Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything.

That's killdozer level of anger

Chinks get savage sometimes

A Chinese farmer has built his own rocket artillery system to fight back against state-enforced demolition

Bought a used CVA .50 cal from the spares bin

Gonna chop it down to 10" and break my wrist

SLAV GEAR BEST GEAR REEEEEEE

What a fag

Lmao bitch ass

Wish . com Camo came in

and?

Is about what you would expect, will post picture in a minute

nice atacs

Kind of a knock off of what U.S uniforms are, some zippers are substituted with velcro, fabric isn't as stiff as new US ACUs

Overall what you would expect for $30ish

Comes with pants but nothing new to show

Also if you order from Wish be sure to order 2 sizes over your current size

You could get cool FROG fire retardant shit for that

Wish is from china so always order well over your own size.

surplus navy shit is like $25

why are you buying chinese shit for more

NAVY SEAL shit nigga

you know why that shits built so well? Navy seals beat the shit outta their gear because theyre important and they think theyre just gonna get issued new ones

scary part is they dont

I'm yet to see mint chocolate chip at a reasonable price at local places

but I don't have much of a navy presence around me

choco chip is getting near unicorn status

buy now

mint choco chip

not classic chocolate chip

oh

avacado

youre not gonna believe me but I have 5 duffel bags full of it in my living room right now

that is awesome

and I've heard more improbable

ive been repairing some lightly damaged ones as well

I've got 45 gas mask filters

so my buddy, who actually sells surplus instead of hoarding it, is selling my repaired and modified shit.

Those raid mod pants are p popular

cool

anyone want gasmask filters?

40mm

🅱ilters

they is hella nice

that entirely depends on the filter

current US issue specially marked hazard filters go for a premium

that's them

I just got SCBA myself though lol

at least to the same spec

these are only issued with a certain type of mask as far as I know

come from the same company and are kept together

SCOTT fire fighting masks are like $400 but you can find em for days at $60 when fire depts ditch em

the adapter for 40mm is like $50 or you can go straight to SCBA

those are general CBRN. Theyre standard but not the general use filter.

The viral agent ones with the yellow front that hazmat units use are $100 a piece

you can get that threat rating cheaper from civy companies but theyre all proprietary filter attachment types

On the topic of uniforms, there's this older guy a town or two that lives south of me. How I didn't hear that he sold military surplus gear prior honestly shocks me, but it turns out that he had gotten a shipment of uniforms that had anti IR shit (don't remember what the actual term is) that I think was supposed to have been destroyed after it had it's use. He, however, was blissfully unaware of this up until a bunch of feds and I think some National Guardsmen as well ended up coming to his home with a few flatbed trucks and talked to him and take back the uniforms. Apparently, someone had sold them to him around 5-10 years ago and I never did hear if they found out how he was sold it or who even sold the uniforms to him in the first place. Thought this would be an interesting bit to share given the relative topic.

>inb4 called out for being fake

cool

CIF likes to come take shit

every current issue uniform is IR signature reduced

well

They will only come take it from you if you try to export it

let me rephrase that, they only legally have grounds to take it*

they will still try to take it if you somehow amass tons of it

if anyone wants a filter, I'm looking to get $20 each, vacuum sealed. Will do discounts if you buy multiple

Pretty sure there was a good container's worth of it.

Hence the flatbeds.

any government property is liable to CIF confiscation

cool

even if it isnt their property anymore

But otherwise, I don't think he cracked it open pretty much since he got it.

my surplus guy nabbed a whole container of armor that the govt didnt want to keep paying to store

was 50% empty ammo cans, nothing about the armor on the roster

cool

that's how my local guy gets his shit

if its in bulk, it hits the shop floor

if its a one off it goes up stairs

up stairs is fucking wonderland

Its the only time I've been able to consistently screw over a pro

I feel bad about it, but I get really cool shit for cheap

I’ve only ever been to a couple of military surplus places before and only got a few things given I live in a rural area, but the few times I did was awesome.

That was when I was 15 I think, last time I had the opportunity to visit my father since he’s in the Army Corps of Engineers. He’ll move around a lot, so I don’t get many opportunities. Regardless, I ended up getting some hand-me-downs from him along side a larger army rucksack and a sleeping bag to go with.

Anyways, here’s an article from one of the local radio stations regarding what I was going on about earlier.
https://www.vandaliaradio.com/2018/08/02/family-members-helps-to-clarify-situation-after-federal-operation-in-vandalia-fayette-co-on-tuesday/

I know his son, it was bullshit and he got his stuff back.

Lul

every single current issue uniform has that coating

as long as he wasnt trying to export I dont see any charges.

I haven't looked into it since I've heard about it, so I wouldn't know, but I'm pretty sure he's just local anyways. Oddly enough, when I brought it up with my mother earlier, she mentioned that the gentleman who runs the place has some relation to us from my father's side, though I've never met him myself.

~~Otherwise, I'd probably have a lot more surplus shit.~~

Yeah its a fabric coating treatment like DWR

You know how some cameras have a "thermal" mode? Well, its not really a temperature sensor. The camera uses an infrared spectrum sensor & objects like humans which are dark in normal light are quite bright in infrared

DARPA would be embarrassed if they spent tens of thousands of dollars per unit on thermals and their enemy just integrated a cellphone camera into a $120 red dot knockoff

My local 'mil surp' store only has consignment and even then it's only a rack or two
