One of my buddies turned me on to this channel for the knot making and now I'm hooked! Thanks for the awesome videos and great content.

You're the man!

One of the many things I appreciate about your approach is the fact that no matter what the situation is. You are never rushed. You take your time and show everyone how you do your builds. Doing it fast and doing it right are apples and oranges. Oorah Corporal.

eggs on a shovel! you are too savage....love it!

My grandfather “pop” was a Boy Scout leader and always told me to leave a campsite in better shape than you found it. The shot at the very end where it basically looks untouched is gold. Nicely done sir!

The beauty of crafting and breathing life into the fire! Also, Steak is never the wrong answer...

I loved the non stick shovel for frying eggs. I've been enjoying your channel since 2012 when I retired from the fire service. I discovered it while living in a wall tent in north east Washington state. I lived in that tent for 3 years while I was building my cabin. I've learned a lot from you. I try not to miss a week.

While friction fire skills are important, there is a good reason why I have a Bic in my pants, jacket, bag, and my electronics box.

As always, your videos are so disciplined, so well organized. I'm a social studies teacher with more than two decades of teaching and over the past several years, I've modified my teaching techniques to reflect several of your methods for simplifying concepts. Not surprisingly, my weekends nearly always see me tent camping. It's not survival, but I'm increasingly returning to more bushcraft projects. Thanks for such great instruction!

“Sacrificing a tree” it seems that a lot of people don’t get it, but a stand of small trees close together is not good, they’re all robbing each other of nutrients, so thinning that out actually encourages growth and health in the ones left. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure that out, so if you need a tree sometimes, I’m not complaining and neither should anyone else. In the area where you routinely seem to do these videos, mostly there is a lot of thinning needed for the forests health (IMHO). So, keep making videos for me to enjoy, please and thank you very much!

I've worked construction my entire life and always had my lunch on a tailgate with dirty hands, it doesn't make you sick, I think it builds up your immune system.

Best bushcraft channel, hands down.

As always, my 'more' favorite camping videos, the debris type camping shelters. Great ideas for Boy Scouts.

I just can't stop watching these videos 2 Times or more, just something so satisfying about your videos that just brings people to watch and I love these videos!

This was brilliant, just love watching the expert doing his stuff. Thank you Shawn 😊 💫

My parents had a dope, air-cook popcorn maker in the mid 80s-early 90s. Pour it in the bottom, hit the button, the corn would pop and migrate out the top of the contraption into the awaiting bowl. It had a removable container on top to melt your butter whilst the corn got to popping'.

Sundays with the Corporal.."OUTSTANDING AF"..!!

Thanks Shawn, great video. Good shelter and good menu (that grilled meat, popcorn and fried egg have made me want to have dinner now) 😉. A couple of details that I appreciate in your videos: the final still image, for several seconds, where we can see the setup of the camp in operation and the recovery of the camping environment, as found, once you break the camp in order to leave as little footprint as possible on the environment. A detail, the latter, of respect for the environment that speaks highly of the person who performs it. Thank you for doing it. 👍😉

Sir, showing how to make the drill set and how to use it, adds to the value of the video. I may not need to make a bow drill or Dakota fire hole, but at least I will know how if I need to. Thanks again for the schooling

That was a genius multi use for the shovel. A good mod would be threaded inserts and wing nuts for a quick removal of the handle. Plus, it would help with packing it.

Another excellent camp. I especially like the way your videos show both building shelters (when in the open) and using/improving upon existing structures that are present. As I believe you said once - why waste time building a shelter when all you have to do is slightly improve and cover up an existing framework. I thoroughly enjoy watching the thought process that goes into these overnighters. As always, your time and effort are much appreciated. Semper Fi, brother! P.S. - nice Whitesnake reference.

If I’ve missed it, my apologies. But I’ve not noticed a first aid kit discussion. With the use of knives, handling fire/hot items, sharp saws, pointy sticks, old lumber, and other wound potential issues, maybe discuss what a good first aid kit would need. Anything from sun screen to a suture kit. Murphy can and will show up eventually and something will be needed. What are your thoughts?

Sunday nights. Toasted cheese (no pizza), beer and corporals corner. Outstanding.

Great video! I really like these improvised debris-shelters! Low-tech freedom in the woods.

As an Eagle Scout I have a lot of knowledge and experience doing some of the things you highlight in your videos. However, you always teach me something I either hadn’t thought of or didn’t know. I appreciate your content greatly! Keep it up; you’re almost to 1M subs, congrats. 🇺🇸

My brother I love your videos I'm sorry that it took me 2 days to get to it I got my notification and my email but life just didn't happen to play in your favor. I did the stealth camping low profile and simple. My only concern is I've got 2 kids and in the event of needing to be stealthy camping I've got them with me and I'm and I would love to see you do some more stuff with your kiddo if possible

Oh well Jiffy Pop on a Dakota fire... never seen THAT before! Yum yum yum

The opening line from Whitesnake. Love it! 👍🤘

Ahh Sunday with steak, jiffy pop and the corporal. It doesn't get any better. I enjoy all your videos, there's always something to learn. Using what the landscape provides makes for a great class. Thanks corporal always outstanding af.

Sorry I missed your video this morning . Another great video keep them coming , I’m in Australia 🇦🇺 had to go to work early today 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

A basic camp but cool as funk... if you have to make a quick getaway then basic survival is what counts. Egg on a shovel was quality 👌🏻 Thanks for another great video 🇬🇧

I like the shelter! But I really like the fire hole. Thanks for your time! Now I need to go back to your knot videos.

Another informative video SK. If I can make a small request… when you do this stealth camping set up, back up 40 feet and pan around so that we can see just how stealthy the camp is. Then Zoom in on the exact location of the camp… maybe even walk up to it. Shouldn’t take too long to add this as a post breakfast shot. Just a thought. TY

"You're gonna get sick!" I've been in the woods since I was a kid, I've cooked in tin cans, on shovel heads, in foil packets, on old discarded pieces of sheet metal....It's doable and if you're actually in a bind, you'll do it or go hungry. Make a choice.

That's smart with the shovel and the egg

Like first, watch video second... CPL. K👍👍 Master of the bank line is at it again, excellent. Good idea using what mother nature has already provided, cave, downed tree, rock structure Etc.. Saves a lot of back breaking work and its usually stronger than what one can make. The DFP worked great AF, provided the means to grill that steak, pop popcorn and make a breakfast egg on a shovel and to be honest, almost all fires need fed regularly. A long fire like you said and a self feeding fire (which you never see because of proper construction requirements) are the exception. Great video, well done, thanks. See ya next time. Enjoy!

OMG!!! ROFLMAO Steak and Eggs on a Shovel. I laughed my A off. Only The Corporal could come up with this. I never have seen this in any of the other camping channel. LOVE IT!!!

i do like that you include the leave no trace mentality at the end

One of the best parts about your videos, is your LNT ethics!! I don't know how many fire rings and trash I have come across in my outdoor endeavors. Too many people go to "Enjoy" the outdoors, and leave their trash. Just makes one want to go crazy. Thanks for the LNT attitude and keep those videos coming!!

12:30 if you didn't say it I would've been disappointed haha. Great video Corporal.

Right now, living in Finland next to Russia, I feel like I should refresh my stealth camping skills. Also gonna to start working out more and running exercises. You never know when or if the call comes, better get to fighting shape. EDIT: actually that gave me an idea. Have you ever (and this of course depends on the laws of your state) thought about camping videos with "combat kit"? How it would change camping and shelter building. Or do you think would it be the same principles, but just having a rifle, ammo, and combat gear with you.

Hello corporal once again much love and respect my x told me if I watched one more episode of your channel she would be gone and ya know I have to be honest I will only take my bacon and hot sauce and I will miss her but rite now for me the bow drill is first and formost so as always thank you corporal be safe and from your loyal soldiers from Boston

always something to look forward to every Sunday. outstanding af indeed!

Look, I am a retied Army Warrant Officer(24.5 years) I served MANY a Day with the members of "The Corp.!!I learned damn near all this stuff while serving, but I love the fresh approach and You are just entertaining! I am now 65, I do miss my time in the service. Many Kudos to you! Keep on doing what you are doing I love it!! Simper Fi Marine!!

Another glorious video Shawn. I've gotta work on my primitive fire making skills this year, can't be relying on modern technology all the time. Great job as always.

Loved the shovel part. My grandfather worked in the woods to stop a forest fire way back in the 30's or 40's. I remember stories about how all they had was tools for cutting and digging to remove healthy trees from the path of the fire in order to stop the spread of the fire. They would use their shovels to cook food. The guy delivering the food used to hang around and help eat most of the food. So instead of washing it clean in a stream...my grandfather took a shovel and got it really dirty...then cooked some food on it in front of buddy. The guy was disgusted and asked is that how you always cook the food...my grandfather joked that a little dirt adds flavor. After that buddy would drop off the food and move on instead of eating most of the guys food. The older generations had to improvise and use what they had on hand.

Others see fallen logs. You see a ready made shelter! Another great vid!

I love the fact that your not taking brush from your immediate surroundings. Hope everyone picks up on that if you are stealth camping! Great video as always stay outstanding af!

Just watched my first video. My boyfriend told me to watch. He is an avid fan. I enjoyed this alot! Will definitely be watching more! Keep up the fascinating job!!

Great video

I like that you keep it real about just having fun and learning something in the process. I’d personally probably never try doing what you do (I’m a state park camping type), but it’s always good to know some basic skills in case your gear fails, you forget something, or Mother Nature throws you a curve ball. My dad was 1st calvary in Vietnam and taught me a lot when I was a young girl. Those skills helped me though many local natural disasters, and of course, just camping for fun.

A shout-out to my good buddy Shawn,sorry had to work the whole weekend only got a chance to watch your video now how you keeping,hope you and you boys are well

Great video Corporal! always showin off the badass skills and making me feel eager to get out there and camp.

itd be cool to see your son again with his own stealth camp next to yours.

It has been a while since i said anything.. Thank you so much for all the great content !!

Popcorn in a pan, as soon as I could be trusted at the stove I called dibs on making popcorn. Shake, shake, shake that pan and don't burn it. Eatin good in the woods, Sunday after church. Thanks Shawn.

I watched this twice and read the transcript and I can’t find where you mentioned the “crisis” in the U anywhere so I have no idea why they throttled this video like you mention in your next video. Keep ‘em coming Corporal, love you creativity and your antics!

Hey Hoss I'm watching it again.

Great video brother! Keep ‘em coming Marine !

Muchas gracias por tus interesantes videos. Muchas cosas que muestras las pongo en práctica 😃. Un gran saludo desde España 👍

Good video bro. When are you going to make a sod structure? Bring some buddies. Semper

This is my second time in, hoping to improve your numbers. Sorry about the YT censorship, especially with such a great video.

I LOVE your egg cooking method, BRILLIANT and just how I do things. I enjoy using my imagination and finding unique methods of navigating this beautiful path we are all on. I live in the North East and our earth is rocky with lots of boulders, so making a Dakota pit is impossible. As a child, my father taught us how to survive overnight in the wilderness of the glacier lake in Canada where I was raised and I am so grateful for that unusual education. I prefer wilderness to urban living but that is no longer possible.

Been watching your channel for a long while. One thing I'd eventually like to see would be say, an hour long "special" where you spend maybe 3 to 7 days just "smoothin" it in the bush. I watch to the end each week and replay a lot of your videos. My toddler watches with me and just started making forts around the house. Teaching 'em young! Thanks for all you do man.

Informative & Calming ....mmmm Steak 🥩

This is honestly my favorite channel to support. I have never been so invested in seeing someone so deserving get what is coming to them.

Awesome as always. Down and dirty, getting it done. Thankyou for the content and the years of service.

Hi there! I really, really like your channel. I've seen others "teach" outdoor survival but they try to scare you then, "oh but if you go to my website you can buy XYZ product and it will save your life". Despicable, if you ask me. With every thing we have had to deal with in the past 2 years, we don't need guys in camo gear with the tags still on them running around saying the end is nigh. You are legitimate Corporal with the USMC, yes? Your the best, Corporal so I'm going with you. RU-vid must have started promoting your show. It came into my recommended page so I watched and was very impressed!

I can't believe I missed out on your knife again, as soon as I get a notification it's sold out when I check the site. Huge bummer!

You are my hero. Cooking on a shovel, that is what you call moving uptown. Love your videos have learned a lot. Always come back to them when I need to information or gear. Camping with Tony and bruce first class guy. Watch him every week.

Hell Yah, Jiffy Pop was a camp staple back in My day. Great vid once again Shawn. Thanks

if the reference was about the shovel man oh man is youtube gone to shit

The smart homeless folks watch your vids👍

Awesome. I like the shovel trick. Might even find a way to mount the blade on your cook set. I watch Tony and Brucee every week. He gave you a shout out last year over your knot videos. That’s how I found you.

Great video like always and enjoyable to watch. I always get a kick out of your impression when you “trigger” someone and wave your hands in the air.

Hey I luv watching your channel could you build a bushcraft raft I’ve seen you can build just bout anything I think your that great thank you

Lmfao, the closed caption says [applause] whenever theres no talking throughout the video 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Absolutely love your videos reminds me of being a kid and making these shelters with my brother, now I carry it on to my kids

Brings a new visual for shoveling in your food👍🏻

Loved it Corpral Kelly! Was that a WhiteSnake referance? Thanks for sharing

JIFFY POP! WOOO HOOO! I'm going to start ordering my eggs, "shovel fried please". AWSOME VIDEO! SALUTE!

Thank you sir for your videos I love them and keep them coming

I stealth camped for two years. One thing to think about if possible and if you are in a situation where you do not want to be found easily by sight, is that if you can, gather debris from sites not visible from where you are actually camped, as the disturbed leaves and loam could give you away. If you need more than one trip to gather debris, possibly consider taking it from multiple locations so as not to create a trail.

I caught that Journey song reference.

You should have a contest that the winner get to go on overnight with you

My partner and I watch you religiously Corporal. You have succeeded to teach even us old dogs new tricks. I wish RU-vid would actually sit down and watch your videos. They are informative and extremely important especially at this time. So many people are homeless and your techniques could save lives. Thank you again Corporal. We miss seeing your son. Please tell him so :)

I like all of your videos but I really like how at the end you clean up afterwards and remove as much evidence as possible that you stayed there overnight. Too many others just leave a mess when they leave.

Looked like a a simple, no frills, easily erected stealth camp of a size and design to keep you dry and help you regulate your core temp without too much trouble beyond keeping that fire stoked through the night. I'm a firm believer in the K.I.S.S. principle. I'm always amazed and angered by all the armchair experts that criticize and chastise one for things like how food is cooked or just about anything anyone is doing in the woods. My advice to them is, put up or shut up. Create their own videos on how it's really done and post it and then defend what they did in the video when all the ravenous armchair warriors come banging on the door with their pitchforks and torches. Keep on keeping on Shawn you're rocking it and don't need me or anyone else to tell you that.

Rewatched as directed.

another Outstanding AF Corporal video. Ribeye, popcorn, eggs from a shovel...can't ask for more in a Dakota fire pit haha. Cheers

Thanks for another great video. I think your Dakota fire pits are among my favorite campfires. I am always impressed at how easy you start a fire. I can generally get one going but you are super efficient. We experience a lot of wet wood in south Louisiana. Thank you for sharing your skills and being with your legions another Sunday. Have a great week my friend and we will look for you next time.

Prayers for the Ukainian people and soldiers fighting Putin! Suggestion...maybe a stealth urban survival fighting position in solidarity with those brave innocent citizens of Kyviv, Kharkov and the Ukraine at-large.

For the algorithm

Didn't get my morning Corporal's Corner fix so.... 7:45pm, catch up time. 😃

Thank you again Corporal for another great banger you be safe you’ll be good made a great spirit protect you and keep you safe and your family keep up the great work

Forget getting sick, how do you carry eggs without breaking em lol

Hahaha why RU-vid flagging finding this video backtracking next time use “Ruskey” for the shovel part lol

Do more stealth camps. Enjoyed that one.

I dont know why but the Dakota fire hole episodes are my favorites. Thanks for another great video and thanks for always adding entertainment to our Sundays!
