hiking gear from non greedy sell-out companies? Chaco went down the toilet, Arc`teryx is not among the ranks of “wilson” sports gear and “salamon” which are absolute crap. Everything says made in china, and it costs hundreds of dollars, even the Marmot Exum is made in china. What the hell is going on.
Were can I [...]

I have a back problem and even with a light duty chit my snco said he doesnt care and I still have to hike with full gear. Can they do that or any suggestions. Thanks!
