Thunderhead Outfitters Review

So recently while I was looking at my gear and thinking about doing a post about the old US Army ALICE system, I realized I've never owned one of the ALICE first aid kits. So, since we are in the age of Google, I started searching, as I remember they used to be common and cheap. While looking, I've found prices have gone up a bit with the pouch with the plastic insert being around $25 on eBay, while just the pouch runs for around $15. I didn't want to spend that much on a kit I might not use, so I kept looking to see if I could get a

better deal somewhere, and I did at Thunderhead Outfitters. So, first off this is not an ad for Thunderhead Outfitters, this is my experience as a paying customer. While scrolling on Google I found Thunderhead Outfitters had surplus ALICE first aid kits for $9, which piqued my interest. I texted my buddy Brent, who also collects military surplus, to see if he had ever heard of them, and he said he hadn't, so I decided to take one for the team and try them out and see how things go. Long story short they did a great job. I ordered 4 items: the ALICE first aid kit, A Rothco canteen cup lid, a USGI hatchet cover, and a MOLLE canteen pouch, all these items were pretty cheap and if I ended up getting screwed over I wouldn't have felt bad about not getting these items. My total with shipping came out to $34.76, which I felt was pretty reasonable considering I would have spent more for just the hatchet cover and first aid kit on eBay. I placed my order on Saturday, July 5th, and my order shipped on the 7th, then arriving at my home on the 10th, which I felt was very reasonable. My items came nicely packaged and were as described; they even included a sticker. Overall I'm very happy with them, I've browsed their whole site and I plan on doing lots of business with them in the future, as I prefer shopping at smaller businesses instead of corporations like Amazon. If you're looking for surplus at a very reasonable price, I highly recommend checking them out: https://thunderheadoutfitters.com
