Military surplus can vary from the smallest of items such as pins and medals all the way to massive pieces of history such as tanks! This means there is no one way to collect surplus and like any hobby there is a ton to specialize in or focus on.
Join me as I dive into the many corners of the mil-surp collecting world and maybe I'll bring along a guest to help lay everything out.
I will also stray at times into other related topics such as serving in the military and discussing the historical significance behind all of this. If you are a die hard collector, maybe just someone who only has a few pieces or even someone who just enjoys the topic or history, I think you will want to hear my ramblings so stick around!

It has been two years since I last had Gage on the podcast and we figured we would catch up on how he's been! We talk about his most recent impressions, reenacting the 101st Airborne during WW2 and some life things as well. He also has recently hit 1000 followers on Instagram so congrats to him, look forward to him hitting 2000 in no time! So go give him a follow!

S4 - Episode 3: Surplus in Media
Graham and I discuss a wide variety of surplus related topics this week. Mostly we focus on the surplus market and how it changed along with its presence in media or pop culture. We were not able to do this one in person because of scheduling conflicts but plan to do some in person episodes again soon.

S3 - Episode 4: Swedish Home Guard and Militaria
Excited to have Hampus who happens to be a member of the Swedish Home Guard on the show. We discuss compulsory service, life as a Home Guardsman and more. This was a great topic for someone like me, a former National Guardsman to compare our experiences and get insight on how the Home Guard operates!
I hope you enjoy this episode and I'm working hard to get this podcast back on schedule! -
S3 - Episode 3: National Parks, finding good deals and more
This was the first episode with a guest sitting next to me and Bailey seemed like the right person to have on! We got a chance to discuss further his time working for the National Park Service. We also talked about some good finds he's had in the last few months. On top of that, he explained his plans for his new office and how that is going to affect his future impressions.
