Army Veteran Infantry Desert Storm here approves this video. Nachos by No-Neck! Love it! Hoo-ahh!

Love the stove idea! Couple of upgrades (added cost): add 4 coupling nuts near the stove and you can remove the legs. If you replaced wing nut with a lock gasp may be easier opening and closing when hot.

You are a life saver. You have made my homeless life so much easier. Ive been homeless or should I say "home free" meaning no outside responsibilities for a long time now and your advice has helped me save money and have saved my life on a few occasions. I just wanted to say thank you.

So refreshing to watch a man who's got mad skills. That stove was genius AF. Your snow Marine was cool too!

In a world where the price of everything is increasing a budget friendly diy upload is a godsend Another Outstanding Video!

Cool idea! The wing nut looks like a pain getting on and off. A metal spring clamp might make that a little easier. Looking forward to your next creation.

I am going out on a limb but I'd say the Marine Corp taught you discipline but most of your outdoor knowledge came from a great father or man and cooking came from mom. You eat so good it just seems you were raised in a old fashioned home with love

Damn it boy, my grandson (4yrs) and I love your channel and some of the simple meals you have created are outstanding. I bought a 5 gallon drum used for $7.00s and made a wood heater for my grandson and I. It works great.

Liked the DIY stove. Can’t wait to see the cabin. Keep it up.

Excellent, Shawn! Looking forward to ideas/adventures on your own piece of heaven... Especially the potential cabin build..

Awesome idea for a paint can Shawn. If you want something larger you might consider an old air compressor tank!

I used something free and along the same idea as the paint can…… An old mailbox!!! It’s perfect for this concept. It’s longer. It has a hinged door already built in. And it’s flat along the bottom. Give it a try. I think it’d make a great video. It’s a little more practical as far as wood size.

We’ve been using a sheet metal stove in our wall tent for 30 years. It has attached a tank that holds 3 gallons of water which helps hold the heat as the fire dies out. In addition to providing hot water for dishes or washing. Starting at about 10 below the stove needs to be fed regularly to stay comfortable!

My Bushcraft Guru does it once again and lives to tell another tale. I used a 20 gallon propane tank to make mine. Keep on doing you brother. Can't wait for your next outing and demo. Stay safe and have fun.👍🇨🇦🔥🥓🥩🥓

Love little homemade stoves. I've got one I made out of a 50 caliber ammo can. Great video, keep them coming

That snowman looks like a forever LCpl. His move up the ranks are frozen. That chap is a ruthless, ice cold killer.

This is such a good idea. I've always felt like hot tent stoves are way overpriced. I really appreciated the video inside this one of you putting it together as well. Nicely done AF!

Glad you got your property! Opens up a complete new world for You, Corporals Corner, and your Corporals Corner Family!

I did basically the same thing at Fort Ord , but with a five gallon oil can and a camo pole in my pup tent. Thanks as always, looking forward to more.

Lovin that Vet Snowman! Finally, a survivalist with a sense of humor!

Cool video who knew you could make a stove out of a paint can

Ok I got this notification instantly and not a second too soon just got home from church so no harsh words for RU-vid today but they still gotta tighten up. Thanks corporal

To avoid welding two cans, butt the open ends together with five matching holes drilled in the can lid channel to bolt them together after putting in the ash riser. Cut a square door in one end to feed it, thus avoiding the big opening. Good show

AMAZING and INSPIRATIONAL stove build !!!!! I was in different phases of construction for 30 yrs and Never thought of anything like this.....and I was thinking of buying a camp stove....SO your timing couldn't have been better !!!....awesome work man, seriously Keep doing what you do...WE absolutely DO appreciate and Need you to go on !! TYVM

Genius, and incredible AF ! $20 hot tent ⛺ 😍 Thank you Corporal Kelly! Ooh-rah!

Very cool little stove, I recommend Bolting a piece of 9x9 or so 1/8 steel right on top.. Believe the heat would spread better and give a place for a small pan to cook..

Excellent idea using a paint can for heat in your shelter! Some times we forget what is right in front of us to use to enjoy a weekend in the great outdoors! Love the channel, be safe, stay healthy, & God Bless everyone.

The snowman is legit.

Loved the paint can stove idea, looked real handy vs a $200 wood stove. Great night in the woods, alwayslooking forward to the next overnighter! Love what you're doing ❤️

This is pretty cool. I've always wanted to try hot tenting but have always been put off by the idea of spending a decent chunk of change on a stove that may not get much use. Corporal has me covered...

Another great video Corporal! Congratulations on the new property. Looking forward to the off grid cabin build. 🙏💪❤️

Right on the money with little stove, but with a suggestion to prolong burn without constant feeding. Split wood in chunks with pieces cut about 5 inches long but about 2 inches thick, much like feeding an actual wood stove. On an established bed of coals you can put bigger chunks of wood that burn longer and slower together and continue you coal bed base. See how that works for you along with controlled air intake. If you try that out again, let me know what you think buddy! Best wishes and great content, keep ‘em coming!

Great job corporal as always. Paint can stoves, cheap and easy. Good idea to put two cans together. The snow man sentinal, does his duty, requires no food and doesn't complain. Nice touch, very entertaining. Thanks for making Sundays outstanding af.

Thank you for everything you do brotha! As always your vids are entertaining af!

thank you for another great video.......another wonder Sunday ,,,,,church and your video.....hugs and blessings to you.....keep up the good work

man, seriously, that is a great American product. I mean it. We all seek something big and complicated but actually what we people need is this kind of simple device.

I haven’t used Velveeta cheese in decades and that was for fishing bait. But after watching you prepare that mouth watering cheesy dish, I’ll have to give it another try!

That Corporal Snowman!!!!!!! Awesome!!!!

Another possibility for the stove would be 5 gallon metal paint can. Not as common, but still acquirable. And as always, thank you for the great video. Keep up the awesome work 👍

Instead of welding two cans together, use aluminum heat tape. Then you could break it down if needed. Same thing with the 90° on the stove. Seals real good. Tool box stuff. I'm a fairly new sub and really enjoy your weekly vids. Thx

Great video. Thanks.

Your videos are awesome as always! Hope to see father and son joining together. Tina

Wow great home made stove, and unlike the expensive ones it weights a lot less and can be carried in on a hike. Great job and great video

From somebody who has worked HVAC the best way for cutting a circle in tin is to start in the middle and spiral cut to the line. And to eliminate the hooks around the edge of your door never use the shears to full close. Just use the middle of the cutting edge of the shears.

Awesome video sir, I had made a similar type of stove a few years back and was impressed by the performance. Cheap but very much a great way to make do.

My 8 year old daughter wants you to a blanket fort in pjs. In your living room. Just thought you might enjoy to hear that.

LOL Love the Snowman. He's a true vet. Thanks for the humor and the great instructional videos.

I’ve aspired to become like that snow MAN one day . 💪

That's brilliant. Definitely going to have a go at making one of those. Outstanding AF

I would highly advise that you do not use galvanized metal for any kind of indoor stove, the zinc oxide fumes that can be emitted from it at high temps can cause what's known as metal fume fever

Cool friggin stove!! I like that a lot. That snow man stood guard all night... salute!! Great video as always bro thank you for all you do 👍

The man is a genius!!!

when I was homeless due to repeatedly getting laid off during the start of covid. I made a squated teepee with a heated floor as it reaches -16 plus windchill where I was and the shelters are filled with beg bugs and thieves(staff). hard enough to get back on your feet without your helpers kicking you while your down. anyways. I had found a couple beat up but whole pieces of hollow metal fence post that surprisingly didn't have concrete on the end. they were connected with a elbow joint and not flexible in the least, roughly 7 foot in total. It was laying in the washout of a creek on the edge of town. I dug out a shallow trench across the bottom of my teepee. and laid that pole in the trench and covered it with dirt. on both ends/sides of the pole/teepee I dug a fire hole with the pole at the base on the side. I started a fire in front of my teepee and after a while the air started to pull through the pole to the otherside with some trial and error. fire at the entrance so I could feed it easy enough and keep a eye on it so I didn't set my stuff on fire. it kept me alive but it still wasn't comfy nights. I did this because I tried a fire inside my teepee but any bigger than a 8x8 inch round fire and I was smoked out so matter how much ventilation I allowed. If I'm ever in that situation again I might just make a coal bed outside and bring the coals inside. anyways great content it's given me ideas on how to make it when times where rough. love the attention on knots.

I know it's not the 100% Bushcraft way, but couldn't you use a solid fuel like bricquets (that's what they're called in Australia). (Coal based chunk about the size of an apple). To give a longer burn time. When you take the stove in you could fill it with them for later use. Just a thought mate. 👍🤠

Nice build Corp! Love hearing you talk about the future! Your videos keep me inspired and youtube would suck without you!

Nice shelter. Nice idea on stove. The new little dude had a good show. Thanks for your time helping us learn.

Another good idea for hunting or overnight camping out. But I like the idea on the 2 paint cans for longer wood. But I would use a metal can that is in between 5 gallon pail and paint can , so that way you can store all parts inside the stove while moving to another site.

G'day Shawn, thank you mate for another awesome video. When you mentioned your idea of adding two cans together, I immediately thought about a 20 litre, 5 Gal for you US folk, can. All the food places that deep fry food use oil that comes in 5 Gallon tins. They are throwing these cans away. That would be big enough to accommodate larger material and still small enough to fit in a larger tent, not your little one though. Best wishes my friend.

Outstanding! Just a great build, I built a rocket stove with a coffee can. Great work & thank you good sir.

I can't wait for the Off-Grid Cabin build!

5 gallon metal bucket or a 5 gallon pot. This may help with the wood situation. Love the videos. Also could you use the survival blanket instead of or with the tarp?

love the channel thank you for your service,and god bless you...

I can’t wait to see your off of grid cabin build. Your builds are always the cleanest quality craftsmanship.

Congratulations on closing on your new property. Oh the possibilities. Can't wait for the videos.

What do you think about a 5 gallon steel bucket? it could hold more wood and give you a cooking surface for bacon 🤔. As far as the property goes a survival cabin would be top notch 👌 kind of like a live in classroom 👍

When I try this camping technique I will also build a snowman and call him my boyfriend! The arbor knot is the same kind of knot used in sewing some quilts.

Great video your idea gave me one, use a piece of stove pipe an make as long as you want. Then just add a door an legs like that one. Thanks for the video Corporal . Stay safe.

I think this is my favourite video yet, from the simple stove build to a fast and effective tent from a tarp, and a basic knot how to… perfection!

Cool little stove. I will give it a try. To bad I did not hang onto one of the old five gallon oil/paint thinner can we used in the military' Be entrusting to see how that would work. Another great one more things to try. Thank you again .

You even have time for a little frivolity which is a good thing. Stack a few rocks around the stove for heat retention. 👍👍

Man... can't wait for the off grid cabin! Excited to see what's coming, and great video! Always been curious about these little stoves!

Another great video Marine. Thx for being there., I’m not doing good lately., it’s nice to see your stuff., Semper Fi.

I thought the paint can would be too small so was looking at building one from some ducting. But seeing it in action has me reconsidering! A little bigger wood may make it last longer. Also, a blanket across the bottom of you front will make a BIG difference in I side Temps. I can't wait to see the upcoming vids you mentioned. That snowman looks ready for action! As always, another great vid! Thanks for all you do!

Maybe putting in some charcoal in the stove would help keep a longer fire. I’ve heard of people using a metal mail box to make a small stove. Longer than a paint can and already has a door. Good video bro.

This guy is by far the best. Hands down. Best bush craftsman on RU-vid!!!

This deserves a Mandalorian quote. "It is the way". Congrats on the promo sgt.😁 Love the bucket build. Very cool! Awsome idea! And here's to all our vets. Thank You, for your service! And to all our current enlisted personnel. Stay safe. Stay alert. Stay alive. Come home soon. 😎 SALUTE!

“ Wanna build a snowman?” Why yes, yes you did.

Ah yes, the MP mantra. Outstanding!

Your paint can stove is a great minimalist idea that's given me a better idea. Using an outdated LP tank for a stove. Adding a rack or plate on the top for coffee and cooking. And a secondary rack on the inside for baking over the coals.

I wish we could go to this style of living. Trap game, fish, hunt. Live! ✌️

I Love the easy quick stove. Thank you Sir!!!

Can’t wait to see the cabin stuff!!! And the debris shelter hot tent sounds awesome. Please don’t light your self on fire.

Hi Corporal, another excellent episode. That paint can stove was very innovative, I loved it. Congrats on acquiring your property and I hope to see you there soon, possibly with the long term shelter you mentioned? Stay safe and well and I'll see you next week.

Good job you did a test burn outside in the open with all that galvanising burning off giving off toxic fumes 👍 galv burning off can make you feel really ill like a REAL bad head cold /flu. (Welders knowledge 👍) but cracking vid on improvisation, yet again 'OUTSTANDING ! 👌😉

Any stove , regardless of quality, small enough to transport is going to need constant tending. Still better than freezing lol

Living in upstate NY...the winter videos have provided me the most useful inormation...thnx..

I have an old metal gas can my dad used back before the 90’s to make a camp stove! Good ideas!

Thank you for sharing this video. I like the paint-can stove, with but one, minor quibble: Galvanized metal plus fire equals very bad juju. Please use a piece of stainless-steel sheet instead. Again, thank you for this video and keep on rockin'!

Great job as always!! Almost at 1millon subs!! What would that looks like!? Are you preparing a special show for your million!?? Enquiring minds want to know!! Stay safe. Stay warm. See you next week Shawn!! Thanks again!!

As always, if it’s Sunday it’s Corporal’s Corner. Another outstanding build looking forward to the off grid cabin

Thanks for showing this heater in a real situation. Your snowman was a delight. The dip was a pleasent surprise. I enjoyed my time watching this. Have a great day. God bless N C

Pro tip on shovels: search for emergency shovel instead of camping or backpacking shovel. This is a common rebrand item and they are half as cheap if you call them emergency shovel.

It would be nice to see you do the same thing with a 5 gallon metal container

I wish a few vets get together and start a outdoor survival page...ive been looking for fellow vets to do this with!!!

Built my entire bug out bag around your content. Gonna have to add the paint can to my home bag

I built a 5 gallon version out of a steel roofing tar pail I made a rocket stove out of stove pipe, filled the inside of pail with lava rocks for heat retention.

Stove turned out great. Suggestion: 5 gallon metal bucket gives you more time between loading up. Not sure if you were going for smaller size stove for hauling around, but the 5 gallon would hold all the parts inside. Also for ease wouldn't the lid to the canister used be easier for the fit and construction?

Like the direction this new theme is going... looking forward to a cabin build.

I like your simple Wood stove build.
