What do you prefer? I usually end up with more military surplus due to price and durability.

Mostly Military surplus here.  Price and quality is good.  There are some places starting to sell look a like military stuff, but you can tell the quality is cheap.

I have found a wide array of prices on military surplus.  Pays to shop around.  Flea markets are the best deals I have seen and garage sales seem to be crazy prices...a guy has a couple of military things and thinks they are worth the world....It's gear, not gold.

My dad used to hunt and I grew up perusing Sportsman's Guide and Gander's Mountain catalogs.  I used to love the t-shirt section in the Sportsman's guide.

The Gander Store here is not worth going into, over priced, ignorant staff, slow...I just can't go there anymore.
