need as many American jobs as possible because our country is going down hill fast take a look at the DOW and the Stock Market and get ready for the great depression all over again.

 

Who cares where it's made...???

It's guaranteed FOREVER!!!

 

FYI....

I know of two brands of hunting packs that are made in the USA...

MYSTERY RANCH

SOP Hunting Gear

I've owned SOP "Horn Hunter" packs... they are very nice. The MR packs are "Elite" quality packs... way nicer than Eberlestock and Badlands, but really pricey. You get what you pay for though....

Badlands, Eblerlestock and most others are made in Vietnam, Tiawan or other SE Asia countries. You will almost NEVER see packs made in China.

Buy Mystery Ranch or Kifaru.
