re: As outdoorsmen, why do people associate good products with high prices?

I haven't seen one of these threads in a couple of months!

I love nice equipment. But I still use the same ol floating blind bag I got at Simmons for 90 bucks!! Ten years ago. I use a lot of my equipment for many seasons, so I buy more expensive higher quality goods. I love expensive guns that aren't very practical. Can't help it. But if this thread is about you being too cheap to spring for a Yeti or a little Sitka gear, stop hating. I have a yeti, but only because my wife got it for me. But I see their purpose. And Sitka is just awesome.
