You Might Be More Patriotic Than You Think If…

The loudest, greasiest checklist of low-key freedom-lovin’ behavior.

Let’s be honest: You don’t need a bald eagle tattoo or a red-white-and-blue cape to show you’re about that life.
Sometimes, patriotism shows up in the little things — like firing up the grill in a thunderstorm or using tools for tasks they were never designed for.

This 4th of July, we’re saluting the everyday legends — the folks who wave the flag in their own way.
So here’s your unofficial, unapologetic, unfiltered checklist to find out…

You Might Be More Patriotic Than You Think If…

1. You’ve used a wrench as a bottle opener.
(And it worked better than the one in your kitchen drawer.)

2. Your fireworks budget > your grocery bill.
Because you can’t grill hot dogs over respect.

3. You’ve saluted your truck.
Sometimes it just deserves it.

4. You’ve grilled in the rain out of principle.
Cancel the cookout? Not in this lifetime.

5. You keep lighter fluid in stock like it’s a basic necessity.
(Also: It probably is.)

6. You’ve wrapped something in bacon that probably shouldn’t have been.
And you’d do it again.

7. You’ve yelled “‘MURICA” unironically.
Bonus points if it followed a burnout.

8. Your garage flag is older than your living room furniture.
Priorities. Set. Correctly.

9. You’ve bought ammo, charcoal, beer, and zip ties… in the same store.
That’s what we call a founding father haul.

10. You’ve had a bonfire so big someone called the fire department.
And you invited them to stay for a beer.

11. You’ve ignored a “Do Not Enter” sign because your gut said ‘We’ll be fine.’
(You weren’t. But it was worth it.)

12. You’ve said “This ain’t my first rodeo”... at an actual rodeo.
Or something equally chaotic.

13. You’ve considered launching fireworks off the tailgate.
And someone had to stop you.

14. You crank Skynyrd, Cash, or Creedence whenever someone says “play something American.”
If it doesn’t come with a twang or a growl, we don’t want it.

15. You’ve slammed a cooler shut like it owed you money.
And everything in it stayed cold anyway.

16. You colored outside the lines… on purpose.
(Respect to those of you getting wild with the new Hales Coloring Book.)

If You Said “Hell Yeah” to 5 or More…

Congratulations.
You're more patriotic than a gas station hot dog on the 4th of July.

You don’t need to scream it.
You live it — one burnout, one brisket, one busted knuckle at a time.

So this July, wear it proud.
We’ve got a collection coming that’s built for folks like you: loud, proud, and not afraid to rock a little grit.

Stay tuned for the We the People Collection — landing soon.
Because freedom looks better with a snapback, short sleeves, and a little attitude.
