I enjoy your videos, and thank you very much for your time and your hard work😊

I've watched every episode of The Red Green Show, where duct tape is the handymans secret weapon...but they never used it as a fire starting source....very cool 😎

You make it look easy . Love the videos.

The BOSS of Bush crafting and survival.

This is a great video, Shawn. Thank you 😎👍🏻

Vast majority os so-called bushcrafters stage everything. CC is the real deal!

Thanks for sharing Shawn. Always a pleasure to learn new skills and techniques 💪

Finally, a simple explanation of what fatwood is and where to find it. Awesome video❗️👍

That was a great mid week video!

Awesome

Repetition is the mother of all knowledge. Your fire starting methodologies is a really valuable pieces of advice. I think I will add some fat-wood sticks to my outdoor equipment as well, truly inspired from your midweek videos. Thanks for your stubbornness to still hanging in there on RU-vid, Shawn!

Good stuff

I used to live in Georgia and it wasn't nothing to go walking and find a piece of fat-lightered wood. We mostly had slash pine

Among the MANY things I appreciate about your presentations are your honesty & realistic approach. Some channels present survival skills in the most ideal conditions; but the reality of most survival situations is that conditions will be horrible. I appreciate your service to our country; your investment of time & energy in preparation for yopur presentations; & your experience & expertise in the trenches & in the woods. At age 82, I always look forward to learning new skills! May God bless you & your family.

Please keep them coming, fine sir!

Outstanding AF. Ever since you showed me the duct tape trick a few years back, it has been a staple in my bag. As always, Thanks for all you do.

Excellent content as usual. Enjoyed the video have a great evening.

The man killing it with another mid week video… raining on Long Island right now.. going out to try

Another outstanding video for the books. Great ideas and solutions for trying to start a fire in a wet surrounding. As usual, you rock Shawn, and your videos always are entertaining and informative AF!!

Outstanding af corp 2 times a week thank you for your dedication and time

King of fire!! Great instruction! Keep up the incredible work.

I never get tired of watching you make flame 🔥

Useful information to chew on, cause the weather ain't always great! Love what you're doing 😊

The teaching aspect of the mid week videos combined with the more physical application on Sunday is OUTSTANDING AF! Love where your taking the channel.

Nice. Got my forks and gig 2.0 yesterday. On my birthday. Thank you so much and this forged gear is amazing

And thats how its done!😄

You are out standing

Hey there sugar bear 🧸 love ❤️ your videos!!! Please don't ever stop making many countless and numerous more!!!! 🥰🤠🥰🧸🦣🐻 And Howdy Howdy from DeadHorse Alaska sweetheart 💞!!!!

I've watched you for the last 7+ years. And I'm glad to see the last few weeks you look like your having fun doing this again. I like the buils too so keep it up. I'm stoked AF.

Never thought of the sap “pooling” at the limb/trunk junction. Thanks.

Shawn, you seem to the one on You Tube that holds the knife steady and pulls the ferroceum rod away from the bundle. Best method because there is zero chance of hitting/disturbing the bundle. Thanks for showing this technique.

I saw this on Thursday. Thanks for the info!!!!!!! Thanks for continuing to put out interesting videos!!!

Midweek video are outstanding A.F 👏👏👏 Thank you n I'll see you, on Sunday 🫡

Thanks!

If it ain't rainin' we ain't complainin'😊

Video displaying the hands of a hardworking man. Thanks.

That is so much fun to watch. I very much appreciate you saying, "Truth be told, it took me three times to find the best way." You are a fantastic influence and instructor. Thank you for all you do.

Love that you keep it simple. On my way to the Dollar General. Pick your poison people.

Never miss a video but this one really caught my attention and I had to replay part of it, you said Stater Bros lol I’ve been working for them for 34 years. I had to replay that part of the video, awesome lol.

Another great mid-week video.

👍👍👍👍👍❤ Thank you for sharing this information

CPL Kelly, Fire God. Outstanding!!

Very informative. Thanks for the content. On the west coast we call fatwood pitchwood and it can be found when cutting pine. Burns like a candle.

Great mini. Thank you

A perfect addition to a good week . Thanks Corporal . 🔥

Excellent instruction! Thank you.

And the bad assery continues! Great job corporal. All your efforts are appreciated, maybe not by YT, but for many. That's why I always give a like and comment. Thanks.

This was awesome. Very informative. I will be practicing asap

Outstanding AF

Glad to see you're doing so well with your outdoor business. Some years back I did go out between storms to practice starting a fire in wet conditions. AFTER clawing my way into a thorny bush to get "dry" tinder at the base and trigs to get the base fire going. I was quite proud of myself. I was sitting there when I spied an old broken tree stump about 10' tall - maybe 18" dia. and saw a small triangular hole at the base. Reached in and pulled out a handful of totally dry tinder! How stupid was that! Didn't even check for bugs and critters! LOL!

Barney style, i love it!!!

Another comment for the algorithm. Cool video.

Always OUTSTANDING 🙏🇺🇸💯🕊️💪🤙😊

I like that you make sure that viewers know the trick is in mastering the small details

Thanks Cpl. Kelly, love to watch you’re videos

Good video my friend. Btw my granddaughter made her shelter Sunday afternoon with no physical help from me. I just cheered her on. This granddaughter of mine thinks you can rope the moon. Pard we appreciate you for what you do.🐕‍🦺🇺🇲

Awesome video per usual. Alternate title, Corporal Og make 🔥 🍺🫵🤟🇨🇦🫡🇺🇸🤟🫵🍺🔥

I’ve learned a lot from watching your videos.👍👍

Awesome stuff once again. Very informative.

Thx Shawn

That "one shot job" that you are good at when using your ferro-rod. Great mid-week vid man. 👍 I need to get much better at the bow drill.

🔥

Really good CPL, thanks!

Best bushcraft survival channel on YT

Great topic and appreciate the honesty about how many times it took to get it right. Not many people show that it’s not perfect every time .

Cpl Kelly, you make it look so EZ.

👍🏼👍🏼🇨🇦🇨🇦👍🏼👍🏼 love them all

Good stuff as always 👍 I like to carefully make a small pile of shavings off the ferro rod which adds a nice boost to the tinder 💥

I liked the video you did about a year ago on how to start a fire in the rain as well. Great practical advice! Thx!

My uncle ran a timber skidder , when he found good pine logs , he skid them out to where we could get to them with our saws and pickups . Made fair money cutting that stuff into 8 inch blocks , some of the rich pine maybe 14 to 16 inches through, we kept the knotty stuff to give to grandpa and granny , all the buyers wanted was what would split easy .

All great ideas.

👍👍👍 Awesome 👌 ...Alan in 🇨🇱

Great content, we appreciate your effort. BZ

Next time Corporal thanks again👍🏽

Excellent video thanks

Great tips. Thankyou.

7:51 the old school method. Gotta be sure that you really drill that hole fast enough. 😉😁👍

Best bow driller on RU-vid. It appears one of the secrets is proper prep of the materials.

Pertinent subject matter. This is easily one of the wettest summers on record where I live. Not easy going trying to start primitive fire. This is the first time I've seen anyone make fire using a bow drill and fatwood. Another tool for the tool box. Makes perfect sense to carry a piece of fatwood in your go bag. Good stuff corporal. Always interesting. The Wednesday/Thursday format is awesome.

I really like the tape part about making a fire,going to put some in backpack today,thanks Shane.👍🙏

You can even create artificial fatwood: cooking pine in wax for some minuts. A very good reminder for me! Make the most out of my gear!

For a guaranteed fire in the rain, I use cade wield.

The mid week video allows you to show and teach better than the regular video. Keep it up Brother!!!

Well done sir

yes, all tried and true methods. thank you for teaching new people, and reminding older ones things they may have forgotten.

Good information to know outstanding af

try using cotton wool when using the bow or doritos with feras rod

That duct tape trick saved my ass one time when I got stuck out in an unexpected heavy downpour and I learned that from you. I tell everyone about how you can set duct tape on fire even in the rain now and I never leave home without a little duct tape with me, even if it's just to do something in the city. I got a fire with a ferro rod before and was pretty proud of myself since I had no fat wood so I used saw dust and it wasn't all that dry either. I made a bow drill but then it turns out that I can't really do that with my completely separated shoulder and, while I can do most things with either hand, I couldn't do the bow drill and it hurt my other shoulder anyway. So I tried the hand drill and I did get the wood black and quite warm but, unfortunately, the day was also warm and so I overheated before the wood and had to stop. I'm going to try again next time it's cool enough for me to go out to my fort again but I'm sure I'll get it because I definitely was on the right track with the hand drill. We'll see.

another great mid week,,as always i learn somethin each week even if it is something i have seen before..1 thing i would like to know,,can you make a tinder bow and block out of fat wood..until next week ,,semper fi from southern delaware

YEAH!

You have been very creative over the years in showing many different ways with different products and challenges how to make fire, cook, hunt, or make shelter, etc, your a stand out in this field. I appreciate and enjoy your videos

Lit AF 💪

Love your work Corporal!

Midweek Funday! That bow drill,was awesome. Keep up the great work 👍

Keep these coming. Solid video

fatwood is great, i chop it into smaller sticks to keep in old altoids tin along with a small ferro rod and small piece of old hacksaw blade for striking. nice compact reliable fire kit i keep on me anytime im out in the wild

Excellent show love this stuff GOD BLESS

Another good idea is save your dryer lint. One spark lights a ball of it instantly

Juuuustt like that! Love it!
