The military-surplus version of Sportsmans Guide is sitting here in front of me and theres a pile of stuff I want/need/must have. Lotsa nice cold weather gear..including lined Austrian pants, with suspenders, for $15. One of the LMI’s purchased a couple pair and brought one by for me to try and they are *nice*. Quilted lining on the inside so these babies are gonna be nice and warm. Just the ticket for slow stalks and walks through the cold. They also had a nice deal on gloves, ski masks, some more first aid gear, parkas, H&K flare guns and a few other goodies that I simply must procure for the bunker.

I love military surplus…someone spends $5 million to desing pants that are comfortable, practical, wear well and cost $4 to make. Who wouldnt take advantage of that?????
