Influenced

I think with some things, I have absolutely been influenced by the "brands". Mostly due to me being in the market at the time. I still use my combat boots cause they are great. The Kifaru pack I have was frankly due to me being in the market for a good pack and that being the hot topic at the time. That and I had some friends with them and they were very happy with them.

Clothes, eh idk I just have stuff that looks like camo and call it a day. I have vortex binos cause they were popular at the time and I was in the market. I also havent broken them yet so no need to change. For sure influencers were part of that as it was the hot item on the shelf at the time and vortex had a big marketing budget that year.

Be lying if I said influencers dont have some weight in that decision as its often the thing that pops into your head when your considering something. Example: freakin dog chewed up the binos. Oh i saw there was a sale on XXX Brand ill go check those out. Social media influencers have frankly taken the place of a infomercial.
