I ordered a funky little knife thingy here for my husbands birthday recently — I had remembered him pointing it out in a magazine we had laying around the house as being something he really wanted. Armed with a magazine clip-out only I dropped in to ACQ to see if the friendly staff could help out. They were absolutely wonderful, the counter clerk ordered it in for me and had it in store withing two days! I find their prices to be very competitive. I phoned around to a few camping and specialty book stores recently in search of a specific camping guide — ACQ was more than 10% cheaper than any other store I phoned. Needless to say this is where I ended up purchasing it.

If you’re in need of camping or military gear, Australia’s Camping Quartermaster at Enoggera should be your first port of call. They have everything you need to be a radically self sufficient camping guru. They’ve got swags, hammocks, fold out army beds, tents, sleeping bags, doc martens, camouflage gear, maglites, pocket knives, gas stoves and so on. They stock some of the more trendy camping items like head lamps and sporks(spoon + knife + fork combo) too. If you’re on a budget, you’ll be happy to know they sell reasonably priced high quality second hand gear alongside the brand new stock. I’ve only ever brought second hand items here, and I’m happy to report that the fold out army hammock I brought five years ago is still as good as new, and the beautiful wooden carved filleting knife I brought more than seven years ago now still cuts through things like butter(with the help of some sharpening ever now and then). The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. You can trust them to set you up with all the bushy tools you need to go and make a go of life in the wild for a while.
