Not even the language on their disclaimer page is original.

They did however, find and correct where I had misspelled the word "clearly".
Now I'm gonna have to go check your website for typos!They did however, find and correct where I had misspelled the word "clearly".
If imitation is the highest form of flattery, then you should be flattered, PapaSmurf.
Interesting ...
They have Kupilka cups, with the tags cut off and their own tags on them, calling them "our Kuksa Cups". I wonder if that's licensed use?
And I think the best is the section they have on consulting, with this gem of a quote (bold text my emphasis):
"In addition to creating and running Bush Smarts, we are available to consult on projects in the outdoor industry. Our entire business, from logo to titanium and leather bits to social media, was created by the two of us - fast and on a shoestring"
*sigh*
(disclaimer - I have no idea if they obtained permission from Kupilka to sell them in this fashion. If they did, more power to them. But if does seem suspect …)

so they just buy stuff, cut the tags off, stick little bits of leather on them and call then ''theirs''! pathetic.
Karma is a harsh mistress.
That is ridiculous. I will be sure to keep my money out of their pockets.
Yep, that is a tough way to start out introducing yourself to HF. Bring in the PR consultants!
They won't get my business. Randy, your gear is awesome and I will always be a big fan. I love my ThunderBird, and it will be flying proudly.

I got a particular kick out of their "vintage" patches with axes on them that they're selling for $25 each. You can get identical patches for a fraction of that from any number of places that sell military uniform accessories for less than $5.

- Nonsense. You only say that because no one ever has.
I noticed that.

One of the tools missing from their marketing tool box is respect for the intelligence of their customers.
