Ppl need to stop crying and pay the membership if they don’t want to see commercials keep up the great work

Man the drinking cheap coffee in the morning while sitting on the logs. Bliss!!! I'm living vicariously.

Cpl Kelly. Ive been having a crappy few days man to where hope seemed to be slipping away for me. Seeing your upload put an instant smile on my face. Especially you hanging from the ridgepole. I need to step back and remember to appreciate all the little things. Semper Fi brother. Thank you for being you.

Thank you for sticking it out, & changing it up. And I love your 'tincture' addition!!

Fantastic! I’ve been showing these videos to my kids and then taking them out to the mountains and woods and building camps like this,thank you so much for all the work you do

Great video, the campire and food part in your videos is my favorite. We get to see your finished creation, the fire, and some good food/cooking process 😎

God bless you and your family and God bless the USA. Praying for you.

Outstanding AF video as long as you keep posting videos I will keep watching them . Your videos make my sunday complete

Another top video, and I don't care if there's commercials well worth watching them to keep watching your videos.

I particularly like the practical way you demonstrate woodcraft (living) skills. being a purist and doing everything as if 200 years ago my be interesting but I'd rather know that I could throw a few thing in a bag and survive with the things available to me now. Thanks for the interesting way you present your skills.

Only had four commercial’s, less than usual. But this was quick, because you sped up the wrapping technique, that helped out on time. Most of the live are like 15 min intervals with a commercial in the middle like the Dallas Cowboys after game. But sending comments should be enough, don’t worry about the program, people want to see something different they’ll watch you! I saw two videos of yours coming out, doing great!

I cannot get over my bewilderment of people who complain about you posting about the same video. I see them, and the posts are literally on my screen for just a few seconds as I scroll past (because I've already seen the video of course). I mean what is the state of a persons life who uses time and energy to condemn you or any other channel for that. You're providing great knowledge and entertainment to us FOR FREE, so post away because you deserve every view. Sorry this turned into a real rant... The car looks great by the way :D

Like the red truck with chamois interior. Like canvas over drum liners. Good stuff, Kelly!

Your knives and chopping tools always seem incredibly sharp. Could you do an in-the-field sharpening demonstration in an upcoming video? I’d be interested in seeing your technique. Thanks for the video. Always looking forward to the next one.

A suggestion for a live video: q & a around the campfire in the evening of a solo overnighter. Might work. Also, I really like this idea. It would be good in a high bear area or swampy area. Thanks for continually inspiring me to get out and have fun.

I really enjoyed this one. It seems a lot more simple than some of the other builds, but you threw it together like it was nothing. I think you spend too much time in the woods. Wait, nevermind, impossible to do that! Outstanding af!

Personally, I really dig your overland videos. Don’t get me wrong, all your videos are top notch, but as somebody who does a lot of rock crawling with my K5, this is right up my alley.

Keep doing what you are doing! I have RU-vid premium just so I can watch videos like yours without interruption. You make that extra cost more than worth it.your positive attitude, discipline, humor, and wise experience need to be heard by a wide audience!

Don't give up keep a good attitude .I'm 69 and I enjoy watching and even putting some of your ideas in use and like you I'm old army as your old marine like I always told my troops work smarter not harder . I'll be looking for more from you

We may be watching too much CC... Husband and I were working on a project when he caught me saying, "here's what I'm thinkin" 😂

I love and appreciate the consistent content Corporal. I understand your struggles with the RU-vid algorithm and because of that I like every video of yours (a rarity for me) and turned on all notifications for your channel in an effort to let both RU-vid and yourself know how much I enjoy the quality content you put out for all of us. You are currently sitting at #1 on my list of favorite content creators / instructors. Thank you again Corporal. Please keep up the superb work🤝

🤣 Love the Al Bundy pose 🤣 Once again great build, most informative channel out there! Also, a couple videos back you built a bed off the ground using the step rail on your truck. Awesome! Im ashamed to say ive never thought of that, you have opened my eyes to a whole new camping / survival option. Keep up the great work. GOD BLESS!

I’m a subscriber that gets to watch free cool af video from you once a week! I don’t pay you a cent and get informative and entertaining content. I take the time to comment and watch all the way through. DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO TO KEEP THIS FULL TIME! If that means you have to put ads in there to keep yourself and your son supported, that’s cool. I will still watch. I’m not a paying member to your channel so do what you got to do. Thank you!

How do people dislike this ?

I have a Honda Pilot, so I love this one! This will be perfect in those didn't bring the tent situations. Thanks for sharing this with us. + jalapeno poppers! :)

Bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers… that is Corporal AF !!

What You Tube does is not your fault. Keep on doing your best. We all appreciate your efforts. Thanks for taking us along with you.

You was at the top of my feed today .. a booster for your income would be “Corporal’s Cookbook” we all have been waiting on .. I personally appreciate the content and skills you so freely share every week with us . Thank you for all you do to make that happen !

I watch your video's every Sunday, never miss it and always get your video updates...

Sumac. It grows outback. Thanks for the idea and the video.

For the next video with the truck, you could use one of those silver windshield bubble reflectors instead of the thermarest for sleeping pad, or even floor mats… Use battery terminals to spark an ember for fire, Use Tire for your bunk similar to your running board, but lashing beams on both sides of the tire before the apex so the don’t fall to the ground. Tire iron (kind with the pry bar end) to split wood… Just some fun ideas using the 🚘

Thanks!

Its Sunday again. Corporals corner day. Been waiting since last week. This is another great build. A lot of hard work. Thanks fro inspiring me to do these things. Thanks for all your dedication and hard work.

One of the high points of my Sunday's are Corporal's videos. For what it's worth, your new videos are always at the top of my feed when you post them.

Your such an inspiration bro!!!!, I've learned so much from you, and have so much more to learn, you're videos make my day with every single video, please don't stop making content, god bless man, and best wishes!!!

I could enjoy having this build as my base camp. Extend the tarp as you said, use the idea from an older video, to keep the rain off the fire. Another stunning build. Thank you Shawn 😊💫

Thank you Corporal for all that you do. You got me in the woods as my release and are making me a better man for my wife and son. I don't no if I would have ever done this if you weren't such a encouragement. Thank you.

I ordered my son the PKS Knife from your store, he is very excited about getting it. Both of us watch your videos every week, keep them coming!

Shawn, I'm so sorry for all of the headaches you've had from the corporate machine that is RU-vid. i see you busting your ass week after week to bring top rate entertaining yet educational content to this platform. God Bless you for all your hard work and your first rate videoa. you've recommended a lot of great channels over the last couple years and I've subscribed to most of them but yours is the only channel feom which i eagerly wait for each new video. many thanks for all that you do.

I can't take this much longer. The city is killing me slowly, from the inside-out. I'm mentally breaking down with the daily almost hourly bombardment of drive by and drive along freeway shootings and the senseless killings of innocent children, the "gang issues" between the #WestSide and the #EastSide, the killing of Women and Children by men who've completely lost reality in daily life let alone survival without Government Assistance. Don't get me wrong here. I too am "disabled" and I am now forced to slow down. In many ways. Usually just so I don't fall down from tripping due to me being an R-BTK Amputee from a hereditary Blood Clotting factor. So yes I collect my check from Social Security. $hit...I paid into it so why tf not. After all those years of paying into it, I'm now FORCED into retirement so to speak. This is where You come into this picture Bro. You Are Teaching Me A Few Things That I Believe Are Necessary For Anyone With 1/2 Of A Working Brain. With the way $hit's happening in this Country, the Divided States Of America will implode into Civil War 2 if we the people do not stand up for ourselves soon. Liberties are being taken from us daily by those sitting on their @$$ making "laws" that Politically Funnel Funding in certain Stock Holders direction(s) thus keeping the rich-rich, the poor even poorer and is otw to completely destroying what we now know as "The Middle Class" giving The Government Even More Control Of Those Whom Cannot Take Care Of Themselves. Well, I'm not going out like this. I'm not standing in some F.E.M.A. soup-line for my daily 3 meal food ration of Protean Gel.Block(s) of unknown Government sourcing, and living in some F.E.M.A. Controlled Area Of Internment. Phuk no. I've been saving pennies, and I've started buying cutting tools from the top of the list down to the cheapest. Yeah. Even a good Axe isn't cheap is it ! Lol :) But my closet is almost on jam with stacks of labeled crates stuffed with everything from this pretty cool little pocket sized 8" Four In One Wood File, to shoe polish tins of charred cotton, cotton balls in petroleum jelly, birch shavings pre shredded, ferro rod(s), a modified Collins Axe, with the head angel ground for multi purpose usage like say, a Splitting Wedge or... My divorce is final, the House is mine but I'm leaving it to her and I'll soon be taking my 4 Pit Bulls, trading in my 4 door car for a AWD Chevrolet or GMC 1500 Full Size Van, coming back and loading it up, and I'm headed south. Most likely Tennessee. Maybe Virginia. I don't know yet and tbth I really don't give af at this point. I lived in Tennessee for 10 years then came back to Detroit, Michigan a couple of years back only to be let down so bad by the condition of this $hithole of what is pathetically called a "State" and how the people here now treat one another. It's disgusting. Grizzly Adams had it right and so do you. Oh, and before I forget, keep dragging your son out there. It'll keep him away from the Government Propaganda on COVID-19 being mandatory before you can buy, sell or trade anything for anything "legally" without their "LIQUID R.F.I.D.CHIPPING / POPULATION CONTROL" ie Vaccine lie. I've started my solar lighting and recharging project. This isn't cheap. Morse Code is proving to be fun to use. The Uniden side-band C.B. rocks. Next... I think learning "Smoke Signaling" is in the works. The semi-permanent Base Camp is a really good idea as long as no one else can trail you to it. That'll be a hard trail to cover if used too many times, which is why I now ask if this is your only semi-permanent base camp, or do you have others, as I plan on having once I get back to the Mountains ? Well, I'm sure you're scratching your head and wondering wtf is going on in my head...but just know that you are helping me and many many others with some #OutstandingBushcraft in these videos, and the postings in Instagram as well. I've got the links saved, you'll soon be seeing my name on a few items to be shipped to my current address, and then after that, Morse code on downturned tin cans nailed to trees ? Smoke signals ? Satellite Phones ?? Take care and keep up the good work. With all due respect and adoration for your skills, Mr. T.C. Cross

Love the video!!!!! Love all your videos!!!!! Keep doing it your way. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

How about a porch swing in the woods with a back that folds down and turns into a bed

Been watching your content for I’m guessing about a year or so. I have learned/relearned a LOT. As a former Marine, I really appreciate the format and style of your vids. I too wore the old woodlands 😉. So, I’ll keep watching and learning old skills and new ones. Keep up the outstanding work. Semper Fi

We can help by just playing the recommended playlist in the background either at work or at home. Play a video and make sure autoplay on, it's that simple. I do it at work and don't even watch the videos but I know their playing in the background. 10 hours later, no sweat. GREAT JOB AS ALWAYS CORP!!!

Yes, the bacon is back!! I look forward to these every Sunday.

Awesome video!!! Corporals corner NEVER disappoints!!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE AL BUNDY REFERENCE AT THE END!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Man that brought back some good memories!

Man, I just enjoy hanging with the Corporal. Don't need anything fancy. Don't need a dog and pony show. You do you, because that's good enough.

Hey Brother, I just want to say that I am extremely happy for you and the success of your channel. I never comment because I am watching your video's on my TV 99% of the time and I am not able to comment. Saying that, I remember when you first started YT and your Video's have only gotten better and better as time passes. I believe I have watched every video you have made and released. I have to say, your knot tying skills are very impressive, and your ability to create awesome and unique shelters is as impressive as your knot tying skills. I have noticed that you do a lot of solo camping, but one topic I don't believe you have ever talked about or discussed in your videos is your security plan. How you choice where to go, and if you set up stuff to let you know ahead of time if someone is coming in your area of operation or not. I only wonder about this because of the Missing 411 topic's. Most people in America don't know that over 4000 people go missing in the woods each year. Some are lost, and perish, others may have encounters with beasts either 4 legged or 2 legged. Either way, that is a lot of people. is this something you consider or do you dismiss it because of your size and capabilities? As a retired Marine, I am confident in my abilities to defend myself, but I also know I am not the badest mofo out there. I have just recently dropped about 20K into my 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 so I can start doing overlanding. And since I will be using my vehicle, I can carry more stuff. I am enjoying the overlanding, but I have yet to go on my own. So your ideas of security would be greatly appreciated if you decide to do a video on that. I am sorry that YT puts too many ads in your videos, I have a premium account so I don't get the ads. Just so you know, I would see about getting some sponsors. If you explain to people why you have to use them, people will understand. And that is a good way for you to make some extra money. Just a though Brother. I would also just like to thank you for all of your videos and again, I am extremely happy for you and your success, please keep on keeping on Brother. Semper Fi!

I just love watching you and learn how to be to make it in the woods.

As you were clearing the leaves from base camp I thought gee I miss the Ole Corporal Rake!

Sumac makes good tea and also a nice garnish on top of humus. In Arabic sumac is called, za'atar.

Super cool!!! Sumac cocktail 🍸 can't go wrong with bacon wrapped jalapeños!! I do them on the smoker all the time ! Another great video!!!!

Thanks!

Repetition of the structural elements has really helped me to learn these methods and the knots to assemble them. I'm not a fan of live feeds... the viewer comments are sometimes stupid and detract from your message. An organized Q&A session might be better.

I had to get to this on Tuesday because we were busy painting the kitchen... good show as usual. Deep frying stuff in the woods. Last time I tried to do anything with bacon around fire it all burnt up.

Somehow I missed this one when it was uploaded. Glad I go back and rewatch some of the older videos once in a while

Truck looks great another hard working overnighter well done sir⛺️👍☄️🥓🇺🇸🇺🇸

I’m Rhonda, in Kentucky. This has been my favorite show. U r so meticulous with everything u do. It is so good to watch. I love camping but never camped like u do. Thank u for sharing them. I will continue to follow u on here.

Okay, now you're living. When you have time to make cocktails you have the time to do anything. It's the same as having a hot cocoa for those that don't like alcohol. Thank you for reminding use about moral issues, they are important for extended stays or to improve difficult situations. Thanks again.

Love your videos man, i don't get to go out and camp very often due to my health, i have kidney disease, but your videos give me tons of ideas on what to do on my next trip to the great outdoors. Thanks Corporal

I like how you did the ladder!

Best part of waking up on Sunday is a new drop from Corporals Corner. Amazing af again sir!

AWESOME AF..Thanks Corporal! Your a Legend! Love all your videos! Gonna watch em all all the way through and ring that bell twice as much as I can. I have been learning my knots and lashings from your videos. You are an excellent teacher . Keep em Coming!

I love the videos just the way that they are. People just complain because their selfish and think the world revolves around them. I've learned a lot from you and at 43 I'm finally brave enough to sleep in the woods after watching your videos... Sincerely a black guy from the concrete jungles of Detroit! I'm a huge fan and I appreciate your service ✊🏿💪🏿

Not quite sure why I have never seen this one …. love the fire engine red Toyota…. Cool set up 😃 thanks for the tutorial

The sumac berry was/is used by several Native American tribes for its healing properties. Thanks for all you do!

Keep pushing the video every day if you need to. I look forward to your videos every week along with a few other people I know. Do what you gotta do. We want the best and that's why we look forward to Corporals Corner! God bless!

This build was excellent , I just love these kind of builds. The ride is looking good as well and for the food , like always, outstanding . How for that drink, got to try me some . Mr. Kelly your videos are my favorite to watch , I really, really enjoy them to the up most. I know it takes a lot of work to make these builds , I have done some . I appreciate your hard work and with that said , I wish I could appreciate all of that food you eat . It’s kinda hard to ,watching you eat it . It just makes me hungry 😆 until the next video, be safe and I’ll be looking for you next Sunday !

Them covers would have been outstanding if you had put your logo in them!!! Keep up the good work!!!

Sunday. The day I relive the mantra " Hurry up and wait." The Corporal doesn't arrive soon enough, but is never late. This is exactly what we have needed for our dissappear into a national forest adventure!

Another great video from Corporals Corner. I’ve been watching for 6 months and haven’t missed a Sunday since. Keep up with the overland camping theme. Also love the items you’ve been placing in the 4 Runner.

Came to watch this video and it said I didn’t have notifications set..... 🤬🤬🤬youtube is messing around! Good thing I look for your videos anyhow.... not relying on them. I look forward very much to watch your videos. That is one of the staples in my chaotic life❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Corporal, you are kicking ass and taking names!!! Keep it up!!

As always, Outstanding AF. Looking forward to seeing the choices you make regarding modifications and upgrades. This is artistry at its best there, Michelangelo. Form and function...using the Yin and Yang of Mother Nature. Love it, Brother. Oh...and about those posts and photos... Keep 'em coming...Fire for effect. They aren't disturbances to me, they're reminders of what is right in this world and Whiners will do what whiners do. F 'em. March On! Semper Fi!

Excellent, both truck and base camp,GOD BLESS😎

You made me so Hungary for bacon that went and bought some for twinge baked cheesy potato soup. You taught this old dog a few new tricks. Thank you for sharing .

I agree with J.P., love the Al Bundy hand in the waistband move. I’m definitely enjoying the addition of the overlanding aspect to the videos. It gives me a few ideas for my Jeep Cherokee Sport. I’ll be sharing in my Fb feed as always. Have a great week big guy.👍

I throughly enjoy learning from you! THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge and teaching others.

These other survival guys show you brand new shiny gear without a speck of dirt on it talking about how awesome it is and their hands are soft and clean. Corporals got very well worn tools and tore up working mans hands. Corporals the real deal. Semper Fi

That is legit one of the coolest shelters I've seen! Keep up the awesome work!

So I like the overlanding series, as it is more to the style of being outdoors that I do. Loving the idea for the Corporals Cocktail segment, as it is always nice to know how to add a little spice to the evenings in the wilderness. Also like seeing some new food styles, as sometimes easy food is great, and seeing you fry food in the bush pot was something different, bush crafting fondue tips. With the Toyota getting ready to tear up the backwoods, I saw the radio added, guessing something everyone is trying their hand at the moment. Seeing that made me wonder what you add to your gear since you have the ability to have the vehicle be your pack mule.

Is this your land, a friend's land, or a national park, or just some spot that you're sneaking on to? If it's in Texas, like the Sam Houston National Park, I can understand where I would be camping all over the place and probably getting away with it too.

Thank you for your service! I'm a bartender at the VFW in Polson, MT. If you ever find yourself up here I'll buy you a drink! Keep up the amazing work. Cheers 🍻

I just want to say that I enjoy pretty much everything you put out. Keep it up! 😊

Improvements on the truck are great. Love the seat covers. Campy set up, OUTSTANDING!

Is car one of the 10 c's

I have no problem bro, I'll be watching every new and old video. I'll let the commercials roll and not whine like a pansy, you deserve the help, so I got you

Mate, I don't know shit from Vegemite about running a channel, but sure AF know what a good one is. If I haven't seen a notification from you for a couple of days, I go looking for the missing video. If I was hungry, I'd go looking for food, so when I'm hanging out for cool survival tips, "Corporal's Corner's is definitely the go.

Another outstanding build!! The bacon jalapeño cheese poppers looked good but don’t think my stomach could handle them…Please keep up the awesome ideas!!!

if you are a sub but dont know its every sunday... are you really a sub?

That 4 runner looks good, no rust at all. Sits nice and high. Nice.

3rd gen 4runner was the best choice you could've made

Great video! I don’t mind getting all your notifications and feel fortunate that I get them all. But I’m one of your subs. Love all you do for us! Thanks!

Nice looking Toyota...what year model is that?

New to watching your channel and have been watching some of your older videos and just love the information your giving...anyone whose spent any time doing scouting has done some of this stuff but you provide an entire different layer of knowledge that is invaluable and well worth the time to watch. You also provide some good out of the box thinking for the unconventional camper

I enjoy when you build stuff like this

I am glad you repost, even though I pay for RU-vid premium to skip the ads. Sometimes I just don't catch the first one,

The Al Bundy hands in the pants cracked me up 😆

Well I'll tell you what I'm a subscriber I get your notifications every week anytime you send one out. It just so happens that I've got some of that sumac tea i n my refrigerator right now. I boiled mine and added honey to it oh, it's a lot better with honey in it believe me I've been told that it called Staghorn sumac actually I've heard that every since I was in Boy Scouts and when you boil it it's a deeper richer flavor also or you might say more tart. Anyway that was a good build especially for Basecamp I can't wait to see what you add to it. Have a great day stay safe and keep your powder dry!
