What brands do you like?
My go to are Sitka (clothing) GoRuck (boots), Sage and Simms (local) for fishing, for packs I like Mystery Ranch, for tactical gear and firearms I’m all over the place… tons of mom and pop outfits out there turning out great gear. I also have tons of vintage gear that had been handed down to me or I’ve bought at estate sales. SW Montana is a goldmine for old school gear at estate sales!
