I appreciate the insights about the mil surplus, I thought they were mixed : new and used. Marketing the used clothes or boots will be a mission impossible around here. Used American cars were popular a few years back, but clothes will be another story. Even used cookware maybe a problem to market because of local dietary beliefs and traditions.

I tried to visit IMS plus website and received a message that my IP has been blocked by whatever.... ( although my country is in the list ).

Too bad. But anyway I guess it's better to have a closer look at well known sources of outdoor stuff like Cabellas . From our local forums, I can see many happy customers there.
