Absolutely. Don't get me wrong. I wasn't trying to say you were incorrect. Just to give a counter-point. And it actually sounds like you perhaps have more experience with Maxpedition than I do, since it sounds like you've bought bulk from them. I certainly can't say that. I just buy pieces and parts here and there.
I always try to give a counterpoint if I read someone panning something that I actually have some experience. Again, not to be contradictory to them (or you), but just to give another perspective.
Well for one instance my wife and I bought 10 remora bags alone, 10 LEO versipacks, 10 falcon2s, and etc. I have had close friends and family stuck just this past weekend on way to vegas, some are in other parts of the country as well, I have a cousin who has gone adventuring in the philippines, vietnam, and is planning out south american countries right now. I am ganna give him some stuff which he will ship to a friends address over there, who btw I am thankful for helping him out with who will get a hest, a izula, 5 and junglas from me. I am not rich, but I sold just in the past 2 weeks, an unfinished 71 monte carlo, unfinished 70 camaro, and a twin turbo v8 91 240sx coupe. I am trying to shave off my private collection at the moment of vehicles and reinvesting in other things like land property. Looking for places where I can have huge running room for horses, dirt biking, camping, shoot my guns and etc. I have enough cars and bikes from building since I was a kid.
And with so many people I know out doing things from vacation road trips to moving, I thought, maybe if I stake so much into some of this stuff from knives, to bags, flashlights etc. I mean we all love this stuff right? Why not pass it on to others.
From when I first started to now? Its just a huge difference like day and night, from who I was to now. Emerson folders and busse fixed blades compared to my crkt 16, and benchmade grip, to big five bargain s&w fixed blade knives that are like a few bucks...
target unknown out doors brand bags to mystery ranch, maxped, etc. Even now with all the remora's we have which we are slowly filling with stuff for everyone, the difference in material workmanship is apparent. But all acceptable, because I don't see slight off stitching as a problem for the items long term use and stand up to abuse. If it was like some falcons or vultures I have had where straps were off, meaning it would rest on your shoulders akwardly angled, than returned it would be. I've had issues with the mongo. But eh, otherwise their stuff for the price is a good medium from cheapo stuff, and a great bargain.
I still only buy stuff for me here and there, just for me or the mrs, but you know thats how you find good stuff, through word of mouth, and personal purchases! And your input was greatly appreciated, because everyone has something that misses and passes through quality control sometimes. From Noveske and LWRCi, LMT etc weapons, shoes, to car parts, so no worries!
But I have been wanting a esee bag for a while, but will have to wait, other things right now are weighed at the moment, and its more a want than a need, since i have bags to fit the bill for everything atm, I do however am looking to contract out for a discreet carry bag for my lwrci psd/sbr as well for my 16 length rifles. Sucks that my psd is stuck in colorado lol. Schools over and now its time to gtfo of cali
