Title: buying real gear at cheap prices
Post by: THC on January 12, 2006, 12:13:05 AM

Hey i dont know if you have a flea market in AZ but in CO i go to a flea market every sunday. I always go to the surplus store. The surplus store sells equipment used in real wars (quality is great) for such a low price. I bought my woodland heavy winter jacket there for $20.  This is pretty much the same principle of your army surplus store but i wanted to know some of the prices you guys pay for your woodland pants,jackets, and other army related items.


Thanks, I appreciate it.

Where did you buy your pants and shirt for that much money?

Post by: Vince on January 12, 2006, 12:20:23 AM

Surplus store run by this dude named Caleb Crye. He's cool, supposedly.

Vince, you payed too much!

I got my DCUs for $160.00 for the shirt and trousers!

http://www.paracletearmor.com has a GREAT surplus store!

edit:  I get all my other sh*t for $FREE.99.  All I had to do was pee in a cup and sign something.  It's pretty cool! 8)

Ok. I dont think I've laughed that hard since a few months ago. I think some pee came out on that one.

And I'm wearing my 'CFU' pants!

And, THC, obviously you don't know AZSarge. I've met him, and he's pretty dull.

Post by: Cheeze_IZ_G00d on January 12, 2006, 06:30:19 AM

THC, I have a Blackhawk Recon Chest Harness that you can buy if you are looking for good beginner stuff. I will sell it to you for $70+shipping to CO.

After making gear for a while and knowing the prices of materials/hardware/labor costs, I can say is you get what you pay for with cheap gear. The only way to get good gear for an inexpensive price is to either make it yourself or to know someone who does (but even then it still may cost you).

Title:
Post by: Gantaliano Hoff on January 12, 2006, 11:52:25 AM

THC. Just check out the gear that counts over in the Sexy gear Thread.

Azsarge is only in the mil for the free gear. ;)

THC,

I work down in the VA Medical Center in Tucson, I happen to have PERSONALLY tested C-dogs urine....

(http://medplant.nmsu.edu/Diseases/uti/uti_urine02.jpg)

If you notice, it is darker in color and quite putrid looking.  (As a matter of fact, its odor was so foul upon opening the sterile container I almost immediately regurgitated)  Under microscopic evaluation, the sample was found to show a large number of white blood cells.  A gross examination showed a large amount of sediment and clotting blood.  This is a definate sign of infection....we are currently awaiting culture and sensitivity results.  

(http://medplant.nmsu.edu/Diseases/uti/uti_agardisk02.jpg)

A strict antibiotic regiment is presently being prescribed by the Chief of Urology.  He will get no more gear until then....

While your at it Benn you should test Vince's urine too.  I mean those pics of his bathroom are just inconceivable!   It looks like from the color, that the Ph is probally very low.  Probally so low that it would most likely kill most organics!

OMG where the heck are you guys buying BDUs. I go to Luke AFB and get them for like 60$ top and bottom.

well the nearest US surplus store to me is 2 hours away, so on Sundays i go down to the flea market. Some asian guy runs a us surplus shop down there. Just check your local flea market.

Title:
Post by: Ganef on January 15, 2006, 06:15:54 PM

Do not buy that crap! all the surplus stores I have been to sell crap, and flea markets sell crap too. I have barely ever seen MOLLE stuff at surplus stores, let alone good MOLLE stuff. If you want cheap gear for the time being get knockoff stuff on airsoft websites or ebay, or dare i say it... blackhawk gear. You just cant cheat with good gear, the saying goes "pay me now or pay me later."

Uhhh i actually resent that ganuf......... if you have actually been to colorado and gone to the flea market you will see. This gear is the gear soldiers use in REAL wars.... So i dont think it gets anymore crappier than this.

When you go to colorado and go to the flea market then you can critisize the flea markets surplus store....

THC, until you make your own gear that is equal to, if not better than, any gear you can buy from any flea market, surplus store, or gear store, never talk to Ganef like that again.

Ah well, I doubt it was actually used in combat. It was probably in the hands of a bunch of national guardsmen that trained with it for a while, then got good gear a a non-surplus store. Beisdes, what gives you the impression that it was used in War/Combat? Just becuase it is surplus doesn't mean it was used in combat. All it means is Uncle Sam didn't want it anymore, and sold it to these guys. Then these guys tell morons like you that it was used in real wars, so you buy it up then try to tell us its legit.

+1

Trust me kid, there is better kit out there than what is issued to troops for use in RAEL WARZ.  

I think if you knew who Firehead and I were, you'd reconsider arguing.  And Ganef?  Well he MAKES gear for military guys and SWAT members.  He knows a bit about good gear.

Stay in your narrow lane, and you'll be fine.  Contribute, or leave.

I'm gonna disagree on that.  They have a few good items, and once had a lot of pretty decent WWII stuff, but the majority of their stuff is over priced and crappy.  

I stay away from surplus stores unless I'm looking for WWII or Vietnam gear.
