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.🤗
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.
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 😎👍💯💯
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.
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 😎👍💯💯
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
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.
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.
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 👍
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.
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.💯🤗
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 🤗
there is a huge one just of I-15 south of Idaho Falls Idaho takes about 2 hours to see everything and they even have jeeps and trucks parked in the back
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
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 !
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
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
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.
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😜😜
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
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 don't know, but I was just showing off the store military items. I wasn't trying to represent anyone in particular. Thank you for your service though. You guy's do have the navy seals. Some of the toughest, but maybe not as tough as delta force though🤪.
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.
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
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 🤗
@@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
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.
no more surplus in northern cal. or even reno nv. to find such i would have to drive over 1000 miles. maybe far more. there are a couple shops but i can not call them surplus do to there pricing. bring your first born and a ton of cash. maybe even a couple body parts. just to buy a patch. uniforms are about $200USD ( shirt, pants, socks,etc)
Ahhh darn man...that's a shame. One day they will be nalatolgic. Ya some of the stores even this one are extremely overpriced, but then again I found a pair of east German pants dirt cheap and a USGI cild weather canteen cup. eBay can be even worse for prices. I mean people be selling like military jackets or rucksacks for extreme prices and then you might come across one in better shape and dirt cheap. Thanks for watching
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.
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.
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..😢😢
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.

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 🤔👍💯.
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.
Me too

Awsome. Sounds like it was a great surplus store. Thanks for watching

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.

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
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 😎👍💯💯
Now this is a nice surplus store
Thank you for your walk through we all need to get prepared. Be safe out there
No problem. Thank you for watching
Great tour, through an excellent REAL surplus store Scotty, Thanks !!!

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. 😢

Awsome. I'm heading their again in a month. Can't wait. 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
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 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😩
Love that place. Check out Trader John's in Elgin. Great folks at both places.
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 🤗
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 did show in the video a sks mag chest rig, but I can't remember anything else chest rig related their though.
I still miss the Army issue socks, OD green cushion sole, that I was issued in January 1973!
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.

Any Surplus M-16 Magazines 😀
Nice
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 !
I understand. So many towns are declining, but thankfully there is still some good stuff around. Thanks for watching iron mike💪
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

For you preppers don’t forget your white snow gear! It may come in handy.

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 🤗
Why are you only using question marks? Even if it's a statement, you still use one? It's kinda weird?
can i get there online or place at ?
Their is not any online. Only in store open to the public
@@scottysurvival our local store shutdown was curious why i asked not tore near here anymore
Pound cake FREE !
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
@@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

مرحبا فيديو ممتاز جدا شكرا لك على المشاركة اهلا وسهلا بك
Thank you and thank you for watching 🤗
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.
O mannn....I feel ya. I live here😩
Went to check out the website and it doesn’t work…
😩😩😩 Ya I've looked to, but nothing working
no more surplus in northern cal. or even reno nv.
to find such i would have to drive over 1000 miles. maybe far more.
there are a couple shops but i can not call them surplus do to there pricing. bring your first born and a ton of cash. maybe even a couple body parts. just to buy a patch. uniforms are about $200USD ( shirt, pants, socks,etc)
Ahhh darn man...that's a shame. One day they will be nalatolgic. Ya some of the stores even this one are extremely overpriced, but then again I found a pair of east German pants dirt cheap and a USGI cild weather canteen cup. eBay can be even worse for prices. I mean people be selling like military jackets or rucksacks for extreme prices and then you might come across one in better shape and dirt cheap. Thanks for watching
Need a list of what they have , I need a British military surplus shoulder bag ww2
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

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.
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.
Surplus that surely means there is an excess that spills over towards dalby Queensland
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 ooh well I would have happy to fish and drink vodka with ya
What is the street address
2305 Charles street Rockford IL
@@scottysurvival Thanks use to live in Rockford.
No problem
39.98 for a canteen with a cover? Thats way too much
No firearms?
@@Cacowninja I didn't see any😩

Thanks it was fun to do. It's the only one I have done. Thanks for watching 🤗
