Mission 95 Brief

Ole Currin Claus was good to our family. We had a bit of a surprise. My oldest son had a remodel (wreck) done to his truck, but very grateful that he is ok and everyone walked away. Took a few years off Myself and Mrs. 1776, but all is well.

Frigg’n excited to kick off 2023—this is the 9th year in business for BattlBox.Thank you for continuing to be a subscriber and letting me do what I love each day.

So, what about this month? Many of you guys know I live in a very rural area. After watching the water issues that Jackson, MS had last year, we thought it important to restock on quality purification tabs that are usable for bulk storage as well as spur of moment use. Watching the suffering that was happening in Jackson really makes you realize just how important clean water is and how quickly things can go bad. Acquiring clean water is often thought of as basic, simple, and easy, but it’s often not well-thought through. We need water to survive. Without it is certain death.

My favorite item this month? The Spyderco! We got to spend some time with the folks at Spyderco at their factory in Colorado two years ago and are always looking for a way to work with them. Really excited to feature the Spydreco Resilience.That iconic Spyderco shape/ design is of course a fan favorite but my favorite attribute of this knife is the size. It’s not a small knife that gets lost in my hand. Great size, feel and of course SHARP!

New for 2023 — our monthly “member recommended” feature. This is where we include a product that was suggested by one of y’all—our subscribers!This month we’re excited to include the Klymit Wild Aspen 20 Sleeping Bag suggested by Russell from Athens, GA. Great time of year for a cooler weather bag. I’m a huge fan of Klymit products so I am pumped to see this included.

We’d love to see any recommendations you have in hopes that we can feature it in a future box this year. Please scan the QR code below to access our submission form, or join us in our members-only Facebook group.

Thank you again for supporting our mission. Excited to spend time with everyone in the Facebook group this month and I am looking forward to an exciting 2023!
Now off to pack for Shot Show.......... (anyone need a grenade launcher?)

CAMO CORPS Shammy Bundle

The most forgotten item for the typical outdoor enthusiast is some sort of product to wipe down, clean, and dry things. Well, here is an amazing trio that I hope you won’t forget from U.S. CAMO CORPS–the Field Shammy, Kitchen Shammy, and Shammy Sponge! These things are awesome for drying yourself, or gear off, and scrubbing pretty much anything.The Field Shammy never stops working. Even when wet, it dries gear quickly and even removes fish odors from your hands. The Kitchen Shammy is great for wiping wet surfaces, cleaning utensils and all of your cooking gear. The Shammy Sponge is the most unique sponge ever!They’ve covered a high-capacity foam sponge with a super-absorbent ShamoFlage fabric. It absorbs and holds over 15 times its weight and unlike flimsy cellulose sponges, it performs without any smell or bacteria growth. These are excellent alternatives to paper towels and are far more absorbent, reusable, and no trash to mess around with.
