Re: USA Made tactical clothing
The only one that is certain that comes to my mind is TAD gear line of clothes, but they are pricy:

And, oddly enough, their prices haven't dropped.
Plus their customer service is horrendous. Orders get goofed up quite a bit, too.Media vita in morte sumus

Re: USA Made tactical clothing
Have stuff locally made from hemp cloth. It should not be incredibly difficult to have the hippie chicks copy over the design components of your favorite tactical clothing into the rough hemp cloth stuff in earth tone colors. Looks "woody and fashionable" but functions tactical. Another bonus is that hemp cloth generally stays dull under UV light therefore does not "light up" when viewed by NV equipment they way nylons and other polymers do.Last edited by RT; January 11th, 2010, 22:42.Life, Liberty and the pursuit of those who threaten them.

The pot smokers want most people to think that more hemp products would help legalize the smokable strains, but the plant genetics people have come up with fiber hemp oriented breeds of the plant that contain very little THC. The only advantage at that point would be that sniffer dogs and such would have to be more highly trained to be selective between the presence of the two types of plants, but the plants even smell different to people so training the dogs to respond differently to each strain is not incredibly difficult.
The difference is that fiber hemp is genetically altered to have more usable structural fibers in male plants, dope cannabis is genetically altered to produce larger amounts of THC laden oils in the buds of female plants.
Sativa Hemp fiber plants can be bred to produce THC laden "buds" which are preferred by some smokers but the premium northern CA "Emerald Triangle" weed is almost always going to be the Indica strain. The Ruderalis variant is genetically related but not particularly useful and is the "weed" variety that still naturally occurs in some parts of the world. Ruderalis is sometimes cross bred with other cannabis varieties to make the other breeds more capable of surviving with less intensive cultivation effort.
