That's all well and good when it's a dinner plate and failure in the dishwasher just means you turf it out in the morning, but if your camp stove hose bursts and sets fire to your tent in the middle of a blizzard, customer satisfaction takes on a whole new meaning!

Na,
Chinese manufacturers will produce any quality goods you wish to pay for. Pay a decent amount and get good quality, pay a shitty amount and they’ll still produce it for you but will cut corners.

The major brands have QC at the factory for the production runs. The small brands don’t.
Macpac years ago would send QC to China for their sleeping bag run. A years worth of bags would be completed in 2-3 days.

The trap I believe for bushbuck is trying to hit their price point. They went at it from the get go to be cheap.
