Default U.S. Orders

With the dollar at over $0.97 now, are any of you shopping south of the border more than usual? Or has anyone started because of it?

Got my Cabela's archery catalogue, and it's pretty tempting to smoke up the old Visa.

This is a perfect time for the Dollar to be where it is. With my up-coming Hunt in Alaska, I have made a substantial order from Cabelas, and other smaller ones from Barneys Sports Chalet (Anchorage), Jansens down in Idaho & Americase in Texas. If it werent for where the Dollar is at, these orders would have been alot higher.

Buy, buy, buy.

I've placed a few orders from the states this fall too because of the value of our dollar. Clothes from Cabela's, a pair of Leica binocs from Cameraland NY, and a nice leather holster for my Redhawk. I have this feeling that it won't be long before our dollar is worth more than the US dollar. It's a good time to order from the US for a lot of items.
