The tape is already half off when he decides the unboxing should be on camera. The box is from Ham Radio 2.0. Jason’s mystery boxes. He gets it open without cutting himself, sees black, and likes it before he knows what the parts are.
A cup. A can cooler. A lighter. A sticker pack. He sets the knife down and goes back through them.
The cup is double-walled. He is not going to heat water over a fire in it. The paint would peel. Black is the color. He says almost everything he owns is black. A skull is printed on it. It matches the shop. He jokes that Jason knew where it was going.
The can holder clips to a belt and is built for MOLLE. The sides have MOLLE straps too. The brand on it is Tac Gear. He does not have a can in reach. A cup about that size fits. Velcro on the face means a patch can cover it. He counts that as a win, and the cup as the other one.
The lighter keeps the skull. It is butane, and it refills. That is the difference from a disposable, and it is the third thing he is happy about.
The sticker pack goes to the fridge. One is another Ham Radio 2.0 design. One says eat, sleep, POTA, repeat.
He points at the website. Several kinds of boxes, some of them subscriptions, and you do not know what is in the next one. Friday, the UPS driver, a box. He thanks Jason, says he will order another, and says he might get on a monthly subscription now that he has held the gear.
