Default Any interest in military tents or any other American surplus gear

As the title says was just wondering if there was any interest in surplus gear from the states I can get pretty much anything.

I'm going to keep an eye on this thread. It has the potential to go sideways real fast, in real life! LOL HunterBob's either going to be investigated as a potential arms smuggler or he's gonna get stopped at the border for a rubber glove salute and vehicle dismantling!

You guys play hockey in the tent ? the reason i say that is because it looks like there is a hockey stick outside the tent against the cooler.

Jesus this happen'd last time wasn't fun they tore both trucks apart. I don't have a clue why they thought I'd try and smuggle drugs across the border in a military truck. But as for the stuff I'm bringing along this time I'm making a list with prices and people names. No more anal play for me
