I paid $100 for two pairs of Rothco Jungle Boots at the surplus I shop at, They look like old Vietnam era U.S combat boots and they've withstood my outdoorsy life style. They aren't very comfy though when you first buy them I had to put some insoles in them. I also got a M65 field jacket in Tiger Stripe for $60 and that thing is rugged and the liner is water resistant which is nice for North Carolina weather. I'm a regular at the surplus store I shop in. It's owned by a former Army soldier and his two sons who are active duty marines.
I have used surplus us desert tan boots at work and have lasted two years on an oily shop floor. My co-worker bought chinesium boots and only get a few months service.
Some carrier rigs like Smersh vests are really good for motorbikes and hiking, etc, since it’s just giving you extra pockets and not interfering with anything.
Great video mate, i bet theres lots of every day uses for no end of surplus, always worth getting surplus as its so much cheaper for some harder to get expensive gear.
Yeah a few people have correctly said, if you need something really high end then you may have to get a brand new top end thing which will cost a lot, but surplus is better and cheaper than the vast majority of products on the market.
good video very interesting I personally have a camo tactical vest with tons of pockets and room I also have a canteen pouch and a pair of military boots they are handy for carrying things and good support and protection for your feet
nah doc martens tend to fall apart after 6 months for me, the made in england ones are decent but youre better going for solovair as they make the DM boot and its usually cheaper to just get them straight from soloviar mind it is like 2-3x the price. suprlus boots are unbelievable value for money, particularly the austrian meme boots and german heliboots
Weaponsandstuff93 thats a shame! Would be good to see more airsoft from yourself as you have a great knowledge on the topics you cover, if you could push that toward airsoft stuff too it would be awesome. But in the mean time good work buddy :)
Not with gas mask satchels as most are rectangular or a bit small for a laptop. There are a lot of other military bags though on eBay that probably will fit one.
I wear the old US Army BDU Pants (DBDU,DCU,BDU,etc) and they are the most comfortable pants in the winter. Also can you reccommend a mask for someone who has an underbite?
I think an Avon S10 or FM12 would be fine with underbite but I can't really test that I'm afraid. They have two bottom straps that would pull it tight to the jaw.
Im back and i here to ask to someone who's better at knowing gas mask I do have a PMG gas mask with a 40mm filter, but the mask is a bit yellow, how can i remove the yellow colouring?
Is there a good place to buy S10 outserts like red or mirrored etc. I have looked online and can't find them anywhere. The only place I can find them is on eBay for £50. Is that a price to be expected or is it too expensive. Thanks

what was the name of the store? I've got a surplus store near me with a similar look.
Sometimes I do the washing up wearing my S10, it scares the nosy neighbours and keeps them away from me. Very useful.

i really enjoy your videos on surplus its nice to see the difference of surplus and new items
Cheers

I went to seattle recently for vacation and i visited surplus store and found a cool soviet bag that im using for school
All hail the mighty surplus.
Thanks for the info I need to check out a surplus store for some good stuff
Cool
good video very interesting I personally have a camo tactical vest with tons of pockets and room I also have a canteen pouch and a pair of military boots they are handy for carrying things and good support and protection for your feet

Hey, a video on the MK ultra experiments carried out by the c.i.a would be cool
13 O'clock podcast already did an excellent hour long video on that so I'd recommend you that one.
Weaponsandstuff93 thanks, ill defintely check it out
MOLLE sistem is great. I have a backpack with it and it is really handy and you can modifyit to suit your needs. Those pouches are really good
Yeah I imagine it's good for having lots of pockets and pouches.

Nice vid as always. I love your channel also if I were to send some us Army stuff what's the chance it won't get to you?
A high chance it won't get to me as it's illegal to send and UK customs may seize it as well.
Weaponsandstuff93 ok. I has some nice stuff but never mind. Sorry man
Find your videos very interesting and informative! You mention airsoft often, would you think about getting in to it at all?
As I've said before, I have some airsoft guns but there is no local site to me that is convenient to play at.
Weaponsandstuff93 thats a shame! Would be good to see more airsoft from yourself as you have a great knowledge on the topics you cover, if you could push that toward airsoft stuff too it would be awesome. But in the mean time good work buddy :)
Really interesting!
Can you think of a satchel type bag for a laptop? I need a new work bag
Not with gas mask satchels as most are rectangular or a bit small for a laptop.

This guy is incredibly charming.

My brand new gortex long rain coat was 60 USD
Cool
Is there any parts on the gp5 that contain asbestos or the bag sorry I'm new to gas masks nice video by the way :)
Only the filter
Any paintball gear to show?
Nope
Chris Stavros you can use a lot of gear that is surplus for paint ball
What type of gas mask was that one that you showed in the video?? Be because I really want one of those
Without checking the video pretty sure it was my Israeli M15.
great video i like these surplus vids keep em up mate!!
Cheers
I use a surplus helmet as a bike helmet
As long as it has the right padding it will be fine.
+Weaponsandstuff93 it doesnt. I just got it so police stop pulling me over
Good video, really helpful!
Cheers
Do cheek filter masks like the polish mp-4 contain asbestos?
Nobody knows really, they have never been officially tested.
I just wanaa ask you does israel allow any gas mask or military item to enter the postal office and get it normally or they will take it away?
No idea
Do a s10 gas mask really work love your vids by the way
RalphyOwen 05 if its in good condition with new sealed in date filters yes it does. 👍
You don't put still sealed filters in your mask unless you really want to suffocate.
Yes if it's in good condition.
Which gas mask do you personally recommend?
chainsawplayin avon ct12, s10, etc
I recently just bought a size 2 gp-5 and ordered a modern russian filter along with it. Will I be okay?
If it is a modern Russian filter as you say, should be fine.
Weaponsandstuff93 Thank You.
Im back and i here to ask to someone who's better at knowing gas mask
I do have a PMG gas mask with a 40mm filter, but the mask is a bit yellow, how can i remove the yellow colouring?
You basically can't it's from UV exposure to the rubber.
Weaponsandstuff93 okay, thanks for the reply anyways
Is there a good place to buy S10 outserts like red or mirrored etc. I have looked online and can't find them anywhere. The only place I can find them is on eBay for £50. Is that a price to be expected or is it too expensive. Thanks
Im wondering the same thing outserts and flash hoods do seem alot on ebay, glad it was not just me who thought it.
Yeah the outserts are expensive due to their rarity.
Gloves, NI sytle great glove
Ah yeah I totally forgot about all my surplus gloves, cheers.
My riot cop gloves are really robust cold weather gloves.
Anyone hear water in the backround??
The fish tank.
oh, k
instagram.com/p/BmI3b8lAYPB/?igshid=1ap8f711nebz here's the pictures if the m40 sorry its pn instagram but you dont need one to view it
Yeah looks good
Weaponsandstuff93 so its relatable and all that
Any idea what's wrong with it other than the dented filter?
Weaponsandstuff93 it says it was left out on a hummvee and the lenses are broken and sand stained
You could probably fix them, but if it's cheap get it anyway, looks cool.
