Turning a Bento Box Into a Stealth EDC Kit!

We are back with another review and today we're going to be checking out how I took an ordinary lunch box and turned it into an EDC kit. So without further ado let's hop right to this review because today we're going to be checking out the Green Lunch Bento box. This is going to be a multi-layered box so stay tuned because it's going to be a lot of fun. So the box itself as you can see here it's got one two layers plus the lid. It's got a little smaller compartment that goes in here on the lid as well and you can see it's got like this nice stainless steel chrome look so let's pop this lid off and check out what we got on the inside so whoa it is super bright there we go get that out of the way i'm shining in my face that's part of the reason why i got this in a certain position um so that i'm not getting just hit in the face like the the movie the fifth element anyway next up we got is a bandana the reason why i put the bandana in this layer is to hold and press down on these tools so they don't shift around which is kind of important when you have a metal box so you'll notice in the bottom compartment i'm going to have the same type of a tool in there something i would probably never use it's mainly meant to fill the void and to push down on these tools and making a ton of noise in the box so that being said that's why there's a bandana i guess i could use it to lay it out as a placemat to put tools and stuff on or work on as a placemat but yeah it's just a void fill for now we got the the fire sleeve from Exotac i put a piece of tarred bank line on here to tether the lid so it doesn't get lost when they're not together so that's important um so you don't lose that because then it becomes essentially useless here let's put this next to this then from in here we got the uh multi force from Ozark Trail, you bet, I bet you didn't think I was going to bust out an Ozark Trail multi tool for this build, but I did. It's got a little bit driver in it, it's got a lot of normal functional uh tools that are built in, there's a reversible bit uh built into this that any other normal multi-tool would have, so Ozark Trail putting out some really nice tools that's part of their premium model I believe for this year, next up we got is our flashlight which is going to be the SK06 from Loop Gear, this one's cool because it's got the beam, it's got the laser, it's got the UV and then it's got the lantern mode which I love the lantern mode SK06 from Loop Gear, USB-C charging metal battery bay door magnetic, very nice classy, next up we got from Civivi we got a nice little folder here with that washed style blade carbon fiber Micarta handle here, very very cool and then lastly since we got the multi-force with the grip if you would, the other non-marring grip solution I'm provided uh is a little adjustable pliers wrench from uh Work Pro so it's pretty cool very neat to have something that's not going to just completely destroy anything that I want to grab onto if I just use this, you know what I'm saying so it gives me an option or it gives me an option of preservation uh but it still allows me to have leverage so perfect next up we have this little kit right here which is going to be it snaps in but as you can see this as you can see it's got it's got a little bit of a small parts tin type of a feel to it so got a right in the rain notebook here with just some gear aid bandages gear bandages if you would some gear um gear repair that's what i'm looking for some gear repair patches so you get a rip in your jacket you get a rip in something like your laptop bag you can just slap this over it's got super grippy adhesion which allows you to basically grab onto anything that you slap it to kind of like the what's that guy flex seal type stuff it's kind of like that it's from Gear Aid it's meant for that next up we got is a high flow high connectivity charging cable it's got usbc lightning usba and usbc here and tells you how much your watt draw is which is actually quite nice and then we have a little apple charging brick and we have an 8 gig flash drive and then we have some more small parts as you can see here we got the little bass nail clipper quality of life thing. Foldable scissors from Fisker. A little scraper bar. I would not use this to pry anything. It's mainly just for scraping and for picking and doing odd beater style things that I'm not improvising my knife or anything else for. That's what this is for. This takes the place of me having to use any one of these other tools as a beater or an improv tool. I mean, I can just open boxes. So keep that in mind when you put pry bars and stuff like that in your tool bags. They're actually quite useful because it usually will take the hit for using one of these as an improv so you got a mini sharpie we got a tiny Ticonderoga full size write in the rain pen collapsible that one is we have a magnesium pencil sharpener from KUM this one is a German made one it has an extra blade on the side it is called KUM you can use it to sharpen your pencil or you can sharpen some sticks and get some kindling for your fire speaking of fire we got five all-weather matches tossed down in here from UCO then we have a dedicated bottle opener and an actual box opener from Gerber the bottle opener is the little mini hatchet you can use this to open up boxes for sure and of course open up some bottles so it's nice to have a dedicated bottle opener with you so you're not asking other people hey can you open this up for me hey can you do something for me no do it for yourself so here you go micro USB to USB-C love that USB-C to USB-A love that full sewing kit to repair gear this with those patches at the bottom of the notebook is a nice little gear repair gear repair setup for yourself um so keep that in mind something like this you can 3D print these cards this is an old school one like super old school like i got this from my parents it's a japanese sewing kit it's a piece of cardboard you can 3d print this in like 15 minutes and then just wrap the colors or whatever kind of cord you want around there for yourself and then pack the needles in so build those yourself you can find the models on Maker World if you want to print that that's not printed like i said it's an old school one then we got the bottom compartment which is going to be the i guess a rest of the amenities we got a space blanket this is going to be doing the same thing that our bandana is doing it's going to be pushing down on all this stuff so i don't have military energy gum flying all over the damn box every time i'm walking and the momentum from me shifting you know my weight so something like this and something like this in each one of the compartments so i don't have two bandanas in this kit so i don't have two space blankets in this kit i decided to do a bandana which might be used for something else and a space blanket that could be used to do something else so i'm not duplicating anything in here just to fill a void is what i'm trying to say speaking of that we have this slayer power bank gotta have a power bank in this kit we got an ultra slim 10 000 milliamp hour power bank for this kit we got two packs of military energy gum my favorite we got cinnamon here and we have uh spearmint i believe this one is or yeah this one's spearmint does it even say it on this one oh there it is spearmint so they did it a little bit differently than the other one but we got two really great flavors from Meg Love that we got Dude Wipes, gotta have a pack of Dude Wipes, we have a three-in-one Nest Cafe Love that we have some electrolytes, that one is lemon lime and then we have dragon fruit berry from Body Armor this one is an electrolyte and caffeine so electrolytes by themselves right here, caffeine and electrolytes straight up heavy dose caffeine straight up heavy dose caffeine so an amenities kind of zone down here if that makes sense then we got two hand warmers, these recharge these recharge, they're super simple stuff they just keep you nice and warm, you toss them in your your vest pocket or your jacket pocket your little front hoodie pocket and keep your hands warm, you know what I'm saying, you got two of them there for good measure, full first aid kit uh fully built this one out added stuff to it of course um bandages with Neosporin, it's got a Victorinox in there, cleansing wipes deployable towelettes, a full med kit, um, with medicine basically is what this is. I took the 27 piece Coleman. I have actually made a video about it last week, um, where I talked about how I actually built that out because it's essentially a $9 first aid kit, but you can add like a few more dollars worth of stuff. And now you have like a legitimate complete first aid kit to pack out in your backpack, your briefcase, your wife's purse, your car, your truck, your SUV, wherever you can just pack it out with a few more things in it and now you have like a legit workable first aid kit so check that video out if you want but yeah that's what i put in this kit and as you can see here this is a full-on kit i mean i got a lot of stuff in here this is like this is not your average lunch kit so if you don't eat lunch you eat one meal a day like me this type of a situation right here could be the perfect thing that you could pack out and people think you got a lunch but really it's a bento box full of awesomeness utility tools anything you could possibly want you want to sit down maybe while you're eating lunch or people on the job and you want to just have a nice drink of coffee or some caffeinated electrolytes or maybe just have some non-caffeinated electrolytes maybe you want to sit down and chew some gum you know what i'm saying you have the option to do all that stuff right here um with this little kit and of course there's also all these other you know gear repair tech things urban things that you would use um traveling around a city pretty much you know i'm saying i would assume that most of the stuff you know charging flash drives and stuff like that you're not going to be out in the country preparedness in the forest with a flash drive they ain't gonna do nothing for you but um being able to charge your phone you're probably near electricity so that's how i set this kit up in the hand warmers that's how i set this kit up this kit is set up for you to basically be like going to the job downtown somewhere and have yourself a nice little urban edc kit that's built out of a lunchbox so let me know down in the comments below what do you think of my lunchbox bento build what do you all the stuff i put in here is there something here you cherry pick for your own kits that you liked is uh this concept cool to be able to take a lunchbox and turn it into an urban EDC kit i mean let's go this was fun for me i've been staring at this bento box for years um it's had like this stuff these powdered drink things in them and i finally took all of them out of here and put them into a mini toolbox and then i had this box that was completely empty finally and i'm like dude i'm building a freaking kit out of that i want to build a kit out of that it's got a little compartment in there multi-layered design i can do like everyday preparedness and everyday use like tethered on top and put some preparedness stuff on the bottom like the first aid kit and all this other preparedness stuff and it can be really a really neat kit when you can just kind of separate it really easy and look at like everyday use stuff on top everyday preparedness stuff on the bottom and you even have this little sub module with a small parts tray so i saw this thing and the gears started turning and i was like dang let's make a kit so anyway that being said let me know down in the comments below what do you think of this bento box uh lunchbox sneaky pete there's no stickers on the outside it don't look like it's anything other than a plain jane little lunchbox little bento box but little does anyone know you got a lantern party inside so let me know down in the comments below you like this video give it a thumbs up want more content like this subscribe for more and have a great rest of your day
