Incredible!
This place is incredible. I first learned of it on TikTok. The owner is absolutely amazing with knowledge, will power and know-how. The modifications to rucks are a must have for any light infantry soldier. I can not stress how highly I recommend this shop and it's staff.- Aaron Harring-Spoerl

The Place To Go
Gibson's Tactical Tavern is the place to go for IBOLC and Pre-Ranger students. The customer service is exceptional. This place is more than a store. Having a conversation with Gibson is an extremely valuable tool before going to Ranger School. He has helped hundreds of Ranger students. He shares great advice and truly cares about helping you get your tab.- Alex Andrade

The Ruck Whisperer
We were recently in Ft. Benning for a Ranger School Darby pass. Gibson was at the store and was a tremendous help with the refit. He interacts and learns from every class that goes thru. Besides gear he has the experiences of many Ranger students who share tips and suggestions with him. Many call him the RUCK whisperer. We will be back, and as a new ranger student you should go here first and not just buy your packing list out of a pre-made box.- Wyatt Davis

WOW! !
Just… wow. Hands down, there is no better place you can go. If you are going to RTAC, Ranger School or a similar course, shop here. The guy is just an absolute wealth of knowledge. You will not find better. Great people and great prices.- David Derasmo

The Best Surplus Store
Gibson hands down runs the best surplus store outside of Fort
Benning. He is very personable with all customers and is the most helpful and
honest business owner I’ve ever met. If you’re needing any gear or supplies,
Gibson either has it or will get it for you. I recommend this place to everyone in the Fort Benning area.- Adam Schmitt -
Genuine Militaria
In a day when most "surplus" stores are full of foreign made knock-offs, this store has genuine militaria, both current and bygone eras. More importantly, the crew here is as passionate about conversation, connections, and their customers. Come here, you can absolutely find that awesome artifact you didn't even know you needed, but more importantly, you'll meet some great people and kindred spirits. - Niels Hansen
