I have e-readers and tablets LOADED with survival books and reference books. One of them I have is Forest Mimm's Getting Started in Electronics by Radio Shack Press. I also own the physical version of that book. I prefer the physical since it's 100x quicker to flip through pages, process the information being flipped to see if you're getting close to the section you need. Than it is trying to discern tiny thumbnails with the page layout or imitating flipping pages on a Tablet/E-Reader.
Hey Tyler, The DD Tarp 3x3 at 29:58 is the sort of thing used by every soldier in British Army, it's also known as a "Basha" it can be used to make a shelter, as a normal tarp and if it's taped in a certain way it can be used as an emergency stretcher great bit of kit.
I love the disregard for books in a battle box unboxing where the products r for an outdoors man who is generally away from any internet connection & may just want to read out in the wilderness without needing a battery run device. Some ppl do still enjoy books & also know if all web connections were to disappear, they still have entertainment. Funny guy. 🤣
@@dominantwolf4593 it's like having something you can use to do many things instead of one thing. A scarf is better than a gaiter but can't be easily used as a hat, a hat is better than a gaiter but can't be used as a face shield, gloves are better than a gaiter but can't be used as a neck warmer. Gaiters provide flexibility if you need it.
@@dominantwolf4593 I use mine every winter. Is it sub zero cold weather gear that'll do you in a blizzard at night in the arctic? No. Never said so. If it's cold outside it's a decent multi-use article of clothing. Someone can go from using it to help keep their face warm, to ears, to neck, to hands and it will do a passable job of it. I don't know why you're so keen on gatekeeping clothing but this is dumb. Wear your hat around your neck, shove your hands in your hair band. I don't care. It's like complaining that a baseball cap is inferior to a wide brimmed sunhat. It is. It's not trying to be superior. It has pros and cons like anything else

2:15 I highly recommend going to your local pharmacy and ordering a roll of Tegaderm. It is waterproof and air proof. Little on the expensive side. I paid $50 CDN for my roll. Little tricky to use at first but once you get the hang of it, it is super easy to apply it. (roll size is 4" x 111 yards so not doing the metric conversion)
The big boxes with few/little things is a joke. I hate companies that do that, just fill the box or put the small stuff in a smaller box. Make you think your getting some good stuff or alot of it. Wouldn't buy from them just for this reason.
What’s the safest way to start a fire for a demonstration you may ask. Apparently put the starter on a piece of wood on top of a table made out of wood. Haha. Love this guy
Well not really as some the products are actually pretty decent quality, they source random products, mostly products that people wont already have so they can try new things, i mean what did you expect a box with a Yeti cooler and a rockstead knife? Its a hundred dollar box they provide decent products for the price
Neck gaiters were a lifesaver during field training exercises in Colorado. It's a wonderful thing to have and I still wear one in the winter. Why be cold, amirite?
The Faraday cage bag is for people on house arrest, you put your foot in there and can walk around outside of the perimeter of your home without getting caught.
The knife you were flinging around is a traditional puukko. Very nice knives from Scandinavia. Books work when UA-cam doesn't. If in a SHTF situation you're not going to have internet. Survival books are for that. The black roap is called bank line. Lots of people use it for camping and Bush craft. I have the Model bottle. It's great for Kayaking it doesn't roll around easily in my boat. The sylicone bottle makes your water taste nasty so bring some gateraid. The faradaycage bag is also a dry bag again great for boating.
I’m so glad I saw this video- I love the sponsor, and am going to buy a membership! We should all be aware of what our soldiers have to endure, not only when deployed- but for their entire life back as a civilian. They deserve so much- and so do families that have lost their loved ones who served.
The folding knife is a camp kitchen knife. Chinese no name rebranded for resale. I won't say it's a crap knife, as they seem to be made well. They have a lower end steel, 8cr13mov. So you'll be sharpening it fairly often. Their are 4 different styles of the knife. going between $18 and $30 USD.
That "Self Sufficiency Manual" book... A person might have the book in case thing happen that there is no longer internet to watch videos on how things are done. You know... the apocalypse. Sure you could learn all that stuff now before such an event happens, but you may possibly forget a good bit of the details later and that's why the _book_ is good to have.
Tyler you should do giveaways with the items you don’t want or don’t have any use for from these boxes. Would be pretty cool😊 that way you don’t have your garage filling up with junk lol
As a combat medic that is some cheaply made pressure bandage. Pressure bandages are used to stop non arterial bleeding and keep wounds covered. I see the clear plastic making an absolute mess and if it’s decent wrap it will cut off circulation where you don’t want it to. Could use the clear plastic as a chest seal for a punctured lung I would say though. Israeli bandages/compression bandages are pretty cheap don’t use that atrocious thing.
It is actually called a "Guy" rope or guy line. It refers to a rope/cable used in the stabilization and/or secure tension applications. Power or "Telephone" poles will often have a cable attached to it that is anchored to the ground. That cable is called a "Guy Wire". 😃
Tyler being surprised that the manufacturerss know how to use their own products absolutely kills me 🤣🤣🤣. No really though, I love Tyler’s content. Its great stuff. Entertaining and interesting
I have no idea how much one of these Battle Boxes goes for monetarily, however, I am guessing from what I observed from the contents of the eight boxes that COST FAR EXCEEDS CONTAINED VALUE! Thank you so very much Tyler for saving me the cost of a Battle Box subscription. Without a doubt I know one would be significantly better off (both money and quality wise) with merely a list of "tactical and survival" items to wit employing Tyler's "no books or reading" policy will result in acquiring said items being cheaper with preferred quality and only desired items.
I know you have opened a lot of various packages of stuff. It would be amusing to see you use that thing to hold things on the back of your car seat and hang all your carabiners you have gotten just to show how many you have actually gotten. Start a running collection thing.
The bandage is for chest and abdominal wounds... Helps to seal an open wound to the chest cavity which could involve a collapsed or punctured lung... The abundance of tape is to be able to wrap completely around the body
In the first box there was a Sleeve you put it around your neck. You was close. What that is if your around a lot of dust you put it over nose an down around you neck. Me and my family we ride are side by sides on a lot if gravel roads an out on lot of trails this keeps the dust out of your nose mouth. believe me they do work good.
*Plastic Coke bottle: saw it off about 1/3 of the way through *Balloon: whatever color, brand new, wrap around drinking hole 5 *New Rubber band: use to tie and secure around balloon. Fine your self rock ammo and bam soda bottle slingshot. Ive been in several wars w/these things and as a veteran I can vouch for the effectiveness and PAIN these awesome devices can deliver 😂
Why did they call it a neck gaiter? There was already a word for that. It is also called a buff. It is actually extremely good to have for winter and for sun protection. I have a couple for hiking.
Just signed up for the Til Valhalla Project. Thank you and thank them for sponsoring you so some of us could learn about their cause. Can't think of many better ways to spend my money.
I find it so interesting that this man known little about a lot of outdoors stuff, but then wonders who would ever need a book about survival. Like, my dude... probably out of anyone, you need it most. Dude is so insanely reliant and babied by modern day tech it is insane. Ain't no way my dude is outdoors with those headlamps. Doesn't even know what a sheepsfoot blade is called.
"Why would I read a book when I have youtube" Me : stumbling on Tyler's failed Amazon products testing videos saying to myself that I would die quick if he would produce survival videos.
I was actually legitimately just thinking about you doing a big Battle Box haul...I binged your other videos...and this is like Christmas early for me lol yessssss
I was a session drummer for years and used the decibulls wired headphones. They have the same moldable plastic and when done correctly are very comfortable for extended periods of time.
Any man who’s ever used anti-chafing stuff knows how incredible they are. I work landscaping/hardscaping and in the middle of summer there’s nothing like it to make your day more tolerable
I live in Florida. If you've never had to deal with "swamp butt" (to use the slightly more polite slang) then you are incredibly lucky. Talk about chaffing. Thank goodness Gold Bond medicated body powder is a thing. Helps keep things cool and dry.
That bandage, commonly called a pressure bandage, is used in the Military. The service ones do not have tape instead they use fabric and a plastic handle to tighten the bandage and stop bleeding.
I don't fall for the battlebox scam.. I never understood the subscription boxes where people spend money on stuff and complain about what they get. Just buy the items you ACTUALLY want! 😂
Watching these boxes being opened one at a time over the years made me think they were just ok. Seeing 8 opened at once confirms that 75 % of each box is overstocked surplus, and there's a reason for that Just buy your stuff as needed at your preference Excellent video also
Hunting knives like that one you got shouldn't be too sharp. The edge on a razor-sharp knife would roll or chip if you tried to use it on light brush, animal hide, or bone, all things you might encounter with a hunting knife.
In terms of hunting knives it depends in terms of skinning and things. There are knives that have swap out scalpel blades which are really good at cutting thru like deer hide. Generally you would pair it up with a hatchet for getting thru the bones like in the pelvis if quartering an animal.
That weird socket sheath is a very old design used in Europe and other place and has been around for hundreds of years so it must of been doing something right . I am interested in these battle Boxes I have seen several UA-camrs talking about them or being sponsored and I always wondered what was in them as far as quality goes, Sadly I doubt I could get them here in Oz but it seems like there is a lot of very good quality stuff in them and most of it seems fairly useful.
2 things I’ve noticed about this dude. 1) He’s never imagined the possibility of not having access to UA-cam. 2) his creative depth when it comes to any type of lengthened cord/rope is to make it a clothes line.

The knife you were flinging around is a traditional puukko. Very nice knives from Scandinavia.
Books work when UA-cam doesn't. If in a SHTF situation you're not going to have internet. Survival books are for that.
The black roap is called bank line. Lots of people use it for camping and Bush craft.
I have the Model bottle. It's great for Kayaking it doesn't roll around easily in my boat. The sylicone bottle makes your water taste nasty so bring some gateraid.
The faradaycage bag is also a dry bag again great for boating.
I’m so glad I saw this video- I love the sponsor, and am going to buy a membership! We should all be aware of what our soldiers have to endure, not only when deployed- but for their entire life back as a civilian. They deserve so much- and so do families that have lost their loved ones who served.
The Til Valhalla project is such an awesome organization.
They delivered a plaque to the parents of a friend I went to highschool with.
I’d be extremely surprised if he knew how to turn the light switch on by himself in the mornings or understands how toilet paper works.
siri, turn on the lights
He knows. He watched a UA-cam video on it.
The folding knife is a camp kitchen knife. Chinese no name rebranded for resale. I won't say it's a crap knife, as they seem to be made well. They have a lower end steel, 8cr13mov. So you'll be sharpening it fairly often. Their are 4 different styles of the knife. going between $18 and $30 USD.
I’m so excited for this video 2 vids a week is awesome and they’re longer which is awesome too keep it up Tyler it’s greatly appreciated
That "Self Sufficiency Manual" book... A person might have the book in case thing happen that there is no longer internet to watch videos on how things are done. You know... the apocalypse. Sure you could learn all that stuff now before such an event happens, but you may possibly forget a good bit of the details later and that's why the _book_ is good to have.
Tyler you should do giveaways with the items you don’t want or don’t have any use for from these boxes. Would be pretty cool😊 that way you don’t have your garage filling up with junk lol
As a combat medic that is some cheaply made pressure bandage. Pressure bandages are used to stop non arterial bleeding and keep wounds covered. I see the clear plastic making an absolute mess and if it’s decent wrap it will cut off circulation where you don’t want it to. Could use the clear plastic as a chest seal for a punctured lung I would say though. Israeli bandages/compression bandages are pretty cheap don’t use that atrocious thing.
Are you going to wear that toast shirt for every single video? I know you own more than one shirt...lol
Toast is life.
I just assumed he drank like 50 energy drinks and just started filming the next 40 videos before finally dropping into a deep sleep.
Its either that or the mr beast shirt
Maybe it’s his brand
I just choose to think he filmed the last 6 months of videos on the same day and has been chilling in Bermuda this whole time. Haha.
As a kid we used to make a pocket shot with a small piece of pipe and the finger bit cut from a rubber glove. Fun times 😁
It is actually called a "Guy" rope or guy line. It refers to a rope/cable used in the stabilization and/or secure tension applications. Power or "Telephone" poles will often have a cable attached to it that is anchored to the ground. That cable is called a "Guy Wire". 😃
This is the first sponsor of tylers I havent skipped
Tyler being surprised that the manufacturerss know how to use their own products absolutely kills me 🤣🤣🤣. No really though, I love Tyler’s content. Its great stuff. Entertaining and interesting
I have no idea how much one of these Battle Boxes goes for monetarily, however, I am guessing from what I observed from the contents of the eight boxes that COST FAR EXCEEDS CONTAINED VALUE! Thank you so very much Tyler for saving me the cost of a Battle Box subscription. Without a doubt I know one would be significantly better off (both money and quality wise) with merely a list of "tactical and survival" items to wit employing Tyler's "no books or reading" policy will result in acquiring said items being cheaper with preferred quality and only desired items.
the cheapest one is $35 and the most expensive is $170 a month.
I know you have opened a lot of various packages of stuff. It would be amusing to see you use that thing to hold things on the back of your car seat and hang all your carabiners you have gotten just to show how many you have actually gotten. Start a running collection thing.
Everyone is painfully aware you have no use for books, fumbling to understand the most basic concepts is what makes the show. Love the channel!
The bandage is for chest and abdominal wounds... Helps to seal an open wound to the chest cavity which could involve a collapsed or punctured lung... The abundance of tape is to be able to wrap completely around the body
This is his profession...and he is just so, so bad at it. Read a book dude.
@@JM7284"Why do that when you can look it up on youtube?"
In the first box there was a Sleeve you put it around your neck. You was close. What that is if your around a lot of dust you put it over nose an down around you neck. Me and my family we ride are side by sides on a lot if gravel roads an out on lot of trails this keeps the dust out of your nose mouth. believe me they do work good.
Right bro it literally showed how to use right on it I hate when he does that calls something dumb but he’s the only dumb one
That zippo hand warmer is great! Lasts forever. I use it all the time at home because my hands are always freezing
A 50 minute Wednesday video? Hell yes. Also, try some food subscription boxes.
Like what? Hello fresh stuff?
@@archangel1824 Bokksu would be interesting. They have lots of weird stuff
Late to the party but what I like about these videos is that he actually gets the items out of the boxes and tries them, so many others don't.
5:55 "and that just went through the insulation" got me soo hard
Same for me lol
Same🤣
Thanks!
Bruh ... the books are for when the grid gets fried ... read them at the campfire 💡
He has a dry sense of humor that somehow avoids the obvious without appearing to, so I'll give him a pass on that.
I've seen him trying to start a fire. He's gonna be in the dark.
I've been supporting Til Valhalla for a few years now. Awesome company doing great work.
It's meant for a "you've gotta eat this or die" situation so I'm sure the taste of the soup would be just fine 🙂
*Plastic Coke bottle: saw it off about 1/3 of the way through
*Balloon: whatever color, brand new, wrap around drinking hole 5
*New Rubber band: use to tie and secure around balloon. Fine your self rock ammo and bam soda bottle slingshot. Ive been in several wars w/these things and as a veteran I can vouch for the effectiveness and PAIN these awesome devices can deliver 😂
Why did they call it a neck gaiter? There was already a word for that. It is also called a buff. It is actually extremely good to have for winter and for sun protection. I have a couple for hiking.
The tarp is just for putting over a hammock to protect you from sun and rain. It also adds a bit of insulation to keep as much heat from escaping
You get all kinds of great knives to test on your channel. Do you have any idea how many are in your collection?
Love your channel.
Yes, Tyler, how many knives do you have? I would say, if you kept them all, about 100. Am I right?
Just signed up for the Til Valhalla Project. Thank you and thank them for sponsoring you so some of us could learn about their cause. Can't think of many better ways to spend my money.
Boxes of junk for those weirdos waiting for faeces to collide with a bladed rotary device.
Great vid 👍☺️🇦🇺
😂😂😂😂 the neck gaiter is what fishermen wear to stay cool😂😂
DD Hammock tarp is a tarp that’s 3 meters by 3 meters and you can use it as a rain fly or other tarp uses.
Have had mine for 11 years now and it still comes along for every trip. Great tarp!
I find it so interesting that this man known little about a lot of outdoors stuff, but then wonders who would ever need a book about survival. Like, my dude... probably out of anyone, you need it most. Dude is so insanely reliant and babied by modern day tech it is insane. Ain't no way my dude is outdoors with those headlamps. Doesn't even know what a sheepsfoot blade is called.
"Why would I read a book when I have youtube"
Me : stumbling on Tyler's failed Amazon products testing videos saying to myself that I would die quick if he would produce survival videos.
I was actually legitimately just thinking about you doing a big Battle Box haul...I binged your other videos...and this is like Christmas early for me lol yessssss
You should go camping but only bring mystery survival boxes and only use what comes in them :)
A neck gator is for UV protection of the neck and face mostly and can be worn like a mask too usually you pull it up over your nose
I was a session drummer for years and used the decibulls wired headphones. They have the same moldable plastic and when done correctly are very comfortable for extended periods of time.
Agreed. I use them for construction.
I find the fact that they sent first aid packets to stop bleeding along with their knives both brilliant AND hilarious! 🤣🤣
Would love to see the same type of thing with some of the bespoke post boxes
18:15: because in an SHTF scenario, the internet will be down... Isn't that what this package is for? lol!
Please do a dollow up on the light strip head lamp. I've been interested in those
I work in the automotive industry and the shop foreman where I work swears by his. Bonus points because you look like a sci-fi mechanic 🤣
I’m an electrician and I use one, they are pretty badass, and yeah people say I look like robocop😂
Keep doing these battleboxes, these are fun videos 🤙
The battle bandage is made to treat a sucking chest wound
I read 50ish books last year, and I'm reading my 53rd book of this year so 😝 love your channel and enjoy your content
President Biden recommended this video
Any man who’s ever used anti-chafing stuff knows how incredible they are. I work landscaping/hardscaping and in the middle of summer there’s nothing like it to make your day more tolerable
I live in Florida. If you've never had to deal with "swamp butt" (to use the slightly more polite slang) then you are incredibly lucky. Talk about chaffing. Thank goodness Gold Bond medicated body powder is a thing. Helps keep things cool and dry.
I think those boxes are more hype than substance. How are you going to watch a video is there is no power or internet? You'll have to read a book.
That bandage, commonly called a pressure bandage, is used in the Military. The service ones do not have tape instead they use fabric and a plastic handle to tighten the bandage and stop bleeding.
Tyler is gonna be shocked when he goes camping and can't load his UA-cam video. Books gonna be real handy then.
Then he would just poke his head out of the blankets and look it up on UA-cam. "I'm camping!"
Thanks for convincing me to never buy a battle box
Evening mate, nice gear. The D. D tarp is bloody useful. Thanks for sharing buddy, funniest video seen in ages. Tc Andy 👍😁🇬🇧✌️🇺🇸
LMAO! Read the instructions and say they don’t REALLY mean a metal spoon!!!! Bahahahahahaha enjoy your videos and look forward to the next.
that hand warmer is pretty clutch for hunting or cold weather.
I don't fall for the battlebox scam.. I never understood the subscription boxes where people spend money on stuff and complain about what they get. Just buy the items you ACTUALLY want! 😂
I like them, it's like a surprise present from myself to myself and I don't even have to get drunk
Watching these boxes being opened one at a time over the years made me think they were just ok. Seeing 8 opened at once confirms that 75 % of each box is overstocked surplus, and there's a reason for that
Just buy your stuff as needed at your preference
Excellent video also
Funny how you think there will always be internet and books are stupid.... or you're trolling us again 🙄
A 50 minute video from Tyler. Yessssssss
I want that fillet knife lol
Videos with knives included are my favorite Tyler videos
Hunting knives like that one you got shouldn't be too sharp. The edge on a razor-sharp knife would roll or chip if you tried to use it on light brush, animal hide, or bone, all things you might encounter with a hunting knife.
In terms of hunting knives it depends in terms of skinning and things. There are knives that have swap out scalpel blades which are really good at cutting thru like deer hide. Generally you would pair it up with a hatchet for getting thru the bones like in the pelvis if quartering an animal.
Tyler Tyler Tyler. The battle bandage is for treating/sealing off chest gunshot or knife wound.
Made my day when I seen you posted should post two times a week 🙏🙏
I’ve ever heard of Battle Boxes before, but now I’m really interested in getting some!! Need to look into these I think!!
That weird socket sheath is a very old design used in Europe and other place and has been around for hundreds of years so it must of been doing something right . I am interested in these battle Boxes I have seen several UA-camrs talking about them or being sponsored and I always wondered what was in them as far as quality goes, Sadly I doubt I could get them here in Oz but it seems like there is a lot of very good quality stuff in them and most of it seems fairly useful.
