Microwave. Nice.

My wife and I both have Vandals. Why? Because we support a S.O.P.W.M.T.O.S. Period. I hate the idea of giving money to foreign countries of I don't have to. Yes, there are some fine products made there. No, that doesn't help my community, region, economy or country.

I support guys like MW, Soulcraft, Paul, White Industries because they offer a product that is made in the U.S.A. with pride. I know that pride when I go to work every day and put in 8 hours to put out a product that I'm proud of - not that's "cheap to the degree that it won't break now, but who cares in 31 days."

My 11 year old son has even asked for a Rambler, which we've seriously considered. If he keeps it through college it not only pays for itself - but we know he has a bag that is strong and won't hurt his back. I remember growing up and having a new backpack every year - and every year I had more problems with my back as a kid because cheap bags suck.
