I love watching these videos. I'm a 65 year old woman...and other women can keep their stupid soap operas. This is where it's at. Entertaining and very informative. You're always thinking of something new. Thank you...keep on doing what you do.

Starting a fire with magic???? You've gone from corporal the grey to corporal the white. Great vid again.

We had a ginger bread house making contest today after church. My wife and I built a Bush craft survival shelter. I told everyone about your channel and how I got some ideas to make it look the way it did. We won 1st place. Merry Christmas, Sir.

The way you made the roof you could take he roof off if it isn't raining, build a 5' long fire pit in the middle, burn your fire all day in it and when it's bedtime cover it with dirt and put your roof back on. The coals will warm the dirt all night for you.

This is great. So many bushcraft videos, I spend the whole time yelling at my screen, "MAKE A MALLET!!"

New seasonal slogan: "If it ain't snowin', you ain't knowin"!" (c)

I swear this dude finds the most perfectly straight timber in every video. SHOW ME YOUR WAYS!!! I've tried everything to find such greatness. Shits harder than woodpecker lips.

I made my minimalist forts with a blanket thrown over the couch and coffee table mom never let me bring hot rocks into the house though but she would make me animal-shaped pancakes in the morning.

If it aint raining we aint training, and if it aint snowing we aint going! Outstanding AF!

Do you know what i like about this channel? We are not just going over the basics ad infinitum. All the different variations are explored. Some of the shelters are nothing but a bit of fun while others really make me sit up and take notes. I've been practising bushcraft for over 20 years and i thought i had seen everything that youtube had to offer but this channel is not only fun and not serious but it has genuinely inspired some of my own ideas and I have stolen a few of the Cpl's too. I am so grateful for this but also for the down to earth style and lack of stupid youtube click bait. Thanks Cpl Kelly.

Most bushcrafters on RU-vid it's look at my fancy steak look at my fancy equipment look at my fancy gear you it's something different and I really enjoy it ❤️

For the life of me, I cannot comprehend why people would give a thumbs down, their lives must be very miserable. I thoroughly enjoy the videos, and my camping days are done.

One of the best build ideas so far, has a lot of potential to be taken further. Outstanding AF!

Dude camping in the winter is never fun. Idk how you do it but thanks for being dedicated to your subscribers on this level.

I wish this was an elective in highschool.

My wife watches the news. I watch this. Which might come in handy some day?

Thermal mass heat is a concept we need to bring into our homes as well. As a life long tent camper I enjoy your show and learning something new each time.

So it could not have been timed any more perfectly, I was sipping a hot cup of coffee when your seasoning came up, I believe it was special s*** damn near spit out the coffee and was laughing out loud. Ironically I just was so bored the other day I actually watched Remo Williams. Love today's video and I'm so excited for your goal to go see Everest. I just watched a video called Wampler's ascent which is about a man with severe cerebral palsy climbing El Capitan. I hope you make it to the top of Everest. Go get some Marine.

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL....I work in EMS...I turn to the guy I was working with Wednesday the 23rd and say to him "You have to watch this guys videos he's got some good sh%t going on" (I show him my phone) ...he says to me "Shawn?...I've met him...he was an instructor in a class I took". and goes on to tell me about his experiences ...... That was my Christmas gift this year...there are many more of us out there then we can imagine with all different levels of skills trying to get better......and one day we will come together as "ONE"....God Bless everyone..and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

in the winter , my dad would have an old steel 5 gal. bucket, he would put some hot rocks in it and put it in our tent. it worked great. just rotate fire rocks part way through the night, so the tent would stay warm. he kept it up off the floor with a few sticks.

Bowline knot, truckers hitch, fisherman's knot, jam knot, marline spike hitch, clove hitch. You taught me everything I know about going "outside" outside

If you get a chance try Invader coffee out of Austin Texas veteran-owned

Got a suggestion for the thermal mass Corporal . Use your rocks as a base /platform under your fire . Light your fire. Get it Roaring. Let it "simmer down" , until it's ready to cook your goodies ( on top / or in ) . Feast on your meal. Transfer rocks to the channel in shelter. Just a thought . Cheers from Australia mate . C.A.F

Litterally the best bushcraft channel on RU-vid.

Here in the 🇬🇧 YT sent me your notification. YT are the pits. There is a site called Rumble which seems a better option. Parler Free Speech an alternative to Facebook....as I am sick and tired of the 🐂💩 censorship of both YT & FB. Stay safe one and all, 🎉🎅

Ya know corp...if your videos teach me one important thing!its to get out in the woods and don't be afraid to work hard!!!!merry Christmas and God bless you and your family my friend thank you for all the content......hardest working man on RU-vid!!!!!

A Remo Williams reference! LMAO! That's outstanding AF! I'm sure none of the younger viewers would understand that! You're awesome Corporal Kelly! Semper Fi

Just wanted to let you know that this video came up in the number one spot on RU-vid's recommended playlist... while I was on another channel's video! How's that for awesome?

REMO is an outstanding movie a real classic. Keep those pop culture references flowing.

The way he talks, I wish he officiated weddings. It would be clear and concise. He could also show people how to start fires in their suits and tux.

Everest!!! What a goal, take Middle Size Guy

Everything you do is so wonderfully innovative and well thought out. In any emergency, I feel that by following much of what you show us, I would have a good chance of surviving despite my age ( 75 yrs. ) Thanks.

Possible tip for your coffee setup (which I like): pour the grounds directly into your water transferring vessel to mix and steep the grounds with the water. After a few minutes immersed, use the pop up filter in the same way to transfer the coffee water to your drinking vessel slowly but surely. This will give you a stronger coffee with a more effective use of your coffee grounds. 🙏🏼✌🏼

Good stuff as usual. Like the idea of making the tarps into panels. Would keep the edges from getting whipped in the wind. Good to have dreams. Even better when you make them into realities.

I love this shelter and setup as you said I would like to see the trench inside longer and filled with coals then the rocks on top of those coals. Block both ends one with a wood wall covered in clay and the other with a wood door covered with clay. Then use a thermometer and see how warm it gets and how warm it stays overnight. Another great video my friend!

Wow, you conjured up some rain to prove the effectiveness of your shelter! Way to go the extra mile.

Someday we will have an advertisement disguised as an advertisement within an advertisement disguised as an advertisement.

the shelter and hobo meal were both outstanding af !!

I think the best heating design, I have seen so far, was in one of those primitive living videos. They built a shelter (took the time to bake clay tiles, if you can believe it), and made the shelter from them, on a basic wood frame. What impressed me about the heating system was, they build a small chimney at one end of the shelter. Dug a trench (similar to what was done here), through the shelter, up to the chimney. Covered the trench, with large flat rocks and them covered them with dirt. At the open end they built the fire. The heat was sucked into the trench and fed out of the chimney. Kind of a large rocket stove, and the heat radiated out of the trench to keep the shelter warm. Hopefully this might give you an idea, for a future shelter. I like what you did here and what you are planning to do next. I would love to see you go to Everest. However, if you go to the base, would you be able to live with yourself, for not trying to get to the top? They'd be dragging me off the mountain kicking and screaming, if I didn't at least try,

This guy is a master!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Love the hammer never seen that one before. But just curious could you create a frame for the tarps with out cordage by weaving the branches

Best part of this video is that hammer that is awesome dude

0:28 these shots are my favourites. here we see one happy corporal in his natural habitat.

Man, that was educational camp this week and bonus: this might be the coffee filter I've been looking for

Okay... I've been sitting here for over an hour, rubbing a stick with my fingers. No fire, but my hand is a bloody mess. What am I doing wrong? LOL okay, great shelter concept and implementation and yet another fantastic video.

Just ordered my first wood stove. And I’m gonna put some nice stones around it to create a thermal mass heater thanks for the idea! Always great content

9 million bonus points for the Remo Williams reference.

corporal you don't even need to put bacon in the title. We already know theres gonna' be bacon! Semper Fi!

Is it just me or does anybody else see these episodes also a cooking channel? 😊

Thanks for the video corporal.

Nice to see someone actually using rocks to heat a space.

I’m thinking you should write a book with your techniques, skills, and ideas. Everything from your shelters to your tools, to skills. It would be as awesome AF!

The weather is great today. Going to attempt the same bacon steak hobo meal deal out in my backyard fire pit!

Have you ever used a percolator coffee pot on your outdoor videos? If not I'm going to send one to you. My father still to this day has one. He loves the tastes of it. Love you brother.

I'd like to see you do more with the rocks. Add sides to the shelter, see how hot it will get and for how long

Great job man! After discovering people like you. I have no need for regular television😎

No Mate, Thank you. I have learned so much by watching your videos

You make some of the best forts and food! The corporal presents " Fire, forts, and food" cool video

Unless you live around the 5 -6,000’ elevation. I’d recommend climbing a nice peak in my neck of the woods, Mt Shasta. At 14,179, it is still below the elevation of both Mt Everest base camps. And if you experience altitude sickness you can get below 10,000’ by glissading down amazingly quickly.

Corporal Van Helsing with that hammer and stake! Great video and shelter 👍

Corps next merch on Teespring.........Tactical BACON!!!!!! *This is a registered trademark of Corporal AF Inc. Comes with its own rock to cook on, and a packet of Tact Cheese too. Love the vids Corp, keep em coming!!!

Remo Williams!!! Love the movie references. First thing I thought of was the finger board.

Nice hammer Nice emergency fort

As always, good stuff, but c’mon, “bacon steak hobo meal”? I thought hobos eat stuff like their shoes. What’s next, lobster scallop vagrant meal? 😆

I for one can't wait to see corporal conquer Everest, that would be outstanding! Can't wait for the adventures ahead, keep it up and I'll keep watching! T shirts are awesome btw, arrived this week and look fanatic!

Remo Williams...highly underrated movie! The ending filmed on a volcano in southern Mexico. Excellent video!

Great job! I'm sure with some walls built on that shelter those hot rocks will keep you nice and toasty in there.

USMC forever, but today is Happy 1st Birthday United States Space Force.

Hello from Oklahoma! Good video!👍👍👍 Thanks for all your hard work! Every video gives me ideas! Merry Christmas! God Bless!!

Every time I watch one of these videos I retain some skill or idea. That is why I watch this channel. Keep up the great work!

I understand your goal of Everest. I'm currently working to get in shape to hike to the top of Mt Fuji. We all need our personal goals in life. Outstanding.

I have never heard anyone reference remo williams that is one of the coolest movies ever you the hamburger has done its evil work

Like my brother khabib being daddy of his game!.. the outdoors is Shawn's domain! "The best in the business what you gonna do" 😛😄😉😎👍☝💯

All the videos on RU-vid about camping and making shelters this is absolutely and I do mean absolutely the best videos anywhere be safe brother

@Corporals Corner I'm so thrilled to see ya use old ways from back in the Trudor farm time in modern time. Yes Sir I love your hammer. I'm still looking in our trees for a rake...but unless it lands on the ground...I'm never going to get one. Due to our trees are clear up over your head (you are much taller than me ...you can laugh when I'm joking with you. ) but I've even taught my grandkids about how knowing how & doing things the old ways come in handy even now a days. Blessings!

BRO! Remo Williams was the STUFF! Master Chiun taught you well!

leaving a comment for the algorithm 👍 i can tell this ones gonna be good.

Everest IS the goal. Kudos to you sir. I've done some seriously minor stuff. Enjoyed it mostly, but live today for you young guys bombing it. Do it Jarhead.

That lean to has to be the best design ever. Your dinner looked awesome as well. Thanks for sharing and stay safe

Bro You don’t have to justify eating vegetables to RU-vid lol hope you make it to the top of mt Everest!

Wow that set-it-and-forget cooking method just rocks man. Question though please - how long did you leave the Alu Boat in the coals? Also that fire trick at 21:55 - how did you do it please? Great post. Thank you kindly.

Very good place for camping

Somebody asked me today if I watch TV and I told him no. I watch RU-vid videos. Better than TV and more interesting. I really like your videos. I have a few others I watch too. I wait eagerly for your stuff and theirs.

Awesome video. Since I’ve started watching CC my thinking has totally changed about the outdoors instead of man that would be a great place to camp. It’s now more like I bet there’s punk wood there and bow drill making materials. I currently have char wood making under my patio. Cheating a little doing it on my propane burner but if it works. Thanks for another great video Cpl Kelly

Remo Williams style...i would guess most people do not know who that is ...but you and i know he is the baddest man on the planet ...o k except for Chun....lol

I love watching you build shelters. Always great shelters and your cooking skills rival your bushcraft skills. Everything you make looks really good, makes me hungry.

Finally, an outdoors person who uses a lighter, just like me. The number of times I have seen some poor macho man trying to start a fire with a ferro rod or other gadget he is bought from some survival store, oh dear. Please do not misunderstand me, I also have different way of fire starting but a device that will give you up to 3000 flames has to be included. Great vlog sir, keep up the good work.

Vegan food is great! All you have to do is mix in a bit of meat and cheese and bake it for a while... ;-)

Merry Christmas to you and Little Man. GOD Bless.

Excellent job as always , very nice emergency fort. Supper looked great to, nice job. Happy Holidays, be safe, stay healthy, God Bless everyone.

Again Corporal you amaze me all the time, that was an educational video, you used what was available to you, that meant wood, rocks, earth and whatnot, outstanding! And I liked you magic trick with the match behind the piece of wood! lol

Just in case no one else said it, ‘If it ain’t snowin we ain’t trainin!’

rocks had been being used since the begining of the country they heated them while trapping and burried them for the night the heat radiated all night

Corporal Corner... You totally rock brother! Awesome video! I'm a RU-vidr from the Pacific Northwest. I love all your videos... Keep grinding on that outdoor adventure life! your friend Daniel

This is awesome

If this gets too long let me apologize in advance. I want you to see all your dreams come true. Mt. Everest is no joke bro. we are talking multiple elevation changes. (the last one is called "the dead zone") we are talking ice climbing. I've seen you repel. (that knowledge is a definate plus.) your strength (upperbody essential) your knowledge on survival all these are needed and more. before even going get ice climbing gear and practice walking on sideways ladders, as you will be doing this over some seriously deep cravasses. Just promise us that you will train hard, listen to your Sherpa and know your safe journey and return will be prayed for. :-) OH YEAH... Promise us a picture of the CorporalAF logo on the top of the world. that would be AWESOME A F!!! Peace, Love and Bacon, Squirrell

Outstanding AF 👋

Remo Williams reference \m/ AWESOME. \m/

I'd like to see another video with this setup possibly using a Dakota fire hole type setup. This would keep the fire low. To trap the heat though at least 1 more wall would need to be built. Maybe to the prevailing wind side. Just an idea. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
