How many times have you bought from us?

15-20 times

What did you buy?

Clothing such as jackets and smocks for instructors, footwear and group equipment like bivvy bags, tarps and shelters, cooking pots, and even kit bags and jerry cans. We have also purchased tools for use on our farm, such as shovels, pick axes and sledgehammers.

What are you using the items for?

We mainly are looking for items suitable for use in delivering our bushcraft and survival courses. The army surplus gear tends to be rugged, not in bright colours (perfect if you want to stay hidden enough to spot some wildlife) and is generally built for a tough life in the woods! They are also easy to repair or modify if required.

Why did you buy from Denbigh Army Surplus?

When you run a small business in a rural area it is important to make sure that you have neighbouring businesses that you can rely on and communicate with. Denbigh Army Surplus has proven itself to be a good example of this. They are just down the road from our offices, they are always friendly and the gear they sell is perfect for our needs. I have phoned, emailed and even tweeted requests to them and if they can’t supply me with exactly what I need then they probably know of an alternative.
