You're pretty much in raptor territory there.

If ford were smart they would have brought back the Eddie. Bauer

Is Eddie Bauer still around?

---

Probably displaced by Duluth Trading Company.

Filson has been around since 1897. I still want a 1996 Eddie Bauer Bronco, but a 2027 Filson is a pretty legit outdoor partnership.

---

Far more legit than Eddie Bauer which when Chap 11 this year and is closing all physical stores. I own two Filson briefcases. Their stuff is badass and indestructible.

I do have a small hatchet in the truck of the Miata, maybe I should replace it with a small chainsaw, just in case.

A chainsaw becoming flying debris in the cabin of a Bronco would be scary. Hopefully it exits one of the windows before getting to the head/body.

Let's not bury the lead here. Someone is driving around in a Miata with a hatchet.

I have nothing but respect for this.

How does it compare to Orvis?

I did a project out in Georgia in the 1990s. A guy showed up to work one day in a new (to him) Fiero. One of the things he showed us was the demonstration of stashing his .44 between the seat and the center console.

3 days later and I'm still bothered that she has a chainsaw.

I get the idea of forest roads etc. but it's just a huge tool to bring with you unless you are going specifically to cut a tree. I keep a hatchet, spade and small hand saw in accessory bags and in the rear storage compartment. Makes way more sense in a truck with a toolbox. The Bronco for all the things I love about it, isn't exactly flush with cargo space and i have to be pretty strategic about what I bring and how I store it.

I own a very nice leather travel duffel that is Orvis. It's my overnight roadtrip duffel. I love it.

However, I think Filson is elite stuff especially if you are looking for a resilient, lifetime product. I think it might take a bomb to destroy my Filson bags.

Filson had a store at Legacy West in Plano for several years. They also shared one with Shinola in old downtown Plano for a while.

Their stuff is legit but it is comical how much it out prices the income of the rugged lumberjacks it implies wouldn't be caught outside without their $250 flannel.
