The American Flag Hammock
The Grand Trunk American Flag Hammock is an awesome spot to kick back in American style. The Grand Trunk Company has been around for almost 20 years, so expect good quality and a lifetime warranty. The single size is perfect for one person, durable, triple-stitched – even after a year of use it’s still holding up perfectly. We have not tested this, but it’s rated to hold 400 lbs. Packs up small. Comes with carry pouch, nautical-grade carabiners and hanging rope. Hangs in about 1 minute. Makes for a good American made gift. Find it at Amazon…
The American Legend
This Evel Knievel Vintage Poster is the same that hung in every young boy’s room during the 70’s and 80’s. Evel was that cool. This replica shows him popping his trademark warm-up wheelie with California’s San Bernadino Mountains off in the distance. The paper is not really paper at all, but a tough fabric that won’t easily rip or tear. We hung ours on a metal door with a few of these stainless magnets (we use them around the shop too). Bring the legendary American hero back. Install this in your workshop or mancave today. A great gift for the motorcycle lover. Find it at Amazon…
The Pendleton Twin Camp Blanket
Soft, famously durable and warm, The Pendleton Twin Wool Camp Blanket is a lifetime purchase. Make a fire and grab the blanket until it warms up. We have one my mother bought as birthday gift, now years later my daughter has “acquired” it. Originally made for cold Pacific Northwest nights, and still woven there today. These blankets are perfect for a camp and look great on the couch. A rugged, soft family heirloom proudly made in the USA that will last a lifetime. Comes in Green Heather, Lake, and Mineral Umber (shown). Find it at Amazon…

Certified by FMAA (Flag Manufacturers Association of America) to be genuine. One year warranty. Buy the patriotic man a gift made in America. You’ll be proud you bought it. Find it at Amazon…
