S-4 Military Surplus & Supplies

This store is okay. They don’t have the greatest selection. And some of their prices are a little high.

Bought a new knife here.
Service was friendly enough, lady behind the register knew more about knives than I was expecting. The rest of the store is clothing in various shades of camo. Very typical of a military surplus store.

So this store has been here for years and have had a good run in the military surplus side of things. Its very handy for trinkets and gift ideas, I don’t know about replacements for your TA-​50 gear. Very expensive nonetheless! I think its due to it being the only surplus this side of the hudson puddle. One interesting and also disturbing known fact (at least in my book, and i’m sure most airborne veterans will agree) is that you see the airborne wings branded all over the stores signs and business cards but the owner according to the owners wife has never been to jump school or even in an airborne unit… Huh?! yea it disturbs me every time I pass their business signs. Still nonetheless handy store for little items… AIRBORNE!!!

Very helpful, excellent customer service, and great selection. There is a reason why they are still in business. I will send anybody there. Highly recommended. Most likely this is where I will be going for my MA-​1 Alpha Industries Flight Jacket.

The staff is nice and friendly and they have a nice selection of army gear, clothing, shoes and gear.
But beware of what you buy, some gear is a nice replacement if you lost some equipment issued by the military and trying to get a replacement, ex.
PT shirt, they have it but what they have is not the same as IPFU but a shirt that has the logo on a cheap shirt. Also, their stuff is on the expensive side.

This store has been in business for at least 30 years and I finally paid a visit today. After Sandy, a lot of my friends and family have been on the hunt for doomsday prepping supplies. So my dad and I made a quick stop to see what was available at S-​4.
The store is your typical military surplus. Most of the inventory is camo gear or military-​based outerwear. You won’t find water purification systems, tents, solar collectors, hazmat suits, or even a crank radio. But you will find a gas mask that sells for $ 50 (which you could probably find online for $ 10-​$ 20 less). And you will find a decent selection of survival knives and ammo cans (large caliber only).
Don’t go looking for ammo or even arrows. Don’t ever confuse surplus stores for survival stores. I’m not sure if «bug-​out» stores exist in Jersey just yet, but I’m sure the aftermath of Sandy will create some business ventures for the highly industrious. With that being said, my dad and I left empty-​handed, but at least he’s got a better idea of what to look for and where to shop. He’ll be a pro like me in no time.
Prepare for tragedies…
