Unboxing : Overview Of Lansky T.A.S.K. (Tactical Apocalypse Survival Kit)

[@opibegoob7585]

You comment on how hats should be worn made me so happy!

[@TheCheemstar]

The flat bills are a completely different design of hat it's not just how you wear them, bending a flat bill would just permanently ruin the hat

[@gunnerguy123456789]

Anonymous good those hats attract a obnoxious crowd

[@LanskySharpeners]

Thanks for recognizing that. I'm definitely at home right now doing this out of my own interest and care for Jeff's following. It just warms our hearts here at Lansky to see people get pumped about sharp metal objects!

[@misesmedicine]

No emergency shelter, no container for water, and a whopping 10 feet of cordage from a bracelet. At least when hypothermia/dehydration inevitably set in the paracord might be long enough to hang oneself.

[@alanweak]

LifeWater makes a water container unnecessary. Unless you're trying to survive in an area with no nearby lakes or ponds. Then yeah I suppose you're a bit screwed.

[@mobdropshot8461]

+ThisisAlan But if you're in that situation you were screwed from the start

[@LanskySharpeners]

That's definitely a reason to buy a company's products. I've been watching Jeff's videos since 2008. There's definitely a lot of Cutlerylover heart imbedded in the office here at Lansky. Thanks for your support Lee.

[@nicorivera2459]

if you like spring multi tools get the Gerber suspension it has no spring but has some sort of hidden suspension in it it's really inexpensive it's only like $35

[@LanskySharpeners]

It's made of about a 240+ Denier nylon. The stitching is adequately tight. There's no frame in the bag, so if you like something stiffer, either throw in a rifle plate or fill up your hydration bladder with air (blow through the tube) as you drink the water. The bladder filled with air/water will allow for some stiffness to manage the weight distribution of whatever's in your pack. Otherwise, this bag is very flexible and could be bundled into a ball if nothing's inside. Cheers!

[@cutlerylover]

the carbide sharpeners scrape way too much metal off your edge ruining the bevel and your angles, if you need to get an edge on a butter knife in 5 seconds sure it will work but its crude and you need a ton of work afterwards to fix what it does to the edge

[@cutlerylover]

paired with a hatchet or ax its not really necessary, but of course even as they say this is a basic kit to be fine tuned for everyones needs

[@LanskySharpeners]

1075 steel. We've thrown that axe through some hard tests and it's done fine. No shattering or spontaneous combustion that's we've reported. I could prefer a little higher carbon content, but it's hard to feel the difference. If it doesn't perform for you, definitely let us know.

[@cutlerylover]

initail impression is the kit is worth wild but the price may be a bit much for whats in there, the idea is perfect if you swapped out a few items...I didnt show the other items included like the fire steel and the puck sharpenener

[@LanskySharpeners]

We love to see the creativity. Our intended P.O.U. (Philosophy Of Use) for that square would be for holding the bits included in the sheath. Good luck opening those doors! You may just want to use the philips head to do a complete knob replacement.

[@LanskySharpeners]

The Blademedic doesn't leave my pocket. Just actually lent it to a buddy to hit up a razorblade's edge. Glad to hear your enthusiasm for the TASK and Medic!

[@poopRscoop14]

Haha jeff i completely agree with you on the hats! The bill is only manufactured flat simply because its easier to manufacture...youre supposed to bend it when you buy it so it actually fits your head and keeps the sun from your eyes

[@CommonCentsOutdoorsman]

Love the Lansky 8" ceramic sharp stick... fast, easy, clean and effective. I didn't know they made knives and tools either.

[@LanskySharpeners]

Fire-side story time! Those are some of the best videos to fall asleep to... or to stay awake to when you should be sleeping.

[@jimbojones485]

Believe me Jeff, I hear what you're saying. I think companies should do more stuff like this to get their product out there in order to increase sales. I myself have a small side business also. I think Lansky makes a great line of sharpening products and would definitely look into purchasing one if I were looking to do so. What I see here, at least at first glance, is a company throwing together a piece of kit in order to jump on board with a trend.

[@cutlerylover]

have you seen my EDC's, lol I over carry but never mind the weight, I dont go on 50 mile hikes, so its never an issue

[@strangebirdsir]

At first glance, seems like it would be a decent "starter" bob bag. For someone like me, it would provide a good foundation to build off of. My financial situation prevents me from being able to build a nice one, but this would get the job done for a short while I would imagine.

[@JaggeryOfficial]

So cool to see Lansky getting involved at this level, really good show for the company. I'm in the UK and will probably find some way of getting my hands on this kit, looks awesome! Also definitely getting a blademedic, my god that little thing is so damn cuuute!

[@dukesilver2308]

Jeff you should go on a hike/overnight camping trip and bring the camera along....hiking vids with some awesome bushcrafting vids at your campsite would be awesome.

[@LanskySharpeners]

It does have a fire steel incorporated. Jeff must not have seen it. We are in the process of making the med kit for our systems. Sorry if the price is steep. Your feedback is precious to us and it won't go unheard.

[@cutlerylover]

Id recommend this to everyone if the price was $75...at $200 its a bit of a stretch but the idea is great and its still a decent option to work off of...

[@LanskySharpeners]

That makes our hearts sing. Keep yourself posted for future fun and giveaways!

[@cutlerylover]

I dont have a bias for reviews looking at it I assume the knife.multitool,and flashlight are all chinese made crap, but I wont know until I use it, and crap to me is great for someone else, not everyone can afford to put together a bob for $1500...and when you get top notch stuff the bills add up fast

[@KronikLight115]

JEFF!! When are you going to bring back those awesome story times? Please bring them back, they were one of my most favourite things of your channel. Great video, thanks!

[@danielrogers4891]

The bit in the back is not for hydration it is meant for a water proof bag for such things as important paper work of wet clothing. but i guess you could use it for a hydration pack

[@Mortaxe]

Interesting look at the items. I too had never seen any of their other products asides from their sharpeners. Neat stuff.

[@LanskySharpeners]

The pricing of a homemade TASK could be all over the charts. Thanks for acknowledging the truth!

[@AltairDhauglu]

I like the bag, the axe seems nice, the multitool and folder don't impress me but are ok. Really like that there's a water filter and the medic is really cool!

[@LinxTheWolf]

The handle of the axe is also good because tree/wood prevents blisters and most pains from certain handles.

[@TheGrue129]

Awww the hats with straight bills drive me nuts too!

[@subatomicflame]

Well the members of the knife communities are quite enamored with sharp metal objects..... :D Great set-up with this bag!! Thanks for taking the time to do this giveaway. Hoping I can grab one of these to keep my sharp metal objects sharp!!!

[@reapersoulman]

carbide sharpeners take alot of extra metal off each time you use them so it damages your blade more than a stone or ceramic.

[@DannoCrutch]

199 does seem like a hefty sum. Went to their site, and the axe is about 90 bucks, 20 bucks for the knife. So, that is adding up real fast. I like the idea of a prefab BOB, but that is only a primer to a true BOB, imho.

[@LanskySharpeners]

I've heard them referred to as aspherical lenses. Really I like to say the flashlight has an optic instead of a reflector. I don't think "convex" would be false, though.

[@jasonharris1636]

having to wait 5 minutes for you to pull the first item out of the box is waaaaaaay Alabama too long, mate!🇳🇿🏈💙

[@cutlerylover]

1st of all what something looks like means nothing second come on Jeff? whats that suppose to mean?

[@BudgetBugout]

Hm, the bugout kits that I assemble are similar cost, but better quality. I'm uploading a video of them soon. I love your vids!

[@wheelspinner20]

I really just like watching Jeff open boxes, there is something exciting about opening new stuff, even when you know whats in it. Strange. Am I wierd? Maybe I shut it off a little early, but I don't remember you stating on the open box video what the price of the product was? That would have been nice in the first half somewhere. If you did, i missed it. Love the vids though, keep them coming.

[@LanskySharpeners]

We don't like to imagine that possibility. As long as there's a Cutlerylover fan base, you guys (and gals) will have that discount.

[@LanskySharpeners]

I (Alex @ Lansky) would recommend either the SOG Blink or Flash 1. Both of those knives have their intended purpose. Check out reviews to make the right choice. Cheers!

[@Mark-sn6kh]

Mile or two hike? That's the size of an all day bag... If you like to carry tons of stuff on a day hike. :P good video, Jeff.

[@thenextarcher]

looks like lansky partnered up with gerber... That multitool is a gerber suspension. I am guessing gerber made them for lanskey... Out of my 25ish multi-tools i have I hate the suspension the most... Honestly I am not a fan of lansky or gerber...

[@poopRscoop14]

well the lense is convex shape because of how it bends outwards im not sure if it would have another name specific to flashlights or lenses though

[@M3iscool]

That hatchet is very interesting, I have not seen a shape like that before...

[@mintyvision8464]

i love my lansky crock stick sharpener. it does a great job and was a really reasonable price.

[@anthonymidwest4443]

Oxygen key also doubles as locked hose opener on the side of buildings

[@generikLIFE]

i love my lasky sharpening system, but i dont like it when companies make things out of there comfort zone. i wouldent buy a lansky knife or multi tool. just like i wouldent buy a glock hunting rifle (if they made one). companies that make a good product of one kind usaly make crap for anything else. if you read this jeff what do you think?

[@jimbojones485]

Futhermore, I still look forward to your review. What I said are my own initial impressions of what I've seen and I think my predictions will hold true. I think it comes down to perceived value. At $200 I cant justify it. For the same money I can purchase quality (not expensive) tools and have the same system in place.A good example are my Mora knives. A high quality product for a good price. I didn't think a $12 knife would become one of my top 3. Again, thats good value.

[@1975acidburn]

The Ferber is my edc blade from Iraq, also with the mil issue multitool. Can't wait for the review on your new gear

[@SUPERBOWLXLVIICHAMPS]

I just saw fred hart got a CRKT knife just like that except it was smaller and spring assisted but it had the same blade design it looked like the same knife just smaller I think it was called the HEIHO

[@joepicone5136]

don't know how you feal Jeff, but I think it's unexeptable for a sharpening brand company to release a cutting tool with that edge

[@campfirewhittler]

I agree with you about the brim of the hat 100%.

[@Kobra1029]

Jeff, any experience with the Lightning OTF Knife or the Titan? I'm thinking about getting the titan as its cheaper and I can get a plain edge but it seems like the lightning is better quality. Great video by the way; very cool of Lansky to send that.

[@BMW3260]

Also life straw is a good bonus. Who wants a folding a knife in a survival situation umm not me needs a good fixed blade and the biggie what about fire nothing to make fire with. Guess youll have fun rubbin those sticks together.

[@MrFomhor]

Hmm; I thought that that multitool looked familiar. It's a Ganzo 310-model, supposed to have a knifeblade made of 440c-steel, according to a certain homepage. I will probably get one for myself later on! Check out Ganzo's G712-folder.It's a REALLY good clone of the Benchmade Bedlam. :D Keep them vids coming dude!

[@MxesPlays]

Jeff why not make a video of how you sharpen your knives ? And are you ever going to make a house tour

[@LanskySharpeners]

Currently, it's not for sale by itself. We're constantly looking at developing new products and kits, so stay tuned. That very well may be a possibility in the future. Thanks for your feedback!

[@blatherama]

Bug-Out Bag. It's for making a quick escape during disasters.

[@TheCheemstar]

The flat bill hats are a completely different thing that baseball hats. They have a different design with different measurements so bending it would actually just ruin the whole hat. Which for me would suck because I have a 70$ flat bill.

[@TH-xo4zx]

who the fuck buys a $70 hat? You're either lying or simply stupid

[@TheCheemstar]

Its nike.

[@jimbojones485]

Also, I know you'll do a fair review. I respect your opinions on the products you review and know you do so fairly. My opinions on this in no way reflect my opinions of your channel which I love.

[@muddieddesire]

very cool! I am not alone in the hat bill folding! :)

[@jimbojones485]

I agree with your point, I just dont like the execution. Jumping on a trend and putting out a good quality product is great. I've done it personally. But I think doing something just for the sake of doing something, well, just dont bother doing it in the first place. And its not a personal thing nor am I angry. I welcome debate. But these are my observations about this particular product. I think its a great idea, but hastily done.

[@darkmummy9]

How are you liking the backpack so far? Seems like a sturdy pack from what I can see.

[@Moostery]

Its a bit too much for whats in it. I'm going to stick to making my own so i can customize it how i want and get more versatility from it. Although i do have that wooden lansky sharpener in my bag. Not bad for repairing my beater knives on the go =P

[@cutlerylover]

and thats good buisness, and all buisness do the same thing, when trends hit the scene companies try to keep up with whats going on...is there something wrong with that? Im not trying to defend them but peopel forget if you dont like somethgin like a product simply dont buy it, thetres no need to put it down and get angry about it, not that your angry but many people actualy take it personal?

[@Phil85heiser]

It does have a firesteel, it just wasn't shown.

[@ghostoftheemishi8445]

Eh idk I’m still sold on the leatherman EOD or M300 for gun maintenance they just look sexy and I can change out the c4 punch . Axe is nice but I think I’m going to go with the crkt long handle mountain man style hatchet if it was used in the olden days for living it can do the job now plus I know you can throw them I’ve thrown them use to go to mountain man shows old friends did . Etc etc the bag is nice but now days a bag with a ccw pouch is way better always . Just my opinion. But cool none the less sharpener with wood block I’ll look in to for sure thanks .

[@thehomemadedisease9485]

Idk if they ripped that multi-tool off of a Ganzo design or Ganzo worked with them but it's almost identical to one of Ganzo's multi-tools

[@multiprepper1306]

Homemade Disease I'm pretty sure most of Ganzo's tools are rip offs but I could be wrong

[@thehomemadedisease9485]

ur probly right, i know fuck all about ganzo. but i definitely saw the exact same multitool on their website

[@malgoon]

Online it says it comes with a firesteel / compass and The Puck disc sharpener... Was that in the bag too?

[@2JEWS1PENNY]

That task is like 170 bucks on blade hq. dude, F that! I'd get my own stuff and make a pack for myself.

[@micahc4709]

lol im gonna use that "grounds for a shanking" fucking hbilarious

[@KronikLight115]

Hey uh just wondering, how exactly do you enter the contest? I've been having trouble finding whereever i need to look

[@LanskySharpeners]

Your feedback is not going unheard. Thanks for the participation and hopefully you've entered to win! Cheers.

[@LanskySharpeners]

We're chuckling right there with ya.

[@quiketnies]

was searching for laptops unboxing...glad i found this

[@LanskySharpeners]

It is likely that Gerber uses some of our same sources. Meaning the tooling, materials, and quality will be similar or darn right identical. This is the unfortunate truth of outsourcing. Lansky is not, in any way, partnered with Gerber.

[@thegoldenarmy0495]

The carbide sharpener is like a really rough sharpening stone.

[@Despero96]

The square tool is for opening doors when the door nob is broken.

[@TheXlcontrolzz]

that 1 weird square looking tool from the multy tool is to punch a hole into your throat when you cant breath

[@cutlerylover]

they do and more I just didnt show it all

[@glitch1792]

I think the kit is amazing but for $199.00 I would expect it to come with a little more. May save up though. How long is that 10% off good for?

[@P226nut]

I was going to tell him that it causes erectile dysfunction, you've got to put the fear into em about carbide sharpeners. I guess your answer works too.

[@legitkookameli219]

can you please show how to sharpen different kinds of knives because i just don't know how to, please.

[@liamjamesnoble]

the Multi tool is much like the Gerber suspension

[@metallicaholic43088]

pretty cool ..but not for $200 ..not an original concept...but ive always liked the pre organized BOBs some companies offer...Im sure for some people this is a great way to help them get started..it can always be customized later

[@iwrestlecamels]

Works like a dream

[@CivilBrigands]

Thanks for addressing how a hat bill is supposed to look! I'm tired of all the flat bills, it's so stupid!

[@willissquillis2781]

Show us a chopping vid with the hatchet, I'm wondering how it would perform :/

[@Gabrielsgotit]

what assisted opening knife do u recommend i get thats under $35 btw u r awesome love ur videos. u a good rolemoddle. LOVE YOUR STORIES PLEASE DO MORE

[@maritimespook]

[@thwackTX]

".. but I know that's definitely grounds for a SHANKING" Made me laugh

[@gunnerguy123456789]

I use the carbide on cheap knives that have nicks or just way dull

[@LanskySharpeners]

Your constructive feedback will be closely considered. Thanks for giving us another perspective to see from!

[@Florida95x]

Says "2CR" right on the multitool Jeff lol

[@nandoe29]

Cool bag . I would love the sharpner

[@TheOneViking]

[@LumeShot]

Convex lens!
