[ASGMAG.COM] AMERICAN SURVIVAL GUIDE 39
A
lthough you may not be go-
ing into battle any time soon,
the contents within these
amazing boxes may very well
save your skin while you’re
out on nearly any type of outdoor survival
exercise or adventure.
Battlbox, basically put, is a subscription
box-of-the-month service that equips you
with some of the latest high-quality gear for
camping, survival, self-defense and other
rigorous activities. They’re available in four
levels, including basic, advanced, pro and pro
plus. You control the mix and cost that’s right
for you.
Each month’s kit offers a different assort-
ment of items, and they all share one com-
mon theme: to be fully functional and useful
in the outdoors directly out of the box.
Battlbox was exceptionally kind and sent
me their highest tier box, the Pro Plus. With
the surprisingly large shipment under my arm,
I trekked into a nearby nature center to put
some of the included items to the test in a
real outdoor environment. Read on to see how
they did.“THE QUESTION AS
TO WHETHER OR NOT
THE CONTENTS OF
MY BATTLBOX WERE
USEFUL OR JUST FOR
SHOW AND DESTINED
TO BE FILED AWAY
IN A SOON-TO-
BE-FORGOTTEN
STORAGE CONTAINER
SOMEWHERE, WAS
ANSWERED AS I
DUG DEEP INTO THE
CONTENTS AND GOT
HANDS-ON IN THE
FIELD.”
