History
Established in 2008.
Gear Up Surplus was established in 2008 as a military surplus store and has evolved alongside the needs of its customers. Over the years, the business has built experience serving active and retired military, law enforcement, security professionals, and preparedness-minded individuals by focusing on practical, duty-grade gear and trusted brands.
Today, Gear Up Surplus operates as an online-only retailer, combining its military surplus roots with a curated selection of tactical, duty, and emergency preparedness equipment. The mission remains the same: provide reliable gear backed by product knowledge, real-world use, and years of hands-on experience.
