I've been going to Omaha Surplus since the 70's. My late father had shopped there since the 60's. For decades the entrance faced White settlement road (between Rupert and Adolpho?) Now the entrance is on the backside of the building (I believe it's Whitmore street). 2 blocks East of Angelo's Barbecue (Also on White Settlement rd.) Most of my early camping gear, ROTC uniform extras including my entire Ranger Team camo's and beret. Many Coats and Jackets, BDU's, and misc trinkets (Junk) were purchased from Omaha Surplus throughout my lifetime. There was a time when there wasn't anything military surplus you couldn't find or order from there. Around 1983 - 84' It changed, It is not the same as it once was but it is still fun and interesting to visit and shop. The owner of Omaha Surplus was a leader in the opposition to the Panther Island development project and the purposed lake encroaching into the Linwood neighborhood and displacing iconic Fort Worth Businesses like Omaha Surplus, Angelo's BBQ and several other businesses on White Settlement road. That's my limited knowledge and personal experiences with Omaha Surplus over he years. Thanks for posting this video.
The army surplus store in Springfield Missouri closed a few years back and we do not have a replacement. Someone could do very well here if they would open one up. Zero competition.
Absolutely awesome. My dad used to take me there when yall faced 7th street. We would stop at Angelo's BBQ. That was 40 years ago. Me n my little brother had gotten custom dog tags from yall, I still have both sets . I live in Joshua these days. Man , I'm heading up there next weekend. Glad to see yall made a video.
Came here to say the exact same thing! We used to get BBQ at Angelo’s and my dad would turn us loose in the store. Still have an ammo can I bought there decades ago but I wish I hadn’t lost my dog tags. This was a pleasant surprise that popped up on TH-cam! I need to make a trip back over that way soon!
Supply and demand. I remember when 7th Light ( Ft. Ord) was deactivating, they were just throwing stuff away. Try Fed Surplus stores, sometimes they get the police hand me downs, which are mostly military hand me downs.
…yes I remember a time you could pick up stuff for next to nothing…could spend hours checking out stuff…like a kid in a candy store…in Hawaii none…gone…last one I went to laughed when asked if they had veteran discount…I’m an old Vietnam vet…figured no harm asking…lol
The prices here are as low as it gets. Most reasonable. I was thoughtlessly shopping here at closing time on a Friday 4th of July holiday forgetting the time and nobody said anything about closing time. As I was walking out they closed and locked the doors behind me. Really helpful nice professionals 🇺🇸
Then do multiple vids. He's right. It's too fast to get a feel for condition and price. Even stopping the vid, I couldn't focus on price tags. Sometimes you stated prices, but others, even though you looked, you didn't......? I appreciate the time taken, but beyond an overall impression of size of the place and volume of offerings, I got little information. If that's all you were going for, you succeeded, but I doubt I'm the only one wanting more. Have a good one.
Remember when you went to a military surplus store and it was just military surplus? No abundance of new clothing or a bunch of new hats, boots or backpacks you can get from a retail store. Prices used to be very reasonable, now days it’s like ‘really’?
Been there many, many times! Just down the street (Camp Bowie) is Angelo's BBQ. Coldest beer in Texas! Good, consistent BBQ too. Nice place to hang out. Omaha's still has a few treasurers but surplus stores today are not what they used to be. Still fun and something always follows me home.
I still remember the smell of walking into Omaha's when walking into there in the 1970's after having lunch at the Mexican Inn on Jacksboro Hwy when I was a working as a Tarrant County Deputy Sheriff.
@@Dano12345100 Omaha's still has two warehouses with boxes from WW2 never even been opened. I am going to make a video on this soon. It will blow minds. 😎
Thanks for the tour....It has been about 20 years since my last visit to this store. I had forgotten about how much cool stuff they had. (Prices are crazy on some of it - I still have 2 field jackets. The OD Green and the Woodland. I was active Army when they transitioned to the woodland uniforms. I think I saw on your video a tag for $99 and maybe a $49 one that was not in top shape)

there was an outfit called Fair Radio Sales that handled surplus military and industrial electronic gear. The radios carried on B 17 and B 24s were called Command sets, and were especially popular with licensed radio amateurs. Very small, lightweight and high quality, Using a receiver and transmitter from this series, a ham could send and receive Morse code world wide. Unfortunately Fair Radio has closed its doors last year......sigh.
LOL same here! Always an excuse to buy something new! Thanks for watching. More videos coming soon just like this and we head back to Omaha's again for a re-visit. 😎
Well I will say one thing that is a real surplus store that still has a lot old interested stuff to go with the newer stuff unlike a lot of the ones that only has uninteresting fairly new stuff and very little of anything of note.
If you are into rifle marksmanship, you can get WWII M1 Garand rifles, under the Civilian Marksmanship Program. They have competitions at Camp Perry in Ohio. And surplus 30 '06 ball ammo!
Back in the 80s or 90s there used to be a government property disposal open to the public near here. Just everything. Junk as well as treasure, not a typical surplus store. But one thing I remember is a huge box on a pallet filled up with black holsters for .45 autos and poking around in it to find nice ones.
My buddies and I used to go there all the time back in the ’80’s. Omaha had a lot more foriegn surplus back then. We would buy all kinds of crazy stuff. We bought some Portuguese Lizard camo because we thought it looked cool! I bought a complete set of ERDL cammies that I actually wore on AD in Panama. Man, the memories!
Yes the did, they are getting hard to find now and that is one of the reasons I am making this content. Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more content like this soon. 😎
Until just a few years ago, we had an army surplus store here in Springfield, Mo. When I was a kid, I used to love it. Our boy scout troop bought nearly all of its gear there. I remember that you could get a WWII backpack for 25 cents. Everything was cheap. I also got a helmet liner to use when we went caving. And we would just play "army" a lot. This is off topic, but a while back, some idiot on FB told me that a non-veteran who wore military garb or used the equipment was committing "stolen valor". I told him that was BS. What do you guys think?
I bought a 100 lb inert practice bomb there in the 1980s. I packaged it up in cardboard and checked it in as luggage on a return flight home. Pre TSA days when you could
I was in there a long time ago. I bought a 20MM dummy round. It looks like all the same stuff is still in there, but they can't sell much at the prices they have on stuff.
I’ve been going to Omahas since I was a little kid in the 00’s. They’re nice folks and I wanted to work there for a long time but nowadays I swear their stock just never seems to update. So much cool surplus available on various websites but at Omahas it’s just a few racks of uniforms, boots and sunrotten equipment. Not to say it isn’t worth checking out though, they deserve more visitors.
It has signs up, but if anything, now people can at least access the place! The city did them dirty for a long time, glad to see they are alive and well! Thanks for watching. 😎
Been shopping there a long time. Just recently picked up two jerry cans for my off-roading adventures. Great place to wander around and check out what's available.
Interesting how the prices have really increased along with the amount of “non military issue” military surplus. Funny that same ammo cans are $5 in Anchorage, $12 here and $15 in Minneapolis.
The flight helmets & oxygen masks are extremely rare now. Keep them. I have a complete setup from an F-16 fighter pilot. Need to do a video. Thanks for watching. 😎
@@brainyhead1 do they have a mail order , i have pic s of my dad with them on and it seems like a great idea to have the pockets on your upper thigh. my dad would say OD was the color. where is this place , state ? thanks for replying to my request.
😆 you passed by two practice booms( cant use the b in that word) but not the shelf of the $800 one that are online 😅. Those blue ones, one was above head and one was.
At 1:42 that used to be a dummy or blue tube mk-82 practice bomb we used for training missions in the US Navy on our f-18 hornets , Like to know the back story on it its for sure empty , The real ones weigh 500 lbs and cool little video !
Used to be a WAY better store. Everything in there used to actually be military surplus a place to find some real collectors treasures. Now there is a lot of crappy commercial BS you can find anywhere, knockoff Chinese made camo. Slowly going from high quality to run of the mill. Started when the son took over.
They still have a ton of Real ARMY Navy; they also bring in the new tactical gear to attract both kinds of crowds. Fun fact the Dad is still active in the business and they have a good amount of Surplus still left in a hidden warehouse. Thanks for watching! 😎
Nope! Nope! Nope! I can’t take it anymore! This place is killing with those great finds!! Halfway through I maxed out my credit card in my head lookin’ at all those things!! Man I miss those surplus stores - they had the best little knick knack one off thingamajig that ya had to have! I still have a lot of the stuff I bought as a kid in the 70-80s and I’m way much older now! NOS complete Vietnam era pieces I paid $1.98 for? and what they cost now! 😭 That store is a one stop shop place that I can spend a whole going through and then go back the next day and find more stuff “I missed!” I’d work there for stuff not a salary.
Suggest you improve your video technique. Walking through doesn't give the viewer a chance to see what's being discussed, unless you run this video at 25%, but even then the camera is not on the item.
Your video is all but unwatchable! You're moving too fast and jerking the camera around so that the images are often blurred, to the point of making me dizzy !
Ft. Worth, Texas is the home of the John Wayne Museum is my guess. I do understand and respect this point of view. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more military surplus tours. 😎 God bless our troops!!!
I guess I could say my dad took his place,left for bootcamp the day after his 18th birthday. He did not have an enjoyable experience and he was out in less than two years, but it hadn't been for working for humble oil and refining he would have been in Korea.

Hell, yer just wandering aimlessly going thru areas you already been thru.
Thanks for watching, trying to give the viewers a solid overview of the store. 😎
Nope! Nope! Nope! I can’t take it anymore! This place is killing with those great finds!! Halfway through I maxed out my credit card in my head lookin’ at all those things!!
Man I miss those surplus stores - they had the best little knick knack one off thingamajig that ya had to have!
I still have a lot of the stuff I bought as a kid in the 70-80s and I’m way much older now! NOS complete Vietnam era pieces I paid $1.98 for? and what they cost now! 😭
That store is a one stop shop place that I can spend a whole going through and then go back the next day and find more stuff “I missed!”
I’d work there for stuff not a salary.
I buy something every time I go... 🤑More videos of this place & others coming soon.
Us New York folk are banned from having fun.
LOL, still some good Surplus in NY I see. May go shoot some videos soon! Thanks for watching! 😎
Willing to bet all winter wear is sold out😊
@@markmorgan3091 they always have a stock pile
If you look at a price tag , please say that it is .
10-4 😎
Yes, please slow down, I can’t watch, I’m out after 3 minutes
Thanks for watching. Will slow down on future vids as this was a general overview of the whole store. 😎
cool but not many bargains there
Not many stores like this left. 😎 They have to pay employees and run a business that turns a Profit. Thanks for watching.
Suggest you improve your video technique. Walking through doesn't give the viewer a chance to see what's being discussed, unless you run this video at 25%, but even then the camera is not on the item.
Thanks for watching, I will try to improve for the next one.
Esse é o verdadeiro paraíso!
yes it is.😎
I can almost smell that smell.... I do need some new camos,,,
Let's goooo!!! 😎 thanks for wathing!
Too fast for me.
Thanks for watching. I will have a slower store tour up in multiple parts soon. Check back. 😎
Anything cool in there?
I sure think so! Thanks for watching!!! 😎
Just enlist and you get paid to wear this stuff....
Great point thanks for watching! 😎
Your video is all but unwatchable! You're moving too fast and jerking the camera around so that the images are often blurred, to the point of making me dizzy !
I appreciate your feedback and will be sure to slow down my pacing and camera movements in future videos!
Just subbed and almost got sea sick watching...may reconsider next video
Thanks for watching.
👋🏼

Thanks for watching! 😎
Nothing new ,just a bunch of old crap ,way over priced !!!!!
Thanks for watching! Have a great day. 😬
Why does a Military Surplus Store have a picture of John Wayne a WW2 draft dodger on display?
Ft. Worth, Texas is the home of the John Wayne Museum is my guess. I do understand and respect this point of view. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more military surplus tours. 😎 God bless our troops!!!
He didn't dodge, he couldn't get out of a contract and didn't have the money to buy out,he tried.
I guess I could say my dad took his place,left for bootcamp the day after his 18th birthday. He did not have an enjoyable experience and he was out in less than two years, but it hadn't been for working for humble oil and refining he would have been in Korea.
@@kennardjohnson7875 Thanks for the post good information! 😎
