North Face is woke......... Never buy their brand. I even judge people wearing their brand. When I see North Face brand on their apparel, I automatically think they are woke until proven otherwise.
The same is true for Yeti products too. Yeti is woke.
I remember Patagonia going anti-Trump and super woke too. I do a lot of camping and fly fishing and am keeping track and will NEVER buy these brands again. Also haven’t been in a Dick’s or any of their offshoots since they stopped selling guns. I think Field & Stream and Public Lands stores are their offshoots.
Are there any outdoor or sporting brands/companies left that aren’t douchebags?
I don't know their political stances but Scheels is far superior to any of the other sporting goods stores.
Thanks for the suggestion! Never heard of them before. I’ll check them out. 👍🏻
F*ck Dick's...lol
I steer away from any product that makes the product about marketing their product.
Champion is really bad at this too, plastered over all of their apparel. I would literally choose the sweatshops out of China that makes generic and plain t shirts than the sweatshops out of China that makes a major brand that advertises itself all across my clothes.
We all agree that 'being woke leads directly to going broke'. However, these wilderness apparel and recreational product companies disguise themselves under the veil of being true outdoors men. This overlaps into the hunting/fishing/ and trapping professions...... I'm going to say this right now. Not only does 'being woke lead to being broke', but it also leads to personal harm and death.
Wilderness activities are inherently tied to the hip of firearm defense. Yet, many of these outdoor product companies have become woke and anti-gun. It makes no sense and is contrary to being in the wilderness.
I've thought about all these woke 'outdoors' companies for a while with their imagery and promotion of people wearing their brand for outdoor recreational activities like biking and hiking in wilderness areas. All too many of their customers tend to be leftist woke city folk and are terribly naive about the dangers of wilderness exploration. What do I mean by this?
According to NamUs (National Missing and Unidentified Persons System), more than 600,000 persons go missing in the United States every year. Anywhere between 89 percent to 92 percent of those missing people are recovered every year, either alive or deceased. But how many of those disappear in the wild is unclear. Neither the Department of the Interior, which oversees the National Park Service, or the Department of Agriculture’s US Forest Service keeps track.
For National Parks he estimates anywhere from 1200 to 1600 people per year. However, this estimate doesn't come from the National Park Service, but from private researchers.
Think about that for a moment. Why are there all of these disappearances?
How many of these missing people go into the wilderness with a firearm for protection? I bet you it is next to none of them. On top of this, increasingly we are seeing the true colors of many of these 'wilderness' companies like Dick's Sporting Goods that have removed their firearm sales to appease their 'woke' customer base.
The story of Jacob Gray who rode his bicycle during a rainstorm into Washington state’s Olympic National Park and vanished. The 22-year-old’s bike and camping gear were discovered near the Sol Duc River, but otherwise there was no trace of him. Several months of search-and-rescue missions uncovered nothing.
I bet you he never had a second thought about the dangers lurking in the wilderness. Instead, with his bicycle he plunged into a wilderness not much different than when he use to plunge into the ocean surfing back when he lived in Santa Cruz, CA.
Think of all the wilderness disappearances. To me this is analogous to the 'Ant-lion' as unwitting ants run about never knowing the ant before them just disappeared. The wilderness is not all that it is portrayed to be. And promoting to the woke endangers too many people.
If a woke gets lost in a forest, does anybody hear it?
LOLs. That's a good one. They might be lunch for Sasquatch.
Depends if they have cell service or not.
What are your feelings about R E I ?
They're woke af too.
REI are fucksticks. They stopped selling camelbak because the parent company sells firearms.
Fuck rei
I heard that they are 'woke'. It use to be a fine company back in early 1980s. Don't take it from me though.... Check them out for yourself.
As far as I know, REI has their own problems. However, I need to test shoes (width issues) before I buy them and REI has the boot and trailrunner selection with a good return policy at least.
