What's The Strangest Place You Found Gear?

I found an OD CIRAS with pouches at some random pawn shop in Windsor but sadly I did not buy it

Yeah we use them for hit sticks at night games and there good indoors as well with the strobe effect

Not a store, but when stuck, I found out that a laptop bag shoulder strap makes a excellent, solid, save-my-ass-at-the-last-minute 2 points sling.

A couple of times now, I've played in cold weather, and to keep my battery from getting cold, I stuffed a glove warmer in my Crane stock.

I plan on taping one to the end of my extended mac11 pistol mag

Got a vintage M65 field coat in good condition at the Salvation Army for four bucks the other day.

Yeah, I work at the Princess Auto here in South Edmonton! I bought myself one of those ACU 24 hour assault packs for $30.00. Here's a list of the stuff we've got hanging around. These items should be in most stores, in the SURPLUS section.

- ACU 24 hour assault pack - $30.00 - Bought one, it's great!
- German Army folding shovels - $20.00
- US Army cold weather paratrooper boots - $70.00-$90.00 - Black and White
- Desert Camo M88 Helmet cover - $18.00
- ACU canteen holder & Canteen - $12.00

Personally, I've bought myself an ACU pack, 8 pairs of ballistic-rated goggles (for my airsoft parties :b), some really comfy masonry gloves, and the German army shovel. Pretty sweeeet.

Picked up an issue nomex flight suit in sage green today at the Salvation Army thrift store in town for $10.

That and a necro. Good day.

Nice find!


And thanks for performing necromancy on my thread. I had given it up for dead over a year ago...

[Desmodus]

I found what was basically a brand new set of Chilean army mountain camouflage in a garbage bag with hand-me down clothing to be donated. Was a wicked surprise! I have no idea how rare it is or how much its worth

I could probably mention here that I got shirts and pants that I particularly use for "WWII" gear from Old Navy.

I made a highly effective airsoft mortar out of 4" and 2" poop tube from home depot, and fashioned the rounds from paper cups, electrical tape and floor sweepings from XT.

Gets a good 650ft range, dangerous to use in open terrain though

That's awesome. Got any video of this thing in action?

"House of Knives" carries a large selection of Surefire lights. Got a pressure switch and a small surefire light (non-tactical).
