Hey everyone — you’re in for a real treat! Marty, a friendly truck driver with a serious passion for outdoor gear and military surplus, recently swung by yours truly… the Billings Army Navy Surplus store. He asked if he could record a video tour for his YouTube channel Marty’s Ramblings and of course we said ‘yes’. It’s a must-watch for those of you who can’t visit us in person.

Marty has always been a big fan of military surplus stores, and it really shows in his infectious enthusiasm as he explores our shop. From the moment he steps inside, you can tell he’s like a kid in a candy store, marveling at all the cool and functional gear lining our shelves. Canteens, stoves, MREs, packs, pouches — you name it, we’ve got it, and Marty points out each item with genuine excitement.

What we love most about Marty’s video is how he highlights the unique character and history of military surplus stores like ours. As he explains, these shops can range from more corporate, new-gear focused operations to homey, mom-and-pop style havens packed with vintage and used equipment. Our Billings location, he notes, is a wonderful blend of the two, offering an amazing selection of both classic and contemporary surplus goods.

Marty’s keen eye for quality and functionality really shines through as he shares his top picks from our store. From a sturdy shovel pouch to a versatile nylon gear sack, it’s clear he knows his stuff when it comes to outdoor essentials. And of course, he couldn’t resist snagging a cool military-themed patch to add to his pack — a true mark of a surplus store enthusiast!

Throughout the video, Marty’s passion for these stores is palpable. He talks about how, even though he didn’t serve, he has immense respect for the military and the rugged, time-tested gear they use. And for outdoor adventurers and survivalists like himself, these surplus shops are true goldmines, filled with high-quality tools and apparel that are perfect for everything from hiking and camping to bushcraft and beyond.

So if you haven’t had a chance to check out Billings Army Navy Surplus for yourself, we encourage you to watch Marty’s fantastic video tour. That way you can step into our treasure trove of outdoor gear and military surplus goodies virtually!

And of course, we’d love to welcome you in person to our historic downtown Billings location or to browse our ever-evolving selection online at go-armynavy.com. Who knows, you might just find your next must-have outdoor or military gear!
