So, when we set out to find dog bowls that are made in the USA, Basis Pet came on our radar with their no-frills stainless steel dog bowls. Below is my experience with …
Everyone loves a good hoodie. We’ve tested several hoodies made in the USA over the years and when American Giant released their Classic Full Zip Hoodie, I knew I had to get my hands on one to try it out. We’ve written about American Giant a few times and they are typically known for their jeans. But, they’ve been releasing a lot of other great apparel made in the USA over the last few years …

During my research on tents made in the USA, I came across Tarptent, an outdoor gear company based in Seattle, Washington.

The company was founded by Ignaz Schwinn in Chicago all the way back in 1895 and quickly became the largest U.S. bicycle manufacturer in the 20th century.
