When you said Thompson ground squirrel I pictured a squirrel holding a Tommy gun with a bowler hat and smoking a cigar

[@DocP91B]

That ia so much cooler than what they are. Man...I wonder if someone can engineer that.

[@thenuclearnarwhale9188]

That would be amazing

[@gingerbowman4574]

The more videos I see of the PMP box the more I’m liking it. @DocP91B I’m new to your channel and really enjoy your reviews... Thank You Sir

[@DocP91B]

Thank you very much? And please feel free to use the links in the description to makes requests or suggestions if there's something you'd like to see, or thinks there's something that we should take a look at.

I don't know man. Where I'm from we used rocks with our slingshots as kids.

Ive never clicked a notification faster 😂 idk why im so excited for this box bUT WHOO😂

[@jasonclark8921]

Thanks for all the unboxing videos they are very helpful and keep me from buying junk I don't need. I value your opinion and trust your judgment on products.. Thanks and keep the great videos coming.

[@amberk918]

a classic case of "if I fits, I sits"

[@jfreeman1549]

Doc, slide your hand through the the brace on your slingshot come from the bottom side through to the grip. This will allow you to pull it back much easier and improve shot power and accuracy. These are actually fun and deadly with a little practice. Overall a descent box. Not blown away but useful items if you don’t have them.

[@OtherThanIntendedPurpose]

I have some experience with a slingshot, but I do not claim to be an expert. that is a decent one to learn with. you would want something with a bit heavier band for hunting though. that shot is again, good to learn with, but you might get heavier balls for hunting. and as far as the usefulness of a slingshot in hunting, as well as survival: they are a tool. much like any other tool the effort you put in to learning it's use will determine how it serves you. when you bought your first handgun, did you throw it in a bag, and wait until it was life or death to try it out? no, you practiced, and learned, and became proficient. same thing here.

[@krfitz6927]

One of the things that draws me to your videos is you are never afraid to admit when you are unfamiliar with something. Thank you for your consistent honesty.

[@DocP91B]

Thanks! I really appreciate that!

[@koalabear4619]

Another awsome vid, glad to have a new subscription box

[@PoorMansPreparing]

Thank you!

[@thegit8698]

I've got to be honest, that box looks like it has a lot of promise, no nonsense gear that you can actually put to use, I fkn love kukri shaped blades and would love to own a genuine Nepalese made kukri but that one looks like it is good quality, slingshots are huge fun I've had quite a few and am buying one Friday, if you put some decent tubes on that one it would probably be a decent slingshot, good quality tubes or bands make a big difference as long as the slingshot itself is sturdy, even that shovel looks like it is good quality, you scored Doc!

[@krknfmkr8919]

Email this address or see if you can find there KZbin channel. [e-mail]. They sell Nepalise kukris that are hand made. They have a video on KZbin about how they make them. They sell for about $70 US

[@rlh766]

I get this box. Jason is the guy behind it. The winner of season one Alone used that Kukri and the winner of season 3 used that shovel.

[@guncotton1950]

best box ever i think - cheers Doc

[@mattvail5598]

Look up zackary Fowler he'll show you how to use the shovel and the slingshot

[@polerbear1565]

Yes for those questioning they do actually teach you combat with your e-tool in the military..the e-tool/mini shovel was one of the most deadliest melee combat weapons in ww2

WWI in the trenches too.

[@xvaldez3284]

Zachary fowler from ALONE can vouch for that shovel. He survived 81 days in Patagonia with that shovel instead of an actual knife or axe.

[@DocP91B]

But could he have survived 81 days in downtown Detroit with it???

[@chemistryofquestionablequa6252]

[@jeremymeline6854]

Out of all the boxes I watch you open PMP is by far my favorite. I've been binging on your videos for 3 days now😂

[@charleswebberley5085]

3/8 is about normal for sling shot ammo as far as I know

[@Claybo]

The shovel from cold steel is also balanced for throwing. Pretty cool product video watching them throw them

[@PoorMansPreparing]

Peeta approved? Enough said lol. Yeah I would put that ammo in a different bag or case for sure, I had them spill open on me. The Cold Steel Shovel and the Condor Kukri both were used by 2 different people to win the that TV show Alone (Zachary Fowler & Allen Kay) which is pretty cool and an tell for their quality! I am glad you enjoyed the box overall and appreciate you even giving my small company a chance! If anyone wants to try it out for themselves here is a link Prep Box by PMP - poormanspreparing.com/prep-box/ There will be a lot more emergency supply types of gear coming soon so don't worry! Great video doc, and my name is Jason!

[@DocP91B]

I'm really curious about the mystery of the pre-order for the March box. I wish I could throw down for it now!

I wish I could offer a discount but I really don't make much money, as I grow and get more customer I might be able to do that for Doc!

[@peterk6982]

Am really like this kukuri and off course I like new show presenter Peeta

[@Caddowolf]

Seems to me that a box called Poor Man's Preparing should have an option cheaper than 100 bucks. Not that this one isn't worth the price. I wouldn't pay that much for that shovel or the Khukri, mostly because I don't need them. I actually don't need any of the items in this box, but the value is ok. Worth $100 but not $165. A poor man can't afford to spend $100 and not know exactly what he's getting. I'm a poor man and I cannot afford this box.

[@PoorMansPreparing]

I am a poor man preparing, my service is call the Prep Box.

[@Caddowolf]

@@PoorMansPreparing Whatever, dude, I can't afford this box!

[@kidthorazine]

1/4'' is a little small for slingshot ammo but the standard you usually see is 3/8'' which isn't much bigger. If you want bigger ammo you can use 1/2'' glass ammo.

[@samc705]

Some pretty nice gear, those little shovel/spades are quite useful, I especially like the round end instead of the handle variety, but I'll stick with my NATO issued folding E Tool (for now), slingshots can be really effective at shorter ranges and are generally quiet (like you I reckon that the ammo should be included with the slingshot as an all in one item). *THAT KUKRI* !!! That's a thing of beauty, looks a wee bit "weighty" though, but that can only help when you're hacking through stuff, right? Nice box and well done PMP. Winner winner chicken dinner!

[@PoorMansPreparing]

Thank you very much!!

[@sebastianmangeescobosa5194]

I like the box, it has just a few items but good items, and keep the shovel!! it's your you bought it and I think its cool you keep it and use it, we will enjoy it through the videos, keep rocking Doc, BTW the Patina in the Mora knife that you advise me it looks awesome Thank you so much!!!

I have to say they were all good items. I have seen several PMP boxes mostly good stuff.

[@randallkelley3599]

We had jungle survival in Panama around 1980's. We were issued a smaller shovel but I brought my own, a German one with no folding head. TI showed us how to sharpen on river rocks, and cut down bamboo to make shelters. So who ever told you air force doesn't train w/ shovels is incorrect, at least we did in 80's.

[@HarshmanHills]

interesting kit. never been big on subscriptions though.

So along time ago when I first started watching KZbin my man, hate to plug another channel, Tac did a review of the Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel. Great shit mang.

[@NSMyconaut]

I have considered PMP just haven’t tried yet. I almost did when he still had the $50 box. I like what I see though. I’d like to see a sort of hard use test on the Cold Steel. Also excited about the new Kubey knives! I know that will definitely be one of my choices in the giveaway!

[@wanderingbear9800]

Maybe do a wood choppin test with the shovel. See if it works as an improvised axe.

[@GoodOlBoy1976]

I like that box and everything is awesome.

[@billzygmunt4163]

the shovel, its a great piece of kit, modeled after the Russian military especially Spetzatz units utililize this item, well the Russian version.I modified one of my surplus Molle e tool pouches to put on my pack, out of package you don't have to sharpen it but.... I couldnt help myself and had to sharpen it more. I havent had to use it as a defense tool and hope i never have too but I will say from experience with some practice it makes a great Projectile

[@Lyactvmtb]

The shovels sharpened edge is made for twigs, bamboo, and chopping firewood to smaller pieces aswell

[@Eldofarmboy]

The owner of PMP's name is Jason. Really nice guy

[@PoorMansPreparing]

Thanks man!

[@scubagonz]

I have two of those shovels. Best camping shovel I've ever had. Just for fun, I have even used it as an ax to trim some large branches from a tree. Also, since the handle is only held on with 2 screws, you can change it to a longer one quickly.

[@coreycarver9974]

That cat is awesome. He needs his own merch

[@lynnmasoner7627]

Love the E trenching tool , I like the ammo for the sling shot(already have a good wrist rocket) and I already have a fairly decent machete that is good for my needs. So 2 things out of the box in my opinion not really worth the price for this poor person

[@CiCiirishkitty]

You can shoot an arrow from a sling shot as well. Jfyi. Awesome video!

[@oddsavage]

Peeta tested, Peeta approved!

[@krknfmkr8919]

I keep my shovels very sharp (like you said "axe sharp") for two reasons; in disputes with my neighbors the sharp edge proves it is mine. Neighbor "that's my shovel" me "check the edge" Neighbor "ok nobody else keeps them that sharp" And also it works better, especially if you have sod or roots. Rocks will chip it but a quick touch up with the file fixes that

[@krknfmkr8919]

Yeah you thought I was going to say I slashed them didn't you?

[@teraza95]

A slingshot is one of the best survival weapons in my opinion and I hunt with them. Athough I don't have any knowledge on that particular slingshot I don't like that style with the arm rest on as they aren't compact. You would actually be surprised how easy it is to get accurate enough to take game with it, squirrels and birds on branches are easy game with a slingshot after just a few hours of practice. I use a small compact steel slingshot. It is so small I can keep it in my pocket and or bug out bag with no worries, it's light weight, can take lots of game, and if need be I can use stones as ammo to take game so ammo isn't an issue. I would recommend all preppers/survivalists look into slingshots

[@100mmtubeofjustice7]

over all, I like the box, I do like the sling but I've got the training for it, oh btw the shot holder is called a 'cup', I agree cold steel is hit and/or miss at times, but this shovel reminds me of the old Spetznats shovel, the condor kuk looks pretty good, look forward to seeing some more of them.

[@SonoraSlinger]

That shovel, is legit the Mora of shovels

[@mountainprepper3837]

[@skagee3320]

Cold Steel Shovel is the bomb...

[@kirkchartier7141]

*Cold Steel's special forces shovel is AWESOME. Owned a few gifted many to friends including soldiers. Made sure to take mine when I deployed overseas and added to battle belt. Like almost all Cold Steel products the sheath is pathetic, it is better than some, but far short of truly good use for a tool/weapon. Kydex sheath with adjustable tension and multiple mounting options and maybe a pocket for survival gear or sharpening tool would also be great. Would really like to see Cold Steel make a better synthetic handle. Listed price seems high. *Sling shot is a solid model with lots of adjustment. But the standard bands I hate (the ones where they cut the band and run it through the pouch holes and then run the other end back through it) I like the ones where the pouch is attached to the band by a plug that goes into the ends of the surgical tubing. The former type is constantly tearing right at that point where it was cut before. Would really like to see a double band on each side to really beef it up. *The Condor knife looks more like a show piece than a useful tool/weapon. Handle too smooth if you had to thrust and hit something solid would your hand slide off on to the blade. The sheath is too secure you would still be trying to unsnap it when someone guts you with a $3 box cutter. Cold Steel's Chaos Kukri's sheath requires rocking the blade to get out of the sheath which is better but still not optimal quick draw.

[@trailscoutmtb7481]

you forgot he sent paper for your paper test so you don't have to run around and look for some...lolz peetas funny😀

[@k.b26]

I was once like u on cold steel. That all change when i bought that little shovel u have there. Then I bought khukri. I love that they have lower priced knifes and high end knifes. Its all in what u want. Never had one problem out of any product. If u want a great multi use knife. Check out cold steels bushman pal series. Low price 20 to 30 bucks and they are built to work.

[@psychopathis2405]

[@PewPrepTrek]

Excellent unboxing video review, brother. I really like how you give your opinion and thoughts on each item. I personally wasn't aware of the History Channel show "Alone" until researching these items. Then I was super impressed seeing these items being used in the wild. Both the kukri & the entrenching tool are freaking awesome. If you have not watched the show yet, do yourself a favor. Season 1 has the Condor Heavy Duty Kukri. Season 3 has the Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel. Seasons are on Hulu, btw. PMP really killed it this month, in my opinion, and just keeps getting better and better. He's definitely legit and a force to be reckoned with. Keep up the excellent work, DocP91B. I look forward to more of your videos, Sir.

I like the slingshots with arrow rest/whisker biscuit attachments, fun to shot cans with and then throw in an arrow for the archery target.

[@e.overbay7949]

I use marbles or 1/2 in. to 3/8. Steel shot when I shoot packs a big punch with heavy bands. But hard clay shot is great for practice. Its cheap. Your Marksmen is a good entry level sling.

I like the Box deal I've been wanting to get a condor Gurkha knife and a shovel I love even looked at slingshots. I'm going to have to look into this company that you can buy a box each month seems feasible

[@basquo2]

I'm sure others will tell you, but that shovel is a combination axe and shovel tool. Great vids lately!

[@JD_79]

I don't like the idea of getting slingshots in serious prepper/survival boxes because I don't have the skills to use them and so to me they are more a novelty or toy than a tool. At first I thought the shovel was rather meh, but the more I thought about how I would use that while hiking the more I liked it. No folding handle to worry about collapsing during hard work, a sharper edge and shallow scoop for less resistance penetrating different ground types which could be good considering you don't have the full handle of a standard gardening shovel to put your weight into, a solid sheath you don't have to worry about coming apart and dropping your shovel somewhere on the trail, and construction beefy enough to use to smack your way through some underbrush. I don't know, could be a good camping shovel. I'm interested to hear your follow up impressions after using it. As for being a "special forces" shovel, I don't know about that. But it looks like it could do some serious damage to someone if you smacked them with it.

[@luisas1989]

[@Smitty5877]

It's called a wrist rocket

[@craigreimer4117]

We called them wrist rockets and I went through more than a few in my teen years. We never used the ball bearings, we would walk the railroad tracks and gather those iron ore balls that were laying everwhere.I shot and ate lots of rabbits. Mine was quite a bit bigger than that one. another reason we likes those tacanite pellets was they were the size of a small marble and you could see where you missed what you were shooting at. Condor knives are one of my favorites. Later DOC>
