REI and Patagonia don't surprise me. I will not wear one thread with a Patagonia label and I only shop at REI out of desperation. I can't understand what Gerber is thinking, but since they make their junk from crappy steel, I won't buy one anyway.

Muck Boots are a disappointment. I have a pair of Woody Bayous and like them very much, but if that's the direction they wish to go I'll never buy another pair.

As for Nosler, they like a lot of other folks in the hunting community have a skewed sense of what constitutes "fair chase" and I think it's a naive tactic to suck up to the antis and try to play fair when what really needs to happen is to fix bayonets and go after the enemy.
