- In this video, J.J. challenged two other F.T.F.’ers- Blackie Thomas and Mike Simmons to a post apocalyptic scavenging run in a military surplus store. With no warning or prep, these guys will have 15 minutes or less to put together a full kit to survive with. What would you grab if given the same opportunity?

Your exceptionally fortunate to have a surplus store like that near you. Im jealous
Absolutely!
💯 agree, the one near me is 🤏🏾
Agreed. They were everywhere when I was a kid. Now they’re kinda rare.
@@MikeSimmons923yep ~ lots of em’ & they had anything you wanted. That ship has sailed😕
yeah we had one but it closed..it sucks was a great source of cheap sturdy gear
Oh my gosh!!! THIS!!!! This is the best kind of informational content that us *newbies to the prep world* need and can utilize . A super budget-friendly way to get lots of useful survival gear. There's an Army Surplus store here in the Twin Cities (St. Paul, MN), that I have been in a couple times before. The last time was just after watching a few of Jason's "On 3" videos. I basically just walked through the store, looking at and taking everything in, because the store is so big and FULL of so many things. It was a bit daunting and overwhelming, to be honest. Now, after watching this video, I can go with a more focused approach as to the necessary and more critical, staple items to purchase. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU, SD!!! I am so happy and thankful I have become an SD Insider.
Rock on! Welcome to the Tribe!!! So glad you’re diggin’ it and we’re glad you like the content… Thanks for watching and for the positive support 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Nice seeing my buddy Blackie here! Thank you for all the great content!
You got it!
Poncho, Woobie, Sleeping pad, Paracord, Fero rod, arctic canteen w/cover, canteen cup, short machete, multi-tool, back pack M-65 jacket.
That’s a good haul!
1:33 That black foldable shovel, pick it up! it's much better than the ''serving spoon'' that you have in your truck, and it will last longer... I've got one just like it... I just cut it a bit and gave it a tip...
P.S. Both masters made great choices!... nothing I don't already have... [except the MREs ...]
I couldn’t help but point it out while they ran past it.. They were under pressure and I think they did great considering…
@@FueltheFires no mate... I was talking about you taking it for your truck... better than your little ''soup serving spoon''.. lol
@@user-McGiverI see said the blind spanking monkey 🙈
Good to see Blacky still around 👍
That arctic canteen looks cool. Never seen that one before 🤔😮
I hadn’t seen that one yet either- pretty impressive piece of kit!
So happy you made this video. Just ordered $200+ in gear from Kaufman's Army Surplus.
Fantastic gear selection.
Awesome!!! Thanks for watching 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Blackie Thomas on Survival Dispatch? We would like to see more of him on here if possible 👍
Blackie is part of FUEL the FIRES so you will!
i am happy to be a small part of the FTF group and will be happy to do future videos
I like the light concept but think missing food is an issue. The poncho and woobie with another item like a fleece or very light and small bag would be my choice. A good mid size knife and a folding saw with an E Tool or similar for prepping site and wood. Also neither had any first aid items. I would go with the pack. The canteens they chose especially with the 2 qt added was solid. Very fun to watch.
Great video JJ
Thanks 👊🏻
Wish I lived near a cool store like that
They’re great people. They’d be more than happy to ship to you. The phone number is on the sign at the beginning of the video.
Awesome video! Anyone else think that Blackie Thomas sounds like one of the characters from King of the Hill?
Haha- I will definitely have to tell him 😂
I miss great stores like this.
Man , I’ve never seen a military surplus that extensive.
Pretty sweet store FULL of good deals!
I love your surplus store.
Hey! I’ve been to that shop! It’s a good one!
Yes it is! They have GREAT prices in there 💪🏻
Great job guys
Thank you!
Man JJ, that store is awesome 😃, I would definitely have to go through the store to see what I would grab, might go overboard though.....🤣🤣🤣
It would be hard not to 😂
Would love to see a Surplus Store Fan Run giveaway and get a chance to win that sucker!!! If I won the lottery, I would buy out my local surplus store!!
That would be AWESOME!!!
I'd be a kid in a candy store. I recall growing up in Philly, I Goldbergs was our surplus store. I loved that place in the 80s/early 90s.
Wish we had surplus stores around here.
Been using surplus stores for gear my whole life- EXCELLENT resource if you have ‘em around.. Hate to hear you don’t… That’s a bummer!
I’ve never seen two men in an army surplus store move so fast or so decisive in my life.
Those guys know what’s up
Like kids in a candy store 😂😂
Middle age men at that too! We sure can move fast if things are free. lol
@@canadafree2087😂😂
Big fans of both. Great video thanks for sharing brother keep up the great work.
You got it 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Thank you so much for the support and encouragement! 🔥
I really like those arctic sleeping bags but without a truck to carry it, no thanks. So big and heavy.
Amen to that- imagine that thing wet!!!
Great vid guys ❤
Well now, I wish I knew all y'all were gonna be there, I live 16 miles from that location. Would have been nice to chat a while..
Me, I would grab a poncho, a "woobie" canteen with cup and pouch. Those MREs a ferrocerium rod, one of those Swiss army knives and a folding saw that I saw in that case.,paracord hanks, sleeping pad and a pack of socks and a back pack to carry it in and a shemagh.
For next time, we are always at the Blackie Thomas Gathering- both Spring and Fall(Geneva State Forest).. Maybe we can meet up next time! That’s a solid set of choices as well 👊🏻
Excellent choices! 🔥✌🏼🔥
Can we have some B-roll of you guys putting it all back? Bet it took more than 15 mins. lol For me it would be proper shelter and clothing, water and food. Of course a self-defense item but as long as I am fed and warm I can sleep anywhere. It is always good to know a head of time what you would need to grab. Also, in your BOB binder, keep a list of resources. For example, marine stores are a source of Green River and Mora knives here, one of the marine stores are also a source of lifeboat rations as well as lifeboat water.
It definitely took longer than 15 to put everything back 😂.. Those are great suggestions on your part as well 👊🏻
I would like to make a run thru that surplus store!, good video!
Really cool place- thankyou!
Ammo!!! All of it!!! I got the rest of what I need.
By God!
Miss it.
Love the collab with these guys!
Thanks! They’re full of experience and I took the opportunity to use that for this video 👍🏻
Thank you so much! 🔥✌🏼🔥
Great job gentlemen
Thank you!
Thanks for the support and encouragement! 🔥✌🏼🔥
I'm old now. I remember when military surplus was just that. Walk in, walk out like 1943 G.I.Joe. WITH the 1911 and/or .30 carbine. Helmets,can-tines,entrenching tool, K-bar, sack full of socks,camo-everything.Had SKS's in a barrel in the corner, cases of commie ammo cans stacked behind the counter, I miss the good old days, like 5-10 after Vietnam, 1980-85ish.
I bet that was something.. Wish I could have seen them like that
First up I'd grab a truck outside, then mahoosive trolley and fill it with MREs , and a NVG set up,if one available and some socks , as I have everything else already!!!!!
:)
Great challenge tho - place looks massive!!!! I'd get lost in there as we have far smaller business premises over here in UK
Love this video! Great job. Great group of guys! Does Mike have a TH-cam channel also?
Awesome video, I've got an Army Surplus store nearby and really enjoy browsing there. We would love to collaborate on some ham radio information for your viewers. It is the BEST comms option for survival situations 📻
Cool! 😎
I can smell the old Canvas from ARIZONA!
😂
Smells like old canvas and CS gas. Let the memories linger on. 😂😂
Great video brother. I would pick the helmet. According to Ron White there are 2 stages to emergency survival. Find the helmet and put on the helmet. 😂😂
Bahahahaha… good one! 😂
Y’all need to do more with these guys, and get Bear in there too!! And Alan!? Thank you
Great video, the gent with the longer beard had it. I figure he was going to forage for food and as he was pretty lean. it would a long time between feeds. He gets 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, and the other gent I give him 3⭐⭐⭐. He had the right ideas, but his gear was bulky. As we used to say in the battalion, Travel Light Freeze at Night.
Mike knows what he’s doing.. Blackie’s would do better up North in a colder climate
Thanks so much for your support and encouragement! 🔥✌🏼🔥
me in love with that surplus store. Ain't seen nuttin like that in quite some time.
Kauffman’s is an awesome place for gear!
They both had excellent choices. where do we find Mike at ? TAKE CARE..
Thank you so much! I’m on TH-cam and TikTok as Homemade Selfreliance 🔥✌🏼🔥
Thanks, I went to Subscribe. LOL TAKE CARE..@@MikeSimmons923
Mike (Homemade Self-Reliance) on YT and TikTok is a WEALTH of knowledge 🔥
That's for sure I haven't quit watchin since the wool wicking VID. TAKE CARE..@@FueltheFires
@@brushbum7508AWESOME!!!
Don't forget a file to sharpen the machetes.
Coffee or some kind of stimulant to stay awake when necessary
We had a TV program in the UK years ago called Supermarket Sweep (probably stolen from America 😁) this reminded me of that.
I’d grab Blackie and get him to do my shop for a few bottles of JD and some hot chocolate.
Bahahaha… That’s a good plan 😂
@@FueltheFires Alchyhole and smokes are good bargaining tools 😊
@@BourneOutsideAmen!
@@FueltheFires I’d definitely bargain with the smokes 🤮
But may hold onto the beers 🤣
@@BourneOutside😂
Now blackie should of had scav run scree for ya ..lol both great loads
👍
you guys are lucky, n stores in canada like that, or very few
We do have access to some really awesome resources here
I'm thinking of ordering the SS winter (wide mouth) canteen, but, does it fit the standard canteen cup and pouch?
It doesn’t fit but they do have a canteen cup that fits it and a carrier as well.. I was pretty impressed with it actually
Ok now the Minnesota version
That would be a good one ☝🏻
There’s so much Arctic gear at Kaufmans. It’s crazy cause it’s in south Alabama 😂
Where is this store??? They have everything
It’s in Alabama near Kinston
@@FueltheFires you lucky dog. I'm in Oregon about an hour from the ocean. We got a pretty good surplus but it's about 2 hours south of me
This place is literally 15 min from my house....lol
Is that K-Bar zombie rated?
It’s Zombie Green so you know it is 🤣
😂😂😂
Surplus stores near me are rude and extremely overpriced for stuff u can buy online for much cheaper
That’s too bad.. Might be a place to hit if the SHTF then
Looky there thems grown men actin all foolish like millennials in the electronics section of Walmart on Black Friday !!
😂
😂😂😂
15 mins after SHTF ......? How about you don't grab sh!t cause the owner has got the doors locked and is on the roof with a weapon telling you to go home! When he crap hits the fan you are most likely stuck with what ever you have on you when it happens! Having said that, this does not diminish the quality of your video ...just wanted to point out that if you are not ready before hand you are usually SOL.
This is true.. The thought is if you had the opportunity and the store had been looted etc..
JJ, where's your grab!? U want to know our grab, but where's yours? For me, it depends who is paying for what I grab...that ultimately is the kicker in my situation. If I had 15 minutes and $50,000 to spend then my choices would be different. If I had only $20, or if Blackie only had $20, then what would he have grabbed. It always happens when your least prepared..right... so week to week people.. say u don't have any money that week, then what do u buy in 15 minutes with $0..? Just saying.... alot..millions of people are living that scenario.. I know, save money, rebudget, etc... but what if your wife raped u in the divorce and took everything, all your preps, house, land, etc, your broke and boom shtf...15 minutes and $0..what do u grab?
I might just have to do a video doing this very challenge.. Of course, this is set up to be a scavenging expedition where money doesn’t matter- but I hear ya on the funds brother..
@FueltheFires that would be awesome! I hate to keep harping on us broke folks... but the rich will keep the rich ....rich, an the poor poor.. and being a single white man, with medical issues..paying for everything because the wife split an took everything... I know is an excuse but, I haven't recovered from that and being single and disabled, so paying all the bills by yourself, and more medical shit keeps happening faster than you can pay for it is pretty disheartening. But I live this country and what we STOOD for.. one man, especially disabled man can't do it alone even after working since I was 14. But life SUCKS, AND ITS SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST . WHICH I 💯 UNDERSTAND. BUT ITS SAD TO KILL THE ONES WITH THE KNOWLEDGE TO SURVIVE. BUT THATS LIFE. THANKS JJ. LIVE THE LIFE THAT MANY OTHERS WANT TO BUT GOD DECIDED TO HANDICAP ENOUGH NOT TO MAKE IT! OR DID HE? IS THERE A SURVIVAL PLAN FOR THE DISABLED...NO.. BECAUSE THEY DESERVE TO DIE? OK THEN, WHY NOT? JUST SAYING..YES, LOUDLY... BUT STILL NEEDS TO BE DISCUSSED. AND I KNOW DISPATCH SAYS SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST... I GET IT. BUT BE CAREFUL BECAUSE I MAY SUPRISE YALL!
@@jasongarling20Brother- we actually have a big place in our hearts at FTF for people in exactly your position… And I have NO DOUBT you can make “it” happen when you need to- no doubt
I don't need to grab ANYTHING, already all available at the ready when I need it!
You win TH-cam today 👊🏻
You need to buy all this stuff for these two guys and drop them off in the woods and then see what they will say they also needed.
That’s a GREAT idea!
They'll end up showing us that they had surplus!
