What Happened to Army Surplus Stores?

They used to have a lot of very cool shite in them. I used to buy most of my hunting stuff there during my childhood. Every town of any size used to have a store.
Does the army not have surplus items anymore?

They're called Army Surplus, but it's just a bunch of cheap Chinese crap masquerading as military surplus. We used to get this Vietnam-era bug juice from a surplus store in Vinton, LA, for hunting and fishing around Gum Cove. Deep Woods Off ain't got nothin' on this stuff.

It wasn't always like that.

There are still a ton of them outside the gates of most army posts. I imagine the internet killed a lot of the rest.

What happened to the prepper shows on TV?

Now we let the Iraqis and the afghans keep everything, and Gen X already bought everything leftover from Korea and Vietnam.

That stuff worked great but would strip the finish off a gun stock in a skinny minute.

Didn't you hear we don't even have enough munitions to battle Iran for a couple of months

Ranger Joe’s is all that you’ve ever needed when it comes to gear. If they don’t have it, do you really need it?
