That's a well-organised, well-stocked military surplus store. Wish the ol' Larada's in Mesa, Arizona still existed. It was much like your excellent video of the Rockford facility. Yep, I could spend all morning or all afternoon there & come away wanting to return. I grew up in Belvidere, Illinois, but the city I called home has undergone a sizeable cultural change. Thx for sharing the tour. Many "shopping" videos are often difficult in which to remain interested, but yours had me wishing yours was much longer. Great job!

When I was a kid dad took me to one in our city all the time. We used to find all kinds of real military surplus from all over the world and from all eras, even some U.S. WW1 stuff. I recently went back to the same store a couple days ago and it was about 85% Chinese made rothco type junk and cheap fleamarket grade fantasy knives. It seems a lot of the surplus stores are going that way. I miss days of seeing 4x4x4 boxes full of helmets, another 4x4x4 size box full of pouches, another 4x4x4 box full of uniform pants and so on.

Grew up with a couple of Army surplus stores. One was in town, mostly surplus clothing and foot wear. Some gear etc. The second was favorite. Out by the edge of town. The smell of surplus canvas gear, canreens, all sorts of surplys stuff, folding shovels, helmet linere and one day had a new trash can filled with Italian carbines with folding bayonets. Actual real rifles. $1. 50 each. Gee how I wish I travel back in time. In Topeka Kansas found a trash can filled with " cos " thick coating 1917 Enfields $ 2.50 each.

You should have gone through much slower and shown more stuff. I enjoyed looking at such a nice surplus store. Here in NC ours are all ratty and way overpriced while the owners are usually cocky buttheads. Being an old jarhead, Nam era, I am constantly on the look for high quality stuff. I loved the pick/shovel combo from the mid 60's you showed. I would love to have one in that nice of condition. I used to use one when I went out gold prospecting out west. There used to be a rare folding shovel with the shovel and pick issued to the military. It was very short lived. I don't know if it was a special purpose unit or what. I would imagine if picking rock, damage to the screw mechanism might occur or damage somewhere else. It was great for leveraging items like doors, windows and etc. The type you picked up did a fair job at picking rock veins and mineral seams in hard rock. We Marines love our gear. I own almost all of the Becker knife models, they are superior to K-Bar and even made by K-Bar from a proprietary 1095 steel . Great combat, rescue, survival and utility knives. They are very reasonable in cost and can get you in and out of anything. It is said you can field strip an old Buick with one, especially the BK-2 knife ! Well, I hope you revisit the store with a more comprehensive video or videos and maybe old Dolph will let you video him for your audience, why he might even ask you to be in one of his movies. Semper Fi, do or die ! Aoorah or old school Arrugah !

no more surplus in northern cal. or even reno nv. to find such i would have to drive over 1000 miles. maybe far more. there are a couple shops but i can not call them surplus do to there pricing. bring your first born and a ton of cash. maybe even a couple body parts. just to buy a patch. uniforms are about $200USD ( shirt, pants, socks,etc)

Ahhh darn man...that's a shame. One day they will be nalatolgic. Ya some of the stores even this one are extremely overpriced, but then again I found a pair of east German pants dirt cheap and a USGI cild weather canteen cup. eBay can be even worse for prices. I mean people be selling like military jackets or rucksacks for extreme prices and then you might come across one in better shape and dirt cheap. Thanks for watching

I just loved the video! i wish there was a store like that in my area? What i dont get is why you said one day you will buy an MRE winter meal? For 30bucks for one meal? what are you going ot do with it since you one day will buy it? Save it in a display or eat it? If its eat it then why spend so much for one meal? I have some food put up for a rainy day but to spend that much on one MRE is nutz to me? Hel me understand? Other then that i loved the whoel video? DOnt mean to be an ass just curious?

Too bad it’s in a state I refuse to even drive through. My uncle lives in MO, and I live in TN. It’d be more convenient to drive through IL to visit, but I’d happily drive another hour just to avoid the state entirely (well, maybe 20 minutes, but you get my point). Still, it’s a shame.
