You should totally take a bunch of these survival things and go out on a camping trip. Only using the survival items you have to live off of. That would be cool.

The glow stick thing is an actual thing. I’m in medevac for the army and that is an actual signaling technique that is taught and can be seen actually really well when we’re doing search and rescue.

Actually swinging a glowstick around like that is called lassoing and it's a very well known technique that anyone in the military, special forces, search and rescue, park rangers, etc would all be familiar with and know exactly what it means.

Tyler is a RU-vidr. He makes videos. Tyler threw away a book on knife safety because ‘no one reads books any more. We have You Tube.’ Tyler opens a product with packaging that displays a QR code linking you to an instruction video. Tyler’s response to QR code: “Why dont you just tell me how to do it? Why ya gotta make me watch instructions?” We love you Tyler.

Hey Tyler. That Lazerbrite system is for missions at night time where we(I am a former Cavalry Scout with the US Army) do combat patrols and shit where its dark asf, and we need to follow or identify each other with certain colors. Also we use low dim light to read maps, etc. Usually red light at night time. Green to mark vehicles on radio antennas and etc. The enemy cannot really see red light at night time that well, or low brightness lights, thats why we use chemsticks, but those Lazerbrite last longer than a chemstick.. Just letting you know bub.

That last knife is intended for use to remove fish heads. It's not supposed to be super sharp as it's intended for chopping not cutting.

As a episode idea, why don’t you test the water purifier on different liquids rather than plain water? Such as pickle juice for example 😅 could try a few different concoctions I bet!

That first blade, the short blade with a ring, is a karambit, an Indonesian close combat knife. Pretty insane what some silat masters can do with it.

Tyler: *owns knife sharpness tester* Also Tyler: *uses a piece of paper to test the sharpness of these knives* 🤦🏻‍♂️😂😂😂😂

The Glow stick , Para cord holder operation is correct . The swinging of the glow stick has you demonstrated is actually call a "Buzzsaw" military pilots and rescue pilots are trained to recognize that pattern when flying with night vision goggle to spot personal for pick up that are in distress or for aerial drops for supplies .

The glass breaker will shatter tempered glass with zero effort. Easier than that mason jar, I'd bet.

The glow stick spin is an older technique I learned back in the 90s. Use smoke to mark an LZ during the day and a glow stick spun around overhead at night. So if you're in need of rescue while out hiking at night AND you get an older former military helicopter pilot, spin a red glow stick around and he'll call in a medevac for you.

Me literally yesterday: I wonder when Tyler will do another battle box video. Tyler less than 24 hours later: I got you bro, have almost an hour of content

Having done search and rescue for 14 years, I would absolutely know what you were doing by swinging that glow stick, and you can see it from further as well.

That massive cleaver looking knife is for food prep, and the edge being dull is likely intentional as they're letting you choose your own angle that works best for you. Some people prefer 25-28° for food prep, while some prefer 22°, and VERY few go with 17° (razor thickness) especially with a blade like that because your edge is chipped or rolled the first time you hit a bone. But I imagine the edge is totally intentional.

Anyone else really proud of Tyler for reading (some of) the instructions?

53 Minutes, this is going to be a good day.

I love how the items that you're supposed to use in a dire situation, one where you probably don't have internet or phone service or even a phone at all says "Use QR code for instructions". Super smart of the companies lol.

😂can you imagine looking out your window during a riot and seeing some idiot twirling a glow stick like that trying to abort his mission. LMAO go home Jeff, the chopper isn’t coming

The "mystery device" looks like it's meant to transport an injured person. You strap them in laying down, and you drag them out.

With the Paracord thing, the chem light on the end swinging around is a very common technique we use if we need exfil on mission or for making our location to choppers. We call it a buzzsaw. I'm active Army infantry with 4 deployments.

For the record, Vaseline is very flammable. Seeing as it is PETROLEUM jelly and all 😁

That big knife you were talking about is indeed a very well designed meat cleaver/butcher knife. the distance from the blade edge and the handle makes for some easy chopping through bone without rapping your knuckles on the counter. most of them you would have to hone the blade edge a bit before use.

You had me laughing so hard when you were trying to wear the large stretched out travel pack as a shirt/jacket😂

The Cali Loha is a compression bag . You can put your sleeping bag in and secure it to your bag and such and keep it dry. Or dirty clothes and such. Also good for dragging firewood and kindle to camp sites and keeping the wood dry. Can also use sticks to make frame for water collection. Actually pretty useful to be honest.

Hey man its called dedfish for a reason lol the weight of if also helps to cut through meat it doesnt have to be super sharp since force is used

I can't be the only one that gets anxious when Tyler flips around knives in his hands 😳 😵

The dedfish blade I'm pretty sure isn't meant to be sharp. It's a chopper, chopping blades don't need to be crazy sharp.

Lazer brite products are great for low light operations. Designed for the military with many different configurations. The black sleeve is a redesign of a chemlight holder so you can turn it and completely conceal the light.

There's a subscription box called universal yums that is filled with snacks from around the world. Maybe not as exciting for you Tyler, but we might get to see some more of your range of food tasting faces... From the "oh this is great" face to the "I hate this" face. Just a thought.

Pesto tastes really good so I'm not surprised that it came out that good.

That Tops is meant to be a last ditch knife pulled in the reverse/icepick grip Very situational knife

Kinda wish you opened each box individually.

Another great vid!!! Day 4 of asking Tyler to start a series similar to wish Wednesday where he goes to Dollar Tree and tests all of their off brands compared to the actual brands (tapes, glues, locks, charging cables, ect.)

your channel is the perfect one to watch when you're lying in bed at 3am.

That knife at 2:20 looks like a good idea to me. The tighter you hold it, the more secure the locking mechanism. If nothing else, it is interesting from an engineering viewpoint, and that would earn it a place in my collection.

Petition to get Tyler to read out 1 weather tip per video until he gets through all of the ones in the book!

That Reflex is just about the ultimate lock blade. It's never folding up on your fingers.

Dedfish knife is obviously a cleaver type knife, something you might use to cut the heads off fish or frogs. It's probably pretty thick too, since he said it was heavy. You don't necessarily want a razor edge on something like this because you're chopping through bones with it, it could chip or roll the edge. This guy obviously doesn't get it but I'm sure most people would.

the "top poker" is a short throat blade. Used for last ditch hand to hand combat, it is made to slice fast, a extension of your fist mostly aimed at throat slashes.

The tactical light has different colored lights because each one of them is a different wavelength and is therefore visible at different distances. The red light is the least visible at a long distance. Cheers.

My favorite thing about this channel is how hard these types of videos are for me, a former infantryman, to watch. He actually insulted the sacred buzzsaw....what are your thoughts on orange reflective pannels?

The discrete survival light is a water beacon for a man over board in night. Reds are for low light situations and the tube that rotates is a signal light, it's easier to signal properly with that tube spinning compared to pushing the on/off button. It's stuff like that is what each piece does. So depending on what you want it for you set it up for that and it's good instead of multiple lights for different purposes

The first knife was a karambit hybrid. The karambit originated in Indonesia for harvesting and self defense. Most of them have a hawk bill blade, but that was a straight edge I’m guessing for more utility. Once you learn how to use a karambit, they are absolutely amazing. Perfect for edc and self defense (for me anyway).

I'm ashamed you didn't bring out the sharpness tester for all the knifes

Pretty sure the first knife is a karambit. An Indonesian knife resembling a claw. Historically used as a weapon.

Instead of having the mason jar on its side so it rolls when hit wouldn't it've been easier to have it upside down? The bottom probably is thicker but thicker is better 😉

for anyone wondering the first knife “the poker” is a self defense knife the pinky ring is to help keep it from falling out your hands and the size isn’t to kill but to “poke” lol

I believe the poker knife can be used like a tiny clog making blade.. I only saw it on RU-vid recently a guy recycled some scrap into one... The hole in the handle is for putting on a Dowl or peg sideways. Then the knife becomes a pivoted slicer

Wool socks are a game changer if you have never owned any! They are great for comfort plus very hard wearing and dry very fast and don't get as smelly as cotton socks if you have to keep them on for days. ( any ex soldier will tell you about wearing socks for days)

So BattleBox sent you the BCB Fire Dragon fuel tabs, but not the corresponding folding stove that goes with them. That's a shame.

I’m not sure that rescue inflatable will do anything. The strap holding it on your wrist is so long, you’ll be 3 feet below the surface when it’s pulled you up. I know it sounds minimal, but when you consider yourself being in an injured or disabled predicament when you need this, my point kinda makes sense.

He got dangerously close to setting that beard on fire when he was blowing out that block!

that stax thing, coffee, creamer, sugar, and use the last one for both fire starter, and water purification tablets/liquid, and pack it inside of a camping coffee pot, it would make one hell of a camping coffee kit.

Did you really just question what you're going to do with what's basically a MEAT CLEAVER during camping or hunting situation??

That stupid paracord glow stick thing had me dying laughing for a good 5 minutes. Who knew your demonstration of it would be such comedic gold.

Lol. Watching you review knives was almost painful. You got some really good product there. I especially like the Nessmuk blade (butterknife). Damn, you almost ran that one into you hand with the sheath test

I'm very upset the socks didn't get reviewed. You can't assume we all know how socks work...

Dedfish is used for cutting the heads off of fish

Thank God I've never wasted my money on those gimmick boxes.

The first knife looks to be a tactical knife based on the Talon or Karambit knife used for close quarters fighting.

One of the last things you want to carry in a bad situation is something that smells like "delicious cherries". If you can smell it in your hand then a bear can smell it from miles off. Only slightly safer than carrying bacon cheeseburgers in your pockets.

The last light you had in the light group it's a modern glow stick the black lens cover is like the cymlight holder used by the military you twist it if need to go to black out to keep from being seen once in the clear you open it so your team can see you I used to have the old snap light style covers they were listed for tank command to mark what tank squad you were with color and number of lights on the tank also

The last knife looks as though it could *almost* take place of a hatchet for bush craft, except unlike a hatchet it has no "hammer face".

24hours in the wild surviving of just battlebox items. Now that's content

I believe the weird handle design on the revolt reflex is them trying to make a locking mechanism for the blade that might be a bit sturdier because a lot of flip out pocket knives have kinda flimsy locking mechanisms

Just so you are aware, that spinning glow stick is an actual method we use in the military to mark a LZ for helicopters. It's called a "Buzz Saw". Though we use IR Glow sticks not visible to the naked eye. You can only see them with NVGs. I assume if you're not in the military this seems very strange. Makes perfect sense in regards to what it is meant for. We use Paracord for everything. Seems these boxes are targeted at the military with a lot of these items. As well as your regular outdoor survivalist.

Those neck lights are actually amazing for reading, knitting and crocheting at night. I have a pair and they are invaluable if your lighting is poor.

I’d like to see if the water purifiers actually filter because he just used clean water

That mylar blanket brings back a memory from my military days. I was TDY to Naval Air Station some cross training for the Air Force.... The bar on that base was amazing. One of my friends bought an Alabama slammer, but the bartender didn't know how to make them and ended up making a pitcher instead of a glass of it.... It wasn't up to my friend's expectations, and we were all hammered by that point... I wasn't about to let liquor go to waste so I drank it all which.... Didn't go too well with the Guinness, whiskey, long Island's, gin and tonics and screwdrivers I was drinking. Soo, we decided have a smoke on the back deck before going back to our rooms... All it took was one bit of smoke hitting my nose and I blew chunks over the side of the deck.... Don't get me wrong, I had a high tolerance, so it wasn't "I drank too much." Sorts of puke, it was "My stomach hates this sweet drink mixing with the not so sweet stuff and why tf did they add Jose Cuervo?" sort of puke. In other words, despite being pretty well set, I could walk straight and talk straight... I didn't think anything of it because, at my permanent party base, that's just one of the ways airmen end their night at the E-club. Blow chunks, go back to your room, proceed to drink some screwdrivers to settle the stomach. So.... When the Ambulance showed up and had me go over and sit in the back with a one of those blankets, I was thoroughly confused.... I mean, if someone was just walking up, they'd have thought I was in a wreck by the way they were treating me.... They even had an EMT walk me back to my room..... They said "It's for safety." which... Idk... It kinda weirded me out because, all I did was puke, it's not like I was crawling or anything... I told them "I'm very experienced with taking the walk of shame, you don't need to do this." they gave me the line about making sure I'm safe, blah blah blah. Half way to the TDY barracks and the guy looks at me and said "You're right, it's kind of useless, you're clearly safe." and all I could think was "No shit. I tried to tell you." That was the most surreal experience I had at that base... Well.... Second to being on the runway, getting ready to fly back to my permanent party base... Waiting for a forecasted hole to appear in the incoming tropical storms that were starting to roll in... From hurricane Ivan.... That was the most surreal...

It's time to use the pump filter to see how well it filters different liquids, of course you have to start with pickle juice.

I work in the ER and that liquid band-aid is similar to something we use called Derma bond. Think super glue for skin. Pro: quick, easy application. Lasts a long time. Con: don't use it on joints. It won't last anywhere near long enough because of the constant movement.

Absolutely love your non bias reviews.

Everyone always: Let me stare directly into the flashlight as I turn it on.

I could watch you all day Tyler, definitely make long videos like this more often okay? Thanks 👍

The hook contraption is a fishing snare. It doesn't attach to your pole, you attach it to a overhanging branch and it catches fish for your. It is typically used if you don't have a fishing pole or device, and having multiple snares is always useful.

Out of all of the knives that was put on the table, Tops knives that you had was the best knife out of the box, and Tyler the purpose of the “poker” from tops is more of a self defense knife and it has that ring for an easy grab, mostly seen on karambits but Tops knives makes other survival knives and axes, all of their knives are made in the USA, handmade and hand sharpened too, Tops is a quality knife manufacture out their and loved by most survivalist

Stealthy lighting could be used like when your hunting. When you're walking to your stand at 4 in the morning and don't want to light up the entire woods and spook deer on the way to your stand.

Only this man has the power to make a 54min video feel like 10min

Tyler.....when you said "you can never get a tent back in its own bag" I had the facepalm lol

The look on your face when you went to try the food was priceless. You looked terrified. Haaahahaha Find some MREs from the 80s Era. That's enough to scare anyone.

"So you're just supposed to pop it..." *bonk bonk bonk* You're supposed to pop it, this means you need to use some force. Hit that thing, limp-wrist! Jesus.

The karambits main purpose is self defense. It’s probably the best self defense knife on the market. It was the first knife you showcased and one my my favorite blades to carry! I carry my pistol but always keep a back up karambit just in case.

I like fatwood for a fire starter. It is cheap or easy to find for free and with a simple pencil sharpener you can a a could of pencil size sticks last for weeks. You can get a decent tactile knife for $10... same with flashlights. The flashlights and knives were OK, but likely all this stuff was either given to BattleBox cheap as a form of advertisement or it was older models left over or new stuff that did not sell well. They get most of the stuff for VERY cheap and then basically sell it to you in random boxes for full price. I like survival kits. I was into them big time 5 years ago or so. They are great for camping too. I got canvas tool bags that were like 6"x10" with a zipper side at Home Depot for $6. I put in a Cree Q5 flashlight with an extra battery, a folding knife, a lighter, a travel pack of baby wipes and Kleenex, an emergency blanket, and a disposable poncho, 3 insect repellent wipes, 3 sun screen wipes, chap stick, dental floss, tweezers, travel soap, a wash cloth, travel tooth brush and tooth paste, 5 packets of Ibuprofen, 5 packets of Benadryl and 5 packets of Imodium, a 7'x9' plastic painting tarp, a handkerchief, a small box of waterproof matches, 2x 6" x 1/4 rods of fatwood, a pencil sharpener, a small sewing kit, dental floss, a 5 fishhooks, 5 pinch sinkers, 25 feet of fishing line, a 1" bobber, 5 granola bars, pack of gum, 20 water tablets, a whistle, a small compass, 10 1" wide Band-Aids, 5 packets of antibacterial ointment, 5 alcohol wipes, 50 feet of paracord. I also had a 1L stainless steel water bottle clipped to it. Literally grab that, a backpack of clothes and food, a tent, and a sleeping back and you are good to go for camping over the weekend... or surviving a few days easily. It weighed maybe 2 pounds and cost about $40 each. I made 4 of them. I did a much larger survival bag too, but I have pulled too many things out of it since then. That had a small stove, folding shovel, hatchet, folding saw, solar shower, large tarp, larger flashlight, sling shot, some cooking pots...

That neck light would be great for someone who uses a cane to walk.

6:26 - 6:39 out of context had me dying. You should do a "TylerTube Out Of Context" video!

How many times you said or something talking about that weird tactical light thing had me rolling. Lmfao

I have that Surviver filter. No way is it 100k liters. it is around 1,000 liters max. 250 or more gallons. You need to back wash the internal fiber filter often if it is getting any kind of murk in the water. It is supposed to filter smaller than .1 microns which is really good. I think it is .05 microns. The pre-filer and final carbon element needs to be changed at 100 liters I think. The issue is it getting clogged really fast so have a syringe handy to back flush with filtered water about every 1 or so gallons in murky water. It gets so hard to push the water through they break for some users. Folks need to back flush fairly often on all of these brands/types of filters or you can damage them.

Tyler, that tac light is a marker light. You hang it on your gear so your fire team can see each other. Also you can have it on your gear when diving underwater to mark each others locations.

I got a few BB over a few months. It's certainly fun to receive, but in my opinion you end up with a bunch of crap you won't use. You'll get a few good items as well, but if you were to take the money from say a years worth of Battle Boxes, you're better off spending that money on several quality items instead.

"I've never seen a knife with a part of the handle that moves as part of the locking mechanism" Every frame lock knife: 😭😭😭 ETA: that half circle knife seems like you could cook ON it bruh. in the woods, chop chop, scoop, set on small flame. 🤔

Ready to walk through END OF THE WORLD CHEMICALS🤣🤣🤣Tyler kills me bro he's hilarious without even trying

Swinging a glow stick around is an actual military tactic for mission extraction.

The Fire Dragon solid fuel is designed to be used with a small foldable metal cooker called a Fire Dragon. I have one, but it is tiny and one of those blocks will about do a cup of water, provided you surround the cooker to stop it being blown out by the wind with a metal surround. It is very prone to being blown out.

Dude you just blew through some very nice gear, like it was a wool sweater at Christmas..

Me being a veteran army infantryman all three of those meals looked very good tbh 😂

that big thing caliloha thing is a compresion bag, basicly you put stuff in there roll it up and you take it as a bag pack .

That's lazerbrite stick light is awesome for feild military use. I mainly use it with the translucent tube and red light to ground guide vehicles at night or to use as a light in the feild for light discipline. Really helps out to find the latrine in the dark.

For the water filter pump. The syringe is likely to backflush the filter to clean it. That is how it lasts so long. If the water is really dirty you want to wrap a cloth around it first. Those filters work really good (life straws and such).
