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.)
Let customers speak for us
The holster is in Bitchin condition and the 5pc load carrier is also in great condition thanks. Will definitely be ordering more products.
Haven't used it yet, but being a old ass boy scout, it will come in handy someday. Thank you
I pl a n on using canteen in summer for fog walks, the fire starters just a back up . Thank you
I was happy with the kit I received for the money spent and I feel like everything arrived in a timely manner. Thanks again!
I'd consider it very good condition. Only a few loose threads to cut and burn down. Amazing condition, fast shipping
If you have ever had a woobie, you know the value of these. The ones I received were color blemishes but in great shape and had same utility at a quarter of the cost. Shipping and communication was quick, thorough, and detailed.
I found these to be a great bargain and would confidently order again.
