Originally born as outlets for
Army surplus (that is to say, not necessary, supernumerary)
equipment, the
army surplus store (
aka simply
surplus) have an alarming tendency to turning into generic
outdoors shops.
A good army surplus store can provide hours of entertainment. In the well-stocked ones one is able to buy things like jwz's camouflage net, flak jackets (in case your PC bursts into shrapnel) and Swiss mortar shell cases that probably could be turned into something useful.
