Other than firearms.......

...what goodies do you find at the military surplus store that you use for hunting (or everyday life)?
I have a few military/government surplus stores in our area that I go to. I have found camo material & netting (used for making duck blinds), camo clothing (deer, duck, turkey hunting), wool gloves & socks (hunting or working outdoors in winter), rope (variety of uses), bungie cords (again...multiple uses), canteens (camping/hunting), .30 & .50 cal ammo cans (storing ammo, cameras, tools, ect), paint (blinds/other projects), metal jerry cans, and survival manuals.

In addition, I've found that some items can be used for other things: for example, the old canvas web pouches that were used for the 15 rd M1 carbine mags is ideal for carrying spare Remington 742/760 magazines....almost like it was made for it. Some other magazine pouches (cant remember the number) are handing for carrying first aid supplies.

What goodies have you found?
