Awesome AF You keep coming back every 4-6 weeks, improving and expanding, by winter you’ll have the ultimate shelter. Future add-ons: root cellar, fireplace... with your creativity, possibilities are endless! Keep on keeping on!

I'm an old lady and been around for decades and decades oh my gosh even over half a century and more decades. Make a long story short I'm old! I've always assumed there would be a time in the evolution of this country that survival skills would be required. Over all those decades I just didn't think it would be in my time. Now for some reason I'm compelled to brush up on my survival skills??? Thank you so much for your videos! PS another one of my compulsions is heading straight for the kitchen after I watch your videos! 😋

This Marine is not afraid of hard work.....and his creativity is amazing!

I was just at my local army/navy surplus yesterday. They get new stuff in every Saturday, so I like to stop by and see what’s new. They had plenty of sandbags there, but the chinsy plastic tarp like material ones, not the good cloth ones. $3.99 each. I almost crapped myself. We used to be able to get these for pennies on the dollar for a bundle of 10 or 12. We have to stop gauging each other to kingdom come, I mean for Christ’s sake. Cmon people. Another great one Corporal, thanks.

How could anyone leave a dislike on this??

I am a 26 year Navy vet.......I follow your vids.......this one was a lot of work....but it is outstanding.....Thankx

Commenting and liking video because this channel deserves it. Nobody putting in the effort week after week like the Corporal does!

not even as much as a PPV sports show and way more entertaining! Thanks

I seem to recall a spy satellite image of a burger stand on the ho chi Minh trail that's faintly reminiscent of this shelter. Outstanding!🇺🇸

A military style bunker on Memorial Day weekend 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. It doesn't get any better! OUTSTANDING AS ALWAYS!! RANGERS LEAD THE WAY 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Happy Memorial Day to all the Veterans out there and thankyou for your service and all the sacrifices you've made for our country.

Hello from Australia. Just want to say that I do a little tiny bit of bush craft myself but watching your videos on building these shelters has given me inspiration to do similar things and go to the next level here in Queensland. Will you ever do a break down step by step to building these shelters and explain the knots your using etc. You are my favourite bushcrafter on RU-vid and I think those that trash talk you are simply jealous of you and are very petty people. I hope you keep going strong an solider on.

Wow! That's not a shelter, it's a Bushcraft HQ! Outstanding AF.....now serving bacon & kielbasa, with a side of bacon!

Every time I think that one is my favorite you come up with something even better. I look forward to your videos every single week.

One of my favorite books in the 5th grade was " My Side of the Mountain ". I have a feeling you've read this. It's totally a great book for middle school kids.

I'm almost 85 and enjoy these shows more than all the others I've seen because he explains what he's doing, why, and how with visuals ALL of which I understand. The big plus is seeing the finished Work and how complete it will do the job extended. Please keep it up. Brings me joy.

Thank you for your service.

Really awesome concept and execution. As a side note, I appreciate you giving credit to those you get ideas from. Too many RU-vidrs try to act as if they thought up everything ever created. Again, as was previously stated in the video, "Outstanding A.F."!

This one was truly amazing! I really look forward to your posts on Sunday's and thank you so much for this one. Also you being a veteran I think this weekend it is appropriate to thank you for your service as I am sure you are thinking of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.. You started the fire a different way too! The additional wood fuel was elevated so it would naturally climb..... Yup..... I noticed. HAHAHA. Have a great weekend and thanks!

Thanks Great Bush craft video. YOU MUST BE THE hardest working bush craft guy on utube and I for one appreciate it.

Another great video and want to thank you for your service!

Brother I appreciate you and have nothing but respect for you. My granddaughter comes over every Sunday to watch your video. She calls you builder man. Tells me we can do that. She is 3yrs. So far we have built 2.

Your cardio must be top notch! This has to be my favorite in gound shelter so far. As always, Badass AF!

That was a slick candle holder.

I really enjoy these videos thanks cc from former army guy

Oustanding AF best shelter yet. With bacon.

Really awesome shelter. Amazing how much work you put in one video.

I learned so much from this video, thank you! I think this one's my favorite. Not only is it a kick ass design, but the building process makes perfect sense and doesn't require the skill of a woodland elf to construct. That candle holder design, I'll never forget that, ingenious AF.

He’s the best way to start your morning

Bacon wrapped, cheese stuffed, Kielbasa was simply brilliant after 15 hours of hard physical labor.

Now that's a Bad A$$ shelter! Kinda brings back memories..... Semper Fi 🦅🌎⚓🇺🇸

I've been watching your channel for a long time, Sir. Very informative, and I love the fact that you still show how to do the knots, even after you've already done the videos on the knots specifically, you still show that. I passed your channel onto my brother, because we go camping once a year, and I've been trying to incorporate some bushcraft into our camp set up.

The DevilDog INN! 5 star accommodations for the U.S. Marine! Outstanding AF..... Coffee and Bacon served daily! It just needs a little bulldog running around as security. Semper Fi from an Army guy! Outstanding job keeping it interesting Corporal!!!

Never thought I will see the day that someone would create a sandbag bunker for outdoor recreational purposes. Memories of instructors kicking over stacked sandbags in our GPMG pit screaming they are not stacked properly just like what you said. From one Corporal to another, cheers!

In honor of memorial day the sand bag bunker in the woods! Badassery at its finest! Thank you for your serivce both in the field and on youtube!

All good! Especially good were the (1) The Support Bean to keep the roof from collapsing, (2) The Window being able to hinge and (3) The String that angled from lower left to upper right to keep the door level and not have to drag the door shut. Keep up the good work.

Sandbags, Excellent!! Going to have to redo one of mine with this!

By far the best build in months. Although the window seems too big. It should only be enough to stick out the barrel and aim precisely. Keep it goin'.

As a 70 year old man I can imagine the amount of physical effort required to build something like this fortress of solitude. And it's very impressive. Thinking of you and your comrades on this Memorial Day.

I served as an Army Airborne Ranger in Vietnam for 1969 - 1972. Whenever I was not on a mission and was back in the rear for stand down, my home sweet home was a sand bag hooch. Can't say that these were the good old days but are still remembered.

I "Dig" this build! Flashbacks to filling hundreds of sandbags! Thanks for all your hard work to bring us knowledge and entertainment!

Now this is what I expect from a Devil Dog.

What a shelter building BEAST! You are the most creative 'beyond bush crafter' on the internet!! Thanks! Always enjoy your 'out of the box' ideas!

Another rewatch keeps getting better!

Words cannot describe how awesome of a build this is but... let’s just say it’s absolutely outstanding.

Corporal's corner is awesome, but I'm waiting for Corporal's cookbook to drop!

Your re worked shelter reminds me of the 2- man dog house bunkers we had in Vietnam on FSB Katherine 50 yrs. ago. We dug the hole and a chinook carried a heavy engineer beam frame that they would drop into the hole. Then we then we would. Just close it in and sandbag the heck out of it. And that was our home all that summer 50 years ago in the 101st ABN. DIV. You do great videos. Best of luck Corp from an old blue leg sergeant.

You inspired me to dig a fighting hole in my backyard! thanks!

Now that’s an everlasting shelter AF .

I continue to be amazed at these shelters. Already shared on FB.

Chalk up a win, I started watching this video and my 4yo son heard it. He stopped watching his cartoons and came over and watched it with me. We both enjoy your videos keep up the great work.

Nobody can compare to you. Don't worry about the other u tubers. Only other good ones to watch is Dave Canterbury and Gray Bearded Green Beret. That is such an awrsome shelter dude. Be proud. You have your true followers that admire and love you. Forget about the other Starbucks wannabe outdoorsman. You are the man.

You cheer me up so much l really appreciate your videos

How in the world do you dream all this up.... Outstanding AF. Where did you get the burlap bags from??? A Feed Store???

Repurposed & still an all day build. Phenomenal work! Excellent video!

Hands down favorite build

Outstanding build Kelly! Once again, the hardest working RU-vidr working for us...love it! For added "civilian" protection from the sun I'd add a cammo net over the whole thing. I did see David and Salty the other day making these Howlers and thought of you...heh.

hardest working dude on youtube. AWESOME build

Thank you for another awesome video. My 14 year old did his first solo overnight with a hammock and tarp shelter. He was able to build his own fire from making a birds nest that we learned watching you. Fire was covered so when the down pour came he was still able to have fire in the morning and he stayed dry. Thank you for making it so simple a father and his sons can practice these skills.

Candle Holder. What can I say. Pure genius. Simply amazing

Just something I learned from earthbag construction; if you staple down 2 rows of barbed wire between courses of the running bond, the wall will be even more sturdy. Probably wouldn’t have that available in the wilderness, but would be handy if you’re making a long term camp. I learn so much from your channel. It both teaches me and makes me think. Thank you!

Outstanding as usual! Don't listen to the "back seat drivers" ;)

Perfect for a long term remote hunting shelter. Looks to me like it wouldn’t need to be rebuilt every year which is nice to limit one’s activity in the area. Temperature regulation by the underground build is phenomenal as well.

I'm stuck in a hospital bed watching her videos so really excites me when they do things that I think about all the time I want to teach my son's how to do exactly this thank you so much for reinforcing what I my Plans for the future training of my boys... they're only Ten 'n' Seven...you probably know that the Chair Force is known for planing out everything...

The best shelter before you hear "Товарищ, тут понадобится крупнокалиберный пулемёт!" Nice! Good job! 👍

I like how you come up with ideas that are able to repurpose older builds. Good veristiliy and creative thinking.

Absolutely love the candle, that's the stuff I love to see, sandbag shelter brings back great memories of my army days. Great video sir and happy memorial day.

I like the way you explain what you are doing and why. Many of the bushcraft videos don't do this. Thanks. I like your video and it's very useful knowledge.

Consistently killing it week after week. Love these builds.

Who dares to give this video a thumbs down? JEALOUS!!? This man is capable of awesome survival skills!? He’s one of the BEST!!

Hardest working guy on RU-vid

Great idea for my back 10 hillside acres. Only taller so can stand at least one of them. Multiple use as well! Love the knot teaching. Keep it up. Tysm

I have the upmost respect for all the work you do to educate people on survival skills. Its not easy but you make it look easy. Thanks alot!! 🇺🇸💯

Hi. The video is very interesting, I am also doing the journey of living in the forest, hunting, cooking, growing vegetables ... hope to bring everyone moments of relaxation and entertainment.

This build immediately made me think WW2 Japanese bunker👍

W O W, Very nice sandbag shelter. Very impressive ! ...Alan in 🇨🇱

Oh, man, this one really hits home for a couple reasons. First: dear god, the suck encompassed in this video. Digging and filling sandbags in heat and humidity with still air... oof. Second: The death dog! There was a place I used to go to and get those, just on buns. Place burned down from a grease fire, because of course it did. But dear holy god, what a tasty thing a kielbasa fried with cheese and bacon is. Great vid. Oh, and props again for reusing sites and materials, because that's just being sensible.

I loved this one. It reminded me of a "bunker" I dug when I was about 13. We put logs across and made the roof out of plywood scraps and then buried them, and buried an old barrel stove in one end. It was about 10'x5' It made it through a few nights before the sandy earth dried out so much from the stove that it started collapsing in on itself. Ah, a 13 year old's engineering failures and waking up with the roof caving in and having to dig ourselves out. Fun times, and this video brought back great 30 year old memories. Thanks Cpl!

I noticed that one day I had Corporal’s Corner playlists going on the TV, a computer, and my iPhone. Hope you were feeling the love, brother.

This is the 3rd time I've watched this video. It has given me some great ideas. I have got to build one for myself as a permanent, year round get a way camp. I have had people ask me to teach them some survival and bush craft stuff. First thing I do is tell them to watch your videos and a couple other guys videos of course. But I always want them to watch your's to actually see what some of this stuff takes. I'm always trying to send people your way.

I dunno about anyone else. But, when I saw this shelter, I was waiting for Charlie Sheen and Willam Dafoe to come out a la Platoon.😎…. and then the Cpl. mentions Sheen. Great stuff, as usual.

Welcome to Corporal’s Corner Real Estate: we specialize in affordable housing and rural redevelopment.

Great video. Reading some of the comments, some ask what's the point. One even said he tried to get his kids involved in making some of your shelters. Well, if parents would take more interest in their kids, by getting them involved in projects of this nature, I think there would be less problems with them. These videos show just what an imagination and hard work can do. I was involved in boy scouts for years, and I didn't learn half the things I have learned here. Parents; single moms; single fathers; take your child's cell phone, computer games and videos, and get them outdoors! Teach your children how to be self sufficient - No one else will!! There will come a day when they will thank you for preparing them... No Child Left Behind...

Cpl.kelly,I love your sandbag shelter that you built a year ago,outstanding af cpl.kelly

Interesting shelter. It could easily be expanded some to make a winter shelter with a fireplace and a little more room. Nice job. Excellent video as usual. Can’t wait for see what other ideas you come up with.

...do you ever find that Copperheads, etc. have taken up residence in your old shelters when you revisit them?....

There’s that bacon 🥓 🥶🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

Man I would love to see this one revisited to make a long-term winter shelter. Mud the walls over to camo it some and insulate it even more and build the clay rocket stove into the side for cooking and heating the inside that would be awesome

My heart is bad, weak... I can't do what you do, but I enjoy watching you do it, especially with a bowlen knot, and water repellent bags of dirt. Exceptionally fine video.

Bring a roll of fabric mosquito net and frame it out to make screen doors and windows. Lightweight, foldable, and perfect for your woodland summer shelters. 🤣

Corporal, this is now the fourth time I'm watching this video. Your attention to detail and craftsmanship has no match. I really enjoy the parts when you explain what you are doing, and why.

Ingenuity. You don't walk away from a challenge. Our young men could learn from you. I like your menus.

Bad ass AF! Best build yet.

You are a good teacher, a good man, a tough old marine this Navy veteran respects you! I've learned a ton of practical wisdom and knowledge! Thank you Corporal Kelly!

You have outdone yourself again! Looking at some online information your channel is listed as “educational” and most all other bush craft channels are listed as entertainment. For me, I’ll take the education you deliver every week over “entertainment” on other channels.

An impressive build. You always go the extra mile. I appreciate the level of detail and explanation. This is one of my favorites.

Awesome!! I think it would be cool if you did a vid on a solo overnight with only your y-harness and what you can carry in it.

A bomb proof bushcraft shelter, gotta love it. You worked hard and hit a major shelter. Outstanding as AF. Thanks

It's a shelter but a defensible position.. This is great! I'm so hooked on this content right now. I'm hoping to find more on the portability of the pots and pans.... The candle stick trick was pretty clever! Great job as always.
