military surplus#military welcome back guy's. We did a little mini vacation and stopped by Rockford IL to this awesome surplus store. So here it is. Enjoy the show. God Bless
Because I am disabked and do not get to go out much, I have always wanted to see these kind of tours. Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video and share! Warm regards, DP.
Thank you. It was a lot of fun. I will have to try and do some more on surplus stores. Thank you for watching and commenting. I hope you can get out soon.🤗
If you are into vintage militaria, especially WWII, then go to WWII Weekend at Rockford's Midway Village! Held on about the third weekend in September, AWSOME! Vendors galore and one of the biggest WWII re-enactments in the USA.
That's a well-organised, well-stocked military surplus store. Wish the ol' Larada's in Mesa, Arizona still existed. It was much like your excellent video of the Rockford facility. Yep, I could spend all morning or all afternoon there & come away wanting to return. I grew up in Belvidere, Illinois, but the city I called home has undergone a sizeable cultural change. Thx for sharing the tour. Many "shopping" videos are often difficult in which to remain interested, but yours had me wishing yours was much longer. Great job!
Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed the video. My wife even said the place was very organized compared to a lot of surplus stores we have been in. I'm headed back their next month can't wait. Thank you for watching 😎👍💯💯
I grew up in the 70s and I talked my dad into buying me an army jacket with liner. It was heavy and very warm. A few years later I joined the Army and did four years. It was a great experience.
Yes he is. His help we're great too. Ya it's a awsome store, and they have one in eldgen that is just as nice, but a kittle smaller. Thanks for watching 😎👍💯💯
Good informative video. I dealt in military surplus back in the 1980’s. I think I have one of those west German border guard jackets you were looking at in the store.
Ya surplus stores are vanishing more and more. This one was really neat to see in person. Hopefully will get to go their sometime. The fleet farm serch is sad though. Hope the best. Thanks for watching
Grew up with a couple of Army surplus stores. One was in town, mostly surplus clothing and foot wear. Some gear etc. The second was favorite. Out by the edge of town. The smell of surplus canvas gear, canreens, all sorts of surplys stuff, folding shovels, helmet linere and one day had a new trash can filled with Italian carbines with folding bayonets. Actual real rifles. $1. 50 each. Gee how I wish I travel back in time. In Topeka Kansas found a trash can filled with " cos " thick coating 1917 Enfields $ 2.50 each.
Wow...that is insane. Surplus had gone up so much so much in price now. Used to be way affordable now people are making a lot of money on it. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience 👍
When I was a kid dad took me to one in our city all the time. We used to find all kinds of real military surplus from all over the world and from all eras, even some U.S. WW1 stuff. I recently went back to the same store a couple days ago and it was about 85% Chinese made rothco type junk and cheap fleamarket grade fantasy knives. It seems a lot of the surplus stores are going that way. I miss days of seeing 4x4x4 boxes full of helmets, another 4x4x4 size box full of pouches, another 4x4x4 box full of uniform pants and so on.
I could imagine those were some good memories🤗. Ya I can't stand seeing rothco or fox outdoors in surplus stores🤢🤢🤢🤢. Specially when they have more of the Chinese than the real deal.
None of these surplus stores are worth a can of beans anymore. Sunny Surplus is where it was at😂 Need G.I bandolers and ammo clips w/ the magazine clip back for 10 sets.
My home town ! Sad to see the rapid decline of the city! The only good things left is my Guilford High Vikings , Cheap Trick and a great looking Army Surplus !
O yes I've been to trader johns outpost several times. I believe the owner of Rockford army surplus is the son of the owner of the trader johns outpost. Both nice stores. Thanks for watching 🤗
Man, back in the 70s-early 80s, they had some really cool stuff from WW2, Korea and of course Vietnam……lot of it was OLD and pretty cheap back then. We used to hit the 2 big ones in Sacramento…..good memories.
That's nice, but my idea of a surplus store is boxes and boxes of "stuff," not one or two items being sold at rip-off prices but items piled up just as they came from the government . I can remember real surplus stores that would put this place to shame.
You should have gone through much slower and shown more stuff. I enjoyed looking at such a nice surplus store. Here in NC ours are all ratty and way overpriced while the owners are usually cocky buttheads. Being an old jarhead, Nam era, I am constantly on the look for high quality stuff. I loved the pick/shovel combo from the mid 60's you showed. I would love to have one in that nice of condition. I used to use one when I went out gold prospecting out west. There used to be a rare folding shovel with the shovel and pick issued to the military. It was very short lived. I don't know if it was a special purpose unit or what. I would imagine if picking rock, damage to the screw mechanism might occur or damage somewhere else. It was great for leveraging items like doors, windows and etc. The type you picked up did a fair job at picking rock veins and mineral seams in hard rock. We Marines love our gear. I own almost all of the Becker knife models, they are superior to K-Bar and even made by K-Bar from a proprietary 1095 steel . Great combat, rescue, survival and utility knives. They are very reasonable in cost and can get you in and out of anything. It is said you can field strip an old Buick with one, especially the BK-2 knife ! Well, I hope you revisit the store with a more comprehensive video or videos and maybe old Dolph will let you video him for your audience, why he might even ask you to be in one of his movies. Semper Fi, do or die ! Aoorah or old school Arrugah !
Thanks for the comment and info👍💯. We we're coming back from vacation it was not a planned trip to just their. That's pretty interesting about the Becker being able to field strip a buik though. I like that. Thank you for your services and for watching. Be all you you can be😜😜
Me too jeff. I'm ready to go back already.. lol..they do have a website, but nothing for sale on it. Not much on it. It was a fun day, and happy I got to share it with you guy's.💯🤗
Wow that is crazy you never had or heard of a p-51 military can opener I guess its because of a lot of my family being in the military I am 46 and been using one since I was 5 I love them I still have one is about 60 years old and it's never been sharpened and still opens cans like nothing
Dang I'm sorry to hear that. This surplus store is 3 1/2 hours from. We have a couple closer, but bot nearly as awsome as this place. Thanks for watching appreciate it🤗
that desert dpm pack if i am not mistaken it is made to carry electronic counter measures devices so it has a mesh that allows airflow to get inside and cool the ecm equipment. it was used to jam radio signals and other stuff if i am not mistaken. kinda like what the mraps used to have or so ive read it somewhere. love the boot section too bad that my local market and surplus store doesnt carry my size... oh well
Too bad it’s in a state I refuse to even drive through. My uncle lives in MO, and I live in TN. It’d be more convenient to drive through IL to visit, but I’d happily drive another hour just to avoid the state entirely (well, maybe 20 minutes, but you get my point). Still, it’s a shame.
I used to buy surplus field jackets,pants and i used to really like the austrian mountain boots id buy them 3 pairs at a time.battlesmocks to.from what i can see it is way to evpensive to buy surplus now.i was never cheap about buying clothing and boots.with those prices id just buy new
Wish I had a surplus store that nice near me! Why does some of the Woodland gear look like it's dark green/light green not dark green/tan? Like the ALICE pack you looked at at 5:30. I have several pieces like that including a medium ALICE radio pack.
It's possible. I have a pair of M65 pants made in the 90's and several small pouches that look pretty much like green dominant ERDL. It gets really noticeable when compared against anything made by Specialty Plastics AKA specialty Defense.@@scottysurvival
I really wish there were some good army surplus stores around where I live in Wyoming but there aren't I really miss the smell of a surplus store I don't know what it is but it's a distinctive smell
Some things we're, but then some we're outrageously priced. eBay is the same, unless you watch for some good deals. This stuff is getting so expensive these days.
The 2-b's have the zipper down the center of hood?. I know they have the N-3B parkas brand new though. Thanks for watching hope you can find a N-2B. Ebay probably be your place. I've seen them for sale on eBay before
@@scottysurvival , you must've misunderstood what i wrote = L 2' B flight jacket or the M-90' field jacket which was the early 90's version of the M-65' field coat in a jacket form
I just loved the video! i wish there was a store like that in my area? What i dont get is why you said one day you will buy an MRE winter meal? For 30bucks for one meal? what are you going ot do with it since you one day will buy it? Save it in a display or eat it? If its eat it then why spend so much for one meal? I have some food put up for a rainy day but to spend that much on one MRE is nutz to me? Hel me understand? Other then that i loved the whoel video? DOnt mean to be an ass just curious?
Lol.. it's all good I was just trying to justify buying it in my mind. This place is almost 4hrs from me. Glad you liked the video, and thanks for watching 🤗
O man....that would be nice💯👍. I know there are some warehouse surplus stores out west that might fit that description, but I have only seen them on a screen..😢😢
@@scottysurvival I was in the United States Marine Corps during operation desert storm, and I love that video, plus I was born and raised 40 miles from Rockford in northern Illinois, so that really struck home for me
A lot of stuff can be overpriced there, But I have found some things under prices their also. Just got to search things out, but I completely understand what your saying. I see stuff way overpriced on eBay also.
I did find a RARE USGI cold weather canteen cup their for $25, and that was a absolute bargain, but some of their other items in my opinion we're over priced for sure. Thanks for watching 🤗👍
Ya some are. Seems to be like that a lot anymore and online, but there are still deals out there. I did find a cold weather canteen cup here for $25 and that was a steal and it's even more rare than the canteen. Also found some east German pants for under $20 also. I did some digging to find those though. 😬😩😩😩
we got about one army surplus store here in town on the Northside , not worth going to , everything is high-dollar , it ain't like the good old days at this store , even a damn p38 can opener is overpriced , I thought surplus means you got a shitload of it , and need to move it , I say keep it .
Because I am disabked and do not get to go out much, I have always wanted to see these kind of tours. Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video and share! Warm regards, DP.

Is this Rockford Illinois
Reminds me of the times I would visit " Colonel Buby's Military Surplus Warehouse " in Galveston, Texas.
Awsome. Sounds like it was a great surplus store. Thanks for watching
Colonel Bubys on the strand was awesome!
I CAN SMELL THAT STORE FROM HERE, THAT SURPLUS SMELL, WE DO LOVE THAT. GREAT STORE TOUR.
I know right. Just something about the smell of Surplus in the morning 🤔👍💯.
I grew up in the 70s and I talked my dad into buying me an army jacket with liner. It was heavy and very warm. A few years later I joined the Army and did four years. It was a great experience.
Nice. They are warm jackets for sure. Thanks for your service as well🤗
Great store. Spent a lot of coin there over the years. Andy is a fine host.
Yes he is. His help we're great too. Ya it's a awsome store, and they have one in eldgen that is just as nice, but a kittle smaller. Thanks for watching 😎👍💯💯
Finally, a reason to go to Rockford. Thanks.
Absolutely 👍💯💯💯
Im so old, I remember when Maximum Overdrive came out in the theaters.
Same here. The movie sucked, but at least the soundtrack was good.
Good informative video. I dealt in military surplus back in the 1980’s. I think I have one of those west German border guard jackets you were looking at in the store.
Thank you. Those jackets are rare and nice. Hold on to yours. Thanks for watching
Great tour, through an excellent REAL surplus store Scotty, Thanks !!!
Absolutely you bet👍. It was a lot of fun. I'm ready to go back😎
Oh man, I’d end up spending hours sifting through all that stuff and spending a lot more money than I should be too!! Thanks for the tour
I bet, I was their for little over two hrs, and I'm ready to go back...lol...thanks for watching appreciate it🤗
Thank you for your walk through we all need to get prepared. Be safe out there
No problem. Thank you for watching
Great store. Best I've seen in northern Illinois.
Not to bad. Their are a couple pretty nice ones I. Chicago area. Thanks for watching
Michael is stoned. Lol 😂
Now this is a nice surplus store
A neighbor of mine in Topanga, CA had one of the MULEs back in the '70s. That thing could climb.
That's pretty awesome. I have to go back and re watch that movie yet. Thanks for coming along.👍💯
Thanks mate that was excellent nice to see inside these American stores make a good ones in the UK normally a bit smaller though
No problem I'm glad you enjoyed it. There are so many more out their. Just wish I was closer. Thanks for watching mate💯👍🤗
We had a couple surplus stores here years ago. Both are gone now. I miss them. If I Google military surplus store Fleet Farm comes up now. 😢
Ya surplus stores are vanishing more and more. This one was really neat to see in person. Hopefully will get to go their sometime. The fleet farm serch is sad though. Hope the best. Thanks for watching
@@scottysurvival I'm only a few hours from Rockford. If I'm ever near I'll look them up. Thank you.
Those mickey mouse boots are the warmest pair of boots I've ever owned. Used them for years .
Plus the p-51 can opener is so easy to use and when you get used to it you should be able to beat any electric can opener lol
I live about an hour from here. Visited a few times. Surprised to see a "local" place in a youtube video randomly recommended to me
Awsome. I'm heading their again in a month. Can't wait. Thanks for watching 😎
Interesante lugar saludos desde mexico 🤠🤠👍👍👍

I'm a 10 minute drive from here and never knew. Very cool
Nice👍. I would be broke if I lived that close🤔
Cool store I might need to go to visit it
You should for sure🤗💯💯💯💯
haven't been into a good surplus store in decades
I could spend lots of cash there! Almost as bad as a big tool place! Fricken awesome!
I totally agree!💯🤣💯💯
That's nice, but my idea of a surplus store is boxes and boxes of "stuff," not one or two items being sold at rip-off prices but items piled up just as they came from the government . I can remember real surplus stores that would put this place to shame.
For you preppers don’t forget your white snow gear! It may come in handy.
Always manage to find something worthwhile there.
I've been twice. I'm going back soon. It's awsome. Thanks for watching
Wish they were online. That desert night camo is so hard to come by in the UK.
O I know me too. I like the desert night camo also. Thanks for watching
Wow Scotty, what a tour, I watched half video, awesome stuff out there.
I was a little out of my element filming a store, but it was fun. No special effects in this vid....lol...thanks for watching appreciate it💯👍😎
@@scottysurvival I think you should regularly make such videos, very informative, those outside USA will have idea, whats in the stores.
@@danielmitchell5814 I agree. It's always nice to see what other surplus stores carry in different countries. I will try and do more😩

Damn I wish I would've known this place was in Rockford where they drop down the last time I was out there it's a very well put together store
O man.. it's a awsome store for sure. Hopefully one day you can make it their. Thanks for watching 🤗
Cool vid thanks for sharing!
Thanks. It's a really neat surplus store😎. Thanks for watching
Thanks
Your welcome 🤗
My home town!
If I remember correctly, those Mickey boots with the different colored toes are the steel toe model
Ahh...that makes sense now. That was the first time I ever seen those.
Get back in there... 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍. Bro could spend some hours in there 👍👍. That winter camouflage an the gille suit 👍👍🇬🇧💪🇺🇸
Lol...Yes I'm ready to go back...lol...the winter german suit was nice. Thanks for watching mate.🤗
Wow! awesome surplus store Scotty! I could spend days in there. Do they have a website and online store? Thanks for the tour. 👍

I am not sure if I like that is around 10 hours away or not. I know I'd be shelling out some $ if it was close.
Great video brother.
O I know brother, that would be a far drive for sure. It was a fun trip. Thanks for watching.
That sounds like a road trip with a buddy. “We’re just off to the surplus store love, back soon…”. 🤣
Happy belated birthday to Michael!
Thanks alex. He will appreciate that🤗. Hope all is well, and thank you for watching.

Nice. Did you ever have any experience with cold weather training during that time period?
@@scottysurvival I did bct at Ft. Polk, La, 16 months at Ft. Lewis, Wa, and the remainder in Heilbronn, Germany. None of them extremely cold.
@@irishmike519 thanks. I was just carious what kind of cold weather gear they we're using then. Thanks for sharing.
They don't have online shopping.

Any Surplus M-16 Magazines 😀
Never heard or seen a P51 can opener ? put one on your key ring you will not regret it...

Aww dang. I'm sorry man. Do you have any decent surplus stores in your state?
@@scottysurvival I Think there may be one in lower Alabama but most are gone. I'm 60 and don't remember anything like that one. It's Awesome.

39.98 for a canteen with a cover? Thats way too much

Cheaper then ebay.
Some things we're, but then some we're outrageously priced. eBay is the same, unless you watch for some good deals. This stuff is getting so expensive these days.
Going to.some one day

I know right. That would be a long list...I will be going back their in a few weeks. I keep my eye out. Thanks for watching
Surplus that surely means there is an excess that spills over towards dalby Queensland

Is there any for kids uniform
I think their is.
What is that nozzle on the side of the Mickey boots that are hanging up, it looks like a grease fitting. Lol
They are for flight/high altitude use. When you go up in altitude you open the valve to let the excess pressure out
Exactly what pop up target said. But it does look like a grease zert or something....lol.thanks for watching

Too bad Illinois isn’t a free state.
Ya I know😩😩😩
I hope that store enjoys their inventory. Overpriced and sad people cant afford peices of history.
A lot of stuff can be overpriced there, But I have found some things under prices their also. Just got to search things out, but I completely understand what your saying. I see stuff way overpriced on eBay also.
Bundesgrenzschutz Parka in Sumpftarn West Deutschland
KEIN NVA OST DEUTSCHLAND 😊
more expensive than europe
I did find a RARE USGI cold weather canteen cup their for $25, and that was a absolute bargain, but some of their other items in my opinion we're over priced for sure. Thanks for watching 🤗👍
What is the street address
2305 Charles street Rockford IL
@@scottysurvival Thanks use to live in Rockford.
No problem
Surplus stores in Tulsa suck
I've been to some that we're not all that great. I never can stand it when they are stocked with ROTHCO and FOX brand stuff.
Bullshit prices
No offense but it’s not really what I know as a kid ,too glitzy.
No offense taken😉. More surplus for me then. Thanks for watching
Too much clothes showing.
MANY of the items seen were WAY over priced . No thanks .
Ya some are. Seems to be like that a lot anymore and online, but there are still deals out there. I did find a cold weather canteen cup here for $25 and that was a steal and it's even more rare than the canteen. Also found some east German pants for under $20 also. I did some digging to find those though. 😬😩😩😩
99% Surplus stores will be stuffed with clothing. All sorts of clothing. GEAR, OUT DOOR SURVIVAL GEAR. FOOT WEAR ETC.
we got about one army surplus store here in town on the Northside , not worth going to , everything is high-dollar , it ain't like the good old days at this store , even a damn p38 can opener is overpriced , I thought surplus means you got a shitload of it , and need to move it , I say keep it .
Ya it's ridiculous on some of the prices of surplus today. What some people are selling stuff for is insane. How much we're the p-38 can openers?.
