An often overlooked source is the OLDER Boy Scouts of America handbook. It covers all manner of things pertaining to bushcraft/survival/ camping, etc.
Very true, when the Scouts were still scouts you learned a lot, knots, orienteering, camping and cooking to name a few. You can find a Boy Scout manual from the early 1920s on line and print it out 👍. Good advice there
@@55Quirll I did not know they had any online, thanks, I'll have a look.
@@55Quirll I never advanced past Tenderfoot, all I was interested in was the camping/bushcraft stuff. I only earned two merit badges: fire making and mile swim!
@@55Quirll Thanks, I downloaded a 1967 version too, which was my era.
@@Pappysan Mine too 👍
I wish the army never stopped issuing those mess kits. they were flawless
It's always fun to walk around a funky old Army/Navy store with piles and racks of merchandise.
i was lucky and found a crate full of the ww2 era mess kits at a yard sale for like $10. They were from the guy's dad's era BSA troop. Love mine for camping and long distance metal detecting trips
I can taste the 2qt canteen through the screen. Those things always taste like stagnant water that has been sitting in a hot cooler for months. The hard plastic canteen tastes great though. Dont know what it is about that plastic taste on the 1 qt, but the 2 qt does it all wrong.
I generally use the 2qt for cooking. Covers up the taste nicely.
Unless the taste like Koolaid you forgot to empty out after coming back from NTC and spent a month in the trunk of your car.
They got camp lajune water in them
Heck, one of my 2qt canteens is over 50 years old. It probably did have some of that lajune juice in it.
I prefer the old steel canteens with cup. Reason is brandy and whiskey taste better vs a plastic canteen. Also you can put them over a fire to purify water and you cannot that with a plastic canteen.
Hey....Boonies aren't "corny" 🤣 I wore them my whole time in Iraq and still wear them hunting here in Florida.
MRE's will made you so constipated it will feel like giving childbirth when you finally go.
Advice is the only thing cheap on this list. I've used all of this stuff in the US Army and would recommend. Much on this list I own, and purchased with my own money after getting out. I use a lot of this gear for hunting, others as preps. Most I have duplicates of for myself and the wife.
ECWCS Gen III Level I: Baselayer Top & Bottom (light weight long johns)
ECWCS Gen III Level 2: Baselayer Top & Bottom (thicker long johns)
ECWCS GENIII Level 5: Shell layer - Soft shell cold weather jacket and trousers (windproof, slightly waterproof shell)
ECWCS GENIII Level 6: Shell layer - Extreme cold/wet weather jacket and trousers (waterproof Gore-Tex rain suit)
Military (spectre brand) "Jerry" water can, extremely durable plastic, 5 gallon (BPA free, made in tan or green). Currently used by the military. I just got 2 for $45ea/$90 total on ebay, new.
US Army Military 4 Piece Modular Sleeping Bag Sleep System. Thin bag (temperate) + thick bag (cold) can be combined for extreme cold, waterproof Gore-Tex bivy bag and stuff sack.
US Army ACH Helmet (look for the ones with pads that velcro into it, not straps or webbing)
Please don't buy a high-cut bump helmet....they're not bulletproof. Kevlar one's run like $850+. A good condition ACH off ebay runs $100-$250. You can buy new pads and chinstraps online.
US Army IOTV (improved outer tactical vest) with Level III soft ballistic armor (stops up to 9mm), butt protector, groin protector and yoke. Adding plates = Level IV (stops up to 7.62 AP).
The IOTV is currently produced by Point Blank Body Armor, Protective Products Enterprises, UNICOR and Creative Apparel Associates and commonly found BAE Systems & KDH Defense Systems
US Army M40 CBRN gas mask. (M50 is current issue but expensive) We still used the M40 in 2012. 40mm CBRN filters are available from MIRA for $30+ each, shelf life of 7 years.
Ka-bar knives
Eagle Industries backpacks, duffels or mag pouches
USGI MOLLE II Modular Lightweight Load Carrying Equipment Ruck Sack with frame and 2 sustainment pouches.
Any Camelbak brand backpacks (not issue but commonly purchased & used by servicemembers)
Military Issue Gore-Tex boots are good to have a set of.
I like Belleville Gore-Tex boots for rain/cold and Rocky tactical boots for hot weather.
I wear by bush hats all the time except when it’s real cold, then I wear my wool watch cap or fleece.
why do you think boonies are corny :} ?i wore one to for years in service and still do sometimes never thot of them as corny so what does corny mean :)
True military surplus may be a little bulky but it is more than adequate to use. I have several of the items you mentioned in my kits with no regrets.
I recommend gorilla crystal clear tape to repair the book. My top choice for maintenance on the wallet I've had since 1995!
Been getting military surplus for over 40yr, . Eighty percent of my gear is military surplus. I favor mostly the old school gear and clothing. I get most my gear now from flea markets and online from the surplus outfits I’ve been trading with for years
Great video! The Trangia mess kit is from Sweden. I had one in the army and still using it.
That mess kit is the greatest . Got them from Bass pro shop
Can you walk us around your surplus store and show us all the things that they have?
yup I plan on that one soon, will do a video on it they are OK with filming in there
@@Iridium242 Thanks, looking forward to it 👍
The best about surplus stores is the smell. I love that smell.
It's one of a kind.
Musty sweat? 😅
@@CreachterZ No more moldy canvas.
@@Romin.777 Awwwww…. 😆
Poncho is a must for keeping yourself and equipment dry.
There's been a military surplus store in Spokane Washington the same location since I was a kid 15 years old but earliest I can remember it's been there for over 30 years. Their gear is top notch! Everything from boots to shovels cots and tents
Cant beat those old army blankets. New subscriber. Great video
The Idaho Falls surplus store is huge and awesome.
I saw that Litefighter tent and had to see what other goodies you found. Those can be hard to get ahold of!
How many you need…..
Hey Magic!
Hey I just watched your last video 😎 Got me some Invader coffee because all the stores here have none 😒
Damn I'm jealous. I lived in that litefighter tent for 3 weeks at one point once and i want one.
I get ALL my ammo cans from our Army-Navy store...I even recently got an OLD foot locker.
I have some Ekco Miracle Roll can openers I got from my grandpa. Said my great grandma used them when he was a kid. They both still work flawlessly!
We used to have 6 surplus stores in my area,my son and I loved browsing through them on my days off work,the last one in my area closed down 12 years ago 🙁
Headed to the Surplus right now!
I’m so glad you hit on the subject of military surplus. I to visit my local surplus store. The booney hats are awesome. Also I have aquired medical kits and supplies. I have a few mre,s as well. Lots of great deals if you just look around. Thanks for the information and insight. Tells me I’m right on track 🎃
There are both pros and cons to this comment, but I bought an old Kindle and store all kinds of FM’s on it. Also if I run across good info on a website I will copy and paste it into a Word doc, save it as a PDF and email it to my a kindle. Any old tablet type device will work. Granted it’s subject to breaking and failing but it’s a lot better than toting around 30 lbs of manuals. I have a backup to mine and keep it in a faraday. Just another option for n the ol’ 2 is 1 and 1 is none mindset.
I have found a lot of great ammo deals as well as gun cleaning items here in Colo surplus stores.
Ok, so I enjoy collecting and using old gear. Specifically I have the M1956 LBE: H harness, adapter for carrying field (butt) pack at near shoulder level, 56 and 61 field packs, ww2/ Korea era canteens and pouches, ww2 hatchet with cover, Etool with canvas cover, machete with canvas sheath, m7 bayonet knife and sheath, and more recent era poncho with liner. I enjoy changing the gear carried around to fit differing choices for a day in the woods. The ability to easily switch gear, where attached, and what the total loadout is really makes the military surplus a nice option for my purposes. I can go minimal or heavier. Just depends.
thank, you for you're video. 🇺🇸
Thank, you
Hanhs is the best... been stopping buy every other week and picking up a few odds and end.. they even stock suture kits.
All the surplus stores ive been to are heavily over priced. 😒
That Swedish mess kit is great, and that mil-spec plus mess kit is good….esp with the included cutting board. The Pathfinder M40 Mess Kit is a good pick; the M40 kit, a spork, and an alcohol stove make a great combination.
online is the only option for me as far as mil surplus goes. can i make a video request? for your next solar generator/power supply video, would you do a test showing what the draw would be for a table lamp or two with an l.e.d. bulb? i want to get a back up power source of some kind, and space is an issue along with noise and gas fumes, so i am really liking your solar videos. i am looking for something that can run a lamp, charge my phone and maybe my laptop computer and a couple Fenix flashlights. i don't really need to run a portable fridge/freezer, mainly because i dont have one. yet. lol
I bought five JNA shirts for 1€ each and they are at least 40 years old butthe one that is my size is going to get a button replacement and I will use their parts interchangebely to raid mod the one that I'll be wearing. ❤
Thank you for telling us
Build to last. Items from the old days were built to last. Items today ( in all too many cases) are built to break in a few years time. Thus you will need to buy a new one.
This is a deliberate policy by manufacturers.
Also they can skimp on materials, saves costs. Win- win from their perspective.
Jonah, it's called 'built-in obsolescence'...
I've always thought of military surplus gear as war proven, usage proven and I have used most of it myself since I am a veteran. you learn all the multiple uses and combinations that work for you. online or in a brick store... you can find the equipment and parts for it.
If your gonna buy paracord get the brand survivor cord it’s paracord with a metal snare wire, fishing line, 150lb bowstring, and fire tinder as the inside strands
DAMN! Right after I made my purchase on an online surplus store.
the black ess kit stove for the trangia is Swedish, the green mess kit is either German or Polish, I have a Polish mess kit that is very similar to that one
The black part is the stand+windshield, the green alumn pot+lid is the Swedish mess kit. There's also a stainless-steel version (I got one), but it is rare to find nowadays. Inside the pot rests an alcohol burner. Any type will do, but the original Swedish one (3 crowns stamped in) is hard to beat. The combo is a storm-proof cooking setup that's outright phenomenal, albeit not ultralight. The German mess kit looks similar, but has no stove nor stand. I got both and have used them extensively outdoors. The Swedish kit is in my family van during wintertime, together with bottled water and dry instant soups.
I have a canteen with a built-in water filter
I have a pair of old Dunham boots I bought in 1980. I have had them resoled and yeah they are a tad heavy but rock solid. As for items hit estate sales, yard sales. Get quality surplus Israeli stuff is good. My one single item which I hold dear is my 20 cup perculator coffee pot.
here in europe, mil surp stores are quite rare (with few here and there, and some stores online that sells mil stuff), so its harder to get good deals like this. I did get fully decked osprey mk IV armor (without inserts that is) for under 50€€, and additional pouches for less than 8 euros. that, some mess kits, ballistic helmet for 50 a piece... you can get decent stuff at discount prices if you're willing to wait ;)
I got a large Alice pack , I bought a newer harness with padded shoulder straps and a waist strap, it is enormous and holds a lot of Gear, weighs about 70’ with all my gear , I consider it my bugout, but I use smaller packs for excursions
I hope you feel better. Thank you for the video.
Excellent Video, thanks for sharing !!!!
I live near an army navy store in El Cajon, San Diego California where i buy lots of surplus good. i am on a limited budget. and don't forget Silver for bartering
Well im viewing your video from the uk we dont have many surplus stores but about 50 stores in the uk and there hard to find because there tucked away in out of the way areas and a 20f x 20f shop is a large one and not much equipment in them so to walk in one is rare...
Military Gear is the ultimate, like he hints at just don't pass you self of as a soldier or marine ect ect, by maching the gear camo or color like, even army green vietnam style, with the exeptions paint ball or air soft.
Paper copies always are better, but you can download pdf copies of almost all of the manuals. There's an argument for doing both.
Cool beans unfortunately there isn't any surplus stores around here but I have most of that stuff I had trucks trailers generators radios . I just sold the trucks
I bought a 120 liter dry bag...24.00. And a bunch of new camo t shirts heavy duty..8 each! A Gerber shovel..19.00. Place sells camo fabric. I bought 6 yards...18 feet... to make my own Gilley outfit..poncho...tent cover and car cover. Boots were all new and expensive. I bought a Kevlar vest. I want a German helmet!
Outstanding video! Please keep them coming.
Here's a little heads up for you on Sportsman's Guide they have chemical suits gloves and boots on sale very good prices I picked up a few myself
Good video , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Australia we are starved for this gear. Most military surplus stores just sell high ticket camping gear. Guns are highly regulated as is ammo.
A usa online store shipping to Australia and new Zealand that sells the very edge of what's legal (not illegal!) Would do very very well. For example... kits do very well. Chamber reducers (can be placed in a normal pipe) would do well, diy armour kits and body kits for cars and persons, retractable number plates, crossbow kits, spring knives are illegal but sell the knife and the spring separately as a kit with a disclaimer, real usa military surplus (what's available in usa is rare as hens teeth in aus)... all stuff legal in aus (given a disclaimer) but cannot get.
Great video! Thanks. There is a great shop near me with lots of these things. First time here. I subscribed!
Most army surplus stores are really expensive in Pa.
Wish it would be later deadline so we how get paid on the 1st.
As soon as I get a chance to get to the city .I want to stop at the army surplus store . A few thing I want .
A poncho , a Vietnam war era helmet
A canteen and cook cup .
Anew machete with hard sheth .
And a ventig holster for my 1911.45
And a case of MAE'S
I bought my shooting bag from Hahn's.
I really liked that other one in North Vegas.
I just looked at the map and it looks like he's gone. It was north of the Interstate but it was a real surplus store and the owner was a Vietnam Veteran. Last I went there, the sign said Closed For Medical Reasons.
I hope he just retired.
He was friendly and generous to a fault.
I am not sure but i think it ight have been Mad Man Surplus? But yeah been in almost all of them in Vegas
@@Iridium242 MAD MAN , That's the one.
Every time I go to vegas I stop at Mad Man. Family run place . I wish them all well and I'm hoping they are not closed .
This year I scored two Granite Gear Chief Flatbeds complete with the beavertail for $225 CAD each. You can find deals!
Thanks!
Great video!
Great video brother
great coverage items there
G10 BRIT BLANKETS OR AUSTRALIAN PONCHO WHITH LINER ANY GORTEX AND HOOPED BIVIE BAGS .
Only local surplus store thinks everything is made of gold and wants its weight in gold for everything.
95% of my gear is military surplus. I have got great deals at flea markets also.
Fun to watch, informative, good vibes and a good attitude. Subbed.
Awesome, thank you!
I want the tactical Pringles. They stack nicely. 😁
@@sog4646 lol they have been sitting there now for a month, the can is empty for a future project :) lol
Subscribed! I’m from LV as well
"A new prepper." I think one is born a prepper by nature. I've felt the need may entire life. But that's just me.
I love the boonie hats.
Yeah,
THAT is a great list. There's nothing wrong with old/ broken-in equipment.
Good list.
Great video
US Navy pants are excellent.
What’s the best military surplus store online that you know of?
Coleman's is where I buy.
They have a good selection.
And their prices are good too.
Avoid Sportsman's Guide. They're known to send knockoffs.
@@Pygar2 Confirmed. I got off Active Duty Army in 2012. Purchased something off sportsman's guide, I believe it was a piece of ECWICS gear I couldn't find in my size anywhere else and it was a complete knockoff. I emailed them & sent it back. There's actually more knockoff's than I thought out there. I had to be very selective on ebay and request photos of labels & such after getting burned there as well. Luckily I've got most of what I need now.
Charleys Surplus out of Chicago is very good, I’ve been trading with them for a long time.
Buying used boots or shoes is not a good idea, especially if they are already broke in, as they can damage your feet. Hahn's is a great shop and I go there often as it is only 20 minutes from my from my home.
I stopped shopping surplus stores in the metro Atlanta area because they don’t discount surplus items. The few that did discount went out of business years ago. The biggest was Hodge Army/Navy; in biz for 65 years +. And their prices are ridiculously high.
when you said adding magazines to the boonie hat, you did mean cartridges right? seems like loaded magazines would be hard on the neck
Hey just found your channel, the boonie hat has loops for inserting camoflage they are not molle they were fitted on the british hats many many years before molle was a thing 👌 and the german helmet you have there are awesome but I'd like to point out that america copied the german helmet many years later, the germans were useing those style helmets in WW1. The americans who fort in WW1 European theater wore the brodie helmet issued to the british and later around 1917 made their own version of the tomny helmet called the M1917 👍🇭🇲🤠
Any recommendations for good online surplus stores?
Help!
Can anyone suggest a good online surplus
Store. Only found 1 and it wasn't that good.
I recently went through my medical gear.. My fiberglass casting/ splinting supplies had all aged out.. Passed exp date. They got rock hard. Worthless..
Check your exp dates.. My advice with meds. Any antibiotics... Toss them after exp date. Any other meds useually last year's ..
I BOUGHT ME A POLISH GASMASK FROM EBAY
@Iridium242 What surplus stores do you use and which ones are reliable?
A....strong...and...healthy.....body...is....ultimate..here.
In the 70's you could buy surplus ammunition, bayonets, dummy grenades, and all kinds of cool stuff you don't see anymore...
I envy having easy access to such there's a bunch of poser stores in Canada X.X
Rip mate, deeply sad about your passing
Hey Iridium242 I Just found your video. I live in Kingman ,AZ. about 100 miles from Vegas but we don't have any Surplus Stores here . Do you have the address of the Hahns Surplus you mentioned ? I have to go to the V.A. Hospital and the Air Field there soon to get my Wife's Retired Dependent card renewed pretty soon and would like to check the store out.
Yes its 2908 E Lake Mead Blvd, North Las Vegas, NV 89030
Boonies are the bomb
Are all c-rations gone?
In my time in prepping since around 1998 I have yet to see any
Black dye.. on the cammo changes things alot.. for the better and it doesn't look so military.. still shows cammo pattern but definitely different.. less likely to get vets aggravated...
I'm a vet so I know the things that piss me off.. like Mr special forces eod tradoc comand Sargent major general black ops delta force comando Para forward observer ranger with his dd214 redacted to the point it shows he was latrine specialist and his 2alpha was misplaced by certain superiors..
But he has several purple hearts mov's silver stars that he can't wear because his missions are still top secret.. won't be and jail very long because he has a special number to call...
So yeah black dye.. works well.. some things are quick some take time..
I was actually going to try some brown rit dye, I wanted more of a woodland color for out here in the desert more sand color but darker
Rit is what I use.. I find having the articles pre wet works better.. more even..
@@Iridium242 There is another RUclipsr who demonstrated using acorns, by boiling them, to die ACU gear a much more natural Woodland color
@@joehadenough1642 lol thats funny, I just watched that video the other day and that is what gave me the idea for the brown color cus it looked so cool, I may try the acorns too
👍
Didn't get a look at your discount tag to get extra discount
