All manufactured treestands have to meet standards accepted by the industry , and our incessant demand for quality products at Salvation Army store prices has promted many manufacturers to move production overseas to cut cost . If you don't like that buy from a company that you know for a fact manufactures their products here and be ready to pay the much higher price .
Bingo.... America's general population has very little interest in domestic products. All they careis that they get the cheapest (INSERT PRODUCT NAME HERE) so they can buy a double mocha cappafrappachino..... Hence WalMart becoming the largest retailer in the world.
Unfortunately, some of us can barely get by and when it comes to hunting stuff, it's buy cheap or go without...
