I love subscription boxes because my kids love subscription boxes. OUTSiDE BOXES (coupon code HSON25), a monthly subscription box that goes beyond just outdoor survival skills. Intro box (backpack, waterproof sketchpad, bear bell, etc) • Fire box (had a fire starter kit, learn about fire safety and a flint and steel, etc) • Wildlife box (animal tracking cards, binoculars, etc) • Repair box (sewing kit, duct tape challenges, para cord, etc) • Knot box (learn how to tie knots, para cord, carabiner, etc) • Shelter box (survival tent, flashlight, etc)
