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.

[@mixflip]

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.

[@Coridimus]

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

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.

[@mixflip]

Whats the best part of moving to Idaho?

[@Cabledeluz1977]

@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!

[@leobramel5345]

Love this store we go to yellow stone just so I can stop here for a hour or two .

[@TheAdventureCowboy]

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

[@mixflip]

I'm surprised you don't have one of these in Montana?

[@josephtobin3347]

I may just move to Idaho and become addicted to this store.

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

[@mixflip]

Probably because of the air gap...insulation.

[@camieparsons695]

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.

[@marciclark8266]

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...

[@mixflip]

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

[@marciclark8266]

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 😉

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!!!!
