Battlbox Battle Box Mission 45 Hunting 2.0 - November 2018 - Pro Plus Unboxing and Review

[@Mctwitchkid]

Love how excited you got over the outdoor edge knife! Made me smile lol.

[@iChokedOnRice]

Those orange handeld knives are RMEF Rocky Mountain elk foundation and they work great for skinning and gutting

[@eltipobigotudo2162]

2:14 That little closing maneuver makes me happy. Wonderful job on the wave. Love the two-tone beadblast.

[@ophirdude4342]

1) Kudos for clarifying that you are NOT a hunter, that your opinion is somewhat limited on this particular box theme, and referencing Video Addict for an experienced review. 2) I thought the Zip Pro skinning knife was ho-hum, but you astutely provided an alternative usage model ("emergency services folks" as a rescue tool) that completely changes my mind - now I love it. You actually spent quite a bit of time demonstrating the sharpness of the blade, further reinforcing my change of mind. GREAT demo on this knife. Overall, I would give you 5-stars for honestly (I highly value honesty as I suspect most of your subscribers do), but only 3-stars for overall insightful review comments. At the end of the day, I give you an overall 5-stars (skewed based on honesty).

[@Cameron_OKG]

Little grapling book for ducks or other water birds.

[@MycoDaddio]

I checked out the outdoor edge website, if you liked the zip pro I think you should also check out either the swing blade or the flip ‘n blaze. I was excited about the book as well. Can’t wait to read it. I’ve never really been hunting either, so I’m in the same vote knowledge wise. Great video though!

[@OGDamnnation]

You can always use the smith skinners as a first aid scalpel

[@Caddowolf]

As someone who has butchered a few deer I can tell you that the butchering set will do the job, probably if you keep it good and sharp. As a butcher for a time in H.S. I can tell you that it could never be complete, however a butcher has 2 or three "go to" knives and one that he uses more than any other. You could definitely get by with that one.

[@blakepeavy]

Watched one of ur videos this morning while I was eating breakfast abt to go hunting, I come home and there is another upload NICE!!!

[@Tman-rv3ke]

For field dressing you need a softer steel so you can sharpen it during hunting quickly

[@billmandj0485]

The outdoor edge knives and the book seem to be the bright spots in this one, I have the larger set, they aren't great but they were a gift and they serve their purpose for the most part. .... Not sure the blowgun would put a field mouse down without an extensive tracking process afterwards.

[@otterbelt]

Standard broad head arrow points run $40.00 for three. The fish spear is for survival and difficult to find.

[@gsqaud4128]

In a sinch I would use the retreaver for fishing

[@raymondharries7188]

Isn't it a squid lure?

[@egoarmyic]

If you’re in a tree stand and drop your water, that retriever is definitely going to be great to have.

[@angelaabrams9108]

Thanks for being honest about your lack of hunting knowledge. I agree with you about the arrowheads. $25 is too much for what's included. In addition, in a survival situation, it'd make a lot more sense to have one or two fishing prongs and the rest being identical broadheads. Having different size/weight ones just adds unnecessary variety to an already difficult task if you're using handmade arrows. Regarding the blow gun, it's such a gimmick. They could have put in a decent slingshot for the price that could actually be useful. The book is cool, as is the reverse blade gut hook and the nicely made snares. I could see the disposable skinners being nice to pack in case something happened to your primary skinning knife, but the processing pack is a bit silly. For a beginner, okay, but for hunters, everyone has certain grips they prefer for their skinning knife and guthook. The bone saw and rib spreader are a mystery to me. In the field, you can cut between joints with a knife to dress an animal enough to pack it out, and once it's back, a hacksaw with a good blade is more comfortable and faster than what's included in that kit. I don't know of any hunters that use rib spreaders. You can gut an animal without spreading them, and if they're in the way for whatever reason, the previously mentioned hacksaw makes quick work of them. The retriever seems useful I guess? Again, thanks for a nice, honest review.

[@DocP91B]

That is a greath thought about the weight and size difference of the arrowheads. I didn't think about that. Having to judge for a different shot each time is definitely not the most effective way to be accurate with anything. Thanks!

[@vmesser1973]

My cup was busted too !! Kind of looked busted just like yours. The 3 skinning knifes you can use in a first aid kit. I was also missing one of the little arrow heads. BB is replacing all the items missing and damaged. Reach out to them they will make things right.

[@BamBam-xg2bh]

I've been a member of your channel for a long time now, and i can't thank you enough: you make me save 100 usd minimum every month on those shitty battlebox boxes. You also made me find out about pmp boxes, which are WAY better. Keep on the good work!

[@jaredrablin96]

The blow dart is usually used for small animals, squirrels etc

[@c82able]

The Arrowhead set is worth it , the price for three broadheads is 30$ for a carbon arrow so 5-25$ totally worth it

[@clintsumalpong9083]

A Benchmade with a wave opener? I’m surprised Benchmade hasn’t actually put one on their line up yet, absolutely GENIUS.

[@кяуртіс]

Those "arrow heads" are actually spear tips, the trident one gave it away.

[@irishninja9857]

I wouldnt expect too much accuracy from that blow-gun being so short, but a longer blow-gun is capable of consistently stacking darts at 20+ feet with the proper technique.

[@GoodOlBoy1976]

I found a old rusty machete with a broken handle. What do you think would make a good handle for it? I have been thinking about wood but melting plastic to make one. I also love the box of knifes to and I think it could be a give away on its own. The 1st arrow head is a frog gigging tool.

[@DocP91B]

Wood would work, micarta, G10, whatever you like best.

[@lynnmasoner7627]

I only saw 2 things I really like. The book and the snare set. The silent retriever is a good thing but I personally have no use for it . Thanks for the review I hope you get your knife soon.

[@erichjort2546]

We used to skin moose and bear when I was younger and I remember we always used at least three types of knives to do the job ,they should have put an ulu in the kit

[@DocP91B]

I love Ulus! I spent a little bit in Alaska for some training and I saw them there...what a great do-almost-anything blade!

[@erichjort2546]

@@DocP91B yeah, I lived in Petersburg, but lived in Anchorage and eagle River for a time

[@egoarmyic]

I gotta say, as someone that hunts, everything but the blowgun (while fun, it’s mostly a gimmick) is pretty great! Especially if someone wants to get into hunting, small game is great to start with!

[@cbracing2243]

I’m a hunter and that that box that had all the knives in it would really really help

[@cwislovesq]

You can use those retrievers to hook ducks that fall in the pond. That's the only hunting use I can think of.

[@ianfuller5939]

mabey to pull out guts from small animals

[@ConewagoMtnEDC]

The outdoor edge kit is a half descent kit I won 1 at ducks unlimited banquet and we use it up at the cabin alot been used on deer bear elk turkeys and trout

[@uncle_thulhu]

Keep in mind, blowgun darts are generally coated in tranq or fast-acting poison.

[@nigelmcdermott5942]

Interesting vid. Hate the idea of hunting for fun but still the watch and doc you obviously are in a good mood today as a grumpy doc would have tore shreds some of the items. How’s the giveaway comp progressing or have I missed it?

[@Lunarpreparedness]

Your blade work is extraordinary. Nice, brother

[@richardmunt-1986]

Guess what I'm going to be doing on my birthday (which is the 26th of this month) I'm going to be watching your videos, hubby asked if I want survival stuff for my birthday and X'mas, I was like of course haha. thank you for showing me stuff I actually like and its for me not my house. (I usually get kitchen stuff 😞)

No Ruth, thank you fir making the time and effort really feel worth it. I appreciate you watching and I hope you have a GREAT birthday!

[@cameronsterling4411]

Hey doc which is the best Battlebox out of all of them?i might buy one, thank you if you respond

[@DocP91B]

To be technical there is only one BattlBox. That's their company name. There are alot of subscribtion boxes and if I told you one was the best that would just be my opinion. I've always liked BattlBox. I definitely don't like Alpha Outpost, EDC Box, and ClubTac. Some other good ones Ive been happy with have been Never Enough Tactical and Barrel & Blade. I would say take a look at the prices of those and see which fits your budget best. If you have a choice of more than one watch some videos and pick the one that has the items you like the best.

[@aprofessionalateverything7585]

@@DocP91B I think he meant between the four subscriptions that Battlbox sells. I presume you only get the highest end one and wouldn't be able to compare it to the other tiers?

[@heathellison5264]

I liked this box. The blowgun was gimmicky (but I bet super fun). I think the arrowheads would be great to keep in a bug out / shtf bag as a last resort hunting tool. I hunt deer but we've never done our own butchering. This box might get me to try it.

[@billmandj0485]

It really rounds out the whole experience, and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than paying a butcher shop to do it, and wondering if you're actually getting the meat from your deer, or some other guy that gut shot his and let it get all over the meat

[@heathellison5264]

We've had problems with that in the past. The place we go now is expensive, but they guarantee you get only your deer and so far we haven't had any reason to think differently. And the jerky/sausage/bacon/sticks they do are absolutely delicious. Plus local butcher shops are becoming exceedingly rare, so I don't mind helping out a small town business. But I definitely want to try some of our own, especially for just getting some ground venison.

[@potassiumcyanide3857]

The cats make the video 1000% better

[@MrSemanticprison]

No knife, a broken cup, some dollar store scalpels, budK quality arrowheads, a walmart game processing kit, a weird niche grabber, and a bent blowgun - plus a decent book and a decent skinning knife... man id be dissappointed if I spent $150 on that stuff. Could get a very nice knife or a cheap shotgun for that amount. You were very charitable

[@andrewmoreland205]

I could really use that field dressing kit

Get a map of Fallout 76 if you bought it, hang the map on a cork board, shoot darts on the map to decide where you go next.

Not a bad box, some lovely kit in the like it pile. The silent graber looks like a fishing squid hook...

[@justforfunbushcrafterjustf4853]

Little more info on the skinning knifes (sharpness test type of metal etc) or did I just not pay attention

[@DocP91B]

Are you talking about the three pack disposable ones? Or the boxed set? I did a paper cut on each of the ones in the boxed set as I was talking and read off the information that they are 420J2. I didn't test the disposables ones because basically they are just disposable scalpels.

[@justforfunbushcrafterjustf4853]

@@DocP91B the disposable

[@uncle_thulhu]

Not necessarily. The curve in the blade would be for cutting around bone. Don't field amputation knives have a similar curve to them? It's ridiculous sharpness speaks to that too.

[@eugenemonica5890]

The book is great lots of details and the field dressing kit is ok not the best but it does its job great unboxing

They currently only ship within the United States (including U.S. military addresses or APO/FPO) as well as Canada. Stanislaw.

[@Morty_Williams]

Don't waist your money brother.

[@kidthorazine]

On the arrowheads, they are at the high end (some high end broadheads are about $10 a piece and people buy those, but I can't personally vouch for them being that much of an improvement) and the fact that they are notched instead of screw in makes them a serious pain in the ass if you are using standard equipment, but meh. That being said, some of those tips are really gimmicky. Though I suppose having notched heads would be useful in a "survival situation" where you somehow have a bow, and the time and skill to make arrows and fletching...

[@koorbmeh]

I think the postal service owes you some money. That blowgun being bent was probably their fault too. I don't know if you realized that... Personally, I think it might be kind of fun making spears or whatever out of those arrow heads, but you're absolutely right, they're gimmicky and don't really appear to be worth the price. I'm sure a cave man or Indians thousands of years ago would think they're amazing... I want that book! If anyone reading this wants to sell me their book at a major discount, I'm interested... I don't really see the point in the processing kit. The only thing you're really gaining from that is the saw. You already had a much better skinning hook in the "advanced" box, and a few disposable knives. The only reason you really have to bring the kit along at that point is for the saw. I think just a nice saw would have been a better addition to this box than the processing kit... Thanks for sharing. I recently subscribed to Battlbox, thanks to videos like this one. I haven't received my first box yet though. I'm a little confused about how the billing/shipping works out. It's like I'm paying a month in advance. I was charged immediately upon subscribing (Nov. 4th) and then I'm supposed to get billed again and they will do the first shipment to me on Dec. 15th? So I'm paying twice by the time they send me the first box?

[@eltipobigotudo2162]

Battlbox is really starting to be a let down. Those of you that got a broken cup I’m sorry it was broken but at least you got one, I did not. So they aren’t even putting the same stuff in every box anymore great. Also, ok blow guns are illegal in CA, whatever, but their lame excuse of a replacement item was a dumb ass dry seat mat! How is that a replacement for a blowgun let alone a $14 dollar value!!!!! Maybe a slingshot? That’s more in line with a replacement for a blowgun, wasn’t that hard to think of. The knife of the month is ok. A bit heavy and the sheath has next to no retention. One more letdown next month in December and I’m done with battlbox. Doc, also could I possibly get an answer to the Facebook messages or emails I sent you? I’d appreciate it thanks man. As always love the videos/reviews.

[@rusl4n403]

What is a snare

[@DocP91B]

A snare is a trap. You place it so an animal gets caught in the lop and pulls it tight on itself. The harder they struggle and pull, the tighter the loops gets and holds them. You can place them simply or more complicated to where it can trip a device that snaps the snare to forcefully close the loop and grab the animal.

[@DocP91B]

Would you follow them before hand? Do you think you would want to be able to work with that trap and learn to use it and become proficient with it when your life depended on it, or do your training BEFORE the life or death situation? You know what I learned in all my time in the military? You use the time before the fight to perfect your skills with your tools. You don't walk into battke with thinga you've never used before or aren't qualified in. That's why I dont want a trap that's illegal to use now.
