[@aphillips1987]

instead of "Battlebox" they should call it "Future Yard Sale".

[@crunch9876]

a phillips where people buy shit for half the price you paid.

[@cutlerylover]

the thing is that there are thousands of people who join the club and enjoy it...not everything is for everyone...

[@jmakes3745]

'It doesn't have to be big to be effective' - When is somebody going to do a complication of Jeffs innuendo's ? :D

[@davidbevis2685]

I need that compilation lol

[@jock-of-ages73]

Kelly Kettles are great if you're camping in an area where they kinda frown on campfires, they are/were used by the military here in the UK. They've been around for decades.

[@KleckerKnives]

It's a common mis-conception that the screw "backs out". It may seem like that is happening, but that is not what causes the "rattle" that you are hearing. This part is something you might not know about what is going on when you use the KLAX. As the KLAX is used, the force of the impact will drive the metal clamps into the handle notches and compress the wood. The same thing happens in a full size ax head/handle. In that case you pound a metalwedge inside the wood ax handle to crush it inside of the large hole in the metal ax. The fact that the wood in both cases gets "crushed" enables it to provide enough force to hold the head in place. For the KLAX, to provide the necessary crushing force, you would cycle it several times hitting both ends on a log and then tightening the knob. The harder you hit or the more times you hit, the more the wood will be compressed. After several minutes of this, the handle will be much more rigid and will require only periodic re-tightening. You'll notice through use that over time, the clamps will dig deeper into the handle material (making it less snug) giving the perception that the screws are loosening. As with any ax, a wooden handle is a consumable item (not a permanent one), when the handle is no longer usable, you would replace it. NOTE: You might not realize that the "Knob" has a small amount of designed-in clearance on the main threaded Rod so that the impact force is not transmitted directly into the Knob itself. We learned lesson that on the very first prototoype. Making the knob with some clearance has eliminated that issue entirely. but, even if it rattles, the screw is not loosening like you might assume. Another important point is that the bolts used are Grade 12.9 which the strongest commercially available steel grade for this size screw. It is so strong that when I did the "pull" test using my truck dragging another truck with the KLAX, the threaded Rod only deflected by 0.030" total and it remained fulling functional and able to cycle. This is a very robust design with a lifetime warranty. Like we tell people looking to purchase the KLAX, if you buy it because you want to replace your full-size ax or even your camping hatchet, then save your money. That is not what this was designed for. The people who benefit most from the KLAX are folks who want to take along a good sharp hand tool (the same weight as a Leatherman Super Tool) to get them through whatever nature throws at them but not have to take up 18-36" inches of storage space to do it. But when things get really bad and you are stuck in the woods, you can take this tool that fits easily in the back pocket of your jeans and turn it into an ax in minutes and be chopping branches to make a shelter, de-limbing them in seconds using the knife edge and then feathering some sticks for kindling about five times faster than you can with any folding knife. We have testimonials from people who hike the Pacific Crest Trail, take river treks 1000 miles long, bush pilots in Alaska, and countless first responders who say that this tool was perfect for them and they would never willingly part with it. It is not the perfect tool for every job, but for a lot of jobs you will not find a better tool.

[@jamesraykenney]

That little Vaughan micro axe(before their quality went down) was the basis of Mike Stewart's mini-axe sold by Bark River. If you can find the archived discussions on the techniques to sharpen it like the bark river, then you will have an amazing tiny axe. It was also used in an experiment with using the head of that axe with a handle at least twice as long, which produced a VERY lightweight axe that chopped WAY out of it's weight class. The Kelly Kettle is a classic and there are about three brands sold around the world. The chimney effect makes it VERY effective at heating with small bits of wood. They have been out for years and years. The lantern is very nice and if you disconnect the strap from the connector at the front lens, you can connect it to the other side at the back and have a vertical carry strap. Sunglasses like that are typically included in arctic pilot's survival kits, as getting snow blind is a lethal problem in a survival situation.

[@frankhellman6879]

lol. You KNOW cabin fever has set in when a blue painted axe is interesting.

[@drainoman35]

I have one, and it backed out on me as well. I called customer support and they said that wood that extends passed the axe head is there so you can lash it down tighter. Same if you cut your own handle. Leave some excess to lash and pinch down on the head. The clamps are there to secure it in place to make lashing it easier.

[@angelicupstart23]

drainoman35 or better yet, don’t waste your money on that piece of “tacti-cool” garbage. For equal or less money you can get a gransfors bruks camp axe.

[@snoopu2601]

Looks like something the eye doctor gives you after a check up

[@paulrayl9470]

Hopefully you can get them to send you another lantern. That is one hell of a crack.

[@macro820]

Contact battl box and see what they do about the lantern and make a video about their response

[@Gam3Junkie]

I like this point of view since I can see your reaction to the items :-)

[@srenkaas4654]

I swear by that kettle and I have for an long time

[@HARMARSCH2]

Those glasses remind me of Bret “Hitman” Hart’s glasses in WWEin the 90’s

[@ALAPINO]

Pit Viper Sunglasses.

[@hughjanus4881]

HARMARSCH2 WWF

[@HARMARSCH2]

Same Company different Initials .

[@hughjanus4881]

HARMARSCH2 Different name.

[@HARMARSCH2]

WWE- Went from being thr World Wide Wrestling Federation to World Wrestling Federation to World Wrestling Entertainment. The World Wildlife won a lawsuit against WWF which caused them to drop the F and replace it with E. The wrestlers have changed but it’s the same product.

[@Zimbo1212]

90% of the junk in these would end up in my basement and never get used... I prefer buying what I want and not being just sent stuff.

[@robinpohl2702]

Michael Szymborski i mean if youre trading stuff all the Time anyways it's neat but youre totales Right, this is a very smart buisness Model but to me as a normal Customer it's pretty useless

[@daleray3895]

Stuff they can’t sell at that lmao

[@badnewsBH]

That's not cracked, Jeff. That's a tactical gouge.

[@graemegourley7616]

Those sunglasses would be useful especially in the winter if you get stuck out and there is a lot of snow. Snow blindness is brutal and can be very difficult to deal with.

[@shaunchristensen4386]

Cutlerylover I always look forward to your videos!!! Keep up the great work and God bless!!

[@luispalomares5977]

Yesss these are the best lol Btw I think this angle is good cus it's more of a surprise for the viewers instead of looking at all the items

[@coryalansmith]

Jeff, loved seeing your expression/reaction to this stuff. Not that you aren't always pleasant, but you looked pretty happy today which cheered me up too. Thanks for making all the content.

[@gadsenculpepper4868]

I like your videos...knives are my vice,...I've bought cheap tools for years then I started watching review videos and getting the best budget items which now my tools last much longer allowing me to replace cheaper items with quality gear n tools. Now that I am happy with my gadgets and gizmos I've started making and modding my own. Thanks for letting me get a look at your toys and the blue hatchet and Kelly kettle were my favorite items in the box

[@AndrewBrown1234]

Fun Fact: Hebron high school were the 1952 IHSA state basketball champions! Its plastered through out the town!

[@Among-the-trees]

The storm kettle (kelly kettle) are a great bit of kit. I personally prefer the Ghillie kettle, due to the whistle.

[@PatrickReilly]

I got a Nebo flashlight through work called "Big Larry" (?) that uses one of those panel LEDs basically like a right angle flashlight that 2 AAs. It's cheap for sure, but just one panel LED from that thing did a really good job as a flood light during a recent power outage.

[@Jasonr291]

That blue hatchet is pretty cool all you have to do is strip the paint and polish. Send the handle and it’s a pretty bad ass hatchet.

[@HARMARSCH2]

Jeff upload your videos and I’ll watch. It doesn’t matter to me inside or outside.

[@joelilley3554]

That flashlight if you still have it would make a nice battery powered lantern for night fishing.

[@JonnyParker-]

Lanterns bring back mad memories of being lost in deep woods for hours hallucinating intensely trying to find a way out .

[@Juggalo10p]

Jonny Parker damn son I like the way you camp

[@vikingbrowski3718]

i have had similar experiences fun times

[@ashw113]

As others have said, I don't mind if you film inside or outside. I like both filming locations. The sound of melting snow or rain is always soothing when it shows up in your video... but I like the quiet inside and the view into the box too. Whatever works best for you!

[@19cohiba75]

Just picked up a Ozark Trail 14 person 4 room base tent on clearance from Walmart for $49 for camping this year !!! They also have a 12 person for the same price !!

[@andrewsinabutar560]

I have an idea for the hatchet. I don't think it's going to function as a log splitting or tree cutting, so i suggest to sharpen to a very acute angle (shaving sharp) and use it for a self defence against wild animal or used it for preparation in a camp or something

[@RoGuExPaNcAkE]

I really enjoyed this point of view. Really fun to see your reactions to things lol

[@T_M_T_9]

I like the two hands,table view but if you like being outside thats fine just do what makes you happy ;3

[@gunblast96]

I would get the sun glasses are for when it’s snowing to prevent snow blindness

[@kevinhuberty5447]

At the hardware store that I work at, we sell some Nebo lights and gear. Most of it feels pretty cheap. Especially the stuff under 10 dollars. They are one of our vendors I think.

[@MAXCOBRALAZERFACE]

I like these videos. There very entertaining but I would never buy a battle box. I’m picky about my gear.

[@williamjones484]

Hey Jeff just want to say i have owned a jelly kettle for a long time and they're actually really amazing, boils unbelievably fast and u can cook on top of it also

[@andrewryan5942]

Prefer this version!

[@brittwoodruff9369]

oh wow thats quite the box.... Ive wanted one of those Klax's for a long time, even with the concerns Id still take one.

[@vikingbrowski3718]

idk why but 18:51 in the video made me burst out laughing. Let me just hack this box bam bam i wasn't expecting it thought there was still stuff in the box.

[@hughjanus4881]

Looks like the mini ax might be to blame for the crack in the flashlight. Keep an eye on the chain for that kettle it might get pretty hot.

[@gabrielsturdevant9700]

Vaughn subzero pocket axes are the best available for a good price, they're 1080. when you sharpen it, dont make the mistake most do, sharpen it like you would a knife. 20 degrees or so. the only difference being make the bevel slightly convex

[@gabrielsturdevant9700]

the Klax however, is pretty shit compared to it.

[@TylerSnyder305]

gabriel Sturdevant Definitely , Vaughan & Bushnell mfg makes a great tool and their sub zero hatchet is no exception.

[@MrPingn]

I hear a lot of good things about the Kelly Kettle. Supposedly works like a chimney. Heats the water faster since the heat runs up the middle. It's probably worth more than the other stuff in my book.

[@WarGrrl3]

Kelly Kettles are fantastic n really boil water fast. Great for base camp. Wish you would say which gear comes in which level. Ty for all your helpful vids.

[@apodis4900]

That looks like a cool little lantern, but they chose badly sending the probably only cracked one to you. 😀 You might think they would take extra care when sending boxes to known reviewers. Still, these things happen. 😀 Great video.

[@elvinamillaneam]

Dude awesome bottle box... The Kelly kettle is awesome it has a one accessorie that allows cooking on top. The reviews on the kettle has been great. It comes in several sizes

[@DReynolds5294]

You've never seen the Kelly kettle? That surprises me. Thing is awesome

[@MrOmarhamidoo]

For the axe head just flip it so the blade is on the top. That way you won’t cut yourself if you actually slip

[@frankiejdwm_edc1037]

Vaughn is pretty high quality axes/hatchets, I'm in construction and I'd say they're right with Estwing.

[@frankiejdwm_edc1037]

Wanted to add on that those Klax hatchets are trash after every swing you have to tighten the thumb screw.

[@Mrtojo]

Since your so good with gear. What is a great head lamp? Need one for snow blowing in the morning and other dark activities.

[@TylerSnyder305]

Vaughan & Bushnell mfg is a great company who's been on top in the hammer game for the past 100 years. They make some great hatchets as well, not fancy and don't come sharp but the steel is great. This little sub zero hatchet is a real steal at $20 and the 1080 steel they use is great, plus it's the only hatchet in production today with convex cheeks. Once you put a great edge on it it'll sure outperform the GB mini. Btw battlebox ripped everyone off, they show the msrp for this Vaughan sub zero hatchet at $3 more than direct from the manufacturer and don't even include the sheath that comes with them. It's not a great sheath being that thick padded vinyl stuff, but they do normally come with them and they do work so it should be in there.

[@notdirtyflics1067]

You can put that ax head on upside down and you won't have to worry about that secondary blade

[@TheCattyKid]

honestly this is one of the video series you do that I look forward to in particular - its so late you usually do them in mid month its been like a month and a half - wasn't sure if you were even going to do one! lol

[@Herfmonster]

I like this Battlebox format better, and lets face it you can do it inside like this as well. I prefer to see the expressions on your face as you unveil each item of an unboxing.

[@sum47]

I actually have similar disposable glasses without the foam and the cords. My optometrist gives them out.

[@StealthandGhillies]

Ohhhh, Jeff... You gotta EDC that mini axe someday! Keep them vids coming! Greetings from Brazil!

[@dankenno]

I do prefer outside, but I'll watch your videos either way so it doesn't matter.

[@patrickg1383]

Nice hat Jeff. Lookin good

[@drivin69]

those canteen cookers are cool a bit too huge for me but they are causally the first kind they made i think the swiss created that particular desine way cool.. bit to bulky but very useful ..

[@jamierichards27]

Vaughn makes good solid but affordable tools. I have one of their claw hammers and it’s built like a tank. I have a friend who swears by their hand axes too. He uses the metal shafted ones not the wooden ones like this though.

[@MustaLaatta]

That Opinel was the real eye catcher, the rest umm...

[@planejet42]

Jeff, the ticks are supposed to be very bad this year in Ohio, PA, etc. Could you do a video on your thoughts on ticks and lyme disease? Thanks.

[@eddgutierrez5811]

Jeff i said this in another video you always flash your self why its funny great videos man

[@warpigs6616]

Cool flashlight

[@braddavenport1540]

your giving a lot of credit for some pretty crappy items!

[@nr-aussie3341]

brad davenport don't watch the channel then.....

[@braddavenport1540]

I love the channel just not some of the stuff in the box !!!!

[@crunch9876]

Pontus Asplund your a moron. Because he doesn’t like his opinion on one video he’s not allowed to watch the whole channel? He’s allowed to give feedback wether it’s positive or negative.

[@braddavenport1540]

thank you crunch ! you said it better than me I love Jeff he seems like a great guy the stuff in the box seemed cheap to me!

[@cutlerylover]

I give credit where credit is due, but these are just my opinions...as you can see with my knife reviews I can enjoy a $5 knife as much as a $500 knife...

[@______--_]

Love the outside unboxing 👍👍

[@LeonRFpoa]

pretty cool

[@blacksnow150]

kelly kettles are one of the best camping / survival items for boiling water .. super fast and efficient .you can burn grass, twigs, pine cones. newspaper ,, whatever ,,, you can use them anywhere as they have an enclosed fire box ,, you can carry water in them ,, infact their only downside is they are bulky due to the design but it's that same design that makes it so efficient ,,a must have item in my view ,,even for the home ,power cuts etc best thing in the box by far

[@rickygonzales252]

This kit looks nice man, it's been awhile since i seen a video like this with survival.

[@trapdoor3168]

You must have a house full of those little fist aid kits😂 still,I suppose it’s a case of the more the merrier 👍

[@schmojo33]

The Klax seems to be an axe designed by a person who doesn't use axes for people who also don't use axes. Years ago when I saw this axe come out, it was at that moment that I felt the survival marketing of gimmicky tools had reached it's lowest point. This just goes to show that people have forgotten what makes a good axe and why they are designed the way they are and how they are used. However it is understandable as chainsaws are awesome, especially if you have properly used axes for a while.

[@garyp610]

its way doing it this way and even doing it like that inside love the videos dude

[@mikecook8712]

Turn the klax over so the secondary blade is up then you can choke up..

[@dallascowboys8681]

That hatchet cracked your light lens.

[@JoelB1988]

I feel like you saw the axe for the pos it is straight away but then saw it's made in america and suddenly it was good 😂

[@yankeesaugust]

Nutnfancy did a review on that kettle, definitely want to see a video on it from you it looks interesting

[@everene1]

Please do another video on the Kelly Kettle

[@anthonymidwest4443]

You should do a video of camping me and the ol lady went last weekend thanks fir the great videos

[@macro820]

You never saw the Kelly kettle? Nutn would be disappointed!

[@user-qk2hz3fw8e]

To everyone commenting about the kettle I have one thing to say. The Russians have been doing it for centuries and it's called a samovar. (No I'm not Russian)

[@jaydig2]

they give those types of glasses when you get your eyes dilated at the eye doctor.

[@StetsonXD]

Send battlbox a message, I think they will send out a replacement for the lantern since it was damaged.

[@cbfall]

Totally Fantastic!!!

[@Maldunn]

I like this camera view, but this is your channel so you should do what you want to do. 40 degrees sounds pretty cold to be outside, but I'm from LA

[@porkbap55]

Kelly kettles are really good jeff got one plenty of videos on here about them great review as always indoors outdoors i personally aint bother keep it real mate all the best matt from the uk

[@Shanes_Sharp_Sheet]

Good vid jeff, thanx for all you do!.... speaking of all you do, any story time in the near future?

[@wayned5872]

Plenty of how to vids on the Kelly Kettle out here

[@olioli4057]

prefer inside but you do you man just keep up the great content!

[@84greenbear]

The problem with some of these "survival" type tools is that they don't perform specific tasks well they tend to perform a multitude of tasks poorly and sometimes with safety concerns.

[@brandonalderete6717]

he said forty degrees is warm, warm overhereis like 70 or 80

[@lanchesterrailfanner266]

Interesting...

[@brucemcconnell1467]

Things I like : fleece sleeping bag liner, small axe and kelly kettle. Things meh: lantern. The rest pretty much a waste of time and space. Good for the yard sale. The klecker klax looks dangerous. What if the thing works loose ?

[@KleckerKnives]

As the wood crushes, you just tighten it down more. The screw doesn't actually back out. I commented earlier with a lot more detail on this topic.

[@troywallech8179]

Awesome video

[@mattszymanski4684]

Are you going to return the flashlight/ lantern? If you do you could do a video on the response.

[@doobydoo88]

Would you really take a sleeping bag to a game, dose that happen in the US

[@duntonoutdoors4160]

You can get that lantern at harbor freight tools for ten dollars

[@CosmikHaze]

which subscription did you do? the 25$, $50, $100 or the $150 one???

[@jordan-it2xf]

hulk hogan glasses lol. thats wicked bad lol very cool my man

[@drtyboxer1]

Does that axe say fisher price in it.

[@johnbarron4843]

*More OTF knifes please!*

[@Coltthulhu]

Hey Jeff, where do you buy your paracord from? I like having a plethora of patterns.
