Be American Made

Celebrating American-made products and those that produce them.

We absolutely love every company that we feature here on BeAmericanMade. We truly do. However, this company has set the bar pretty high for everyone else.

We are currently in September, a very active time of year for archery hunters across the United States. Whether you are chasing big game out west or perhaps staying a bit closer to home, you are going to want precision broadheads for your arrows. Iron Will Outfitters provides just that. We learned of Iron Will Outfitters while listening to a recent MeatEater Podcast featuring Iron Will co-founder Bill Vanderheyden. His knowledge and ability to explain the reasons behind the Iron Will broadheads led us to investigate a bit more. Continue reading

MagLite

MagLite flashlights seems to be almost universally known. It seems that everyone we know has one. Or two or three. Whether it is the larger full size flashlights that seem robust enough to use as a hammer, or the smaller, compact size flashlights that fit in your pocket, they are everywhere. We think this can be attributed to the fact that they are quality, Made in America, flashlights. Every flashlight made by Mag Instrument, Inc. Continue reading
