Their Surplus isn't what's impressive, it's your knowledge and ability to identify everything and what it's used as, that's impressive to me. Followed you for about 6 years now. Hope you're feeling 100%. Love you brother, keep chuggin'!!
50 years ago my mother used to take me to an army and navy surplus store. Used to get everything for school which was cheap and hard wearing. After a couple of years I said mum I don’t want to wear anything from the army and navy surplus store, she said why, I said I’m sick and tired going to school as a Japanese general
I can remember buying pants for $3 at the surplus store in Colorado Springs. Had two pairs of them in my backpack and one pair that i wore when i lived out of my backpack for a few months. It was fun doing laundry every three days.
Wow, Blackie. Those are some very good prices. I can't find anything at a Surplus Store where I live for those prices. Thanks for Sharing and Stay Safe.
So glad to see you out and about at the surplus store. man I'd love to have a good surplus store close by. Koffmans is looking good these days and so are you my friend. It's probably good there aren't any surplus stores like that around here cause I'd spend way too much time and money there. I do wish they had a catalog though. Thanks for sharing this video with us. Take care of yourself and God bless.
Blackie, these video walk-throughs are some of my favourite videos. I noticed this time that it appears that the store seems to be more tidier than usual. Still jealous that you have such a fine store near you.
Nice tour. Those heavy tow straps or tie downs can be turned into a nice machete sheath. One guy seals the cracks around his shop doors for winter with them.
The south seems to be where all the surplus ended up. I live in the north east and there used to be a few but all of them are gone now. Shame. Thanks for sharing!
First, glad to see you feeling up to making a visit. Second, you can bet the phone there got busy minutes after you posted this video. I took another USPS delivery from Kaufman's today, quality gear, good prices, reliable service and fast shipping. Beats any store around here.
We went to PCB a couple of years ago and stopped there on the way home to TN. A very fun surplus store experience, and a nice ride back through the south AL countryside. If we ever go back to the panhandle, we will definitely stop back by there again.
That shop is awesome...id be bankrupt if i ever got there...i still have a lot of my SADF gear...good stuff..tough as hell...especially the trousers whick im still wearing from time to time...40 years later...my wife is taking me to the overcoat shop next week to buy myself a christmas pressy....they got a huge selection of various military coats and jackets...ive alteady got a good collection...bit one more really cool one will do no harm..
Looks like I am going to have to go back and find the video where you put the phone number. I need a to pick up an E-tool, military poncho (everyone I find is a replica made in China, exactly what I don't want.), some clothing. Although I am not sure if it should be poly or waffle or what. Still trying to learn. Thanks for the video, keep on going. I love all videos Blackie Thomas does. Glad to see you are recovering. Take care of yourself.
Much like them sending all the cold weather gear to Alabama, here in Australia I found a stash of US Army wool shirts and wool sweaters in Darwin! Darwin is the tropics!!!
Oh Blackie, PLEASE slow down moving back and forth with the camera.I want to watch. You're making my stomach flip. I Hope You Have a Better Day, Boscawen,NH
Much of the military surplus, even the arctic gear, may end up in the South because its milder winters make the region better suited for training bases. (No sane person wants to go through basic training in a Maine winter.) As a result, the gear ends up there and is sold locally.

Got to love a good military surplus store. You can find something cool to buy nearly every time you visit one.
My kinda surplus store..thanks for sharing Blackie 👍🍻
Blackie, thanks for the short tour.. you just keep getting better.
Appreciate it
Blackie, it's good to hear you sounding so much better. Hang in there, my friend.
50 years ago my mother used to take me to an army and navy surplus store. Used to get everything for school which was cheap and hard wearing.

Great to see you up and around Blackie . Always enjoy a trip to the surplus store.
Happy to see that you're looking very well, Blackie!
I could spend a month and a lot of money rummaging through that store. Thanks for the tour Blackie
Blackie, you’re lovin’ livin’; glad to see it. All the best and take care of yourself.
Hi Blackie! Every time you show off Kaufman's I am tempted to drive a thousand miles to check it out! Be well, friend.
Great stuff, Blackie. Always enjoy going to the surplus store. 👍
Bless you Blackie and so very glad you are recovering so well. That looks like a very nice and a well stocked Surplus Store. Take care ...
Thanks so much
that shop is like a candy store to me Sir, im glad you doing so well, take care and God bless you
I know he's told us before, but what was the name of the shop? I'm considering a road trip to go visit it.
I can remember buying pants for $3 at the surplus store in Colorado Springs. Had two pairs of them in my backpack and one pair that i wore when i lived out of my backpack for a few months. It was fun doing laundry every three days.
That place is so awesome! I would truly enjoy spending some time in there. Good luck on the hunt brother. Stay warm out there!
Wow, Blackie. Those are some very good prices. I can't find anything at a Surplus Store where I live for those prices. Thanks for Sharing and Stay Safe.
give the ladies a call at 334 -898-1770 they will ship
Ty Blackie, Great to see what the surplus stove has today
Ain't no such thing as a quick trip through a surplus store for me. Lookin' Good Blackie.

I always enjoy whenever Blackie or Bear takes us to the surplus store
thanks for watching
Thanks for the video, Blackie! Some of the camo looks like German flecktarn.
Blackie, these video walk-throughs are some of my favourite videos. I noticed this time that it appears that the store seems to be more tidier than usual. Still jealous that you have such a fine store near you.
Yeah it's been tidied up a bit lately they do a good job in there
Wow!
I could spend a wheelbarrow full pile of cash there. N.p.
You're in my prayers brother..
Brings back fond surplus store rummaging memories, I can smell that store from the uk.
Nice tour. Those heavy tow straps or tie downs can be turned into a nice machete sheath. One guy seals the cracks around his shop doors for winter with them.
I’ve seen those straps used for a bunch of different things.
Machete sheaths. There's a idea. I'll be doing that.
Looks like you're doing much better.👍😁
feeling much better
Man, that is a cool Surplus Store.
I would love to see you do a "Bushcraft" Hardware store walkthrough.... what good and useful stuff you pick up
Thanks Sir Blackie 👍👍👍 lots of neat merchandise 👌
Nice to have such a great store close by. Here in Malta, there isn't any. Just an online great store way up in Helsinki, Finland.
What a awesome store Blackie thanks for the video.
Thanks Blackie! Nice of you to bring us along. I can't go into a place like that with more than about $100 cash - no credit cards. I might be tempted!
Thanks for the great video Sir. Awesome!
The south seems to be where all the surplus ended up. I live in the north east and there used to be a few but all of them are gone now. Shame. Thanks for sharing!
Wish we had a surplus stor like that around here

We had a surplus store that was in business for MANY years, but finally closed the doors maybe 15 year ago. No other ones around.
I love that store, and I wish I could go there. Great video, Blackie!
Good tour, Blackie, thanks for sharing, YAH bless !
glad to do it
You sure have some nice stores there…up in Michigan they all about closed down. Have fun stay safe.
Yeah it is hard to find surplus stores anymore
That place is great, wish it was close to me. Great video Blackie.
Hey Blackie I just got signed up for the hunter safety class where I live!!
I love them stories. I wish we had more of them.
give the ladies a call they may have something your looking for and best of all they will ship 334 -898-1770
Blackie, where is this store located at.
Looking forward to the pouch video. I am a bit of a pouch junkie.
Always fun. Appreciate
Good video, take care and stay safe and warm
Dang,, I wish I lived closer to there!!
So glad you’re doing good👊
Hi Blackie good luck hunting.
I wish we had a good surplus store around here.
I can literally smell this video....something so distinctive about mil-surp items in a warehouse
I could spend hours there cool place
Tell him gorgeous, looking, ladies down there.I'll be ordering some t shirts from them
will do
Good luck on your hunt be safe.
Blackie; i could've missed it. But... please advise this army/navy store and town please. Want to make it a road travel stop next time through.
Same here please let me know which town ,state,and name of store and hours and phone number thank you
Where is this store?
Where in Alabama is this surplus store im right door to Florence Alabama
On point, as always Blackie! Been looking for that SADF Grootsak for awhile now, just picked up their reproduction. Thanks Blackie!
Cool store Blackie
Love the surplus!
I wish we had this here! I used to go to these stores when they were around in the 'Day.'
Looking good Blackie. Glad you are up and about! ATB - Stan
You can always find something that you can’t live without in a surplus store . God Bless
We went to PCB a couple of years ago and stopped there on the way home to TN. A very fun surplus store experience, and a nice ride back through the south AL countryside. If we ever go back to the panhandle, we will definitely stop back by there again.
Nothing like that surplus store smell! 😅
Not all surplus stores are created equal. That one there I could go broke in.
Thank you Blackie for the walk through.
glad to do it
Glad to see your feeling better . Do they have a web site?
brilliant vid love the surplus stores
That’s an Awesome surplus store. The drive is a bit long, 21 hours if I don’t stop anywhere 😂. Maybe someday.
Thanks take care , sir.
you to
I been meaning to go to my local store. I haven't been there in years. Will you do some more talks on your BP revolvers?
Location????
Cool 😎
Hope you are feeling better.
All our stuff here is high $ in SW Virginia. I would love a store like yours here
Thank you for the walk thru!
Where is this store located?
Thanks for the video. Please give address of store.
That shop is awesome...id be bankrupt if i ever got there...i still have a lot of my SADF gear...good stuff..tough as hell...especially the trousers whick im still wearing from time to time...40 years later...my wife is taking me to the overcoat shop next week to buy myself a christmas pressy....they got a huge selection of various military coats and jackets...ive alteady got a good collection...bit one more really cool one will do no harm..
Places like this are sanctuaries for us surplus goblins
i agree
I need to go there onw day, or maybe not. I can't afford going there...but they got a lot of stuff.
lol yea i suffer from the same problem
Looks like I am going to have to go back and find the video where you put the phone number. I need a to pick up an E-tool, military poncho (everyone I find is a replica made in China, exactly what I don't want.), some clothing. Although I am not sure if it should be poly or waffle or what. Still trying to learn.
Thanks for the video, keep on going.
I love all videos Blackie Thomas does. Glad to see you are recovering. Take care of yourself.
Looks like an adult in person version of the sears catalog... LMAO
lol pretty close
@BLACKIETHOMAS I figured you'd get a kick out of that reference lol
👍
goedenavond Blackie 👍
thank you
Was about to buy some US brown t shirts, while pawing through them, discovered several had lice in/on them. Genuine surplus.
Blackie did you happen to remember how much those "big bags" were? I know they're USMC dry bags lol.
i think it was 15 bucks something like that
@BLACKIETHOMAS nice, thats a good price. I'll have to give them a call, glad to see you're doing better. I knew you would 👍💪.
my only draw back on visiting my local store is the hour drive each way.
A bentwood rocker at 7:15. They aren't made anymore or I just can't find it. If you need to rock the grandchildren, this the one.
Much like them sending all the cold weather gear to Alabama, here in Australia I found a stash of US Army wool shirts and wool sweaters in Darwin!
Darwin is the tropics!!!
The army has some odd places to stash stuff.
@BLACKIETHOMAS works out for us though! Finding US Wool shirts in wearable sizes is impossible otherwise!
Hmmm.....where's this store?
Oh Blackie, PLEASE slow down moving back and forth with the camera.I want to watch. You're making my stomach flip. I Hope You Have a Better Day, Boscawen,NH
I wish they had a store here in Savannah GA but they are on eBay which is better cause I would need a pickup truck if they had a store here
its an awesome place
THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where in Alabama is this?
Hey Blackie glad you getting around brother, is that the Kaufmans in Samson
