[snow]

"What don't you like about either Patagonia or sitka. From a use stand point? I like hearing how people have put their gear through the paces and why they do or don't like it.

Oh.never said I didn't like they're cloths,just said over rated $ wise,couple years ago I jumped onboard with sitka as a staffer,even then the prostaff prices were expensive,Some of the sitka gear I own is okay but it pisses me off when they out source to china! "made in china" tags!

For what its worth Kurt, I’ve never been a Patagonia shopper anyway and I sure as hell don’t like Defenders of Wildlife. As far as the monument decision goes, I’m pretty on the fence. Good things and bad either way. But for the sake of argument Backcounty Hunters and Anglers has come out opposed to the decision as well. Should we also disparage them? I certainly won’t.

The only people I know that wear Patagonia are the ones who wear it because it is the cool brand to wear, and not because they are using the gear for function. I'll leave the Patagonia to the granola eating city slickers........

This is so perfect.

I don't know. I am a member but I don't like land Tawney what he has done before bha being part of the hfh debacle and what not. I like the idea but don't agree with all of their stand points. It's picking the lesser of two evils I guess. If a guy digs deep enough I am sure there is a reason not to like any group short of starting your own. I am not saying any one is a bad person for buying Patagonia just putting info out there with out trying to put my slant on it to much. It's nice to read stuff not laced with opinion so people can make their own mind up.

I don't know anyone who wears it. Maybe I do but dont pay attention to what other people wear.

I know a couple people and can only hope to be as good of a hunter as they are some day

Yes. The REAL tree-huggers can't afford the stuff, and wouldn't wear anything made with modern tech anyhow. Gore-Tex has to have some heritage in the petroleum family.

Look around next time you're at the mall, a hockey game, or a soccer game.

I would prefer to keep on not giving a shit about what other people wear.

Lots of sportsmen's group are both sides of this issue, which displays how controversial it is.

In these instances, hunting and fishing were lumped into the same group as oil/wind energy development and we were told we impact the resource. Those wilderness areas have been hunted for generations and USED by sportsman. Monument status put us out and put those acres into more protection, more in line with a national park. National parks are great, but I sure would love to hunt in them.....

With responsible use, I believe this was the right decision (to overturn) and I disagree with BHA on this one. And Patagonia. Didnt they take a stance on standing rock as well? Maybe i'm wrong. But if so, F those guys.
