KEEPSAKE BOW DRILL KIT : $65
This Bow Drill Kit was hand carved exclusively for subscribers to the August 2014 APOCABOX. My Uncle Jerry hand cut the bow from Tulip Poplar and my family and I hand painted each one. Included in the kit is a hand carved Basswood spindle, a hand split Basswood hearth board, a machined hearth board, a river rock bearing block, some Jute Twine for a tinder bundle and a custom cut hand painted Tulip Poplar bow. A lot of work has gone into making this one of a kind keepsake friction fire set and I hope you will enjoy it for years to come. I have already busted out an ember with your kit to make sure everything works as it should.
MORA CLASSIC NUMBER 1 : $18
I love these knives. They are truly one of the best all around camp knives available. The carbon steel blade is razor sharp and easy to keep sharp. The redwood handle is both durable and natural. I usually wear this knife as a neck knife with a piece of paracord threaded through the sheath. Made in Sweden.
HAGWOOD GOLD : $3
Hand shaved from the finest resin rich wood available, Hagwood Gold is harvested in the swamps of South Florida and burns longer and hotter than any other fatwood that I’ve personally used. Each chunk of pine fatwood is hand selected for its resin content. This GOLD will start with just a spark and is an excellent addition to any Bug Out Bag or survival kit. It is also waterproof.
METAL MINI KIT CONTAINER: $2
This tin is the same size as an Altoids tin and makes the perfect mini container for a survival kit. Use it to build a small pocket kit. Suggested kit items are zip lock bags, water purification tablets, wire or dental floss, fire striker or matches, HAGWOOD Gold, mini compass and some duct tape. The stainless gig and arrow points fit perfectly inside.
STAINLESS STEEL LASER CUT GIG KIT: $12
When it comes to putting food on the table, it’s all about the small critters. The razor sharp stainless gig can be lashed to a pole and used as a fish or frog gig. The individual arrow points can be used as arrowheads or spearheads for survival hunting. What’s best is that all of these pieces fit perfectly in the bottom of a mini kit container. Add in other survival items to round out your kit. It’s also a great addition to your Bug Out Bag or Glove Box Kit. I love super lightweight and compact hunting tools.
APOCABOX VINYL STICKER: $ priceless
Survival tool? No, not really. This is just to make other people jealous.
SNO-SEAL BEES WAX : $7
When it comes to protecting and waterproofing leather goods and boots, SNO-SEAL gets the job done. It’s natural so it doesn’t break down the leather like a lot of other oils and animal fats. I’ve even used it on chapped skin before. I’ve also used it on canvas shoes and backpacks as well. It is an excellent all around weather protector and a smart addition to the survival storage closet. Gear maintenance is often an overlooked part of survival and preparation. This tub should last you for years to come.
Build the Perfect Bug Out Vehicle : $17
I’ve enclosed a copy of my latest book, Build the Perfect Bug Out Vehicle. I’ve also added a personalized autograph for you. Whether you’ve already got a BOV or are thinking about outfitting one, this manual covers all of the bases. I hope you enjoy it.
PREP-SHAKE : $4
Lightweight food supplement with long shelf life. 335 calories, 25 grams protein, 52.5 grams carbs and 5 grams fat. Simply mix with water and drink like a shake. Perfect for a Bug Out Bag, mini-kit or glove box kit. Very practical food alternative/supplement for Bug Out Scenarios.
36×20 Survival Marker Panel : $7
Many people overlook this important piece of kit. It is made from lightweight, water repellent nylon. I just recently added one of these to my own Bug Out Bag. This is a multi-fuctional item that can be used as a signaling rescue panel or stripped for high visibility trail markers. Other uses include: food prep cloth, ground cloth, panel to help water proof a shelter or water collector. Your creativity is the limit.
PERMANENT MATCH KEYCHAIN : $5
This is a pretty unique little EDC gadget called a Permanent Match. To use, unscrew the metal match out of the tube. Strike the end of the ‘match’ upwards on the ferrocerium rod along the side of the tubular case. The sparks will ignite the fuel soaked fiber wick. Wicks can be replaced or lengthened by pulling out the small metal striking tip. More lighter fuel can also be added to the reservoir if necessary. Even if you run out of fuel you still have a great little ferro rod that will shower sparks into tinder. Extinguish the flame before inserting the match back into the reservoir.
House of jerky beef jerky : $6
One of my favorite camping meals is ramen noodles with some beef jerky. This jerky is made fresh – sliced from premium whole top round steak. It is made fresh with no preservatives or MSG added. The long shelf life also makes this a great BOB item.
Fire Keeper : $12
No Bug Out Bag is complete without a disposable lighter. Finding it is another story all together! This handmade “FIRE KEEPER” by Life & Limb Tactical is the perfect solution to never losing your disposable lighter again. Quickly secure the FIRE KEEPER with the attached paracord lanyard so that it’s always easy to grab. The custom molded kydex sheath is durable, protective and won’t let go even in extreme conditions.
550 FIRE CORD : $13
550 Fire Cord is a brand new survival product and I’m excited to include it in this month’s box. Simply deploy your 550 FireCord to meet all of your parachute cord needs. When you need the fire tinder, remove the inner strands, and use the unique tinder strand to build your fire. The outer shell can be reused for lanyards, keychains, zipper pulls, or emergency lashings. The inner ‘fire cord’ can be ignited with just the sparks from a ferro rod. Use FIRE CORD as zipper pulls on jackets and backpacks to always have fire tinder within reach. It’s also WATERPROOF!
OLYMPIA GRANOLA TRAIL BAR: $2.99
You hear the word natural thrown around a lot these days, but Olympia Granola is made with truly natural ingredients you can actually recognize. Founded by a family business in the Olympic Mountain region, they’ve stayed true to the original recipes…so it’s made with just the good stuff. They’ve also included a 15% discount code exclusively for APOCABOX subscribers!
SURVIVAL IS SIMPLE PATCH: $5.95
If you’ve watched the survival show I host on The Weather Channel called FAT GUYS IN THE WOODS then you already know that the show opens with the motto: SURVIVAL IS SIMPLE. JUST DON’T DIE. I thought a patch for your favorite jacket or survival pack is appropriate. You can sew it on or heat-seal it using a home iron on COTTON setting for 30-60 seconds. Heat-seal on cotton only.
EDC INCONSPICUOUS HANDCUFF KEY : $9
This unique piece of Every Day Carry (EDC) gear is a handcuff key that utilizes an integrated clip for easy attachment to your clothing so it is ready when needed. Its minimal, low-profile design and low-visibility coating ensure that it can be carried inconspicuously and go undetected. Designed to fit all standard “peerless” style handcuffs. It is meant to be part of your everyday carry so it is there when you need it. Attach it where you can easily access it when cuffed: jeans belt loop, pants pocket, shirt tag, socks or even on the inside of your pants or underwear waistband. This product is to only be used to counter illegal detainment and in accordance with all local, state and federal laws. Improper use by civilians is not endorsed or encouraged. Use of the product is at your own personal risk and discretion.
MARBLES RAZOR KNIFE : $4
These sweet little razor knives are made right here in the USA. They’re the perfect size for a mini-tin survival kit or Last Ditch Pocket Kit. They also make excellent small game field dressing blades. It’s small but mighty!
BUG OUT BAND : $19.95
Keeping copies of important documents such as insurance paperwork, medical records and account numbers in your Bug Out Bag is recommended just in case sudden evacuation from your home becomes necessary. Many, including myself, keep this information on a thumb drive for convenience and as a digital back-up. I have always been a little uncomfortable with keeping this type of sensitive information in my Bug Out Bag just in case it were ever to be lost or stolen. Consequently, I developed the Bug Out Band. This is a 1 GIG USB Bracelet meant be worn in the event of a Bug Out. I keep mine with my Bug Out Bag in the house and will then slap it on when necessary. With the Bug Out Band, your sensitive information and important documents are always with you.
SOLAR PARABOLIC FIRE STARTER : $14
I’m a huge fan of understanding how to harness the power of the sun to start fire in a survival scenario. This is a very unique little solar fire starting gadget. Best used with punky wood or charcloth, this parabolic lens focuses the suns rays into the small coiled tinder pocket to create a smoldering ember. This tool is also part of this month’s SURVIVAL SKILLS CHALLENGE.
NOTE: Included with this item is an APOCABOX logo bag with 3 small lengths of Jute Twine and some dried Punky Wood. These items are to assist with the SURVIVAL SKILLS CHALLENGE.
ZOMBIE TINDER: $9.99
I couldn’t very well mail an October Survival Box without including something ghoulish. This Zombie Tinder is not only freaky, it’s effective. It’s 100% Water Proof, Never Expires, Unaffected By Altitude, Can Light Wet Wood, Can Be Lit With A Spark, Has a Long Burn Time, Is Non-toxic, and Burns At Over 1,600 ºF. The tin can also be used to make char cloth or signal for rescue by reflecting the suns rays. Zombie Tinder is also hand made right here in the USA.
WILD EDIBLE CARD DECK: $9.95
Sergei Boutenko is one of my favorite Wild Edible Plant Enthusiasts. He created this unique deck of playing cards which allows you to play your favorite card games and at the same time learn about common edible plants of North America. In addition to vivid photos, thorough descriptions and nutritional highlights, this deck also includes common sense guidelines for safe and happy foraging. All the wild edible information within this package is tried and true and has been tested extensively by Sergei himself. He has also autographed your deck to make it truly one of a kind – exclusively for APOCABOX subscribers.
CREEK’S GOING NATIVE BANDANNA: $5.95
Manufactured in South Carolina by one of the few remaining textile mills with production facilities in the US, this 100% cotton bandanna will serve you well in the field with multifunctional survival uses. The pattern harkens to the rich primitive history in the American Southwest.
