I hit the thumbs up before the video even starts because Corporal Kelly delivers, EVERY TIME! Hell, if I could thumbs up his videos before he even films them I would!

Those ribeyes look awesome. I'm telling you, man; if you're ever running out of shelter build ideas, you could start a culinary series... "The Bushcrafter's Grille" or "Corporal's Cuisine" Also, good to see you're training at the Eagle Fang Dojo...

Hey man. I'm falling apart like puzzles because of separation with my son after break up with my ex. Your videos inspired me. Went few times for camping in forest. Now getting my shite together again. Thank you.

Holy smokes...the size of that spider crawling by as you were cooking up the Spam! Wowza.

I dig it. I'm really liking that shovel and tarp setup. Thanks Corporal.

Now it's Sunday. Thank you.

I just found out I don't have brain cancer. Now I can chill with some Corporal AF videos, a nice cigar and decompress. Great day today.

Getting close to the 1m shows that hard work pays off

The tarp/tent configuration you demonstrated in today’s episode is also my favorite. Excellent work.

Thank you Corporal for all your hard work. Don't give up I know things may not be going your way right now but it will get better. We are here for you.

Just got back from first vacation with just the wife in 10 years after caring for her mom. What did she want? Camping! I'll have you know I finally mastered the bowline and tautline hitch. Any meals we cooked used the Pathfinder skillet and bushpot. But sorry Shawn, we had PERKED camp coffee in the mornings!😎

I learn more from your channel than any other channel. Thank you for your service and the way you teach. Excellent. One thing about you is you seem to enjoy what you do and it shows.

Enjoy all your videos. You make'em I'll watch them!

I’ve been slacking on watching all of your videos all the way through so I’m being. Watching them tonight! Cheers!

Nicely done Shawn, AGAIN! I can't wait to see what you have in store for your upcoming skills videos!!

Your instructions are very good. I’m not an outdoorsman, but you got me considering trying an overnighter! Thanks for all you encouragement!

Corporal I just want to say im sorry I havnt been the best supporter. Ive watched your channel for years now but I havnt always liked your videos. From now on ill leave a comment and like. You definitely deserve them.

Closing in on 1MILLION Subs Corporal!!!!! Thank you for all your hardwork you put into all of your camping and shelter building videos.

Thanks for taking the time to show the knots and stuff. I know its repetitive for you, but it helps keep it fresh in viewers, like mine.

I hit the button when I saw the stakes brother I love your cooking 🍳 style reminds me when I was in the s.v.

Bro, the tarp tent is clean! Buff AF. It’s been a bit harder for me to make this tent with an 8×8 oilcloth but I love that trucker’s hitch and the bipod lashing in the back. Yer vids are always fads for the lads & curls for the girls. Would be awesome to see you do a series on Tentsmiths 8x8 configurations. Not many of those floating around on YT. Cats would dig that, duders!

Great video. That tarp configuration is great, quick setup and meets all your needs. Looking forward to the next video.

I also hit the thumbs up before I watch corporal's corner videos and cpl.Kelly explains and shows his viewers how to properly set up camp and cook good food or meals.

Brother, your videos are killer. I don’t understand how YT is not pumping these things to everyone’s feed. Non-stop action. Building, tying, cooking, fire building: true life skills. Keep up the good work.

In order to "pad" the top of my tent pole I usually carry a tennis ball with an X cut in it to accept the tent pole.

That tarp tent configuration just looks really good, no nonsense, simple, and outstanding

It’s great that you do things slowly and deliberately enough that we can learn how to do them. You’re an excellent instructor! Thanks for all your time and efforts!

Cpl Kelly another Hit. That tarp tent looks great! I watched that set up twice. Another great video. I have to say thank you for your sacrifice sleeping in the woods. If the eastern woodlands are anything like the piedmont of NC right now it’s still in the 80’s at night and the humidity is still killer. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO. Semper Fi Marine. SSgt B

Awesome video. Love the tarp tent setup. Thank you for your time and effort making this for us. See ya next week.

Every time I watch you push a tent peg in or dig a hole, I think about the crazy clay and rocks everywhere I camp in Australia.

Corp - Just logged in to watch todays show for the second time, you were #1 in my feed. That rocks!

Not to insult you, but I'm taking my son backyard camping, which is glamping as far as this channel goes. I've seen this tarp configuration elsewhere on RU-vid, but seeing you love it makes it official. Thank you. SPC Day

The tarp tent configuration was spot on, looked great!

This is the first time I’ve seen you use a fork for your coffee not a stick. Nothing wrong there I just love the whole natural feels watching u do it with the stick.

#2 in my feed this week, Corporal! Love that tarp config too! Easy and fast!

I've learned so much from your outstanding videos!

I hit the like button also, way before the end of the video. I have some physical health restrictions and watch your videos so that may at least see camping and bushcraft exercises through you. I watch every week. I think you are doing an awesome job. You make them videos, I will watch them.

Great tarp configuration. Looks like a very comfy camp. Thanks 😊

I wish I was a good writer so that I could express what I'm about to say but here it goes anyway. I have learned so much from this guy and forgot half of it. I have never once in at lest 6 years give the Corporal anything in return besides a like and a comment every now and then. Still teaching me new stuff and stuff I already used and forgotten. I've learned more useful things from this guy then I did in all of school. I've been wanting to say that for along time. Thanks Corporal I really do appreciate you.🇺🇸👍👍

What I like about about Kelly's videos is there's relief from the outside world of stress and political BS. I put on my headsets and like magic I transformed into his world and away from the digital BS. ✌👍

More recently posted content taken down, so commenting here. I haven't been subscribed that long, but there is a clear difference in joy between your early content and what you're putting out now. I can only imagine the stress of trying to make a living based on the algorithm and the whims of popularity. It's pretty clear that stress is taking a toll on your output. I hope you can get some of that spark back because the fun factor is what got me here to begin with.

I always love your “knotsmanship” - if that is a word!

Cool setup. I like the tarp for a myriad of reasons over just a tent. Throw a light hammock in the kit and you have most shelter environments covered!!! The covered fire is something I have had to do once or twice lol. Fat wood makes a big difference there!! OUTSTANDING AF once again sir!!

Nice one with the early morning brew. Would be keen to see an update on the hut/s. I for one enjoyed that series. ATB.

MISS SEEING YOUR SON. HOPE IS ALL GOING WELL WITH HIM

I could literally watch the corporal tie knots all day long! Super relaxing!

SPAM!!! Love ❤ me some SPAM!!! I also really enjoyed that you revisited that tarp shelter, I really like that shape and configuration too. Outstanding AF as always!!! BZ

With all due respect, for someone who doesn't like nescrapfe coffee, you sure do drink it a lot. Love you show, love your videos.

Thanks for doing this tarp setup, can't wait to do one.

I even got my wife watching your videos wanting to go to the mountain to hike Corporal Sean Kelly you are a legend

I just want you to know you're teaching works and we appreciate it as was camping this weekend I was told my hatchet did not have a guard right then I pulled out the one inch gorilla tape and parachute cord and made one in under 15 minutes and it's reusable thank you

Corporal Shawn Kelly You have once again delivered, an outstanding af video, I am already looking forward to the next one !!!!

Anyone else notice the big ass spider during his breakfast at 16:45? 🤣

Another outstanding AF Corporal Sunday! You do an amazing job of showing all the skills - making the shelter, all the knots, making the fire, etc. The "one-stop-shop" for skills. Can't wait for the next video and to try that tarp tent. Thanks for all you do Corporal!

Looks like RU-vid might be trying to throttle you back again. I didn't get the notification that your new video had dropped. Glad I found it though!! Thanks for another great episode. See you next week if not sooner!

As always you do your best every time absolutely brilliant AF keep up the outstanding work that you do

Another excellent video, but that is only to be expected. I agree that, so far, that tarp tent configuration is my favorite. I like the option of having the bi-pod in the back. Also, it's always nice to have a covered fire in case of rain. I like all the options you've presented so far, plus a couple of others I've used in the past. It's nice to have options in order to adjust to any given situation. As always, your time and effort in bringing us these videos is much appreciated. Have a great day! Semper Fi!

Never seen a covered fire. This whole setup is something I need to watch more!! Shawn thank you for your continued dedication. GREAT SETUP!! 👍👍👊🏻

Love the tarp shelter. One of the best, plenty of room.

Great video, Corporal! Chow looked amazing AF. Thank you for all you for all of us. It is never unnoticed or unappreciated.

Thank You. 😊

I’m new to all of this but I think this is my favorite tarp configuration too. I need a lot more practice knot making. 😅 Thank you ! 👍

I love the single tarp shelter set up it looks awesome

Thank you for the tips and tricks, your awesome !!

As always-- OUTSTANDING

I absolutely love your videos! Props to Eagle Fang! You're the man. Cheers

Thank you Corporal Sir! I still want to see your off grid cabin too!

Hotdamn 978k! I guess years of telling every soul that Corporal has the baddest builds on youtube is paying off!!!!! ;-)

Coffee bags (like tea bags) beats all instant coffee.

Good looking setup Shawn , thanks for sharing , God bless !

Wow. You are closing in on 1 Million subs. Congratulations Sean.

Yes! Hickory smoke Spam. My favorite! And the favorite of discriminating bears everywhere. Last time I cooked a batch a bear stopped by and tried to bully some for himself. It didn't work and he went away without any, but he tried to come into camp a couple of times. Each time getting a bit more aggressive. Silly bear didn't realize all the Spam had already been eaten and he was dangerously close to me popping off a round in his general direction. That tarp configuration is my favorite. The only drawback is during bug season. I've toyed with the idea of bringing a chunk of mosquito netting to cover the entrance with, but wondered if the skeeters would find their way under the bottom edges of the shelter? I'll have to give it a try and see how it works out.

You eat better than the whole 7th fleet during deployment corporal kelly enjoyed ribeye steaks, fried spam and eggs to order and mud coffee lol outstanding af 🤜🤛

truly enjoyed your set up of the tarp/tent. Excellent way of doing it, especially when most would only maybe come up with something lesser and settle for less. Thank you, sir.

Let's get this man to the 1,000,000 subs. Consistently great channel, i personally like the knot tying segments of the video, an overlooked part of the survival genre. I personally used the "triple loop knot" as a base for my Custom weed-eater strap, which worked perfect.. keep up the great work!

Hello Caporal, you are a lucky man , because in France with canicule it's forbiden to making fire........In my région Dordogne , the summer is insupportable , ans it's for that WE décidé with my wife to get out on montain.......I think becoming the buschraft and a good fire.....I enjoy your Channel.......good day........ciao..

I'm here for you sir I'll support your channel the best I can

Keep up the great work Shawn! I have learned so much over the last several years since finding your channel. I still go back and watch and rewatch older videos. I sometimes miss a week but I always watch as soon as I get a chance.

Scrambled spam and eggs is an outstanding meal with your coffee and an outstanding video,love it

Another great video, thanks! Good luck with the mid-week video!!

Great video! Thanks

I love the content of Corporal Kelly channel, I am taking it to the next level and teaching my boys the same skills

That's a great tarp configuration, looks as good as a store-bought tent

Simple. To the point. Efficient. Outstanding A F.

If it's not raining we aren't training, also had a ribeye for chow. Have to try spam again, been a very long time, do you have a deal with them (promo)? If I were going to take the weight penalty for canned food it would be corned beef(personal preference). How about showing site after clean up as to well it can be restored to natural conditions-tread lightly and opsec.

I agree this is one of my favourites for "tarp configurations" but yes the opening is problematic during bug season ... hence I take along a mosquito net that covers my entire sleeping bag ... never saw a "roof" over a fire pit there's always a first ... good idea ! ... I would've saved that last steak for the morning ... "steak & eggs" over spam any day ...LOL!!! entire video very good !! Cheers !

Yes I agree, that is a great Tarp Tent setup. I always see new things to try when I watch you're videos. Thanks again.

When are you gunna be on Alone cause I feel like you’d kill it on that show. Could you do a 10 items list of you were on that show?

Awesome

I love your videos! I really love how you show the knots you use. Knot tying is so important.

Ah yes another amazing day watching corporals corner

Tarp tent, that’s what’s up!

Yep there it is the rain.now a thought. You have been fishing a bit. Have you thought of starting a worm bed central to your several stream side camps.or better yet near the watch tower along with a a bit of corn planted at the edges. No dear would dareaproach. Softened. Earth grass leaves vegetable left overs layered .(any animal skate around helps) Next season. Worms to fish with all the time. Great build as usual.

Thanks Shawn, Detail Detail Details, that's what I so appreciate, Thank You! Any time I'm wanting Gear I'm always checking your sources in the enjoyment of giving a little back. When you demo technique from knots to tarp configurations, it's those fine details that bring the huge thumbs up, shares and my regular return visits. I seldom comment but am always in the background supporting in every way. As Always, Blessings your way from Oregon. ... Mike.

Corp, since the very first time that I saw you on RU-vid, your videos have all been bloody good. You give clear and concise instruction, which I take on board and use myself. Thank you, Sir!

Shawn- It’s hard to find a square, affordable tarp. What is the best configuration for tents using rectangular tarps? Maybe you can show Medium Sized Dude setting up various versions ?

Hey Corporal was watching a video today from, Way Point Survival and he did a Thrift store challenge similar to yours. And I got to thinking in Ohio we live in the Yard Sale Capital of the World 😁 LOL. What do you think about a Yard Sale Challenge where you shop for gear, for an overnight via Yard Sales?? It could be cool, never know what you're bound to find. I am a big fan and I love your videos I have watched them all or as many as I can find.

Excellent video, love the tart tent setup. Thanks for all the videos throughout the past years. I love your creativity and vision. I especially love the K.I.S.S. methodology used with common sense. Again, thank you. God Bless you and yours always. Charlie Wright. Salem Oregon.

Outstanding as usual, Sir. Nice and simple yet pretty comfortable. The shear lashing instruction was a nice touch.
