Anyone else find these mystery box type things a bit gimmicky? They always say that you get like 25% more value than the box costs. But most of the stuff is weird things that you probably have no need for. Imo you might as well spend 100$ on a few things you will actually use rather than getting 1 or 2 things that you will use and the rest just weird.
They are one of the biggest ripoffs in sales lol. Not even an exaggeration, cheap junk that they overvalue & sell you for a higher price.. Fuckin scam artists
I mean if I was rich beyond belief it might be something interesting to subscribe for, but since I make just above poverty wages, they're all a complete waste of my time and money.
I work for a rock climbing equipment company (leaving out who for obvioius reasons) and anytime I have a knife or axe with a poor heat treat I take the blade and put it through our heat treat process for carabiners and other metal products. The steel is very solid after being treated😎
I see a lot of people giving you flak for not having a gun but if you don’t want one or don’t feel comfortable getting one than don’t. If you want to than spend the money on training first. It’s way more dangerous for people to get one out of peer pressure or some obligation than for the want to learn and train properly. Love the vids. Very clean and detailed production style.
the wood is called fatwood found in red pine trees and branches where the branch meets the the tree it is a fantastic natural firestarter...saturated by mother nature with lots of pine resin
Those sticks are fat lighter or fire lighter, it's usually pine that the sap/resin has settled in, they give it away here when you buy a short stack of firewood
Honestly how cool would a subscription box be from a custom maker or a super collectible knife co - case or grimsmo for example They have a set amount of subs, say 25-100. The only way to get on the list is if someone drops off. You pay a monthly sub where every month - quarter they send out 1 high quality knife to their x number of mailers. Tbh this is a far better way of doing it than sending out a dump of gimmicks. I would definitely be interested in seeing a truly high quality sub box.
I personally like the 'mental tweezers' at 8:47 into video with label telling what's in the first aid kit... I have a pretty darn good first aid kit but I dont have mental tweezers!
Hey, it's a fun concept but some of it is very "tacti-cool" and a bit cringe-worthy in my opinion. I'd never carry most of that stuff, but a few could come in handy. I do have a similar style patch on my flak. It says "Stay Classy."
I wouldn't waste my money on subscription based (mystery) boxes. Most of the items are either poor quality, already at your disposal (in a better quality version, I hope) or you'll never use the items at all. Playing cards, A MUG, Gerber tools, coffee... really? Do yourself a favor and get the items you really need & use for the highest price you are able to afford. Buy cheap stuff in an expensive subscription based box and you'll pay twice. "Get $400 worth of EDC items for only $69.99. NOW! " Yeah, I wouldn't trust all the gear that is included in these boxes just one second. But that's just my personal opinion.
Definitely enjoying the channel. I’m not seeing the point of this box. Kind of a bunch of random shit thrown in from the Walmart camping section with a couple useful tidbits. Only thing I’d use out of this box would be the range finder.
I got a bear grylls axe when I didn’t no any better way to soft but real easy to sharpen but u will literally have to sharpen after every use that u take more than a few swings.
Thought about the subscription box idea but every time I see one here on youtube it makes me think more about how much stuff in them I don't need. Thanks for going through this one. One side note a deck of cards is always useful, I have carried one in my vehicle since my first car, great for quick entertainment, worse case fire starter and also if you've ever heard the song Deck of Cards... www.songlyrics.com/tex-ritter/deck-of-cards-1948-lyrics/ Carry On. CtL
That's basically how I feel about them everytime. I'd rather spend $100 on half the amount of items you get in the box here, but all of the items I would buy I know I would use/like.
Also that Ranger Handbook? Yeah. The information in there is pretty nice to know, and it would make for a good field reference. But it looks absolutely huge, and nobody is going to want to add that monstrosity to their already-heavy-as-shit gear. There are better, significantly smaller options. It's a novelty item.
Great review. I'm not sure what's up with that welcome card talking about winning an AR-15 "assault rifle" and club tac medal of honor though. Sounds like some loot crate nonsense from ea lol. I'm not going to hate on you for not having a firearm. To each is own. How's that rangefinder though? Says $563 on their site. It's the only thing in there I think I'd want. I'm good on the other stuff.
Sorry I wasn't trying to be so rude man but I'm just saying I don't own any pistols but I am very prepared plenty of rifles shotguns but you should definitely purchase a shotgun for your family do you like your video This is the first video I watched but this is pretty good you just have to try to gain a little more information and try reading that Ranger book
Im surprised you don't own a firearm! At the very least get a handgun for personal protection. The unboxing was okay the contents were either useful or filler but I'm wondering what does the $400 legendary box comes with? If it doesn't come with either a Leatherman signal or MUT or a Benchmade blade I would be kinda disappointed.
I'm just overly lazy when it comes to bureaucratic processes like taking the CCW course, getting permits, etc. Literally anything from getting my license renewed to buying a fishing license is like pulling teeth for me. And now I'm at the point where it would almost be a waste of time since I'm going to be traveling across state lines full-time in the near future. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The target market for these kinds of subscription boxes can only be well meaning wifes and girlfriends, unaware they are just disappointing their other halfes month after month.
Bro ur welcome look I’m only 13 but I am interested in this stuff when I am older I hope to get my conseld carry permit and I finally will finish my edc
cool video man. On the production side, just my opinion, of course, there are a few things Id suggest: Cut out the part where you're searching for an item and fumbling around not finding it. It'd more fluidity to the video. Cut out the frames where you have the card in hand and looking at the list, instead, I'd just insert the name somewhere as you bring the item up. as for the box, kinda sucks lol but I'd do a video if it was sent to me for free as well
It's literally a mousepad that's being sold as something else. I have one roughly the same size on my other desk. Made of literally the same materials...
Do people really buy these box/crate things? It's pretty obvious that they are a rip off for like 99% of people out there, even if your buying it as gift just put a little more thought into it and get that person something they would really want LOL
The fishing subscription boxes are total BS, a bunch of junk like this one. I need a range finder, pumpkin/pecan coffee, must be for girls. Let's go fishin'.....fill that box with sushi!
Wait! You don't a have a gun?!?!? What kinda edc expert are you. Take 250$ and a least get you a Taurus or a lpc! I have that lpc. Love it. Up your game player!!!! Quit buying stuff you already have. I need an Instagram! .
Hah! It's mostly been laziness for not getting a CCW. Now it's partially because I'm looking to travel across the country in a travel trailer for a couple years and the law/regulations when conceal carrying between state lines is muddled. Some day …
You don’t have to have a gun to be an “edc expert”. EDC is whatever it is that you carry...just bc you don’t carry a gun doesn’t mean that your other stuff doesn’t qualify as “edc”.🙄
A taurus pt111 g2c was my first edc gun! Great little pistol that cost me just over $270 at a shop/range I frequent. If anyone finds one for a good price I say pick it up it's worth the money.
I'm sorry, but I went to high school in the United states. What is the declaration of independence and what's with July 4th, 1776. I have every July 4th off so do I have to do something?
I laughed when you unboxed the gun cleaning mat and you had no idea what it was for, "other than a mouse pad"... lol Poor guy, maybe someday you will join the 2nd amendment club!? ;)
LOL who buys that crap? Subscription scams are one of the oldest tricks in the book. It's 99% novelty. Take the $100 per month and buy gear you will actually use.
Has EDC channel on TH-cam, “I don’t own a single gun” then “I do whole bean, single origin, black coffee”...... you can’t get more millennial edc than this.... but good review. I mean, the box sucks but you did a decent job with what u got.
Boii! You better buy a gun! A shotgun is a great option for a first gun, especially cause they’re not to expensive, I bought a Remington 870 with a walnut stock as soon as I turned 18, I’ve had it for about 8 months now, And I love it !

Yeah, I ain't paying a hundred bucks for that
yes i thought that early on myself
Yeah, subscription boxes suck.
I work for a rock climbing equipment company (leaving out who for obvioius reasons) and anytime I have a knife or axe with a poor heat treat I take the blade and put it through our heat treat process for carabiners and other metal products. The steel is very solid after being treated😎
"From quality brands like sog, gerber, ..." Hmmm?
Well, you wouldn't expect a knife that normally runs upwards of $150 in a box full of other stuff for $100, would you? There are tiers of quality.
I see a lot of people giving you flak for not having a gun but if you don’t want one or don’t feel comfortable getting one than don’t. If you want to than spend the money on training first. It’s way more dangerous for people to get one out of peer pressure or some obligation than for the want to learn and train properly.
Love the vids. Very clean and detailed production style.
Love the Legend of Zelda reference out of nowhere......made me giggle.
Sticks are natural pine resin. "Fatwood" a little goes a long way and it burns in the rain. So far i dont see $99
I lolled..."My eye is drawn to beef sticks"...
the wood is called fatwood found in red pine trees and branches where the branch meets the the tree it is a fantastic natural firestarter...saturated by mother nature with lots of pine resin
HES A GREEN HORN FOR SURE BUT A GOOD OL BOY
Hi, love watching your work. You sound like you take your coffee seriously; how about a coffee-themed EDC?
Those sticks are fat lighter or fire lighter, it's usually pine that the sap/resin has settled in, they give it away here when you buy a short stack of firewood
You mean fatwood bro
lol yes its generally called fatwood but it also has regional names, a friend in SW Georgia calls it stump lighter

Don't understand the stolen valour rank/ribbon
I didn't even think of that aspect. Solid point.
I personally like the 'mental tweezers' at 8:47 into video with label telling what's in the first aid kit... I have a pretty darn good first aid kit but I dont have mental tweezers!
Would definitely want to see more un-boxings like this in the future, great content keep it up
Hey, it's a fun concept but some of it is very "tacti-cool" and a bit cringe-worthy in my opinion. I'd never carry most of that stuff, but a few could come in handy. I do have a similar style patch on my flak. It says "Stay Classy."
Yep and the one solid thing that I would want was a hatchet....and they put the bear grylls one.
Damn! A younger Taylor!
I wouldn't waste my money on subscription based (mystery) boxes.

Yeah, I wouldn't trust all the gear that is included in these boxes just one second.
But that's just my personal opinion.
Those are Fat wood. The resin in it is the natural tree resin. Probably a pine was used to make them.
Survival use of deck of cards they can be used as a bread crumb trail
Nice axe. I used to had the gerber by him that came with a fore starter and flash light. Best one i had
Definitely enjoying the channel. I’m not seeing the point of this box. Kind of a bunch of random shit thrown in from the Walmart camping section with a couple useful tidbits. Only thing I’d use out of this box would be the range finder.
Honestly, I can't say I feel very different myself. There were a couple decent items, but I would feel a fair bit disappointed if I spent $99 on it.
They also charge you $25-$30/month for shipping and their customer service sucks. I did 2 videos on these guys and I was not happy with them.
Glow in the dark card is for night reading
I got a bear grylls axe when I didn’t no any better way to soft but real easy to sharpen but u will literally have to sharpen after every use that u take more than a few swings.
Would love to see you do more unboxing videos!
Save your money and.buy some decent survival equipment.
A decent gun,knife and good quality EDC equipment.
Interesting selection.
They say it's now $149.00 for premium membership.
Great video!! I’ll buy the Declaration of Independence copy from you if you don’t want it. I’d like to frame it, so my kids see it everyday.
Probably a few bucks on amazon ''printed in china''.....haha
He should open with Brad Pitt in Seven screaming "What's in the box? What's in the box?"
Looks like somebody got taken for $99......
The company sent him the box.
That is fat wood it occurs naturally mostly in the southeast Georgia Alabama Mississippi in high resin trees such as Pine
You have an EDC and outdoor skills YT channels and you don't own a gun? I am so disappoint.
K
If you get a pistol, I recommend Smith and Wesson M&P 9c (with extended mag if you have bigger hands)
Don Swaney he who says "clip" shouldn't own a gun. Unless you were talking about a mosin or garand. But i doubt that.
Duly noted
BDEDC lost a lot of cred with me at 10:39, sorry friend. I do hope you rectify that soon though.
I would bet there is information on each one of the playing cards...
Is that fatwood ?
The stix are basically fat wood
Do you still have the patch?
Great box. Am I the only one who finds it odd that a first aid kit comes in a green pouch? lol
Cheers
I could use that gun cleaning pad...... lol
Love the channel, any thoughts on some EDC bags and pouches in the future?
Fat wood😎
Those are Ninja cards. Learn to flick them and nail peeps between the eyes!

Would love more unboxings! Please shoot using a wider angle next time though.
This was with an 18mm. It was just a big box! Working on more robust overhead rig currently.
Best Damn EDC have you gotten a firearm yet?
Does anyone know why I can't visit the site please help I would love to buy some gear
For lazy folks..research and by gear accordingly to your skill level or end up with a pile of crap ya don't even need.
love your work!! keep it up!! I would like to sponsor you on one of your upcoming videos
Great review. I'm not sure what's up with that welcome card talking about winning an AR-15 "assault rifle" and club tac medal of honor though. Sounds like some loot crate nonsense from ea lol. I'm not going to hate on you for not having a firearm. To each is own. How's that rangefinder though? Says $563 on their site. It's the only thing in there I think I'd want. I'm good on the other stuff.
It's DEFINITELY not worth $563. I'd say it's probably not worth $30. It feels very cheap.
Sorry I wasn't trying to be so rude man but I'm just saying I don't own any pistols but I am very prepared plenty of rifles shotguns but you should definitely purchase a shotgun for your family do you like your video This is the first video I watched but this is pretty good you just have to try to gain a little more information and try reading that Ranger book

Wow, box of hot garbage for only $100! Tactical coffee and playing cards.....
It's fatwood........
The target market for these kinds of subscription boxes can only be well meaning wifes and girlfriends, unaware they are just disappointing their other halfes month after month.
It’s literally a bunch of novelty items.
the wood is called fat wood.
Why do I always click thumbs up before I watch!
Range finder is good to have for shooting. Ya, if your an EDC channel you might want to invest in a handgun at least. All the best and good video!
*I wish I could sell boxes of useless crap to idiots.*
Does clubtac do a welcome box
I do believe so.
I loved the Legend of Zelda reference.
Wait, I referenced Zelda? I've been playing so much I think it just slipped. lol
Best Damn EDC it's the patch lol. Google search "it's dangerous to go alone, take this"
I love ur vids keep doing u
Thanks!
Bro ur welcome look I’m only 13 but I am interested in this stuff when I am older I hope to get my conseld carry permit and I finally will finish my edc

"Pay a monthly fee to let a company tell me what I need." I know I'm a bit late to this video but stuff like this is shit.
Mouse pad???........REALLY?.........I spoze you think a roll of toilet paper is a round notebook
It's literally a mousepad that's being sold as something else. I have one roughly the same size on my other desk. Made of literally the same materials...
what knife are you using in the beginning
Big Idea Design Titanium Pocket Tool.
Best Damn EDC thanks
Its fat wood.
Battle box is better
Not for me
Do people really buy these box/crate things? It's pretty obvious that they are a rip off for like 99% of people out there, even if your buying it as gift just put a little more thought into it and get that person something they would really want LOL

All the shit you could buy on amazon for $45. 😂🤪🤣 with free shipping if your a prime member. 🤦♂️
Wait! You don't a have a gun?!?!? What kinda edc expert are you. Take 250$ and a least get you a Taurus or a lpc! I have that lpc. Love it. Up your game player!!!! Quit buying stuff you already have. I need an Instagram! .

club tac is a joke. total rip off.....I signed up months ago and got a box it was absolute garbage!
You don’t have a gun, Jesus man.
You sound like seth rogen
I'm sorry, but I went to high school in the United states. What is the declaration of independence and what's with July 4th, 1776. I have every July 4th off so do I have to do something?
What the hell kind of EDC do you have if you're not prepared what's even a simple 22 or shotgun
One that works for me.
I laughed when you unboxed the gun cleaning mat and you had no idea what it was for, "other than a mouse pad"... lol Poor guy, maybe someday you will join the 2nd amendment club!? ;)
I had a notion. It just doesn't really make sense to me to have a mat dedicated to cleaning a gun.
That's not to say I don't know it's a messy process. But isn't that what old rags are for?
The 2nd amendment club? 🙄😂
shojus everyone has to have a gun.
LOL who buys that crap? Subscription scams are one of the oldest tricks in the book. It's 99% novelty. Take the $100 per month and buy gear you will actually use.
Sorry...but past the axe, that was a load of blah...
These boxes are such a BS racket. I have never seen one that I would be willing to actually pay for.
Has EDC channel on TH-cam, “I don’t own a single gun” then “I do whole bean, single origin, black coffee”...... you can’t get more millennial edc than this.... but good review. I mean, the box sucks but you did a decent job with what u got.
NO GUNS ...WTF
Boii! You better buy a gun! A shotgun is a great option for a first gun, especially cause they’re not to expensive, I bought a Remington 870 with a walnut stock as soon as I turned 18, I’ve had it for about 8 months now, And I love it !
Max1Million He knows that I hate guns and I think that’s why he hasn’t gotten one yet😬
Def not worth the money. I had an absolutely terribly experience with this company! Consider yourselves warned.
Thats just a over priced Mancan copy all that stuff but the range finder has been in mancans smh
Over priced merchandise, shoved in a box. Probable stuff they couldn't sell.
Sorry but men that do not have a gun are living in a very restrictive area, or there is something off with them.
Are you an American?
(I don't have a gun)
You lost some credibility when you said you don’t have a gun
Sure.
nice box. but a guy that doesn’t own a gun running an edc channel?? what gives? gotta be a felony
This is terrible just like all box subscriptions.
Not a fan of these types of videos
Lost me at no gun
K
Holy moses man buy a gun already!
