UNBOXING a Great BUDK $89.99 M48 MYSTERY BUGOUT BAG

[@HollywoodTacticool]

that's definitely worth the value, and there's not obvious duds in it, all of it is budget exemplars of all the basics you'd need for a bugout bag or emergency short term survival situation. definitely worth the value

[@VroomBox42]

Thank you! And thank you for watching! It seems that 99% of the people that leave negative comments on my videos don’t realize that all of the stuff is low buck, budget, basic items. I know that’s exactly what they are when I buy them. But everyone seems to think that I get ripped off because I didn’t receive thousands of dollars worth of product in a $40, $50 or $80 order. Unfortunately, for the foreseeable future I will not be making any new videos. Especially unboxing videos. I semi retired when my last employer closed and also a few months ago I was involved in a nasty motorcycle accident which is left me wheelchair bound and stuck in my house for possibly another six months.

[@HollywoodTacticool]

@@VroomBox42 oh man. my friend died last year in a motorcycle accident (so young) and i almost bought his motorcycle off of him! get better soon!

[@VroomBox42]

Hollywood Tacticool I’m sorry to hear about your friend. There are a lot of dangers on the road. I’m getting a little better. Just going to take some time. I don’t try to tell people what they should or shouldn’t do but, I will share my experience. My equipment save my life the day I had my accident. I was wearing a helmet, leather jacket, gloves & boots. My helmet saved my head and face when I was hit by the other vehicle and when I hit the pavement, my jacket & gloves protected me from some really bad road rash & my boots reduced the severity of the injuries to my foot. Had I been wearing just plain shoes my left foot would have been completely destroyed instead of a few broken bones and some impact trauma.

[@zbow1974]

i use that exact shovel to remove the snow from in front of my tires in winter, small enough to get under the car easy and sturdy enough to get the job done in a timely manner

[@VroomBox42]

I just hibernate until it goes away. Lol. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@lesliehunt2117]

Thanks for the video. have wondered about these bugout bags. Some cool stuff. I have some of it. I love my little pop up lantern and use it on the ridgeline of my hammock. I also like my little candle in a can. It does however surprise me that there is not at least an emergency sleeping bag or at least an emergency blanket and also a fire steel. Seems like you would get pretty cold and need a more semi permanent way of starting fires. Not many matches with that candle. It was fun though. Thanks

[@VroomBox42]

I don’t think I’d want to rely on any of this in a true emergency situation but, anything is better than nothing. I guess you could call this a good basic start and you could replace some of the lower quality items one piece at a time as you have the money until you have a good bug out bag built. And, there is plenty of room in that bag to add more things that you think you might need as you go along. Like, the fire steel and/or good waterproof matches and a emergency blanket.

As the magnetic poles continue in their major excursion a compass might prove a bit complicated. The formula that converts magnetic North to true North must be changing on at least a weekly basis.

[@jameslizardo]

Thank you for the video! I just may purchase one of these mystery bags, BUT, there are a lot of useless items for me. There are a lot of your typical "bud k" cheap items. The bag looks really nice, at least $40 in value!

[@VroomBox42]

Thanks for watching!

I still have the bag & it’s held up pretty well.

[@lankey6969]

[@genoedcknifecollecter1538]

this is a good base to slowly swap a few things out for something better and keep some of whats there. someone who wants to get a kit to do that with to get started would apreciate it. i would of if someome gave me this as a gift when i started the whole bug out bag thing.

[@patd.5692]

He got lucky compared to the others I have seen unpack them

[@jodybessert2419]

[@jamesonabbott1222]

Hey less than $100 it's definitely worth it. Take out the Rambo knife and put in a small cook set. it would be ok but if my life was on the line . I would want top quality survival gear. The bag and charger maybe.

[@VroomBox42]

I agree. Definitely budget/entry-level gear. It’s better to have something than nothing but it’s even better to have good gear.

[@robbijohnson6983]

That shovel is awesome.

[@billythepigeon7345]

I've had one just like it. Mostly useless on anything other than soft dirt or sand.

[@leebaldwin6015]

wondering if pre packed bug out from C.H.KADELS is comparable, $79.99

[@VroomBox42]

It’s the same company. Bud k, trueswords, c h kadels, kennesaw cutlery and a couple of others are all the same company.

[@JD_79]

You actually didn't do too bad on your mystery bag. I like the M48 bags, they get the job done and they are cheap. Trailblazer makes cheap chinese stuff but again, gets the job done, and even silly things like the pop-up lantern have their place. Only worthless items (in my opinion) are the Survival Knife and the Karambit, and that credit card sized multi tool.

[@VroomBox42]

I agree. That pop up lantern works pretty well. I’ve used it on 2 camping trips so far. I Motorcyle camp on a Harley Davidson Fat Bob and space it at a premium. So, if it’s small and works I use it.

[@tomk.williams1186]

Nice video and I am a new sub. The only thing in the video that I thought was very cheaply made was the trail blazer multi tool. It looked like it took about $3 bucks to make. I love all knifes but prefer fixed blades more.

[@VroomBox42]

Good Ol Boy #76 it’s really not that bad. Not top quality but, sturdy enough. It’s better than a lot of those credit card tools you see for sale. I took a ton of this stuff camping last week with the intent of making videos testing the items I’ve received over the last few videos. I don’t know if it was the humidity, heat, rough ride on my bike or what but, my janky old camera failed and I was able to recover nothing from 2 days of recording.
