What's With All The Paracord Stuff?

OK, so although we offer Paracord, basically a wad of rope, over the past year or so, sales have gone thru the roof. So I decided to look into why? Although I'm not 100% sure, it seems that many people are using it to make other items, such as paracord bracelets, lanyards, belts, necklaces and key chains. Army Navy Shop offers paracord in many different lengths and colors. I guess it's more of a craft item than an end user product. If you've never seen paracord, it's actually kinda cool. It's not like that thick rope you see in home improvement stores. It's only 5/32" thick, but has a 550 pound test strength.... that's pretty strong! It's usually made of 100 nylon and has a 7 strand core. If you are a creative kind of person, you could come up with all kinds of things that you could make using paracord. One guy made himself a guitar strap with it. Since it is available in many colors, you could even incorporate a pattern into whatever you are making. Why not share you're ideas or experiences with how you use paracord. We'd love to hear from you.

Fond Flannel Memories

Dontcha just love flannel shirts? Such fond memories attached to them. The nineties. Grunge rock. Purposely messy hair. Torn jeans. Skipping class. Smoking in the girls room.

Me and my friends pretty much wore a flannel shirt every day of the week. We even wore them in the summer. There was just no containing the mighty breadth of our alternative rock coolness.

But alas, those days are gone. Nowadays people wear flannels simply to keep themselves warm. And it works too. Go figure.

They're no longer the Seattle-based, alternagrunge, burnout teenage fashion statement they once were, but seriously, that's a good thing. They're flannels and they're warm and that's good enough for me.

Get yourself some toasty warm flannel shirts at ArmyNavyShop.com.

Get Your Retro On

Vintage and retro clothes are back in a major way. And for good reason - they're totally cool.

The past and the present are one in the same. Embrace this paradox and lead by example. Present you in a past reflective retro shirt with a future that's broad and bright.

Show some love for all things parallel, parallax and paradoxical. Grab your nearest
neighbor and tie a little knot in your small section of the string theory universe. We're all connected. Everything is.

It's not just a vintage t-shirt, it's a philosophical paradigm.

The vintage retro baseball shirts are available in: Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from all your friends at ArmyNavyShop.com

Happy Holidays

Great holiday gifts are hard to come up with. Nowadays everyone has so very many things. What can we give them that they don't already have? That's the challenge that makes gift giving so darn much fun. NOT.

Well, we have lots of grat gift options. Especially if your bestie is a warlord or dictator. Some nice body armor and a gas mask will really show them how much you care.

But seriously. Who doesn't need a great bag. What constitutes a great bag varies astronomically per person. But one thing is constant. Adjustable shoulder strap. Many compartments. As fabulously stylish outsides as it is magnicficently organized within.

The fact of the matter is, if you truly love someone you must gift them a proper bag. It's imperative. If the holidays pass and you haven't given them a proper carryall you are not a worthy friend and should propmptly turn in your friend credentials and begin applying for a new position as someone else's friend.

Avoid all that hassle. Keep your current friends. And be a great gift giver. It's easy. Give them one of our great bags. and smile when they give you the crappy present they got from wal-mart.

Joy to the world.

Expansion Theory

We've recently added a plethora of new bags, packs, totes and organizers. We've added a whole new supplier to increase our already vast army navy shop selection by 30% and climbing. Our bag selection by far has been beefed up the most. There is also a much greater selection of firearms holsters.

We've got carryalls, backpacks, briefcases, pouches and organizer bags in a rainbow of colors, sizes and configurations to suit every person in any situation. If you can't find the bag or pouch you need at armynavyshop.com then such a bag does not exist! At least not in this dimensional fold in the space-time continuum.

For weapons enthusiasts and law enforcement personnel our much more thorough selection of pistol and rifle holsters and slings is sure to please. However and wherever you need to tote your gun of choice. Duplicitously concealed or boisterously flaunted. It's not for us to judge, just to outfit you with the appropriate weapons toting apparatus.

We've added so much new product. Literally thousands of new army navy and camouflage items of every sort. And by literally, I actually mean literally. Not like when people say literally, but they actually mean figuratively. It really bugs me when people do that.

Halloween and Camouflage

Consider this. In season two of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the villain Ethan Rayne turned every one who wore his Halloween costumes into their Halloween costumes. Willow, who was dressed as a ghost literally became a ghost. Buffy who was dressed as an 18th century upper class lady became such a woman. Our usual hero the slayer was helpless, confused and pretty much useless when all those kids dressed as demons, werewolves and goblins actually turned into demons, werewolves and goblins.

Thankfully one Mr. Xander Harris dressed up that Halloween as a soldier. When the spell took effect Xander was transformed into an actual soldier with a plethora of soldierly knowledge, skill and courage. It was quite fortuitious. He saved the day often on fateful that Halloween night.

So this is definitely something to seriously consider when shopping for a Halloween costume. What if a disgruntled former friend of your watcher who worships chaos shows up and casts a magical spell that turns your entire town into whatever costume they're wearing. When that happens what will you become?

You don't want to get stuck as a schnauzer or a ladybug.
