In sticking with the theme of my original post in which I lambaste Americans for our disloyalty to our country in our constant quest for cheap (in all senses of the word) products cheaply made elsewhere, I'd like to introduce you to one company that still does it the old fashioned way… at home. Tektite is a US company which manufactures rugged LED flashlights, dive lights, tactical lights and markers. Their products are made here at home. I'm not only an advocate, I'm a customer.
My first Tektite product was a dive marker which, years later, still occupies a loving space on my dive vest. It has experienced rough treatment and weathered it well. My next Tektite product was a dive light which has also outlasted the majority of my dive equipment. This light is so dependable that I take it with me on camping trips. I never worry that it will get water-logged and have not only dropped it in water on camping trips, I even used it to hunt out a set of lost car keys in 3 feet of water at night!
As you hunt for camping equipment that is made in the USA, you may find yourself frustrated by the limited availability out there. Folks, I promise that if you buy more made in America products, they'll make more made in America products. One begets the other. By supporting the home team, you encourage home growth. It's something we need as a nation.
So before you set out on your next camping trip, check that old Made in China lamp you've been lugging around. Is it cracked or worn? Does it look like it's been through hell and back? Well then UPGRADE to a product that not only promotes America but with which you're sure to be happy. Tektite isn't just a patriotic company, they are also the makers of some of the best LED lighting solutions you're likely to find. Quality and Country. What more could you ask for?
