I chose to grab a single mystery box… I chose to grab a single mystery box based on what I heard while listening to the casual preppers podcast and used their discount code. I’m not upset with my box but I’m not impressed. I got 4 emergency water pouches and 2 freeze dried weis meals. The “big” item was 2 solar panels. They are heavy and I don’t see myself using them for anything other than a shtf situation. My box did not include the shredded paper that it indicated could be used as tinder. I’ll be sampling some other subscriptions to see if they seem better/more valuable to me.

Well I ordered the large and the video… Well I ordered the large and the video said all new members got the box with the backpack and a more expensive knife cant remember if it was Gerber or sogg but I got a regular it was gear only which I did order gear only but it did get here in a quick time

My first box was fairly underwhelming My first box was fairly underwhelming. It had quite a few items in it but most of them were small trinkets. Overall the box lacked the quality I expected after it was talked up so highly on a podcast I listen to. Most of the items seemed like things that could be purchased at Walmart in the outdoors aisle for only slightly more than I paid for this box. I suppose it is the nature of subscription boxes to end up with things you don’t need but I at least expected one item of standout quality. I will give it another month or two to see if it is different after the first box but if not I will be cancelling.

You can't please all the people all the time 😊 The one thing that I would keep in mind, as with all subscription boxes, is that the company has to please a wide variety of people with a wide variety of interests. Each box or theme may not appeal to you personally, but it will appeal to someone. I've been a subscriber for over a year now, and I've received some items that aren't to my taste, but I'm still a subscriber, and that is probably the best recommendation I can give.

Returning customer I am a returning customer, after taking a break for a few months. My "Welcome Back' box was not a disappointment. I subscribe to the "Alpha" box and was pleasantly surprised to have received a solar panel as a free gift in my box. I was already in the market for one and now I got one in my favorite price range ... free! In addition, the other items in the box were a welcome addition to my gear. I am always happy to receive the emergency food and water. The seeds are nice addition, as well. Keep up the good work, Survival Boxes!
