The nut crate I got my husband last year made our Christmas. Getting inside the package was a riot. We had teenagers, oldsters, everyone trying to get it open (I wrapped it just as it came to the door.). He loved it, the nuts, the jovial good time. Plan to do same now.

I always order gifts in advance for anything so I dont have to panic about it not coming on time. I ordered this crate for my husband in the middle of may and chose the delivery date to be the day before fathers day. I did this because I have zero self control and always give him his gifts the second the get delivered and I didnt want to worry about that this year. Unfortunately it came late and was delivered the day after fathers day. Definitely a little disappointed that ordered so far in advance so I wouldn't have to worry about that and then it happened anyways. But the crate was amazing and we plan to order some more for Christmas this year. However, he did get it open within 5 minutes (including the duct tape) so I think we'll add zip ties to any future purchases.

My husband was surprised and loved every ounce of the taste test he did. I would purchase this over again and I would recommend it to everyone.

Got this from my daughter. She really knows her Dad!
A magnificent fight with the crate to find various unique, wonderful, tasty, and artfully dried meats inside!
Keeping the crate as a larder for more dried treats!

Every single one of these were so delicious!!! We were pleasantly surprised! Will order more crates again! By the way, id recommend your husband to open this outside if any trouble opening with wood splints on the floor for crawling babies ;)

I absolutely love this gift. Such a cool idea and I’m a huge Jerky fan. Keeping the box because it can definitely be used for something and the crowbar I can add to my collection. Great Idea!!

I had a package arrive a day before father's day 2019... a duck tape wrapped cube! (I have wrapped a few gifts in duck tape over the years and several have been wrapped gifts inside additional wrapped layers)

After seeing who sent it, I contacted my daughter to see if I could open it early. I was able to as long as we streamed the video to her and her boyfriend.

The duck tape was pretty well wrapped, so it took me a bit to unwind the tape around the box. Then opening the outer box I saw the crate and the crow bar! It took a bit. One edge came off pretty easy, but the cover had been sealed with hot glue (no additional nails). I started to reach for a hammer and was told "NO"... So I got more creative on edges and corners to break into the crate... Needless to say, I got in and found EXOTIC MEATS!

Here I am days later and I am still enjoying the meats!

And I thought enough of how cool this was to write this review!!!

Wife got this for me for fathers day and was amazing. I love beef jerky and this variety was awesome.

I just received this for Father's day and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect gift. I love beef jerky and love trying new food. I can't wait to try all of these. Great job mancrates!

Everything was great! Elk and buffalo were the best. The smoked beef was not all that but over all 5 star experience!

My husband didn’t know what to make of the crate and then the small pry bar...he opened it carefully so not to damage the nice wooden crate and was pleasantly surprised to find all the jerky treats inside. He examined each one carefully and couldn’t wait to try them! He loved this gift and said it was the best gift ever....unique, fun, and delicious!

This is a great idea!! The thing I didn’t like was that I feel like a paid a lot of money ($104, had 14%off) for a small amount of meat. Maybe add more meat so people feel like their money was well spent.

Came in the mail and it was like a puzzle to figure out what was going on with this "package"- Very unique box- interesting meats and the overall WOW factor made the whole experience fun!
Well done Man Crates!

I bought this crate for my husband as a Christmas gift. He was soooo impressed with the crate and all the jerky. He loved that he had to use a crow bar to open the box. He opened it so carefully and kept the box. Jerk is gone !

My boyfriend absolutely loved this gift. I also bought him a huge new tv, and the exotic meats crate was his favorite gift. He had the crate open in about a minute, which was perfectly fine. He enjoyed opening it and loved the contents. He says the alligator is the best. I do feel that the price is a little high. I know the jerkey is “exotic” and more pricey, but I feel like for over $100 you should get more jerkey. He has eaten about half of the contents today. He was SHOCKED when he looked up his gift and saw the price. He loved the gift so if you’re looking for a gift for someone who is very hard to shop for, it is worth it. But you’re definitely gonna pay for it.

This will be my second time purchasing a mancrate. The first one I bought for my boyfriend about 2 years ago when I came across the website just trying to find something nobody else would have & boom, I found this site.

This year I’ll be buying my boyfriend, my dad & my dads boyfriend one of these crates.

It’s a great idea & I loved his face when he unwrapped it & had to pry it open with the little bar it comes with. He had a little trouble but once he got it open he absolutely loved it & some of the guys he worked with did to. I’m sure he ate on it for months.

Thanks for making my Christmas list easy!!

All taste good and fresh. This was a great surprise. So far I tried the alligator, beef, Buffalo.

Well i have to say....we are soo happy with the jerky but the box itself looks very cheap. I even paid to have the box wrapped with tape to make it much harder to open and still my husband had the whole set up open with a good 30-40 sec. I thought you guys used nails to hold it all together but instead it was glue from a hot glue gun ha ha. A couple pieces of the box when pulling out of cardboard box fell of the sides. I read some reviews before buying this item and all of them state they r hard to open .... Ours was very easy. I requested a free message/quote to be delivered with the box and we didnt recieve that. I do love this whole idea you guys have come up with but i do think you guys should have used nailed or something more then glue to hold the box together. All in all very happy with the jerky. Paid $120.00 for this gift and i feel as if box and all its contents is only worth $60-65.

I was once again stumped on what to get my Dad for his birthday and then someone told me about Man Crates. I browsed and I found the Exotic Meats crate and I thought Dad would love it. Turns out that he loved trying to open the crate (which he had to get a hammer to help him) and was shocked to find all the exotic meats in there. He told me that he was craving wild boar and elk jerky for a while. This is definitely worth it! This was my first purchase and I will get one of these for my boyfriend too. Thank you Man Crates!

Thank you for creating this awesome gift! For twenty years my husband has been sending me flowers and having gifts delivered to me at work and I couldn't return the favor! He is a man and not the kind that would appreciate flowers and fruit baskets being delivered to him! But finally, you have made something that I not only was excited to send, but that he was thrilled to receive! He and the guys at work thought this was an awesome surprise! My husband likes it so much he wants to send one to his best friend in the military! So thank you again, it is a neat gift and everything in it is great! He and the guys ate almost all of it in one sitting!

I sent this to my deployed husband and he absolutely loved it! He enjoyed all the different meats. I am definitely buying from here again in the future. It is very thoughtful gift.

I bought this for my sons 32nd birthday and when it arrived the front pieces of wood fell off but, it was just in need of a quick hot glue fix. I decided to add a few more nails to the already tightly sealed box just to add a little more frustration. He has fun with this and was impressed that mom found something yet again, different and unusual. It was a lot of fun and even though he didn't like ALL the meats (he's picky) he did enjoy 95% of them I would say.

I just got this crate as a gift from my girlfriend. It was awesome, she had a blast watching me struggle to open it. Diabolical Duct tape cacoon was a good touch. And the pry was perfectly difficult to get under the rim. The meats have so far been amazing as well. Great box, guys. We will be buying more.

I bought this as a birthday gift for someone who is impossible to buy for, and he loved it! I definitely recommend getting it wrapped in the duct tape, that was an added bonus to watching him open the box. He couldn't open it with just the crowbar, but it was entertaining to watch. The crate is smaller than I expected, but it did not take away from the experience. Although expensive, it really was worth it. All of the jerky was delicious! I would absolutely buy from Man Crates again.

my step daughter got me this for Christmas and I loved it.lots of critters I've never tasted before. I have since given two crates as gifts to friends. I have spent a lot more money and gotten a lot less of a reaction on gifts I've given. I love it when the receiver says"where do you come up with these wonderful gifts?" that alone is priceless.anyone complaining about the price needs to man up and realize that quality and originality cost a little more than Walmart does. you guys have an excellent product, keep it up.
