Montane make serious hiking gear rather than outdoors fashion. It's a decent jacket - lightweight but with tough enough shoulders for a back pack (assuming they haven't changed the specs recently).

This might be a cheaper source: http://www.outdoormania.co.uk/Item-2...t_Venture.aspx

i like Danner for boots (mountian light IIs), patagonia and outdoor research for clothes, arcteryx for packs. orvis or patagonia for fly-fishing stuff. ll bean and barbour for non-technical outdoor stuff. but i've got stuff from most of the major manufacterers.
Danner Boots for sure - especially the Mountain Lights. Danner is made in Portland, Oregon. They've become quite popular in Japan (they even have a Japanese website http://www.danner.co.jp/outdoor/ ) which probably helped fuel renewed interest for the brand in the U.S.

Personally Filson and Columbia make darn good products, both of which have life time warranties on their products. I had a Columbia hunting jacket that I used and used hard for around 14 years. Crawling through mud, sitting out in snow storms and rain, etc.. The jacket finally began to break down about a year and a half ago. sent it into Columbia for repairs and they gave me a brand new jacket which was valued at $400.

Winchester .243 is the worlds greatest rifle. Need more stopping power? Remington Model 700 30-06 or a Weatherby .300 magnum. Browning Auto-5 shotgun. H&K or Glock 9mm.

Browning Auto-5 = fantastic shotgun a lot better than the Browning Auto Gold they have now.
I'm more of a fan of the 308. Winchester myself.
