    I'm a 32 year old black woman who loves camping and hiking and making sure my family bug out bags are up to date with everything in them but my family members think I'm crazy they love to throw out that WE DON'T DO THAT phrase and I always look at them like ( ok what are you preparing for because my ammo and food will not be for you ) they say I'm rude for saying that because family should stick together but they still think I'm crazy for have bug out bags and chemical safety things at the ready for my children and husband. We are a military family so that's why they think I'm like this but in my bones I feel S will HTF soon. I love watching your channel because y'all give so much information that's very important to have.

    Got a surplus shovel from the 1950s in the car (Swiss Military). The people who manufactured it would be impressed to know it is still digging fire and bathroom pits in 2024. Also got un-stuck in the snow twice with it

    Dave just wanted to say thank you for helping me make my family prepared with your videos and your store.

    I have so many survivors kits my truck will struggle to carry it all... so I decided to burry cashes in secluded locations that I can get to. on foot and keep me going 💪💪💪
  • @renegadearms
    Another very good piece of kit is the medium ruck, it was my favorite pack that was issued to me over my 21 years from 03'-24' before I retired.

    I can’t wait to see what he lists.
  • Great video Brother Dave. I didn’t think of using my 2 quart canteen how you recommended it, but I will now. Thanks again Brother.
  • @mrkultra1655
    Thanks Dave. Get stuff while you can. The D.O.D. recently changed how it’s dealing with surplus goods. Ammo cans are no longer going to be sold of to the civilian market anymore. Who knows what’s next.
  • @xingmenneigong
    I like the multicam pattern for Australia, fits perfectly. thanks for the vid
  • As always very instructional show, thank you for keeping it clean so I can watch you with my family, have a wonderful day Sir.
  • Agree, very useful and durable stuff. Waiting for the next video Dave

    Good video, I've been using military surplus since I was 10, I started with some m81 bdu trousers and a m81 field jacket. 👍 Love the NBC compression sacks, I use them for everything from NBC suit, gortex rain suit, poncho and liner etc.
  • @richstone2627
    I bet I have and use all the surplus you're going to show. It's good stuff that works and inexpensive compared to hipster, commercial gear. M81 is coming to an end but the ugly ACU can be dyed with rit dye to different shades of brown and green and works good. Thank you for all you do Dave.

    I literally just posted my 2qt desert canteen/cover combo on my group along with my dozen year old M81 waist pack. I love the 2qt canteen for field work (tree work, site work, etc...). I used to have the MOLLE II Patrol Pack too. I keep a Vietnam-era E-Tool in my truck
  • @garageman_
    Great video as always Dave. I bought the same M81 Scout pack probably 12 or so years ago based off of your recommendation in one of your videos and it has been my favorite pack ever since.
  • @Keithjmcc
    Good video thanks man. The surplus shops are drying up around my area but I’ve been collecting for years. The kids growing up, got kick out of having surplus backpacks and jackets, sleeping bag rolls etc.
