Compact, really varied set of supplies. Strongly advise different wheels or a roller base instead of the supplied wheels. I have the same box used for my welder supplies.
Thank you, it’s a quick and easy load up, and you can set it up for whatever your needs may be. It works really well if you are base camping from a vehicle. Load it up lock the truck and go for a couple days or so.
@@jksurvivalbushcraft wow. That’s awesome. Tics run rampant here in Florida too. I once fell onto a tic ball in the Ocala National Forest while trailblazing towards Mud Lake and had about 100+ tics on me at one time. I played a game that I called “Pick-a-Tic” for hours. I discovered permethrin shortly afterwards. 😂
They are, so here is the reality. If you use straight wax like I did, they take forever to break in and wear in. However, I waxed mine in early fall and wore all winter with long Johns. No issues, by spring they are broke in and no chafing, in fact no chafing all winter while wearing long Johns. I wouldn’t try breaking them in without something under them. While stiff at first after break in it is noticeable but not uncomfortable or worth the benefits, wind resistant, waterproof, and dang near impenetrable to thorns and heavy brush. There are many different ways to make “ tin pants” check out wranglestar and others on you tube for their method. I choose to go straight wax because I treat with permethrin and did not want any other chemicals interacting with that. Do not use soy wax… use beeswax and paraffin based wax. ( soy wax over time if not a good quality will cause issues). Best of luck and let me know if you try it. P.s. it takes a while… a lot of heat gun work, do not throw in your dryer thinking you will melt off excess,, you will,,, but your wife will hate you. Good luck!

I e got some ordered, will have to figure out how to reinforce the mounting…
Clever idea!

I’ve owned several of those tool boxes and the wheels break even when u are being gentle.
Be advised.
Thank you, I have ordered new bigger wheels, will see how much more I have to do to strengthen the mounting… appreciate the heads up!
Best get some rubber wheels for that thing
Allready in the works!!
@@jksurvivalbushcraft back in the day there was a whole movment for bug-out wheel barrels.
@@jksurvivalbushcraft check out a company named monowalker.
Very innovative! The whole toolbox thing is a great idea! I haven’t seen that before. Did you wax the pants to make them water resistant??
Yes and to help fend off thorns and such when going through heavy brush. They are also treated with permethrin to prevent ticks.
@@jksurvivalbushcraft ah! Permethrin was an excellent addition.
@@kenmccrady1228 makes all the difference in the world… one of the places I go is literally named tick ridge… and I’ve never had one on me…

@@kenmccrady1228 there is nothing worse than playing pick a tick…I’d rather play with snakes… lol
How do those waxed pants feel when you’re wearing them, it seems they are very stiff.
