I was there in 2010. They made me a dog tag with my blood type and accident contact info on it. Riding alone on a motorcycle to Arizona made it seem like a good idea.
Been going there since before the current venue was build and it was run from an old warehouse in the middle of town. I recommend it to anyone passing through.
I lived in Shelly for about two years and went there often. My husband was the one who wanted to go but we were newlyweds and went everywhere together. Then I discovered that there was a small lady's area. It's kinda like a small boutique.
I live fairly close to Idaho Falls. I stopped at this store. I found a treasure. An Army coat that turned into a tent. Gather large sticks, take coat off. Unbutton the buttons inside coat and pull out. Ready in minutes for a sheltered nights sleep here in the Idaho Rockies.
YEAH! We go through Yellowstone almost every year on vacation. I have been there several times! Will go again, too! And we always stop in at Cabela's in Post Falls. And YES! I LUST after that half track every time I go in!
Thanks so much for the heads up, Brother! I never knew, but will definitely drop in next time I’m down that way, from The Panhandle- hopefully on my way to The Henry’s for those Cutty-Brown-Bows!
After years of driving past this place on numerous road trips from Alberta CA, I finally stopped last summer. What an awesome place. I will definitely be going back.
@mixflip I’m originally from Portland, Oregon. I was medically retired from the Army. My wife is from Preston, Idaho, the same place where they made the movie Napoleon Dynamite. That place is about 1 1/2 hours south of where we live. We were kinda familiar with this area. So to answer your question; we purchased 4 acres! I love my space out here! We live 2 1/2 hours from Yellowstone, an hour from Craters of the Moon, close to Island Park and other outdoor activities! You just can’t beat it!
I sometimes go in there to get MREs for hunting season. There's almost too much stuff..to the point where you look at a gazillion items and then walk out without buying hardly anything because you're overwhelmed with all of the things you COULD buy. lol
Did that place used to be an older bldg? Seems like It was to me, I went on a Household Goods Big Move from Denver to Yellowstone area and remember the biggest Surplus Store I had Been in. I think it was this one!! Used to run 48 States, Private and Gov't Military Personel. Went to Surplus Store all over lower 48 and even Alaska. This one one definitly reminds me of the biggest and best I ever got to stop and check out. Going to PacNorWest this summer! Will swing by with CASH!!!!
My wife would be in there with me for maybe five minutes and go back to the truck and be on her phone... When I get back with some items, She'd be rolling her eyes.. Hahahah. Cool upload Battle.
Oh, I also have those air snowboots. My son- in- law told me about 5hem. I live in the snowy cold Idaho weather and these boots keep your feet warmer than any boot I have ever tried. They are weird cuz they are rubber. I don't get the science behind it, all I know is they work. Thanks for the tour. It was fun. Now ai got to go shopping. Lol
Hahaha. I live in Blackfoot. One of my favorite stores. I have had the camo netting for about 3 years and you just showed me how to keep it from sagging with the poles u pointed out. THANK YOU!!!
Poky is my home town, I lived there for Over 50 years. Most unfortunate about what happened to Poky it was a Great place back in the day, but I would rather be where I am now.
It's been a few years since I went there while I was working in Idaho falls... Need to make a road trip to go there again with a shopping list! I got a fake grenade and some souvenir stuff when I went there last.
I’ve ordered several things from their website. My things were shipped fast from Idaho to Georgia. I’ve never had any bad experiences from them. I was their website had more things listed knowing now they are the largest Army surplus store.
I used to work in Poky, I F, and all over in that area burying fiber optics for Marvin Hatch (HatchCo, shout out) and one of my favorite things about this place was being able to wear my work gear and not get treated different because I was a girl covered in dirt with pockets full of tools. I LOVED buying little bottles of Tabasco, etc to change up my lunches and my husband had a thing for certain flavors of MRE's (former Nat Guard) Thanks for the trip down memory lane ☺ We're in North Dakota now...
We love the Medora area...not sure about where to camp on the western side where we live but there are air bnb places by Medora and it's a vintage little old west town with shops, restaurants etc. There's a mini playground town perfect for kiddie pics and a show called Musical Medora that's famous. Horseback riding available. In the Teddy Roosevelt National Park. Really cool geological pic opportunities with boulders that are spherical, tons of buffalo (lol). And at dusk the Badlands scenic views right off the freeway is red/gold fire spires that look like John Wayne might be riding out any time. In Dickinson about 30 minutes east there's a dinosaur museum and a smaller water park w/lazy river and 2 waterslides. Try Sanford's Pub and Grub for lunch/dinner, nostalgic fun place w/great menu. I LOVE the catfish dinner....yummy! Hope you enjoy the trip 😊 Too bad you can't bring me some Pocatello Butterburr's when you come, really miss that place 😉
@@mixflip thank you , i will have to contact them i like the camper Truck Combo . p/s keep the videos coming great work. and Thank you for your service.
Omgosh...! Where have you been? I thought, you just stopped making videos. I’ve remained subbed but wow, how your channel has grown. Congrats! Stoked to catch up on months of vids. YT turns off my notifications. Stay lifted. Much Aloha-Marie 🤙🏼💯
mixflip Lol !! 😂 Looking forward to catching up on vids. I’ll be sure, to check in every so often due to notification glitches. It has been rough. Last, I re-call you were in NV, can’t imagine. Stay safe!! God bless-Marie
You spent way too much time with that Chet Carson guy. He is obviously a TROLL, and just wants to pick a fight. Your videos are great to watch and if you do make some change, fine!! Thanks for teaching me a new word : e-beg. Cute. Carry on!
I was there in 2010. They made me a dog tag with my blood type and accident contact info on it. Riding alone on a motorcycle to Arizona made it seem like a good idea.
Get a meat tag tattoo on your ribcage area. No matter what happens your torso usually can be identified. Marines uses to get them back in the day.
I live in Idaho falls love that store.
Same ❤️
Me too🤘
Me, too!
I remember when it was 1st in business. It has definitely modernized.
Same!
Been going there since before the current venue was build and it was run from an old warehouse in the middle of town.
I recommend it to anyone passing through.
I want to sfop by again when we go back to Yellowstone
My two favorite stores: Toys R Us and any military surplus store. I am a man, I can't help it!
Thanks I’ve driven by that so many times and never stopped. Wanted to, now I know what I’ve been missing.
Thanks for watching.
I lived in Shelly for about two years and went there often. My husband was the one who wanted to go but we were newlyweds and went everywhere together.
Then I discovered that there was a small lady's area. It's kinda like a small boutique.
I tell all my family to stop when they come through! Glad you stopped by.
I live fairly close to Idaho Falls. I stopped at this store. I found a treasure. An Army coat that turned into a tent. Gather large sticks, take coat off. Unbutton the buttons inside coat and pull out. Ready in minutes for a sheltered nights sleep here in the Idaho Rockies.
I've never heard of that jacket. Sounds good.
Probably Russian or Polish issue "Plat Palashka".
YEAH! We go through Yellowstone almost every year on vacation. I have been there several times! Will go again, too! And we always stop in at Cabela's in Post Falls. And YES! I LUST after that half track every time I go in!

Love a good surplus store
I did a video like this in Pomona Ca and Aloha Oregon. Its always fun to visit these places.
Always loved going in that store as a kid growing up. So much cool stuff! Still go there once in a while.
What a great road trip idea. Biggest and Best Army-Navy stores in the USA. Maybe it will be something I can do after retirement.
After years of driving past this place on numerous road trips from Alberta CA, I finally stopped last summer. What an awesome place. I will definitely be going back.
When your in Idaho on your way to Armageddon, your one stop shop! 👍
More like on hour way OUT of a shithole metropolis....heading into the mountains!
If you are in Ogden Utah, check out Smith and Edwards. They have given up a lot of the Army surplus but still sell tents. Big place.
My family and I moved almost 4 years ago about 25 minutes south of this place. I’ve been in here a few times. It’s a pretty cool place!
Whats the best part of moving to Idaho?

Awesome store, been going there for years! When you go there, ask for Jim, he's a good 'ol boy and will make you laugh your ass off.
fyi don't get a double sleeping bag. it won't fit in a washing machine. just zip two singles together and you can wash each separately.
Interesting. I did not know that. Thanks
I sometimes go in there to get MREs for hunting season. There's almost too much stuff..to the point where you look at a gazillion items and then walk out without buying hardly anything because you're overwhelmed with all of the things you COULD buy. lol
I'm surprised you don't have one of these in Montana?
Right next to where I grew up! I love that store!
If I lived in Idaho falls I'd be in Yellowstone alot!
@@mixflip I live in Idaho falls and there's too many tourists to deal with in Yellowstone!
@@clydeacor1911 covid19 cleared up the park pretty 👍

Thats exactly what my wife did that day!
I dont think my wife went in with me...
Wives will be obsolete soon.
@@Yugetubes I haven't learned my lesson. I'm on my second and she's younger.
@@mixflip there's gotta be a wife hotline and emergency site.
Thank you for sharing! A great video!
Thanks for watching.
Oh, I also have those air snowboots. My son- in- law told me about 5hem. I live in the snowy cold Idaho weather and these boots keep your feet warmer than any boot I have ever tried. They are weird cuz they are rubber. I don't get the science behind it, all I know is they work. Thanks for the tour. It was fun. Now ai got to go shopping. Lol
Probably because of the air gap...insulation.
It’s big for sure. But check out smith and Edwards, it’s not to far past the Willard bay port of entry. Huge store
truck stop right across the street has awesome food
I need to come on out there and check this store out
Do it. Its a fun place.
Great! Thanks.
Thanks for watching
@@mixflip Keep up the great videos!! YW
...cold weather boots...In Alaska we always called them bunny boots. When they're inflated they look like bugs bunny. But they can't be beat.
We used to call them Mickey Mouse boots
Hahaha. I live in Blackfoot. One of my favorite stores. I have had the camo netting for about 3 years and you just showed me how to keep it from sagging with the poles u pointed out. THANK YOU!!!
Thanks for watching
Ive only been at that store one time. I'm from Pocatello..
Poky is my home town, I lived there for Over 50 years.
Most unfortunate about what happened to Poky it was a Great place back in the day, but I would rather be where I am now.
I may just move to Idaho and become addicted to this store.
Idaho falls here! Love that army surplus store
Love this store we go to yellow stone just so I can stop here for a hour or two .

It's been a few years since I went there while I was working in Idaho falls... Need to make a road trip to go there again with a shopping list! I got a fake grenade and some souvenir stuff when I went there last.
Did you get a real grenade but one that has been decommissioned?
@@mixflip I'll have to check

Dang!!
I wish I lived a little closer,
Yup, I live in the Central Mountains.
I live in Idaho Falls and love this place. My wife hates it when I go there. :)
Thanks for the video! 👍. I appreciate all your walk arounds showing what’s out there and the options.
Thanks for watching
#mixflip i usually quietly lurk, but I didn’t care for some other inaccurate comments on this video. Wanted add back some positivity, keep it up!
I used to work in Poky, I F, and all over in that area burying fiber optics for Marvin Hatch (HatchCo, shout out) and one of my favorite things about this place was being able to wear my work gear and not get treated different because I was a girl covered in dirt with pockets full of tools.

North Dakota is on our list of states to visit next. Where do you recommend we camp in N. Dakota?

Aye I live south of there and have been there tons of times. It's a great store!!
Thanks for watching
I was there in 9/20. The place is great
I used to go there when it was in town behind Smittys
Having been in there, I am amazed that you made it look bright. The lighting is more cave like than it looks in the video.
I didn't edit the video so they must have upgraded their lights?
@@mixflip they also changed their layout slightly from last year so maybe they did upgrade other things as well.
Yo I live just a few miles from there. They actually store a ton of excess stuff in Shelley at the old sugar beat factory.
i wish hawaii oahu honolulu would have this kind stuff medic kit n rvan ruck sack outstanding video bro
We were there on our road trip from Vegas to Yellowstone last year. If I didn't have the wife in tow, I would've been there the whole day.
Ive been there it was a cool Store... the first Smith and Edwards in Utah might be bigger / better
Robert Dunn Smith and Edwards isn’t really a surplus store anymore. They have a lot of stuff but not much surplus anymore.
@@charliegijones yah they had to clean up the yard...
Do they have WW2 field uniform gear? Pants,tops,web gear,half shoe's,leggings?
Good video bro. Its a cool place.
Thanks for watching
You missed the outside part of it. On the side of the building by I-15
I saw that when we left. I will have to make a part 2 video next year.
We go here all the time, it's one of our favorite stores. We live in Idaho falls
Thanks for watching
I love thos place I go all the time
Nice.
Thanks for watching
Do they have a website?
Yes they do.
Have been there, cool store
Thanks for watching
Difintely will Stop to Buy 🚙👍😎
Delk's Army-Navy Surplus Store in Asheville NC is 5xs larger! Like 3 acres , otherwise Russia is the largest “surplus” store in itself lol
I believe its in Asheboro, not Asheville?
MrWinger1951 you are correct !
Lol crazy im from IF and interesting to see this in my recommendations
Where is IF?
@@mixflip oh lol IF is what people call Idaho Falls
I know you are borrowing that Ram and what a sweet truck it is , do you know if four wheeler is selling the hole set up Truck and camper.
I think they are open to offers. It was a sema build a few years ago for AEV. They are building an F250 show truck to replace the Ram.
@@mixflip thank you , i will have to contact them i like the camper Truck Combo . p/s keep the videos coming great work. and Thank you for your service.
I pass this on my way to and from work and I’ve only been in there twice 😂
Idaho has some nice country.
It was a really good story years ago but now they take stuff piece it apart charging more money.
I live near there!!!! It’s definitely a cool store 😊
Thanks for watching

@@SweetMariehoneybee0933 I am in the Reno area now. I was in Vegas. Thanks for watching
mixflip Oh.. Reno, not so far from Tahoe. TY, for the content & keep safe!
Looks awesome. What is your opinion on the prices.
Prices didn't seem over priced considering alot of the stuff is big and bulky and would cost alot to ship if you ordered on line.
This place is pretty cool to check out I've been here many times and was one of my first videos 😂 but no sound.
Thanks for watching.
What truck are you buying? I want that
3500 Cummins!!!!
I'm probably going to wait a few months and see what the new tundra looks like.
Live there, sweet store. Thats where 90% of my high-school pay checks went lol
Lol....
Yup just like everyone else in the comments I go to this store too much
Thanks for watching
Its weird seeing a store I've been to a lot on TH-cam
Indeed

They should trim the trees lol

No guns for sale?
