The team over at Man Crates have decided to rectify this issue by creating a series of crates specifically tailored to manly interests.
This is their Outdoor Survival Crate and it contains a waterproof storage bag, a Gerber Mini-Paraframe knife, an emergency whistle, a fire starter, waterproof matches, snare wire, emergency cord, fire tinder, an authentic FM21-76 Army Survival Field Manual, an emergency blanket, a survival wrist strap (10+ feet of 550 cord) and some glow sticks.
