Ok my Sunday is now complete. Some people think Sunday is for Football but as for me I say Sunday is for learning from the Corporal.

Hello! I'm almost 76 yrs. old now and for the past 40 yrs. lived in the Arizona deserts outside of Phoenix. I was born in Cleveland, Ohio and brought up in the suburbs with swatches of wooden lands. 12 months out of each year I played in those wooded areas pretending to be a hunter, mountain man or soldier. Watching your channel brings me back to my childhood experiences and memories! 2016 I had at least 6 strokes that left me with a weak left side of my body, no vision on my left side and a short term memory. Watching your episodes have brought back all those memories. Most of what do I remember doing , on my own, but with much different materials and no tools except maybe a home made knife and hatchet which I had to hide from my parents and brothers and sister. I learned how to track animals and my friends through the woods, how to make shelters and how to hunt( even before I was in my 20's and on my own and able to buy a bow and shot gun. I like your different shelter making videos. Some I remembered I had made but with other materials. I did have string and some wire to work with. The woods supplied the rest. Around where I lived the water table was high so if you dug down 2 1/2 foot or three foot you wood have a hole full of water by morning. But lean-to's and A-frame, teepee and wikky-ups were the norm. I learned tracking and stealth movement in dry, wet, rainy and snowing woodlands. SORRY! ..I got carried away here. Please keep making your videos!! They are great and informative!! So many can learn from your info and get out and enjoy and or survive in the outdoors! THANK YOU SIR!!!

Thanks for showing the knots and how you transition between the three.

Leaving in two weeks for shawnee national forest for some primitive camping. Can't wait

Thanks for putting knot tutorials in your videos! You're awesome.

Truly appreciate your straightforward approach to everything. No bull, all teaching.

That skillet looked soooo good.... No corporal video is complete without melted cheese and bacon 😁

Thanks for showing uses of the trash bags. I’ve started to add them to my emergency supplies because of your vids. I was surprised to not see you use toggles on those finely crafted corner grommets 😮 PS- you might get tired of it, but thanks for demonstrating the knots again 😊 many of us watch to learn.

If people are talking behind your back that means your in front of them Kepp it up, I always learn something when watching the videos

Thank you again for a very educational video. It’s really important to hear why you do what you do Your videos are highly educational as well as fun to watch. I’ll tell you what my parents said to me is don’t worry about what other people do or say worry about what you do. You are incredibly talented. Cream always rises to the top. Thank you, until next week.

People underestimate the versatility of the common trash bag

Another outstanding AF build from the bucket list corporal. This is some list. You should produce your own line of drum liners, versatile, strong, and good quality. The corporal liner, lives up to its name and can be used for anything! That fishing hook idea was brilliant. Roll on the next video.

Keep doing what you are doing, Shawn. I love your outside the box thinking and your willingness to try new things.

Each week I look forward to another session of CPL Kelly. Great content as usual. And any time I have a question or fill the gap I reach back to older videos. Thanks for keeping with it, tons of hard work!

Just wanted to say thank you for the content you produce!

Smart man! Not feeding into the negative war. Loved the video and learned a use for those thorns😅😂😅

Okay, that short lesson on the marlinespike hitch being the foundation of three different knots was golden. I always thought of them as separate knots before. It is those simple little eye-opening tips and tricks that make your stuff really enjoyable. Thanks.

The Honey Locust thorn hook reminded me of a book I loved as a kid titled My Side of The Mountain.

Totally love the knot break down. That helps ❣❤🐺❤

Thanks for your insights. This senior citizen enjoys watching your videos. You are a great teacher… my career for over 40 yrs! ✅

I completely agree that 'that other person' deserves no more attention now that you've had your say. It's like eating a family dinner -- finish eating, excuse yourself, walk away from the table. Over, done, and out. Now, that trash bag tarp was excellent. Watching your videos has forced me to once again practice the adage of "Improvise, adapt, overcome." I once did something similar with plastic drop-cloths. I believe you've also used something similar. It's nice because they are larger, and you can double them up if you need more strength. Your time and effort in bringing us these outstanding videos is always much appreciated. Have a great week. Semper Fi!

Wouldn't be a Sunday without an overnighter with the Corporal! Good stuff!

Efficient and Simplistic... Arguably one of my favorites thus far... Props and Thanks, Cpl Kelly... #DutyHonorCountry 🇺🇸

Real good Corporal. Good knots, primitive fishing, advanced hobo shelter, and a nice Spamtember meal. Thanks and take care.

You have wise words, sir! And... thank you for being a doer and not a talker.

Bacon, those little potatoes, Corporal’s Corner and NFL Sunday! Life is good 👍🏾

As I've watched the kids I teach, I see the similarity....in you created something out of nowhere. In your mind, then put it to work. Amazing mental exercise and execution!!

I'm 73 brother ... And I've learned that sometimes it's better just too move on and stick to what you know and do BEST!! 😊🙃. What you do in your videos is invaluable to most of us that watch. The caca is getting ready to hit the proverbial fan here. Some of us may end up without much and living in the woods. Keep teaching your survival stuff. Between you and Andrew, more of us will come out on top. God bless you and yours, and keep rockin'and rollin'. 🙃😊

Shawn, another intelligent and creative shelter design. Definitely the leader in bushcraft shelter designs on YT. Nobody else comes close.

after watching some of your videos . and how peaceful they seem i went to my family's lake just me and a one man tent and had the most peaceful time and will do it again . thanks

Great build. Love the way you keep it simple and explain it for the novice.

Now, with the bags intact, you could stuff dry grass etc...in it for insulation if needed. Great job!

I really enjoyed this one. I have learned and forgotten how to tie a bowline so many times, and I had no idea it was only one step beyond the marline spike hitch. I won't be forgetting again.

Not only do you keep it simple, you do very neat work and that is a trait of someone who gives a hoot !!! Keep up the excellent work sir : )

One of the many reasons I follow you, and I'd follow you to hell and back! You take the high road, correction, the high ground! Plus I'm truly learning something every time!!!! Thank you for being you! Loved the three knot comparison! plus the rest of the video! keep sweeping forward and thank you for bringing us along!!!!!

Excellent motivational speech at the end.

SO GLAD I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL

Appreciate your time and effort that you take for each video. I've garnered a lot of very useful information for where I live in Hawaii that can be applied here, from your tireless work ethics and commitment to the general public on RU-vid. Thank You and all the best in your endeavors.

Sunday is complete with the Corp!! Outstanding AF!!🇺🇲💪🇺🇲 God Bless America 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

I like the way you explain/demo your knots. I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I can learn. Thank you.

every time i watch you r videos your cooking make me hungry lol

I always appreciate your content and great videos. THANK YOU for showing how to do the 3 knots. I really love the affective simplicity you always show. Great job letting that other crap go. I don't even click or watch those things. I don't like empty rude bait. Enjoy your day.

Another chapter in duct tape and trash bag memories. I think you can make anything you set yourself too task, truly amazing.

Hey Shawn, enjoyed this video a lot, thank you. The shelter and the knots were very helpful. The closeup of tying the knots was very clear, well done. Outstanding overnighter so don’t stop what your doing. You are definitely a do er and that’s why your channel is a favorite of mine…🇺🇸

I still haven't been to his page and have no plans to. Keep on trucking Shawn.

Gonna have to try a trash bag bed. Great setup using trash bags and of course knowledge and skill. Keep those illustrations of knots coming please.

Thank you Corporal Corner for the best night's sleep of all times at my Elk archery camp using the trash bags raised bed on a tripod. 27 years pro hunting guide , I have used cots and hammocks but never again.

Great shelter. Very functional. This is where carrying a small roll of duct tape is never enough. Love the chow. Ficing to try for 100 days out with my bugout bag. Had to add medical, tp, and personal wipes. The equipment will stay the same. I have checked my gear, rechecked my gear and checked the recheck. Im good to go. Semper Fi. Charles

Hello Shawn. I was hoping you’d get a decent rainfall with perhaps a bit of wind to give that shelter a test, but alas, the timing of our weather never seems to cooperate! Thank you for the knot refresher. Fall is approaching, be nice to see you use that awesome watch tower to capture the wildlife and colors, as well. 👍👍👍 ~John

Awesome job with the honey locust and thanks for being honest about how long it actually took. People don't realize everything isn't an instant success.

Corporal, agreed, people that criticize without being constructive deserve neither you mention or your time. I forgot his name already. Thanks for another few minutes of time with you on a Sunday afternoon.

9/26/2022 Watching the knot tieing reminded me that I had a good year in the woods/riverside. I had to buy a new 100 foot spool of #36 bank line, to pack away for next season. I'm old with bad lungs, so no more winter camping. I will go once more this October, then I will watch you camp ect., and be with you in spirit. Yeah, I've been doing this for 50 years, but that don't mean you haven't taught me some good stuff. Throw a stick in the fire this winter, and think of all us guys that wish we were with you.

Almost 1 mill !

you are a good man trying to teach some skills through videos. Do what you do best and don't let what anyone says or does stop or distract you. Keep up the good work.

I look forward to your videos every week I thoroughly enjoy what you do for us I'm too crippled up to do it myself but I love watching what you do

Appreciate the knot knowledge. As a early '70's Girl Scout, we were only taught the square knot ... thanks!

Excellent video like always. Keep doing what you do. We will keep watching. As for the turd stealing don't worry. Karma. Law of attraction.

Awesome job with the drum liners! Cool as heck, catching fish on a gorge hook! Another great video!!!!

Outstanding, as usual! Thank you, sir.

Keep doing! I loved your improvised tent out of 55 gallon drum liners. Good skills reminder with the marlin spike hitch at the center. I think the cheap grey tape was inspired. It photographed much better than the standard black Gorilla tape would have.

Kelly, thank you for this week’s post. Staying with the basics (practicing them with different media) and keeping it simple is what keeps me coming back. I really liked the choice of retaining the drum liner’s configuration, while using them for a tarp - great example of thinking outside and ahead of the box. Nice hook demo, another example of situational awareness and resources on hand meets need. Nice on the fly dinner. A great and cheap retake on previous dishes. Hobo rocks! I don’t know much about the matter to discussed at the end. It ain’t really my business. I will say this; that you took the time to prudently and considerately put an end to whatever it was publically and kindly is what I know to be effective deck plate leadership of the first order. Well done! Looking forward to the next one. Cheers

Me and my kids love watching your content. I got them hooked on your channel now lol its our daily night cap. Keep the content coming.

No matter how bad it gets, you can still take the trash out. 😃 My favorite night of all in the outdoors was when a big storm came in, and delivered water drops thru my tent and on to my bag in 55 degree weather. Then 2 skunks decided to sniff around the base of my tent for an hour or two. Not much sleep that night. Then we biked another 25 miles.....

Starting to see some of your older videos pop up on my feed, maybe things are looking up?

You need to make a cook book.

This is a perfect example of adapting an item to suit your needs: using garbage bags for a shellter! I agree, keeping the bags intact for future use is better. And this is exactly why I (we) follow and support you Shawn! #Improvise #Adapt #Overcome #Less_Drama

I like your idea of the trash bags tent it's good to know in a survival emergency. 👍

Awesome as always. Thanks for sharing!

Another outstanding vid keep them coming love these always an interesting watch 👍👊

You done a great job putting all three knots together for us in this video and showing there uses. It's incredible how good that overhand knot is for making the practicality of the jam knot to be effective. Such an easy but vital step to finish a superb knot :)

That's right I always use the K.I.S.S principal ... awesome build brother

" I choose to live by choice, not chance: To be motivated, not manipulated; To be useful, not used; To make changes, not excuses; To excel, not compete. I choose self-esteem, not self-pity. I choose to listen to my inner voice, and never to the random opinions of others." As always a great video ! Semper Fi DevilDoc8404

For cold weather: Keeping the bags intact, you could stuff them with leaves/pine straw for an insulated cover. Tape together, then cut a 3"-4" slit at the top of each pocket to add the insulation.

Thank you again. I will always watch your videos again. I enjoy them and always learn something new.

I try to always watch Corporals Corner as soon as I get notified. I enjoy learning what you share and has come in handy when building campsite with grandson. I think you are wise in letting go of the fake. You keep it real for your subscribers, THANK YOU Corporal!!

A weekLate with watching this one due to work commitments.... outstanding AF as always corporal. Hello from the UK 🇬🇧

Hey Corporal, I'm new to your channel and I just want to let you know that I like your video's and I like your style of presenting them. It doesn't matter to me how or what you are doing, I learn a lot of stuff by watching your video's. You have a lot of cool little tricks that I want to try myself. Anyway, great video. Keep on doing what you do. Take care.

I'm always a day late and a dollar short and just got to watch this video. No clue what's going on with whoever but I've learned so much from your videos and I always hang out for your final thoughts. You have made me feel a lot more calm about being in the woods which is literally where I live so thank you for that!! My pack now has basic survival in mind and I'm much less afraid of being lost, stuck or stranded !!

...I turned off notifications for most of the channels I'm subscribed to, however ............ Corporal's Corners notifications Stays ON....This channel is OUTSTANDING!...👍

Nice set up and catching the fish was cool. Take care and stay safe.

As always another fantastic overnight video you're always seen to surprise surprise on what you can do from your bucket this or anything else you pitch your mind tune two thumbs up to you from Anthony from down under Australia thank you once again mate

Been loving the DIY/Improvised stuff lately. I'm doing a 3 day overnight trip with some friends in a couple weeks and we are trying no premade tents/shelters, so I'm getting some good inspiration.

I loved this video. It was the PERFECT combination of building, explaining, easily digestible lessons, entertainment, and Corporal. Keep it up!

I like the little talks you have with us so we are on the same page. You earned your tags

I gotta tell you man I love your videos like 2 years ago you made this video on how to start a fire with even wet small sticks medium ones with your /\ method. I’ve been doing that ever since and it has never ever once let me down im talkin at least 100 fires

I started watching CC 4 weeks ago and completed my first two solo trips. Tomorrow I go for two nights for my third. I love it!

So when is the Corporal's Bushcraft cookbook coming out?

That's neat that your using the biker tracker knife, as I also have one an find it to be damn near perfect for most of my outdoor use.

Love that you took the time to prove your theory and the honesty with how the experiment worked out. As usual another great idea for a video and that food looked good too. My favorite hobo meal from childhood was baked beans with hot dogs over rice, cheap easy and good.

This man is a machine! Every. Damn. Week. People. And I will watch every week. Thanks Corp.

This is almost creepy. Made a comment yesterday that I would like to see a video just like this one! You are not only an expert bush crafter, but evidently a mind reader! Keep up the great content, and “Keep up the Fire!”

Cool garbage bag tent., who needs expensive camping gear with you to show us the way., Semper Fi 🇺🇸.!!!

I love it when I see these bushcraft tutorials! I never tire of them. I need to get out and use them, though.

Very accurate and meaning message at the end. So many of our population are watchers wisher when truly all they have to do is get off their butts and head into the wild places to enjoy nature or what ever they wish they could do. Jim Rodgers

Great content as usual Corporal! I know it’s been slow moving, but we’re finally almost at that 1 Million subs! Keep up the great work! 👊🏽❤️🍺🍺🍻

Outstanding!

Great segment on the marlins spike hitch as the basis for a bowline and arbor knot!

That is the bet way I've seen to tie a bowline. Well done!!

Corporal you are my diets nemesis
