Project MEGA - GTFO of China 3

[@jager6863]

Love MEGA. Europe has a long way to go, but it seems the tide is turning slowly. Well done Varusteleka.

[@s1urry381]

Varusteleka is an example to be followed closely. As an American, I am proud to follow you to a better future.

[@KeinBanaan]

Fuck yeah!!!! Thank you guys so much for doing this! I will fully support you guys as a regular!

[@ShaDOWDoG667]

1.4 million reduction in purchases from China in two years is great progress

[@Vaseliini]

Tästä voisi moni muukin suomalainen brändi ottaa mallia ❤

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

That is an excellent and impressive shift for sourcing and production thus far, keep up the great work-- kippis!!! 🍻

[@alphasierra.exploration]

Awesome, Merry Christmas 🎄🎁🕯️🧑🏻‍🎄

[@dimi7055]

Varusteleka is just amazing! I love you guys! Love the customer service, love the message, love the people, one of the few brands who really stand for something! Respect to all of you!

[@CanadaFree-ce9jn]

Thanks for keeping us updated.

[@aphillips229]

I'm a big supporter of MEGA. I'll pay whatever it costs to know that I'm helping to employ Europeans.

[@senseo2848]

I love it! MEGA

[@Odinsjewl]

GOOD....more of a reason to purchase from you!! MEGA!!

[@somnia3423]

Thank you for doing this❤️

[@KineticApplicationsGroup]

Its hard to compete with china, lots of dealers choose china or vietnam because of the huge profit margins and since they earn more they have more money for marketing, same with brands. So respect for varusteleka if anyone can do it they can as they are already huge. I know I have a store of my own and its hard to compete with good brands even within our own country, because every other store sells cheap high margin crap brands

[@nirfz]

Thanks for the effort. Apart from strategic independence, it's jobs, and that's something I am happy about too. For the backpack, no idea if they do "custom backpacks for other companies" but there's a manufacturer in southern austria that makes backpacks with good value for money for decades. The company is called Essl. Maybe you already looked at them or talked to them and it didn't fit, but i thought if not, i'll mention them.

Go MEGA!

[@TacticalEd]

"In a perfect world we would be rid of China completely" 😳 I am terrified by what I'm hearing right now...

[@residentgeardo]

lol @ 0:15 ... so hilarious. Maybe an assault pack from Savotta in the future? Would be willing to pay higher prices for a good quality product.

[@finnberglander7816]

Savotta makes some great assault-sized bags; as does the in-house Sarma brand! I've got several and they're fantastic.

[@residentgeardo]

@@finnberglander7816 yeah now that you mention it Savotta recently released some new bags. I'm more of a Tasmanian Tiger guy here. Unfortunately they are producing everything in Vietnam. Great kit though. But I got myself a Savotta Hatka last summer along with the Keikka harness and totally love it.

[@finnberglander7816]

@@residentgeardo They make good stuff too; I originally picked some up at the German PX at Bagram a lifetime ago.

[@KineticApplicationsGroup]

@@residentgeardo You are overpaying way too much for TT they are extremely cheap in reality there is just a huge profit margin baked into it same with many brands that produce in asia like warrior, agilite

[@residentgeardo]

@@KineticApplicationsGroup You're probably right ,yeah. It's a sad fact everybody is outsourcing to Asia for bigger profit margins. All the while unemployment and dependency on foreign producers rises.

[@Catrik]

Kunnollista. Erittäin kunnollista!

[@REV-1]

God bless

[@Resident-cb3yz]

I hope we workers get the raise of +10% to our palkka, pay here in Finland. After that we would be at same level of pay as in 2021. All things are costing way more now in Finland and pay for the job must go up. Otherwise Finnish local economy will suffer even more and people will buy elsewhere than in here and on Europe. Temu all other places.

[@fgm1197]

That's the way to go!!!👍All this migration and the sale of our companies and our know-how to China has been going on for far too long. Unfortunately we all the end consumers are also responsible for this development. No one is willing to pay €5 more for domestic quality...I expressly exclude myself from this. I do not buy anything "Made in China"

[@electron-Volt]

Consumers - vote with your money and buy local. Rahalla voi vaikuttaa. Osta kotimaista tai läheltä!

[@CarcharothQuijadasdelased]

Just say "Taiwan namba uan! Japan namba too!..." they will go mad.

[@CaptainComatose]

Affordable good red dots without buying in China is quite more of a challenge...

Hell yeah

Ditch polyester then 😎

Nylon>polyester

[@Shadow_Wraith]

I watched a gorgeous Finnish woman talking about something or other, not sure what about so I'll have to watch it again 😁

[@jager6863]

Yes the Finns have lots of Beauties lurking about. If it wasn't for the artic weather, I'd be future ex-wife hunting there, LOL.

[@xusmico187]

CCP pack better than any thing else?

[@cgm4379]

What's your posture on zionism?

[@鄧運霖]

下一個比中國更便宜勞工的地方，就是東歐與烏克蘭!

[@veikkakarvonen831]

We are eastern Europe...

[@markbecht1420]

I'm good with that

[@jager6863]

Vietnam, while still a Commie country is at least trying to dominate the South China Sea and appears to have no goals of expansion beyond its own borders. Looks of companies are relocating production to Vietnam.

[@WWXspartan058]

Hey we found the commie!

[@falsekings-p9z]

Temu reput on säälittäviä....niistä ei oo mihinkään...

[@Jezus42]

So in other words we are going to increase our costs by a few cents. We will be charging you several dollars more. Capitalism 😂
