• Adam Savage Explores a Military Surplus Store
    41 replies, posted
We used to have one across the Mississippi River in a Flea Market. I got a pair of goggles, a hollowed out M67 Handgrenade, and a WW2 Polish Army helmet from it. We also got a small one downtown that sells miniatures, books, hats, and lots of uniforms. Also visited a Saigon Sam's while I was in North Carolina and got a Alpha Jacket and two caps.
[QUOTE=J!NX;43210823]I wish we had a really good one here. The MSS we have here is in buffalo, and EVERYTHING is in cotten and is completely unwashed, impossible to fine something that fits, everything is terribly used and feels wrong, but also super cheap.[/QUOTE] Uncle sams army navy outfitter?

A buddy of mine ran a surplus store once. Just thought I'd share.
Every military surplus store is like a dream Man-Cave. You can't help but want to go in and stay there all day

[QUOTE=striker453;43218651]Adam savage (the main person, Mythbuster person) is a replica prop maker and loves just random stuff for him to use to build stuff so high quality of weird stuff interest him the most. As for the other person i believe his name is will i find him quite annoying through all the tested videos as he seems to just cut conversations and doesn't really know what he is talking about half the time and seems to just play along with adam either way.[/QUOTE] Except he was, you know, one of the guys who started the whole goddamn site.
