Swiss Link Military Surplus was tragically destroyed during the 2018 Camp Fire along with most of the town of Paradise, CA and the surrounding area. But we're not giving up.

The business has been a part of the community for over twenty years employing some of the same hard-working folks from the very beginning. It will take some time to rebuild, and if we work together we can make it happen.

To our loyal customers, we ask that you please stay with us while we do our best to contact those of you who have unfulfilled orders. We are working hard to get an office together as soon as possible.

In the coming weeks, we plan on setting up a warehouse where we can continue to import quality military surplus as well as manufacture StormBags and build up a new inventory of fuel cans for Wavian USA. To raise funds for our transition, we are selling these t-shirts.

Our hearts go out to the many victims of the Camp Fire. We will get through this together.

Much love,
Swiss Link Military Surplus

I've never heard of you before but you've found a ne customer. good luck.

My condolences to all involved.

ware house burns down; decides to stay in kalifornia, Buy Muh T-surts!

Sorry

Noooooo

One of the people at the gun show meet yesterday showed me a video of some boomer walking around the aftermath of 3 burned out cars. They were people he actually knew that were evacuating with him. You could see the skulls/bones in the charred cars.

Apparently one of them drove into the fire to rescue his aunt, who held everyone up putting on makeup. They're all dead because of her. That's like my nightmare fuel, getting killed because I'm trying to help someone out but they're being retarded.

I bought Finnish wool pants from them a week ago. I paid a ton of shipping fees to get them into Canada, but it was very much worth it. F.

Horrifying.

this is the sort of story that needs to make it into educational studies on peoples reaction to chaos.

it reminds me of getting caught in the open during a severe storm and finding out a tornado was touching down near by. The girl i was with at the time just started crying hysterically. CRYING ISN'T HELPING STOP NOT HELPING AND HELP ME SEE THE ROAD

Serves them right for doing business in California.

I got the same feeling of dread after watching the Miracle Mile (1988). I know if something went down I'd try to save the people I love, but the more I try to do that the more I put myself at risk. At some point I'm not really helping anybody, just adding my own body to the death toll needlessly. But where that point lies you'll never know until it's too late and you're burning to death in your car, when you had a perfectly good chance of surviving had you just let it be.

It really keeps me up at night.

>watching the Miracle Mile
under rated movie

Never bought from them because shipping prices were insane. $20 shipping on a $8 pair of pants? No, thanks.

Hell, shipping from Varusteleka was cheaper than Swiss Link.

Wumbo. I'm the tracksuit corolla autist. Hit me up. I lost slack. [email protected]

My grandfather died in a similar way, trying to rescue some retards who didn't evacuate during a flood. I hate how often one person's encounter with darwin ends up taking good people with them.

This is why I hate women raised in wealthy countries. They crack under the slightest pressure. You ever hear the screams of woman as you are on a boat that is filling with the smallest amount of water? They actively make everything worse by panicking and making useful people waste time comforting them.

I also lost my fucking house, work, tools, & fun accessories. Saved my m44, mossman, shield, & marlin 60.
I didnt even know swisslink was like 7 miles from me until now

Ouch. I hope shit works out for you, bud.

sounds like the ultimate opportunity to move to the US

Now you can move and not be a cuck anymore, take this as a lesson.

I hope you had insurance.
Take that money and opportunity to move to a different state that doesn't burn down bi-weekly too.

I remember you.
Sent an email. Hope you're doing OK.

>loses tens of thousands of dollars in easily-saved shit
>instead takes the time to save ~$500 worth of easily replaced garbage guns
You should have died in that fire.

Don't think he could have put his house in his car.

Tell us how you got out. Might be a cool story.

> being cunts to people who lost their fucking homes
Sometimes I forget how immature and socially inept some of you faggots are.

Not him, but insurance money will never replace your things that holds sentimental value. I'd much rather leave behind my shit that's worth a decent amount of money and replace it later than leave behind a part of my self.

So I went to bed and it was windy and I thought a ponderosa pine might come down on the house, the utility company sent out a notice might cut the power due to high winds a couple days before. They didnt and the wind gusts took down a line in a remote canyon and sparked an initial 200 acre fire.
Calfire said the incident started at 6:30AM. By the time I woke up at 8:30 I thought it was a thunderstorm because the sun was blocked out. Turns out it was a plume about the size of the mt st helens eruption and I knew that shit was not gonna go out due to lack of rain and was going to take everything with the severe wind. (Its usually foggy, wet, and rainy by this time in Nov.)

Took 20 minutes to pack random stuff that I thought was my most valuable stuff, not thinking with absolute certainty I wouldnt be coming back. Got the two dogs while my roommate doddled around stuffing a suitcase with game consoles & anime. Retard ran out of gas & got stuck.
Took me 4 1/2 hours to evacuate with my tires rubbing my fender well going foot by foot through the mountains.. Idiots losing their shit and fist fighting over gas pumps.

Paradise PD detective who lives on the street behind me went back and tried to get his funs and told us this morning that our whole street was torched

My tools are basically cheap shit for intermediate auto repair. So nothing too irreplacable but all my gunsmithing shit and firearm accessories are gone. Plus all sorts of useful odds & ends that take years to accumulate and other stuff I cant remember but will be pissed when I do.
More upset that I'm unemployed from the job I got just this week and this whole community is FUBAR.
I'm stuck in California awaiting a medical procedure or I'd be off already. Sucks cause this was a relatively nice normal rural white community in a sea of shit where I could drive 10 minutes and start popping my AR500 plate (probably literally the only thing that will be remaining when I get up there)

That sucks, dude.
Did you own the place?

It's a good thing you saved your car. If nothing else it's a place to store your things and sleep.

Hopefully you still get paid for the week of work you did. I sent you a link to some jobs in Elk Grove.
>Took me 4 1/2 hours to evacuate
> Idiots losing their shit and fist fighting over gas pumps.
Daily reminder to keep at least 1/2 of your gas tank full. Always refill when it gets there, don't wait for 1/4 or the idiot light. That might be enough to get your out of the shit if the roads are clear but they won't be.

Also have a BOB in the passenger seat and be ready to grab and run if your car gets stuck.

Also tracksuit, did your roommate make it?
You said he got stuck, did he burn or have to ditch his car/waifu to burn? Or is it just ditched and he has to go recover it?

This is Jow Forums bud, when people *aren't* being vile shits to one another is what's noteworthy.

God fucking dammit I almost dropped an order on them last weekend but had to wait til next Monday. RIP.

Nah. Just living for free with someone on their back porch with all my stuff. We're trying to figure out how that all works with her homeowners insurance
Yeah I did a trip to SF last sunday so I filled up my tank when I got back so thankfully I wasnt on empty like usual. Good point to make sure to top pff your tank in fire/hurricane country.
Yeah he got a ride from a neighbor and left the car, its torched.

I swear to Christ I wish I could get my hands on those PG&E faggots for all of the fires they have caused. My Uncle lost his house and about $100,000 of guns in the Santa Rosa fire, all because our State's laziness, in addition to the countless lives lost, all because some lazy government worker didn't feel like cutting the power. This shit isn't new for them either, it was their fault that the gas lines in San Bruno were unchecked, causing that explosion.

PG&E isn't the government buddy, this is the free market at work.

>who held everyone up putting on makeup
Sounds like bullshit

this, will be avoiding doing business with them from here on.

Sounds like pure bullshit but hey, autistic works of fiction

here you go naggers

Yeah I wonder if they're going to start having issues with security and their equipment or offices vandalized

I mean besides that dindu in fresno killing the pg&e lineman because he was white I'm not aware of anything similar having happened.
Think Andrew Stack tier shit

God this reminds me of this one time when I was about 15 or 16

>Boating with family and family friend
>Just pass the 5 mph buoys outside the marina
>Engine dies, fine whatever family friend goes back to turn the trawling motor on so we can turn around
>All of a sudden water starts coming over the back, and really fast
>Everyone starts freaking out
>Mom decides to honk the horn that couldnt make your ears hurt and yells for help at nobody in particular
>Family friend retreats to captain's chair, gets stuck behind a bin floating up
>Doggo starts freaking out cuz hes a doggo and doesnt know any better
>Brother retreats to the bow seats
>Dad tries to convince my mom to jump off
>In under 20 seconds I shove brother off the bow, get family friend unstuck and get his ass off, and throw the doggo overboard, then grab a cushon to support doggo cuz he was old at the time (RIP Red Dog by the way, he was the goodest boy ive ever had)
>Mom and dad finally get off the boat

After about 5 or so minutes of floating around the sherrif pulls up and picks us up out of the water, but not before full throttling it when my dad was still in the water behind the boat, because of course the tards would do that...

Afterwards it was found that some dumb faggot forgot to put the plug back into the boat after we sent it to the shop, and never told anyone about it. Also the boat later got dragged out of the lake and sent to a local boat dealer for parts, but not before It got hit by three (3) drunk drivers, including one fatality, so it was probably for the best.

I swear this wasnt a LARP.

RIP spooky skeletons

jesus christ

PG&E is practically an extension of the government with all the greased hands and political intertwining, not to mention it is overseen by the California Public Utilities Commission, showing direct influence. My government is not innocent in this affair

does the forestry service in california perform controlled burns or no? how does this seem to happen 2-3 times a year in this state?

Plug stays out of boat until it’s about to go in the water. You and your family clearly weren’t boat people, quit blaming the shop.

Good, nothing of value was lost. Too bad the fire couldn't take out some surplusfags before they could shoot up a school and endanger our rights again.

Oh well, salty surplusshit autist tears will have to do for now.

Does anyone else think nugget enterprises/kommandostore was behind this?

They are known to operate out of communist shitholes, and what better opportunity to destroy legitimate competition and create artificial scarcity.
Mark my words they WILL raise prices very soon after...

I never really did tho, my dad later on admited that It was his fault for not checking, but was pretty frustrated that he wasn't told that it was taken out.

It was a cheap ass boat anyway, like 2500 dollars or so if I remember correctly.

>most productive state in the union
>DA SOCIALIST GOMMUNIST PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF COMMIEFORNIA IS WHY MY PRIVATE UTILITY COMPANY SUCKS ASS
Tell me a tale about Enron and California family member.

they do, but not enough
santa anna winds are insane, and its common to not see any rain until November/December, meaning shit is dry as hell
California also has about half as many firefighters and forestry workers as a landmass of its size should have, meaning that even if they try and do the correct thing to keep the fires under control, they cant do it all the places they need to

HAHAHAHAH.

Fuck you you failed abortion product.
Oh, I don’t even live In cali

I like how Brown in blaming global warming.

>This was my friend, you can see he's dead
I shouldn't have, but I laughed. That shit is horrifying. Probably one of the worst ways to go.

look he's mad, seething, probably crying.

>I..I don't live in cuckfornia and I'm totally not the same guy.

How do you even get killed from a forest fire like lmao just go away dumbass calicucks

You’re retarded. Ask your mom why she didn’t abort u

With a strong wind that shit moves fast. I used to to controlled burns to prevent stuff like this from happening in the midwest and we had to be careful even knowing what we were doing. Shit ain't no joke.

But shit like "I have to put on my make up" Is a stupid reason for it. Your life is worth more than looking good or a few possessions. Remember that Jow Forums

Stop putting words in my mouth. What I am saying is that the government and PG&E are no strangers, and both are responsible for the fires, whether through poor maintenance or a lack of controlled burns. If that isn't true, then how did PG&E push this through? The fucking senator says he want to bail PG&E out of reparations to prevent bankruptcy, in addition to the bill forcing average people to pay for PG&E's negligence when the Public Utilities Commission sees fit

abc7news.com/amp/california-bill-passes-pg-e-fire-liability-on-to-customers/4121266/

I have not said, nor am I implying California is communist. Again, I am just reaffirming a clear connection. If you want to shill for PG&E go ahead.

>nor am I implying California is communist.
It is.

why do people live in the danger zones for these forest fires? are houses still being made in them? why are people moving into the houses? why do people move into houses in disaster zones at all even? is it a "this could never happen to me!" situation? this happens every fucking day in california. are californians more retarded than we think?

You can't even spell "you", as in "you stupid nigger".

Someone has an abortion fixation. Maybe because you're upset that God is in the process of aborting your shitty state?

Why do people live in areas with tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, or flooding? You can't escape nature, it will find a way to fuck you.

I meant Communist in terms of state ownership of production, but I see where you are coming from

Yes, actually. I've been on a number of sinking boats.
Best one was when they decided to turn off all the bilge pumps and GTFO to shore, leaving me and my father to hopefully get there fast enough to stop the boat from sinking.
>we didn't want to pollute the bay with that smelly bilge water!
Bitch you just fueled up 1,500 gallons of diesel, where do you think that would have gone if we didn't get there in time?

People are retarded, user.

>The Mississippi River is expected to rise and overtake like 100 feet of land in the next few decades
>People build multi-million dollar homes right on the banks

There's no helping these people.

Kek your family is retard

I think it's different when these forest fires are caused by fucking anything at all, including spontaneous combustion due to the local heat in the forest.

The midwest, and I assume a lot of places, has the same problems. But they are smarter about it and do controlled burns. California got it in their head they didn't need something that happens naturally all the time and every other place does regularly to prevent this sort of thing. It's not just people's fault, its a big clusterfuck of a lot of faults. most folks have been conditioned to trust their local govt. I don't know if it's good or bad, but it's a thing.

>Best one was when they decided to turn off all the bilge pumps

what the shit

Kinda what he says as well as liberals really really really hating controlled burns. The tea fire burned a bunch of homes in my hometown because the firefighters were kept from using controlled burns, it was like their third option. This most recent fire for us last year they did a controlled burn to save prevent the fire from burning up the back of Carpinteria and a shit load of homes.

To make shit worse californa Edison the electrical company down here put out a flyer saying they would be cutting power in danger areas during high winds and fire season. Then this fire up there starts because of a lazy pg&e worker.

The makeup retard. We’re calling bullshit on the idiotic makeup story. Not that the fire happened. Retard.

It isn’t liberals, it’s the upper class, land owners. Liberal, conservative, they’re all against fires near their homes. But yeah, most wealthy people in kali are liberal

Women can't handle stressful situations, we once had to rescue a fat Mexican and his gf who had drifted out to sea on a kayak. She couldn't get back on and neither could he because he was morbidly obese, but she could have just dragged him back in. We were coming back form the channel islands that we went to on a trip for Jr lifeguards and we found these Mexicans drifting out to see because the chick was just screaming and refusing to swim back to shore. They were at no danger of really going out, only like a mile past the wharf when CG told us to help them. She literally screamed at us the whole way back in because we couldn't get her up the boat because she refused to use the rope ladder.

Nah you misunderstand, liberals are those stupid environmentalists who push against controlled burns. It's literally liberal hippies who protest controlled burns and got them to stop doing it. I'm not saying liberals want their home burned, but all the faggots from Malibu are driving up to Santa Barbara and complaining to us about how we don't know how bad it is when we got fucked by the tea fire and have had multiple horrible fires in the last few years. Liberals don't realize fires can happen to them and so they are against controlled burns which will fuck up their air quality and DESTROYS TREES. I've literally seen people collecting signatures infront of whole foods to ban controlled burns since they got used in the last fire and there's been talks to do some more down here. Random old rich boomers aren't against controlled burns, it's dirty hippies and liberals who have never been through a fire. Think how many times you've seen "you don't fight fire with fire" thats how fundamentally retarded they are.

Well, you see, that bilge water looked dirty and had a little oil in it. She didn't want that dirty water to go into the ocean.
So she thought it was best to turn off the pumps and get off the boat.
These are the kinds of people that charter expensive boats. They don't know what they're doing, and it doesn't matter. They have money.

>hippies
those are the old (mostly not very wealthy) boomers
don't lump them in with the santa monica "fire bad, trees good" and Sacramento politicians who don't see a functional forestry services buying as many votes as expanding medical again

Plug is left out of boat so if it rains the rain can drain out and you don't end up with a boat full of water on a trailer. Always pull the plug anons, boat full of water on a trailer is overweight and unsafe.

>EVERYBODY HERE IS DEAD

Because they literally think nothing bad would happen to them, and if something bad does happen, then they expect the government to take of them.

>why do people live innawoods
do you know where you are?

actually this is very close. They think that bad things can happen to them but know that other people will feel sorry for them and assist.

libs are masters of large scale emotional manipulation

Those fucking retarded old hippies are against it as well normally because the majority of them are women, the men are all fucking forestry workers who understand. My moms friend is the perfect example, been in years of lawsuits because she signed a contract and lost her share, thinks all men are rapists, Elizabeth Warren is and Indian, guns are bad and thinks the fires are because men are just shitty people and that if women did it they would take better care of nature and then we wouldn't have fires.

as a cali user who just dealt with all the fires in yosemite RIP
I bought gear off them in the past

my house burned down when I was in 8th grade
you'll get over it but goddamn there is not a worse way to die
