I use Primula cheese for training sometimes. I need to have the lid off for fast delivery, often resulting in a cheesy pocket. No longer. I picked up a knife/torch holster from an army surplus shop today. Perfect.

I wouldn't be brave enough to go into an army supply shop (at least in the US where they shoot people), but genius idea.

I think they're probably rather a big bit different in the UK. I used to frequent them and get loads of good stuff, but sadly none around here.I wouldn't be brave enough to go into an army supply shop (at least in the US where they shoot people), but genius idea.

Yes, we used to have a good one not far away, but I drove by a few days ago and see that it is no longer. It's a shame . But perhaps the army doesn't have a surplus any more!
Great idea @edzbird ! Primula is such a great reward .

There used to be a fabulous one at East Runton near Cromer called The Kit Bag. We regularly went in there when on holiday - it’s now gone - such a shame. Noticed recently the shop is being ‘done up’ so wonder what it’s going to become
Oh, here they mostly well stuff people use for camping.I wouldn't be brave enough to go into an army supply shop (at least in the US where they shoot people), but genius idea.

Ah ok! I'm purely judging from the outside as I've never been INSIDE one, but I think in the US, they mainly sell firearms, ammunition and lots of stuff made out of camo fabric. There used to be one in San Jose - the building was painted in camo with a big picture of an automatic weapon on the front, so this is where my obviously deep knowledge of the subject comes from.Oh, here they mostly well stuff people use for camping.
On the other hand, I LOVE stores that have camping stuff, even though I never camp. Always lots of good stuff you can use for dogs and travel. Plus the kind of socks that don't get holes in them.

The one we've got is new - the gent who owns it is ex-forces, he's lovely. It used to operate as a pop-up shop, but now he is sharing premises with a sewing shop. There's lots of camo clothing and green clothing - love. And lots of boots and bits and bobs. OH bought a huge jerry can for lawnmower petrol.

Oh they definitely do. Chap said that when an item is handed out from stores it is in a sealed wrapping. Once that wrapping is opened if the item doesn't fit it cannot go back into stores, it now becomes surplus (for UK that is). Crazy.
