Member wkumtrider recently got a forum post started to talk about buying American-made products. Of course, we here at Outdoorzy support buying gear made in the USA when you can. And even if you can't buy gear that was manufactured in the US, you can buy from companies that are based in the US and hire US employees. For one thing it's a huge aid to our economy, secondly it reduces the need for child labor in foreign countries, and thirdly it takes less fossil fuels to transport goods only within our borders, rather than around the world.
So... we did some research and found these companies headquartered in the US and most are manufacturing in the USA in some capacity. Check out madeinusa.com to search their database for more companies.

Two other mountain bike companies that make their bikes in the US: Ellsworth and Intense. Expensive bikes, but are some of the best out there.
No problem Outdoozy! Cannodale and Gary FIsher make some mt bikes in the US. My igloo cooler is American made too!
Made in the USA. It's hard to stay competitive. VERY HARD. Of course our company also makes only natural and organic materials, so the price is even higher. But like you, this is something I am very passionate about, and we will continue to manufacture in the USA for as long as possible. Thanks for writing about it.
Yep. Made in the USA AND Organic... can't beat that!
Another good place to find american made products is http://www.DigUSOut.com . Its a search engine to help Dig U.S. Out!
