Hi everyone on AR,

I had a SLOW day, so for fun, I thought of my recent trip to Zimbabwe. Here goes!
These are the items I used and where they all originated from in the world today. Can you add any to the list?
I am an American - German heritage -- hunter.
I rented an Italian shotgun - Armi Silma O/U.
I shot English Eley shotshells.
I wore Lowe boots - made in Slovakia.
My shirt was made in El Salvador.
My trousers were manufactured in Thailand.
I rode in a Toyota, made in Japan.
Tires on the Land Cruiser were made in China.
My Nikon scope was made in the Philippines.
The knife and watch were Swiss made.
Hanes underwear are from Vietnam.
BUT:
My rifle and handloaded ammo are from the USA!

Can you add anything you had, that I missed?

This is all for fun - enjoy!

Brittman Cool
