About Us
The Sommer Family
Located in Cleveland, Ohio, our family knows how to work hard but not forget the important things in life. Life is one big adventure and we intend to live it to the fullest with those we love the most. We started this company in December of 2022 to teach our children what it means to run a business. We wanted to pick something that aligned with our interests and beliefs.
- We enjoy being outdoors, visiting national parks, hiking and camping.
- We believe in sustainability. We use recycled or recyclable shipping products.
- We believe in America! American Jobs, American Products and the American way.
- We believe in reducing waste by re-using and repurposing items that may otherwise just end up in a landfill.
With these beliefs and interests in mind, American military surplus, American-made sporting goods and products seemed to check all of the boxes. We bought a few items from Uncle Sam and listed them on eBay, Facebook, OfferUp, Mercari, Amazon and a simple website we setup. The response was humbling. We've met and messaged with hundreds of customers who appreciate what we do and have done so much to support this small business of ours and we can't thank you all enough.
God Always Has A Plan
The timing of the business taking off was a blessing. It allowed my husband to leave his job that consumed much of his time and spend more time at home. Little did we know how crucial that was to become as over that summer our daughter had needed a lot of medical care and eventually would be diagnosed with Hepatosplenic T-Cell Lymphoma in October of 2023. We spent the remainder of 2023, all of 2024 and up until she passed March 12, 2025 caring for her, staying by her side while she fought a very aggressive cancer.
We're now back and doing our best to pick up the pieces of our lives and this business. We're very thankful for our staff that has helped keep the lights on, doors open and orders shipping over the last year and a half or so. We're also grateful for you, our customers for helping us through this most challenging time.
Please do not hesitate to drop us a line and let us know about your experience or how we can meet your needs in the future!
Stay safe and well,
Ron, Rachael, Zeke and Madeline (Maddie, we'll never forget you.)
Customers are saying
Let customers speak for us
U.S. Military Surplus Medium Field Pack Rucksack MOLLE II Complete - OCP/Multicam
Bought a lot of surplus from here. Excellent customer service and staff is fantastic. The bargin bins are a really cool feature of the store.
Hydration Carrier - OCP - Used - w/ NEW Bladder
US Military Surplus Backpack ACU MOLLE II 3-Day Assault Pack USGI
I ordered the grade 1 - like new. I think it is new as it looks like it has never been issued or used. It's a great pack for short hikes and makes a nice overnight travel bag too. I am very satisfied with the item, the price, and the speed of delivery!
US Military Surplus Backpack ACU MOLLE II 3-Day Assault Pack USGI
Fast service & very reasonable pricing.
I bought an U.S. Military Surplus Medium Field Pack Rucksack MOLLE II Complete - OCP/Multicam - Very Good. Well, I'll tell you what, this item is NEW. How I know it was new? I had to assemble it, that's how. Not a tear or a scuff of any kind on this thing. Everything to assemble it was in the rucksack. All I had to do was go search how to assemble it on the internet. It was simple to put together. And the price was fantastic. I ordered it on Saturday July 5th and got it on Tuesday July 8th. I will go to this seller again. I am well satisfied. Thank you.
I love my PCP Hydration Carrier from Forest City Supply. If you need military gear, give them a look before you search anywhere else.
Better than described. Great value and condition for the money. A great family to do business with.
Exactly what I was looking for at an unbeatable price.
