If you like the sturdiness of #militarySurplus but don't want to pay as much (and don't care about camo etc), then the #ACU / #UCP camo stuff is made just as strong but is often half the price or less
I have never once regretted buying #militarySurplus gear for #camping or for #dailyLife

Back in the day...

#MilitarySurplus stores are annoying. Maybe I’m weird but I’m mostly interested in actual military surplus. Ie. #genuineIssue #military equipment. Either actually issued or made by the same contractor to the same spec, and in the same country. I have almost no interest in the ‘military style’ made-somewhere repro stuff that dominates the market. Often it is poor quality, ugly and, most importantly, lacks any authentic story to the item. It’s often difficult or impossible to filter that out.

We're getting a new shipment of these funky electronic cases at work and I'm refreshing the copy. A customer review states "Works great with my fluke meter!" After some careful research, I have determined fluke is the name of the manufacturer, and not a meter for measuring parasites.
