You just never know when you're going to need a surplus store. I went on a camping excursion with my family that required I had some gear. Not knowing where to turn, my brother sent me to AA Surplis Sales. I was a little intimidated by walking into this very testosterone laden, military store, but the guys who work there were very friendly and super helpful. They were able to help me get what I needed for the family adventure. It also didn't hurt that they were cute to boot!
