Our Story

A Legacy of Reliability in Every Package

Bickel's Surplus wasn't founded on trends — it was built on trust. Located on Old 6th Avenue Road in the heart of Altoona, we've spent over two decades curating a selection of military surplus, tactical gear, and outdoor essentials that actually work.

Whether you're a veteran looking for authentic military clothing, a hunter prepping for season, or a family needing durable boots that last, we treat every customer like a neighbor. That personal touch is something you won't find at big-box retailers.

Curated, Not Cluttered

We don't stock everything — we stock what works. Every item earns its place on our shelves through quality and demand.

Prices That Make Sense

No gimmicks, no artificial scarcity. If something isn't a fair deal, we won't sell it. That's the Bickel's promise.

03

Real People, Real Advice

Walk in and you'll talk to someone who actually knows the difference between an MOLLE and a LBT. No scripted sales pitches.
