[@Rowdy216]

Glad to see some more enthusiastic unboxings again.

[@davidwubs7965]

Rowdy Yates true.

[@lhumanityl6695]

Those 2 AA batteries are worth more then that radio.LMAO

[@sharkieO_O]

I’m not sure why anyone hates this guy, he’s literally expressing his honest opinion on the products HE buys. If you can’t handle the truth then why are you here?

[@davidwubs7965]

DocP91B, I love you dude. 100% my favorite KZbinr right here. One of the only no bullshit youtubers left. There are so many people who have gotten so caught up in fame, money, and overall just themselves. I do not know you on a personal level. But i know you deserve way more then 25,000 subs.

[@DocP91B]

Thanks man! I really really appreciate that!

[@Rowdy216]

I agree. I love this channel because he's not sponsored, or trying to sell certain products for companies. When he reviews stuff it's just his opinion and nothing else. Gotta respect that.

[@badflower_ree5155]

So many people in the comments are hating. Like, it doesn't matter if this stuff is good or not. He payed for it and wanted to give us a review. So let him. If you dont like his videos dont watch. Don't subscribe. Dont like. Whatever just leave him alone.

[@jasonbourne187]

I love that you can hear the clicking of his dogs nails walking on the hard wood in the background.. He's a dog guy, that says a lot about a guy.. His opinion means so much more to me now.. haha

[@powerhouse721]

This was one of my favorite boxes, I wanted one of those solar power chargers and some of the stuff I wanted that came on the box. I camp and backpack a lot so it was pretty good IMO

[@r1w3d]

If you catch this comment I just wanted to say thanks for your service and I'm sorry your not still in as you speak excitedly about your time in. Great vid as always and this box was much better than usual 👍

[@coltsladies6848]

I like this box! Better gear than you’ve gotten from other boxes in the last couple of months.

[@johnnyday10]

The camping utensil set you can get from the UK version of dollar tree for only £1

[@trentdagamer5990]

12:15 Rick and morty intro intro in the background😂😂😂

[@severyxander7692]

TRENTDAGAMER I thought I was the only one

[@finnn4616]

yeah i heard that too i thought i was crazy.

[@shoegum7362]

Pro box - gets gasoline store beef jerky

[@hankyb7083]

Can you please do an edc video. Every fan that wants an edc video like this comment. Please doc

[@brotherrussia1719]

Should've tossed that beef jerky in the basic box, what a waste of a placeholder for the elite box

[@JohnnyVeritas]

I would be happy with that box. Great vid!

[@kyle7088]

Probably just me because I’m way too tall, but I was impressed by the sleeping bag! Hard to find good quality And price for that length! Keep up the great work Doc!

[@DocP91B]

You know that is a factor I often forget about, being a perfectly average height myself!

[@kyle7088]

DocP91B understandable, I’ll legit watch this again though and check it out. You have me hooked on a bug out bag. We need to compare notes sometime.

[@DocP91B]

I'm up for it. It would be great if we worked together or something.

[@psychosocialmaggot1202]

18:10 here in New Jersey otf switchblades and switchblades in general are illegal but assisted opening and spring assisted knives are legal.

[@davidwubs7965]

By the way. that jerky was unexpected.

[@brandondefend3431]

Walmart has a 3-piece set full size fork spoon knife for $0.86 why would they do that and monthly subscription box

[@whatfreedom7]

Brandon Defend I’m guessing they throw in cheap shit to balance out their budget and quantity for the better stuff like the sleeping bag and blankets and knives.

[@denizatesnak3691]

Roses are red Violets are blue I like my comment And so should you

[@DocP91B]

Ok. Good argument. You earned my like.

[@benhess807]

Roses by juice wrld...thats all I'm gonna say

[@ericstephenson8257]

Should have asked Survival Santa to put the damn card at the top of the box!

[@DocP91B]

I really should know to open the box upside down. The card is ALWAYS on the bottom.

[@AYellowPepper]

My favourite expression for "mystery steel" is (i think it was nick shabazz) the legendary "CPM LOL" xD

[@OtherThanIntendedPurpose]

the reason for the assisted instead of automatic on the OTF is that a lot of jurisdictions do not allow autos. you MUST have physical contact with the blade to make it legal. this, and the laws governing gravity blades are one of the big reasons behind flippers, because the piece you use to start it opening is a physical part of the blade.

[@labise9746]

the skull on the karambit dose look a lot like the cod black ops skull

[@shadowhawktalks7814]

I carried one of those for a couple years and never had any problem with the law

[@reesmillstead806]

Dude clip that dogs nails or take it for more walks..for a dogs claws to be making that much noise it isn't good...screw the loot box fix up your pup.

[@ScallopLover]

Happy new years

[@DocP91B]

Thank you! And to you!

[@raipogonowski8450]

Seems like a good box this month, the basic box was a win. Like so many "like it's"

[@juarezjaime3530]

A little late but happy new year just came to say that :)

[@DocP91B]

Thanks! And to you!

[@darthrevan4055]

That solar charger is the exact same one that the national guard gave me when I enlisted.... both of mine don’t recharge via the solar panel

[@williammaes]

Mine didn't either! Same exact one

[@mreditor9008]

Don't serrations seem a bit impractical on a karambit? Also the serrations look as though they were machined for a straight blade. Not for the durastic curve of a karambit.

[@DocP91B]

You're right about that. I didn't really even address that in the video. I don't think the serrations do much at all on the shape of a karambit. In my opinion those are there for looks more than anything.

[@mreditor9008]

DocP91B so doc, I was looking to buy a new cheap edc, and I was curious to hear your opinions on Schrade's M.A.G.I.C. assisted opening knives. Specifically the scha7b. It looks solid to me, but not too many KZbinrs cover this particular knife

[@DocP91B]

I have never put my hands on one. But if that is a request for a video, I'll see what I can do to get working on it because it does look like a different kind of Schrade. AUS-8 is not their typical steel and I'm curious.

[@mreditor9008]

DocP91B yeah that would be awesome to see in the near future. I hope it makes it into the works soon!

[@mreditor9008]

DocP91B also, my name is Travis Burgandy if you want to give me that zesty shout-out lol

[@ronaldhohnsbeen3231]

Doc would you recommend Cold Steel as a good knife brand? I have a Cold Steel Spartan and I was wondering if you could do a review on it.

[@curlywolfone]

Like the Con Tigo! Solar Chargers are good. The lighter is always good. Wool blankets are always good. Nice note pad. Throw the utensils on the pile. I hate the rubber handle on the knife, it gets gooey after awhile. You can always get a better radio at Walmart. Socks are good for a number of things. I use the sleeping bag as liner for my sleeping bag. Jerky’s okay. Another K knife for the pile. Schrade needs to get out of the OTF business.

[@thinetaco3722]

Wow I bought the same otf knife a few months ago at the flea market and sadly they don’t sell it on their web site any more

[@DocP91B]

I've ready that they sell an updated version now called the Viper 3.

[@MischiefGlowworm]

The otf knife is actually quite useful, carried the same one you got for quite awhile, obviously no heavy lifting will be done with it but for letters, boxes and the like. It's a fun, completely legal (in my state) little knife.

[@MischiefGlowworm]

The "viper" it's updated version is much better finished and it doesn't have the open air slot. It's nice.

[@koalabear4619]

The solar charger package said good for charging iphones ipads, and android phoHes, they typo never lies.

[@nicholasramsey7599]

Great Review doc I get the basic box and was really pleased. I thought the other levels were not as good. But was pleasantly surprised by the quality of some of the items you showed. I almost wish the karambit was in place of the other fixed blade in The basic. I don't have much use for one but it did look a step above in quality than the other. Can't believe they even bothered sticking the radio in there. They should have called that one 0 value. Great review and spot on thanks Doc.

[@zacharypeterson4669]

Love the videos, ready for a whole new year of awesomeness and hipefully many more.

[@funylee547]

Doc you always make my day

[@alytijo]

I like it!! Out of the 3 knives I like the Karambit and the beef jerky is making me hungry

[@Rowdy216]

As a fat guy, the beef jerky would definitely be in my like it pile lol.

[@DocP91B]

Maybe I was still full from all the MRE bits from the last video!

[@Rowdy216]

DocP91B that beef and black beans didn't look bad at all.

[@DocP91B]

I really do like MREs. They're not any worse than the stuff you get to stick in the microwave at home. I wouldn't want to eat them all the time, but I don't mind them at all.

[@Rowdy216]

I don't mind them either. Have you tried MRE's from different countries? Some of them look pretty impressive.

[@heneryslayzack1271]

that assisted would break if you ever accualy tried to use it for anything useful

[@KelliepbAclecticChannel]

LOVE THE SOCKS BLANKET THE LAST KNIFE AND SLEEPING BAG AND THE SOLAR CHARGER! TY GOD BLESS!

[@jaytheboss2208]

There was rick and morty in the background, he must be an intellectual

[@jaymorgan8684]

Thank you for your service

[@Xxxero42]

HA! I actually own the Schrade Assisted opening OTF. I bought it prolly 4 years ago and I did EDC it for a couple of years (but not heavy use) I still love it, but it ended up being to flashy for any kind of EDC. As soon as you open it, the sound it makes, people turn their heads and take notice. lol. But I still have it, and use it occasionally.

[@trey1645]

14 sounds like a nice time. I’m in Minnesota, where it might hit -50 with the wind chill this weekend 😂

[@DocP91B]

+Trey Perez I think we can all agree, at least we are not in Minot, ND.

[@82nddoc30]

enjoy your reviews from one medic to another great job same company makes some nice small straight blade knives with same finish and sheaths they run about $20 one has about the same handle as the karambit i like them pretty well use one as an edc back up knife and one on my plate carrier love shtf gear for the most part pretty good value

[@ericstephenson8257]

I just can't help but have no interest in karambits. Outside of a fighting knife, I just dont see it as a practical blade and how many folks spend a good amount of their time throwing down in an impromptu West Side Story style knife fight? And definitely cannot use as an EDC blade. Looks cool on a rack or a display, but what else can you do with it? As a gift, I'd say it was cool, but wouldnt spend my money on one.

[@DocP91B]

I wonder if there is a switchblade karambit out there somewhere...

[@markthoms385]

Thanks for a great year of excellent videos!!!

[@jaredtyra6311]

I do like these box openings

[@kyleschmits974]

Says 13.98 for that sleeping bag in this CH kadels magazine ...

[@ethanthomas5393]

When shit hits the fan, you want something to have something to eat

[@plhumber7073]

At least they don't count the bottle opener as a 4th piece in the utensils set

[@plhumber7073]

Pls like if you agree

[@sebastianadams7460]

I want the Karambit so bad

[@mychalprochnow2457]

Not seen the video yet but I know it's gonna be good

[@DocP91B]

Hopefully it lived up to expectations.

[@bartmcalister4957]

Not a bad box at all scored some pretty good items

[@b3_op103]

I could understand why the karambit would be handcrafted in china because its a really popular weapon style in south asia from what ive heard

[@mountainprepper3837]

8:32 thats not a knoife this is a kniofe

[@Caddowolf]

I think the basic box is well worth the money, but it goes downhill from there. I hate karambits. I have the same sleeping bag I got from Wish for $17.50 including shipping. I like it. Don't like OTF knives. I do like Shrade. Like the socks too.

[@JH-xf3zr]

Lol "it just needed pocket time"

[@justinaltobelli9774]

I’ve been watching you since 19k

[@uncle_thulhu]

Yes, Zippos are considerably higher quality, but jet lighters burn MUCH hotter.

[@DocP91B]

I've found butane jet inserts that you can put into Zippos. Kind of the best of both worlds I guess.

[@micmc8145]

Zippos leak very easily .A good quality jet lighter will last year's I have 2 turbo flame military lighters .I lost one in an old jacket I don't wear often. found it again over a year later and it lit up first attempt (had bought a replacement in the meantime) highly recommend them. ( www.turboflame.co.uk/index.php/products/retail-packs/gx7rmilitary.html )exact one im on about

[@uncle_thulhu]

@@micmc8145 Zippos can leak, yes, but in my experience, they're a hell of a lot more reliable than the average jet lighter. Almost every one I've owned hasn't survived its first refill. They lose pressure, or something.

[@payat66]

Another great video Doc. Keep up the good work.

[@Thugorp]

Hey Doc. Another great vid. Also,(and I say this knowing that I risk being the complainy guy) I really like your videos, so know when I comment it is only suggestions that I make because I want them to be better.... I might also be wrong so do what you will with my advice. You have been filming from closer and closer in during your unboxing vids for a while now. It used to be that we could actually see your, "like it," and, "don't like it," piles. This video was so close that the knife was longer than our perspective viewpoint could see. Maybe back it up a bit. Do you need a tripod? I have a spare one you could use if you need one.

[@DocP91B]

+Thugorp I thought the same thing when I watched this one. Legit speaking, this box was so big it took up a big part of the frame. I ended up with some weird blocking for the rest of the items, and the problem is compounded by the fact that it's filmed with the box on a table. Back in FL I used to film on the ground such allowes for a lot more clearance with the tripod. The solution is simple - I should just film on the floor indoors like I do outdoors and then the distance from the camera won't be any problem. Thank for getting me on the right track thinking about it!

[@Thugorp]

Thanks man. Oh, also that comment was made before the vid was done playing on my end. I should add that the full box presentation at the end is a GREAT! and welcome new feature. You moved? Where's the fam. living now? Good luck in your new digs.

[@alexwithanova7886]

You should try bushcraft

[@legitgamer2242]

I got that 3 pcs utensil set for a couple of dollers with gst you can bend the knife blade

[@donovanschauer8857]

The solar charger is only $9

[@kendysard5547]

a karambit in a survival box is not ideal but it is one of the most deadly knifes on the market along with the W.A.S.P injector knife or the M48 cyclone

[@gabrieljames2096]

SHTF is usually pretty good

[@monaangeloutdoors514]

Love the unboxing videos! 👍 and when you test out gear! Thanks

[@zach_barstow]

I'm not a huge fan of scharade but that knife is awesome!!!

[@coyote4936]

i like that schrade assist otf it is legal in texas

[@bobRoss-ue4gh]

I love the videos and was wondering if you could do a review on the shrade otf because it's the only legal otf knife in Canada and there aren't that many reviews on it.

[@richsmout550]

Nice unboxing looking forward to seeing the reviews for these. I have been ill over Xmas and just realized I totally missed you big giveaway. Oh well there is always next time

[@DocP91B]

I'm really sorry to hear that Rich. But yes, there will be another around the corner!

[@richsmout550]

DocP91B No worries I will keep an eye out.

[@coryjohnson6817]

Got any decent axes?

[@powerhouse721]

Holy shit that’s crazy I had mine like 2 weeks ago lol

[@DocP91B]

+powerhouse721 Mine just got sucked into a FedEx black hole in Georgia. They didn't even know what happrned to it. It disappeared for 8 days and then just showed up again.

[@squatchtopicp.a.]

That was an awesome box

[@travisthompson6402]

Really good video keep u the good work, ok i'm wanting to start getting a box but what company do u sagest( SHTF Mystery Gear ELITE Box or Survival box gear only)

[@reverendstephenlina7380]

That’s a solid box and you missed one thing in your like it pile. Not One bottle opener. Haha. Also I’m with you on Karambits. Cool knives but the vast majority of people carrying them don’t have a fraction of the training required to me them even marginally effective with them. Personally, I carry a knife as a tool. Self defense doesn’t factor very highly in my knife buying decision process. Overall great box and great video though.

[@ksstg581]

Good one, doc- thanks!

[@tinaritter2940]

That's the exact same blade the mtech survival knife just a different handle

[@rexxer6456]

Site your camera in, most of what you are showing is above range

[@seanross4202]

Great review

[@grimreaper6557]

thanks Doc another great video and yes this was a good box 2 bad item out of all those others thats especially great for SHTF

[@robgoodson7506]

What was your branch and mos?

[@DocP91B]

8 years in the army, 19D and 91B/C back when that was still medical. 13 years Air Force T1C571D.

[@robgoodson7506]

DocP91B...I was a 19D. Got hurt on my first deployment and got forced out on a medical discharge. I loved every day I was in the Army. I really miss it. Just wanted to know what your experience was. Thanks. Scouts out.

[@crusher3139]

Great review....

[@exsidus]

Shit.. this was a good box.. I wished I had subscribed for this box.. 1- it has a lot of awesome shit.. and 2- I could of given that bag.. socks and blanket to a homeless person down in center city... awesome unboxing .. great video..

[@nickmiller3796]

Cool box this month.

[@bo49685]

This doesn’t pertain to the box but can you tell me what kind of watch your wearing? It looks pretty cool and I’d like to go check it out on the website and get a better look at it. Is that your main survival watch?

[@marvinkuhn2873]

The solar charger won’t charge 🙁

[@jhipp6009]

I don't really understand why OTF's are illegal to carry pretty much everywhere. It's still a knife. If I can carry my blur why can't I carry my Delta Force? Maybe I'm being dumb. Mine can't even shoot through cardboard.

[@nite999wolf]

Thanks for the video! I don't understand why the Karambit style knife should EVER be in a survival/SHTF box. 1. It is strictly a fighting knife, not multi use. 2. From my research it takes a completely non instinctual form of knife fighting to use it. 3. It's ugly as hell. I would go up against anyone that has a karambit using my Kershaw Camp 10 and win.

[@astrokid1214]

Will you check out a spyderco waved delica thanks...if you want to

[@кяуртіс]

10 bucks for a decent lighter is pretty good my dude.

[@krisp2186]

Great video doc

[@samanthawoodall1954]

Am I the only one who heard Rick and Morty intro

[@Frostyplanty]

What do you think of the sharade old timer

[@matsbosman93]

Doc if you like solar chargers maybe you should check out the Waka Waka power+

[@DocP91B]

+Mats Bosman Thanks, I'll give it a look!

[@itsawonderfulknife7031]

It always amazes me how eager people are to throw away their hard earned money on boxes of crap. Throw the words “tactical”, “combat” or “field” on any garbage equipment and people go nuts over it. Great marketing aimed at the uninformed. Save the $80+ per month up for a few months and buy quality gear.

[@NeedingNewName]

Phil Johnson you know he was in the military right? He reviews them to test if they are good or not. He then tells us his opinion. Just saying...

[@itsawonderfulknife7031]

alex nguyen I hear you. I was in the military as well here in Canada. My point is, that there are people who think this stuff is the coolest stuff ever, and they’re willing to pay a mark up on cheap gear.

[@NeedingNewName]

Phil Johnson I see what you mean now. Sorry for the inconvenience

[@borgey3626]

A lot of people like the surprise, like its not allways the best gear but if you enjoy getting random stuff then who cares?

[@itsawonderfulknife7031]

Borgey Surprises are fun...if you’ve got the dough to just throw away.
