military surplus
Leftover defense equipment
Military surplus refers to equipment, clothing, vehicles, or supplies that armed forces no longer need and sell to the public.
Surplus stores stock items from boots and field jackets to mess kits and ammunition cans: I bought my camping gear at military surplus.
The goods are typically durable and inexpensive, attracting outdoors enthusiasts, preppers, and fashion-conscious buyers seeking utilitarian style.
