I’m a 50 year old woman, I’ll probably never, ever be in this type of situation, but after watching your videos, at least if I am, I have some kind of clue as to where to start.

WOW!!!! That looks SICK!!!! One Corporal to rule them all. 💍

"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.”

Cool build. I'd love it if you could give us a "total build time" estimate (without filming). Like this shelter took 5 hours not counting filming. No one works harder than you to make videos for us. Thanks.

A good idea would be to take some kids out and teach them your skills,I think most need it. Kids that spend all day online.

I was wondering how the shelter will age over the next few months. Will you take us to see some of the shelters you have built and what they look like after 3 months and 6months? Talk about what you can do to keep it viable if you need it longer than an overnight or weekend. or if you find an abandoned shelter how to judge what is need to make it use-able. Love you show see you next week..

You should just make a "That's a lot of work for an overnighter" coffee mug and sell it in the store. It's become a meme at this point.

With all the horrible stuff going on in our country. I'm glad to still see your videos, and happy you seem to be doing well. It's a much needed break from the world

Corporal wasnt playing . . . he said around 5-7 videos ago fresh content was coming and he wasnt joking. This is a gorgeous shelter. Mad respect for the attention to details.

"And now for the hard part" proceeds to stand up. - I felt that lol

Here we go with another episode of awesomeness. I have no problem running Corporal's Corner corner all day on Sundays. And sometimes during the week too when I'm working. I love to spread the word because this channel is legit.

Spring is an important time for the Marine... The warming temperatures and frequent rains create a different set of criteria for building a home and the storms provide a lot of deadfall to be utilized... Like the much smaller, but not much furrier beaver, the Marine plays an important role in rejuvenating the forest... By felling standing dead trees and disposing of smaller branches and leaves that build up over the previous seasons, he creates space for new growth and reduces fuel for furious forest fires that could occur during the summer droughts... Dry and filled with flammable resin, the standing red pines can quickly spread flames to the branches of taller trees... Let us now quietly watch as he settles in to his new home and prepares his evening meal, his great reward for a day of hard work...

I know you have probably heard this already but just in case you haven't, when are you going to put out a Corporals Corner Cookbook? You have more than enough recipes for a bushcraft cookbook. Plus you can add things we have not seen yet. You can make it like a field manual, built hardy with that paper that can get wet and not get destroyed. A survival or bushcraft manual would be cool too but FM21-76, SAS Survival guide, Mike Hawk, Tom Brown, Les Stroud, and every other manual already exists. Having said that, if there were a Corporals Bushcraft I would get it. BUT, what you don't see often is cookbook centered around cooking bacon everything in various ways and a big assed steak on a rock. Something to think about.

This video is evidence of what one highly motivated Marine can accomplish when called upon. This marine is sharing his skills with you. Oorah show some love hit the like button and share

Not sure how I discovered your channel but happy I did!! Keep it going, my friend! Thanks!!

I couldnt find the 3 pronged rake on Amazon. LOL

Corporal turns what looked like nothing into that cool little shelter and then wishes he'd done more with the roof. That's why we all follow you. Committed AF. Love to see you expand on that idea. Natural roofing that's waterproof and with a fire inside (larger of course) - just an idea. Thanks!

5 mins in and I just wanna say no other youtuber actually talks to us and explains it like you do. Well some do (usually the channels you recommend). You are one of the few that care about us. Keep'em coming sir! Looking out fucking standing! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This candle holsters are genius Corp!!

I love how the hard part was getting out of bed in the morning. Relatable AF 💯 👏

One of your crazier builds. Ascetically pleasing. This has AF written all over it.

Some caramelized onions would set that off Cheesy Double Applewood Bacon with Pork Tenderloin & potatoes just right!

Every child’s dreamed secret hideout. I’m sure if my son wasn’t disabled, he’d want to live in it, (if his dad hadn’t passed away, he’d have built one in the backyard, for him) I know at 6 years old, I would’ve. 😊

It’s always amazing to see how many new builds the corporal can come up with. Never gets old

What a special fun shelter! Love it! Great camo!

Morning coffee with the corporal, good timing and a cool build.

That’s awesome! I’ve been gathering gear to start this with my boyfriend. 😅 This is awesome!!!! 😁

I have been eagerly waiting for your newest post. Thx for posting - appreciated and shared.

I like getting your status in the morning. Your comfort level. You’re usually pretty open and honest about how your sleep was. I think it’s a pretty valuable metric to keep track of when you are testing so many different set-up’s and designs. I would value knowing the most restful and comfortable camp systems for various seasons and environments combined. Might be something to consider.

The Shirefolk would be proud. Outstanding!

At this point we're not expect to see corporal to come inside anytime soon, he's gonna stay out standing for the foreseeable future.

Hey corporal, how about a collaboration with Dave if you can find time during pathfinder school? Would be a very cool video! Keep up the good work!

Corporal builds hobbit house in middle of the woods. Government: You know you'll have to pay property taxes on that.

thank you for your service sir, and the work you do could be a life saving skill thank you for showing us all how to make a home out in the cold woods for survival i learn a lot from all of your video's . I hope you see this Jim

I am a new subscriber. At 75 years of age, you have just motivated me to give this a try. The only thing I plan to do different is take my chain saw, pneumatic nail gun, electric blanket, 10,000 watt generator and 26 ft Winnebago. I think I can do this. 🙂 Wish me luck🙃

Great video Shawn. Keep them coming. About a hundred years ago a Northern Plains Indian Chief said about daylight saving time, "Only a white man would come up with the idea that he could cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it to the bottom and believe he had a longer blanket." 🙂

This is one I would hate to see torn down! It makes me want to find some small patch of woodland and work on it when possible, as a getaway and to develop skills. It would be fun to keep improving it but I guess that would make for a different concept than overnighters. Also, it would be harder to show skills, and in the long run, that is what this channel is about, learning to improvise for yourself.

I probably laughed too hard when you said, "meat tube."

Just before I watched this we had bacon bits coated pork steak. Yum bacon potatoes. Energy for the night!

Peace of mind is everything!

There he goes... showing off how badass he is again... while I'm over here rocking the walmart specials. LMFAO! For real brother, dont ever stop. I live for your videos. Keep up the fire! BTW... Stay away from those "meat tubes". LoL

The Corporal is a real health nut. LOL. Makes me hungry af everytime.

CPL Kelly, I enjoyed this build very much. I truly wish that the, "That's a lot of work for an overnighter.", crowd would leave it be. They seem to be forgetting that, while you are only out on an overnighter, you are showing your audience how to build shelters that could be used for days, or even weeks, if they find themselves in a true survival situation. So, while it may be a lot of work for an overnight stay, that work could be split up over 2-3 days, if needed, to keep you alive for however long it took help to find you. Keep up the good work. It is a joy to watch you videos. Semper Fi!

I used to have trouble with lashing branches together when building a shelter but thanks to your videos it now easy peasy lemon squeezy. timber hitch , wrap, frap, clove hitch thanks buddy your outstanding.

This thing is move in ready,like a Howard Johnson’s,Well done Corporal.

This looks badass Corporal! Keep on keeping on!

We always called that "fat wood" "light or not" because we never knew if it would light or not. :)

Corporal is living a nature lifestyle that working class can't get out to enjoy.

I've never been camping, but watching your videos have me wanting to go in the woods lol... thank you C.C.

Thank you for your service from a vet to another vet. I watch your videos and my 8 year old daughter also loves watching them with me. I wish you luck and once again love watching your videos.

In the meantime, Bigfoot is is hiding nearby, watching and thinking to himself, " Man, I need to start a RU-vid channel. I can do all this without tools!"

This dude has mastered the art of making me hungry

The Food Looks Really Good Everytime!!! 👍

A lot of great ideas that Most of us wouldn't have thought about...adding convenience to your camp site. Great job!

Easy on the cheese sprinkling CPL!! You're dropping some cheesy goodness in the fire!! You obviously know the 3 food groups of veterans is, Bacon, Bourbon and, Cheese. 😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😁

You should do a cooking show. 😆 that looks so good.

Especially with emergency shelters, ones that are too large take longer to heat and are harder to keep warm. If you were building a shelter that was going to have to get you through several months of roughing it, then yeah, sure, take your time and build something a little more extravagant. Something you might be able to bring a small fire into, or at least some hot rocks, and be able to sit upright in. But for a few days, even a few weeks, a small emergency shelter that is less work, both to build and to maintain, is going to be a major time and effort saver in the long run. That said, if you're someone who just loves building large, fancy shelters for whatever reason, even for small outings, more power to you. But I'm personally in the mindset of smaller being better for temporary shelters.

I imagine there's a cool stretch of woods near your house with all of these cool shelters spread around

Intresting.. Good to know 👍 Hugs from Sweden 🇸🇪

In a hole in the ground, there lived a Corporal. Not a nasty, dirty wet hole full of worms and oozy smells, this was a corporal hole, and that means good food, a warm fire, and all the comforts of bushcraft.

You see, these are the videos that should receive an award for being educational, fun & informative. Everytime I see the Corporal's corner, I get super relaxed and worry free. For a few minutes, it's therapy time for me. Outstanding AF!

Love how the "people" who question your shelter builds, etc, all sound like the same grumpy guy! LOL! Nice comfy shelter! Must say that meal looked so scrumdelicious!! Hope Ol' Gandalf stopped by to share some Old Toby (sweetest Longbottom Leaf!!)

I really enjoy the different types of shelters that you come up with! I kinda have the suspicion that as much as you enjoy doing this, if there wasn’t a RU-vid, you’d STILL be doing it!!!😁

Man, that is one cool Hobbit pad!👌🏼

_you've outdone yourself this time with shelter and damn dude when are you're MREs coming out?! You roll like a forest baller_ Oh and that candle puts out as much heat as you do

All that's missing is second breakfast lol. Edit: Prob effective as a small hunting hut.

I keep watching these and have to wonder if you gave the good Corporal a chunk of land and a few high quality tools and he'd have a cabin that's up to code anywhere in a matter of weeks. The plumbing might slow him down some but not much else would

8:50. A good Corporal always reminds the troops to mind the gap.

The Corporal seems to dig in a little more for each video. This shelter would keep my spirits up for a week if I had clean water and food. Awesome shelter!!!

You shingle better then some roofers on long island

Anything worth having is work id stay a couple of days to enjoy my labor of love to my self I love it

wish you had a section each night like TOWER GUARD stories, or a who would win debate and pick a side. just a throwback to those days peering over the hescos into the inky black with that brother(or sister) from another mother

Outstanding you're good at what you do keep it up

Corporals corner your a very brilliant person.i learn from you.

That's alot of work for just a one nighter....!,but then again it's worth extra credit...

Until you realize how often you have to lift these logs to get the various shots, you cant appreciate how hard you work, Corp, to sell the narrative and keep us focused on the subject. Many thanks! Love the videos, too.

The best camping videos. This guy makes the best. Lmao period

There is a group of mountains in CO I love to hike up, but it takes over half a day to hike to the base. This shelter would be super super cool to build and revisit whenever I want to camp at the base of my favorite mountain

Love the shelter. Very cozy looking even if it was just an overnighted. You can still use it for another overnighted at another time. You got some awesome ideas. Thumbs up.

“He ate bacon with every meal...you can’t do that.” - City Slickers That candle stick was cool AF btw.

Only criticism I have... where the f where you when I grew up building tree forts in the woods as a kid😂😂😂 Kids these days don’t know how good they have it

Nicely done Cpl. Baggins! You will need more room once them Dwarves show up though.

That really is cool AF great job👍🏻👍🏻

Enjoy and respect watching survivor using basis skills in nature rather than watching greedy, selfish politicians and celebrities!

1. i truly hope you left that structure there. quality work. (i also thought clay roof would be good) 2. how much is the rent for that bachelor unit in the woods? lol

Just found your channel, time to binge!

Corporals Corners. Sets up a survival AIR BNB for those who like to be at one with nature but don't want to do all the damn work.

Excellent technique Keep sharing the know how.

As usual outstanding AF.

Just purchased some items off of your Amazon Influencer page...JRTC coming up in April, going to be sleeping in a LiteFighter tent for 21 of the 29 days I'll be there...going to set up a lean-to with the tarp and cordage as a hang out or to stow extra gear, plus an air mattress to sleep on...or may use the LiteFighter tent to stow my gear and sleep under the lean-to. Imagine: a soon to be Staff Sergeant sleeping in lean-to Corporal Style!

Hey Brother in Arms, I really think all your shelters are cool AF but what I really enjoy watching is the chows you cook up. Yum, yum!!

It's awesome 😊

Corporal,..You Kick A$$ man...Great job..Thank you..

So I just stumbled on this channel while looking for tarp shelters etc. I have to say I thoroughly enjoy your approach and attitude and the fact that I can sit here watch, learn, and enjoy with my 9 year old son. We both rather appreciate your cooking! My son Marcus said, and I quote, "He's *really* creative." while we were watching your Bacon Cheese burger on the shovel. Thanks and keep up the good work brother!

i smoke the crap outa the inside to flush out the bugs in the bark an mosses.. else i experiance a lota" visiters" droppin on me at night

Awesome. Also, idk why anyone would say your shelters are too small, anyone who's actually slept outside in the cold knows that a smaller shelter is best for keeping you warm because there's less space for your body to heat, and less are that can be cooled by the ambient temperature of the area you're in. It might be less important if you've got a top end sleeping bag to keep you warm, but if you're doing minimalist camping how you do, every little thing becomes so much more important. This one was super cool use of surroundings.

Darn it Shawn after watching this I forgot to turn it off and just let your videos play off the recommended list for like two hours!

Sick, sick build, by far one of my favorites 👍, keep it up Corporal definitely looking forward to your next video 🤙🤙🤙

Bro! You making an FTX look like a 5 star ⭐️ resort destination 🤘🏽🏆🔥🔥🙌🙌 Semper Fi even though am Army (Hooah). God bless and I enjoy your videos a lot!!!
