Lee's Military Surplus

Great store they have all kinds of surplus camping survival stuff and more plus the staff are very friendly and helpful and prices are great. Definitely will be back to buy more from them in the future. Thanks

A little pricey but that's probably because of covid and a low volume of customers. Though I have to say every time I've been in there two or three people have come through. New and used gear. Very friendly people on the counter!

Been here twice. Pretty good selection of goods considering the size of the establishment. Friendly, helpful staff. Prices are about what you'd expect from a brick and mortar establishment, which isn't terribly surprising if you consider they have to pay for floor space.

I could certainly buy most things in there cheaper online, but that's not always the case. One of the key items I bought was a used military issue mess kit for $20, just under $22 with tax. I could have bought a cheaper one, $15 before tax, but the one I picked was nicer, and only very minor dents. Coming home, I looked online for the same kit, used, on ebay. Prices were broadly similar when you take into account shipping and the fact that ebay charges you sales tax as well. In fact, the locally bought kit (the expensive version) undercut the ebay average by a couple of bucks. And I got to pick the one I wanted, right at the moment, not having to wait for days and possibly getting less than what I bargained for.

I did buy one slightly overpriced recent production MRE. But roughly $2-3 more for one is not that bad considering I'm not buying an entire case of meals. Again, once you take into account shipping costs and associated risks and hassles of a remote seller, this was totally worth it.

Some of the memorabilia did seem overpriced to a degree, but a shop like this isn't comparing their prices for used trinkets against everyone online to see what is a "fair" market value. If you like it, buy it and support the local business. If you can find it cheaper online, go for it, that's what I would do.

They also had other things like used storage lockers and a small inventory of useful camping/outdoor gear. Again, retail prices but good if you need it in a pinch and want to support a local business instead of a big box chain.
