When civilization crumbles, you might need iodine tablets to counteract radiation poisoning, flint for starting fires, a stun gun to defend yourself, or traps for catching tasty animals.

Those are a few items that BattlBox, a subscription box service for doomsday preppers, has mailed to the doorsteps of its customers in handsome cardboard packages since launching in 2015. And BattlBox isn’t alone: though subscription boxes like Trunk Club and Birchbox started by shipping swank clothing and skincare supplies like, there are now a striking number that instead cater to rugged survivalists—which is striking, since a subscription box relies on the internet, payment processors, the postal system and many other things that don’t exist off the grid.
