Help Rebuild New Jersey - from an Army Navy Store

If you are from the Jersey shore as we are, then you can understand the toll Hurricane Sandy has taken on our lives. Everything has changed and nothing can possibly ever go back to the way it was. Although the warehouse that holds our online army navy store products was not damaged or flooded, we were without power, so had to shut down for a few days. We were one of the few lucky ones. For years, our shore was hit with minor storms and always left unscathed. There was never a cause for concern. When you spoke about the jersey shore, it was about its enjoyment and beauty.

The New Jersey shore areas are known for their funnel cakes, amusement rides, games and gorgeous beaches. Out-of-towners travelled this way for fun, excitement, golden tans and relaxation. Point Pleasant beach and Jenkinsons Boardwalk was always known for being very family oriented. It was a great place to take your family and enjoy the ocean air.

There are plenty of other shore points that were known for summer vacationing. Some of those places are Seaside Heights, Sea Bright, Belmar, Long Beach Island and Atlantic City. A very popular MTV reality show, “Jersey Shore” brought a huge amount of money and fame to the area of Seaside Heights. Fans of the show would travel to the area just to catch a glimpse of their famous cast member.

Unfortunately, due to Hurricane Sandy that struck the last week in October, these areas are in ruins. There are multi-million dollar homes that are full of sand and water. Some of these homes were dragged out to sea and others were completely ripped to shreds. There are a ton of people without homes and left with absolutely nothing.

Fortunately, there are people that are doing whatever they can to donate or help out these people affected by the hurricane. There are food pantries that are filled with canned goods, bottled water, blankets and other necessities. Also, filled with baby products as well; things like diapers and formula. It is a horrible time for New Jersey and other states affected by this horrible storm. Although, with the help of wonderful people; we can start fresh and rebuild.

If you are wondering how you can help, there are tons of local groups, as well as federal associations that are pitching in. You can look online to see what drives are open and what days. The best website to visit is www.ready.gov. Another great way to help would be to visit your local army navy store and purchase supplies to send to these people affected. Every little bit counts. Please lend a hand!   

The army navy store for boy scouts

Below is a note sent to us by one of our customers. Please feel free to write us with your story, and we'll probably publish it here. Thanks for reading our blog.

It's boy scout time and you might be shopping around for camping supplies. I am a mom of a first year cub scout and I am very happy to have found some great items on the Army Navy Shop website. Army Navy Shop has many items to choose from such as insulated cooler bags, lanterns, survival and first aid kits, camping chairs and backpacks, sleeping bags, tents, and more. You can easily find all of your camping and boy scout supplies on the Army Navy Shop. A specific item of interest is the camo trail tent. This tent is made for two people. One of the best features is that it only weighs 3lbs and 8 oz., making it very lightweight for your young camper to carry. The camo trail tent comes with the stakes and rope for set-up. It also has a reinforced polyethylene floor. The large mesh window makes it easy to check on the boys without waking them up. The best part about this tent for me was the price was very reasonable.  I am very excited to use this tent and take my son on his very first camping trip! I hope to blog again and let you know how the trip went and how the tent holds up. So far, I am pleased with the Army Navy Shop website and the wide variety of camping products that I will be able to purchase for my cub scout!

Army Navy Shop Review - A note form one of our customers.

     Recently I checked out a pretty cool website named armynavyshop.com. Being a former US marine I like checking out new products that come out geared towards the military. This shop has pretty much everything you could possibly imagine when it comes to military clothing and civilian clothes bearing military logos. I like the wide variety of different types of military type of headgear also.  They carry shoes, bags, hats, pants and jackets. I noticed they also carry camping supplies, eyewear and even books and guides. It’s not exactly a survival gear store but they do carry a wide variety of products that given your circumstances could very much help in the event you were in survival mode.  I was pretty impressed to say the least. This army navy webstore is without a doubt the most complete military apparel and accessories store I’ve ever seen.

       I think of all of the products my favorite has to be the sunglasses and safety glasses. The sunglasses are priced reasonably and I found the protective glasses were actually very high quality.  I liked the aviator sunglasses and the military style cases that they offer. I also like the military clothing that armynavyshop.com carries. If you’re looking for camo clothing this site is definitely the best bet. There is also a wide assortment of shirts that are pretty cool too which bear the name of different military branches. I think this site has just about everything you could ever need when it comes to military style clothing. I could go on and on about all the products in armynavyshop.com but that would give everything away. You really have to check it out yourself. For anyone needing military type clothing or camping gear this is the place the go. Just go to www.armynavyshop.com and you will see what I mean.

Camo Pants for Fall

That time of year is just around the corner! Fall is in full swing and summer is out. It is bittersweet but that is what the seasons are all about; always changing. You never get tired of the weather because it is always changing. Most people describe fall as cozy and there is not anyone that can deny the beauty of it. There is nothing like the leaves changing color in autumn.

It is time to pull out the sweaters and pants. Camo pants are a great must have for that time of year. There are quite a few reasons. One, being the style! Camouflage prints are always in! Two, being they are great to wear for fall activities, like paint balling! Three, as a woman, they look great with Uggs! Actually, they look great with high-heel pumps as well!

 

Pink Camo For The Ladies

Camo pants always look great on men; especially camo shorts. It seems like they are always in style for the male gender. You can wear them to knock around in or dress them up to go out. Cooler weather is usually the start for gaming season. We all know that hunters wear camouflage so, there you go!

 

Autumn is just a great time of year! You really cannot disagree with that - besides, the heat gets to be too much after a few months. Who doesn’t enjoy sipping on hot chocolate and picking pumpkins?! By the time you know it, we will have to put our winter clothes away and pull our bikini’s out again! That is the joy of the seasons.

Military Clothing: A Fashion Trend that Everybody Loves

Military clothing is a fashion trend that has long been a favorite staple in both the fashion industry and in everyday clothing wear. From camouflage clothing to boonie hats and combats boots, military clothing offers the wearer the chance to mix the innate toughness and masculinity inherent in the different styles of clothing and accessories with the more fashion forward aspects of today’s trends found at many army navy stores. Many people today who have a love for the military or a deep respect for them often get themselves fitted with military clothing from an Army Navy store and who can blame them after all, if you take a look at both classic and modern military uniforms there are some truly exceptional design ideas worked into the clothing.

The most basic of military clothes found at an Army Navy store comes in hues of green or blue and occasionally red and yellow. For the American military the clothing has long been a combination of greens, tans and blues from combined colors in camo wear to solid colors that you might traditionally find in some of the more vintage military clothing and accessory options such the Khaki Vintage Star Mini Backpack that is reminiscent of the old army packs used by soldiers in the early to mid 1900s such as in the Vietnam War or WWI.  An Army Navy store deals greatly with, you guessed it, Army and Navy military clothing and can offer you anything and everything under the sun practically in a military style that always seems to be a fashion trend. The fashion trend aspect comes from the deep respect and fascination the military brings out in the civilian popular and simply because of the “toughness” that clothing found at Army Navy stores inspire such as a Kid’s Top Gun Flight Jacket that any boy would absolutely love to wear with pride.

Army Navy Shop is a popular Army Navy store that provides unique and distinguished military clothing and accessories in many different styles, colors and sizes; from camo pants and tanks to boonie hats, flight jackets, military style backpacks, military multipurpose tools and even chicly fashionable women’s and men’s underwear in a military style. The thing about military clothes found at Army Navy stores is that no matter the era or the current fashion trends, military clothing will always be in style because who doesn’t love the classic and modern stylings of military wear?

Camo clothing and country music

Not only is camouflage clothing important for camping and hunting but it makes an awesome fashion statement! Country music is extremely popular right now; not only for adults but the youth of today. I do not know if you have ever been to a country concert but it is really exciting! People are very hospitable at the pre-gaming party and you rarely see a fight. You would think that people would be rowdy from drinking all day but it is the very opposite.

If a Country show starts at five, people are in the parking lot cooking in the morning. They set up tents with chairs and tables. It is like they are creating a backyard right in the parking lot. There is plenty of food and games. If you forget to bring sugar, you can definitely ask your parking lot neighbor! Young teens and adults have a great time playing corn hole together and bringing out the inner country in them.

Half of the concert goers are wearing camouflage attire! Whether it is a camo hat or a tiny tank; it is gonna look good! You have to own it because realistically, if you live in the city of Manhattan, you normally would not wear camo. This is your chance to be the woodsy country folk you always wanted to be. Seriously, I know that Country is not for everyone but the concerts definitely are! It is a great time for everyone; kids, teens and adults. The best part is, you can bring the whole family!

Camping supplies for first time campers

When people are first time campers, they normally do not come prepared. If they do come prepared, they usually bring way too much! As a first time camper this summer, I think I brought all the necessary supplies. The camping supplies I brought consisted of a propane lantern, tons of bug repellant, instant sting treatment and quite a few other important items.

I have to say that the sting treatment helped immensely! I stepped on a nest of some kind of bees and I saw stars! The sting treatment and ice eased the burn and pain I was dealing with. Benadryl is very vital as well; just in case you are allergic to something you step on or brush up against. At night, even though you are at a campground; the grounds are not equipped with enough lighting. A lantern and flashlights made a world of a difference. Also, citronella candles gave off not only light but protected us from bug bites.

You do not want to over pack clothes! Just make sure you bring something light for the day and something warm for the night, and over course, plenty of underwear! Do not forget to bring towels and water shoes. If you are going to venture into the water and there are rocks, the water shoes will give you grip on slippery spots. Also, always wear a life vest in the water! Even if you are a great swimmer and decide to go tubing; there is always a change of hitting your head. A life vest will save your life! These are just a few tips to help you start a great camping trip!
