No to be fair I'm a tight sod and shop about for everything but I try and avoid prepper specific shops as the fewer people who know I'm a pepper the better the anonymous Amazon package is so common the postman has no idea what it is as is to the order picker who Amazon employ 100's of people ..

Same for camping places or fishing shops

I live pretty close to it so have been there a couple times. Using the word 'Prepper' is a bit of a stretch. It's similar to a military supply shop with lots of knives and bows. There's also a small section for surfing. It could be so much better if he added things like food storage stuff and other equipment for off grid. That being said my son loves going there thus we go every couple of months.

Yup, I'm not too far away either, and as Lanky Yankee has said, it's pretty much an Army Surplus. Reminded me of what Milletts used to be before it went posh camping and hiking.

Anyone ever had issues with them? Had to return items and so forth?

I have been trying to contact them since Christmas via e-mail; are they on extended holiday? Only I am having problems with a crossbow I bought as a gift; as in half of it was missing.

I have found they are very inconsistent about when they work. Several times we have gone there during hours of operation and they have been closed. It happens most times we go, so I'm not surprised they aren't getting back to you in a timely manner.

Theres at least some comfort that it is a common occurrence. Thanks.

It seems to be a "thing" with army surplus/prepper type places, the 2 places near me open if and when they can be bothered, how one manages to pay the rent baffles me, it's closed more than it's open.
