Battlbox Battle Box Mission 102 - August 2023 - Pro Plus Unboxing & Review 

If you’re addicted to caffeine like I am, then coffee is a required survival item.

😂😂😂 that was entertaining, thank you Doc, and welcome back, that's the Doc I watched before, way more passionate about it 😎

If you’ve ever spent any time with me, you will know making sure I have my coffee is a survival item 😬

The headlamp was ridiculous. BB touts it as a great outdoor headlamp. Not sure it'll ever get used. The A-Tac. knife found it's way straight in to my "trade/give away" drawer. I'm a former Marine artillerist (pull string make gun go boom) and I would never have carried anything like this. As an EDC knife, too gimmicky and large and as a "tactical" knife worhtless. I needed a kinetic rope so I'm happy with that. I especially like the bag it comes in as it's big enough to drop a couple of shackles in there as well. Just FYI, you use a kinetic rope to help you pull a vehicle out of being stuck, and a tow rope to tow a vehicle. This is in my Jeep as I type. The little glowey thing is on my keys. Why not. I'll probably put the BB Mora in my get home bag as a back up knife. Two is one, one is none, right? The tent stakes were ok, but I plan on getting a RTT for my trips as I'm more in to Jeep camping. I'll put those stakes in with my Gazelle tent for when I take my girls out to do some more traditional camping (staying in one place for more than a night). This box wasn't bad (except for the ATAC) but it also wasn't great.

I appreciate the Star Wars rant. 👍

I agree 100% with you here. There is a few reasons I dropped down to pro from pro+ but this is one. It's like the knives are priced with a profit built in for the manufacturer and bb vs. A negotiation for a great knife at a good value. That being said, I keep wanting to pick up that fixed blade in this box. I want to say it isn't worth the 50 bucks they value it at, but I keep wanting to use it. So I'm very happy with the pro box I got. Thanks for the great and honest content.

I'm seeing lime green tent stakes , so it might be your colour settings on the camera .

I am glad I watched these videos. Will never purchase a battle box.

I don't know if coffee should go in a box, but honestly i'd prefer it over a random freeze dried meal. Especially something like this that has an interesting angle on portable coffee brewing

Off topic…but…Doc I’m willing to bet you effing LOVE the premium knife in the going gear box this month!!

Lol, I loved the knife disassemble part.

Re: the A-Tac knife… if it looks like a truck stop knife and it quacks like a truck stop knife, it’s a truck stop knife. This will make the third truck stop knife I’ve gotten from Batlbox in the three boxes I’ve purchased. Very disappointing. Batlbox needs to do better if they want to retain customers.

I still have a pack of speed cinch tent stakes( exactly the same, but yellow) in a battlebox that i never used from like 4 years ago

If you like the Kuju method but prefer milk n sugar in your coffee, check out Copper Cow Coffee. It's Vietnamese pour over that comes with little condensed milk pouches. I would recommend warming the milk pouch up in an armpit or other while the water boils so it's softer to massage and squeeze out. The BB Onyx definitely exceeded my expectations and has been a boon to have around the yard. I know folks love the stakes - I'm trying one out right now on a clothesline. It was definitely easy to lock in.

The knife of the month is way to reminiscent of a gas station/ flea market blade. Straight junk!

Will you send that blade in for testing?

Junque!! The atac is junque!!

The only item I didn’t like was the A-Tec. It just looks cheap

And I say "Coffee is basis of any nutritious meal! A simple real cup of coffee. I'll take 10 boxes please!

I actually think it’s better to know what in it cause that way you can prepare taste test materials LOL!!

A fake battlebox mora, and a gas station flippr, good job battle box. Every video i watch make me more happy i dropped them years ago

If PennDOT hires you to light up nighttime road work, it's enough lumens.

I dropped Battlbox after 100….they sent me a 40% off coupon so I got the advance box this month…couldn’t be happier. Loved everything in the basic and advanced… They shoulda made that gas station knife part of the basic box and made the battl-mora the pro item and the rope the pro plus….glad they didn’t tho!!!

Right on bra, saw gas station right off- all that other stuff- that coffee esp- looked interesting ' thanks. that tent stakes too, looking them up

Yeah, that folder looks like a BUD K special.

Don't waste your hard earned money on these boxes

for me coffee is a major survival item lol

A tak knife looks like an aliexpress special mystery steel knife

"He was like, 'Put your dukes up!' Ahh I got fuckin' no dukes." That was a deep cut. Box wise, Ive been watching these videos for a while.. Kinda felt like there were a lot of repeat items. I'm actually surprised they didn't put the Ghost in an earlier tier and make brand the "Onyx" as Lord and Field with a leather sheath. Suppose that side of things is probably gone. If they had gone with 14C28N, it might have been an even more impressive companion knife.

Coffee isn't just coffee anymore - it's essential OH&S equipment.😂 Thing is though, coffee bags are already a thing. Just like teabags, only with coffee. You still dunk them like teabags. . Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the BB knife. Let's be honest, neither of our expectations were particularly high, were they? . Been saying it for years - knife makers: STOP PUTTING SERRATIONS ON THE BLADE! If we wanted a saw, we'd buy a f*cking saw!

Groovy !

How much money? Seems like a big waste

I miss the old BB. When they first started. After the first two years it started going down hill.

I haven't really bought new knives lately i mostly save for customs

I am not a fan of them serrated blades at all. If that came to me i would just put it in the collection or gift it to some one else.

I've been waiting for this video! I wasn't as impressed as you with the Mora knockoff when they could just give us a real Mora. I'm still trying to decide if I hate that A-Tac POS more than the infamous Tekto Elara. Whoever chooses the KOTM for BattlBox must have a fine collection of gas station knives. Even if this was 12C27 (I'd put money, it's actually 8Crwhatever), that is a low-end steel for their price point. Thank you for trying to hold the people at BattlBox accountable to a better standard.

Mate I am currently working in diplomatic security in a hot sandy place and I can tell you first hand I go to venues where they don’t let us in with our side arms I agree with everything you said but it’s just what we have to deal with now I do carry a knife how ever that thing looks cheap and wouldn’t carry that one lol

Could the difference be in the seatbelt cutter instead of the glass breaker?

ya thats a "gas station mall ninja" knife. i'd rather knap a knife out of a glass bottle than have that piece of sh!t the mora clone on the other hand looks like a great utility knife

If the prop65 warnings have told me anything, it’s that if I enter California, I would get cancer multiple times over, thus I will never step foot in the state.

i need all the lumins im going blind lol

O Yea #IWantThatBattleBox lol

Lol its a 10 dollar gas station knfe

Unless I had a specific plan to cut a specific artery and keep walking, I wouldn't call that ATAC knife. If I did, I in fact I would use a smaller, wider blade. If I was to get into a situation where I was fighting a man/woman with a knife, I would go in with a longer knife so I could cut the knife hand of the opponent and have a shorter distance to a vital organ in one slice and stab movement. Just sayin'...Dad!

Liar Liar reference?

Getting my first box next month it was bogo so iam getting 2 for the price of 1

Battlbox still hasn't earned my business back. I've been watching the boxes in hopes that they'll turn it back around but they're continuing to disappoint

HEY PEETA KITTY CAT

The knife steel thing isn't that much of a mystery Someone isn't good at thier job and pencil whipped it.

This is one of the worst kotm since the revolt reflex. This thing absolutely sucks and I'm pissed they even put this shit in a box that costs damn near $200 a month. Im going to have to cancel again.

Can you zoom in a little more next time? Thanks

Serrated blades are useless.

Seems like battlebox is trying to bundle a bunch of items and get away with have at least 1 item be a scam. That way they make more money while screwing over tbe customer. I can tell you these boxes are not cheap so why would you get them if you are not really saving much if anything on buying the items separately.

That’s a sorry ass excuse for a knife of the month. Gas station quality, and trying to lie on top it. Trash. Battle box has done the bait and switch for song long. It’ll be sad to see them go but it it’s been filler junk for a few years.

Well you can tell who is a Star Wars fan is. I love all the Star Wars and Star Trek but not as good as you. I am not a coffee drinker at all.

That headlamp is total garbage. It takes forever to charge and it loses charge when its not in use. From fully charged > not used > hung on a wall > it was dead after 2 days. Absolutely total garbage.

I can't believe you let your channel talk you into buying something you know damn well that you don't want it. I will never buy them again after the Damascus or-deal

That a tec is a load of crap my cheap chinese pen knife i got when i was 10 years old i would over that

Will you send that blade in for testing?
