People who may feel that the 60L pack is too big aren't packing enough bacon.

Awesome job! I've been working with my son doing bushcraft and outdoor camping since he was about 5 years old. He just turned 33 and thanks to your efforts we are still spending every opportunity we have doing bushcraft and camping activities. Now my 6 year old grandson has joined us. Thank you for your service, being an old Marine myself I completely get where you are coming from and I really enjoy your shows and so does my son and grandson. Thank you ! Simply OUTSTANDING!

Just a word of thanks. You have inspired my 12 year old son to learn knots and set up shelters during this quarantine. He's out in the field testing his newfound knowledge in the natural acreage around our property. As a result I've spent a few nights camping with him in his shelters in eyesight of the house. He cant wait to go on some real camping trips once the lockdown is lifted.

God-bless your Corporal. Remember everyone deployed. God bless you all. 🇺🇸 All the way. 173rd

I really appreciate the techniques (knot tying, fire starting, etc., that you incorporate over again in each video that you’ve shown us. Thanks ,

The best combo of food groups ever bacon, potato and cheese.

“...even the big ones need love...”. Between that and the movie quotes, I’m I’m dying laughing. My wife thought I’d gone round the bend when she found me in the yard today, raking with a three-tined, dead branch off of one of our apple trees. I had to try it out. Outstanding. Keep up the great work!

An apple a day keeps the Dr away, but an onion a day keeps everyone away.

I love ur unapologetic attitude. It is so refreshing.

When you said bacon ! It was like heavens gates opened up and the angels sang in harmony lol great video as always brother. I just said to the wife corporal Kelly should be having a new video soon and within the hour there you were.stay safe and thank you from all of us

I am no longer convinced that the Corporal knows how to cook anything that _doesn't_ contain bacon

Just to put this all together in one sentence: "I'm thinkin': we're good to go AF" 😅💪 Thanks for your service 👍

Really liking this series of natural shelters. Useful and creative. Well done.

I always enjoy this guys stuff…..Interesting and well presented👍

I was going through depression until I found you and you showed me how to do all the knots and everything I've been watching you for about 7 years

Always interesting and informative content. Outstanding AF. Thank you.

The ready made shelter, equals less calories burnt and more rest. All essential in a survival situation.

I clicked on this video just to get a look at that loaded potato

You survived brother and had fun, that's what it's all about, good job

My all time favorite video from Corporal Corner, I watch this video when I'm down and out and nothing to do, you could say it's my picker upper, Thank you Shawn. JJ.

Where's all the damn critters, Corporal?! If I did this in here in Australia, I would have died from multiple spider and snake bites before dark...

Are you kidding me? This guys in the middle of nowhere, finds this broken tree... He just Man’d up, turned this life ending scenario into a five star hotel and made a Michelin star meal out of nothing, AWESOME!!

Having camped in the woods in PENNA since I was a kid I'm a fan of tents in trees or at least somewhere off the ground. Most of the critters, bugs, and water are "down there". Very unique video and a treat to watch Corporal. Thank you.

Yesterday, -14 f. Today -6 f. Tonight +2 f. And while I’ve subscribed and watch your videos darn near daily now, there’s always 1 or 2 I haven’t seen because - you know - late to the party and all, and I really appreciate the out of the box thinking and techniques I learn on how to survive different situations outdoors, I can’t help but feel for my fellow man (and or woman) who is homeless and having to endure this Siberian heat wave we are currently in the midst of. Believe me Corporal, I am praying for them. I can’t imagine being forced to endure like that by Mother Nature herself. They are, and definitely don’t have the lux we might have. I think I’m going to find someone who is and give them one of my Mr buddy heaters and a few 1 lbs . As always Corporal, keep up the good works and thank you for doing what you do.

Outstanding loaded potato!! Innovative shelter!

I wouldn't change one thing!! What you're doing is awesome..I love watching..Thx

If you live in the south, particularly, I'm sure you're already familiar. However, I think it bears repeating that if you're cleaning dead leaves and debris out of an old hollowed out tree or anywhere else, you'll want to use a stick or something to move that stuff out. Dangerous, bitey things like to live in those places, too. You get tagged on the finger/hand/chest/arm/face by a rattler or a moccasin hiding in there, rain and sleep will be the least of your worries way out in the woods. Be smart, stay safe.

I remember these days well. The factory closed and we ended up living in the woods for a few weeks. Once you have done that, you realize how self sufficient you can become.Made the tent out of discarded trash bags.The hunger was the hardest part.Other than that it made for a good lesson never to be broke again.

Id go camping with you anytime! Give me a tarp some bungie cords and a Harley and watch me go!! Im go at making Harley tarp tents! I love the sound of that rain!

Great stuff but ... look out for creepie crawlies in the nooks & crannies of them fallen trees. Ticks included. Stay safe bro.

I don't know why people don't like bag and leaves idea, I think it's excellent! There's nothing more annoying than carrying a roll mat and blow-up mats are cold, slippy and prone to punctures

Were you an outdoor chef in a previous life? Best camp meals on the internet! Outstanding AF

"If it ain't raining we ain't training "

Already knew you were ex-military after you said “if it ain’t rainin we ain’t trainin” haha

When he said “ At Corporals we’re guaranteed to kill you or your money back.” I lost it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Watching from 🇬🇧 thankyou for your videos very calming and peaceful

Unlike some others if he doesn't like something he says so. I like that

Looks way more comfy than some thin foam stiff pad, love it

So... I decided rewatch this video and took a shot every time he said outstanding and now I too feel outstanding.

You Tube Is a better Channel for having showstoppers like Corporals Corner teaching Survival and Camping Skills

Hey, bud. If people are complaining about you not using a cot or a mattress, let them buy you a mattress. You have plenty of people watching your videos and we enjoy them just fine. I love the idea of the heavy-duty garbage bags. Don't let a squeaky, albeit vocal minority make you change what most of us have no problem with.

Best part of the week brother besides spending time with Jesus and being outside! But man down walked around 3 days with appendix ruptured on the mend now so these definitely help when a man can’t get out! Dang what a tater I know what I’m making in a week!

I may have the solution to your coffee conundrum- I carry a stainless steel spring-loaded tea infuser I 'borrowed' from my wife- it's basically a mesh ball split in two with a handle that is also a spring to keep it all closed that is fine enough I can use it with coarse ground coffee of my choosing to make a cup at a time... lightweight, cheap, and saves me using bitter nasty instant coffee! Just look up tea ball strainers or 'mesh snap ball' on Amazon

Yes, the big packs do need love too. It has been my experience that the big packs give the most and best love in return.

Pretty good stuff. I would have put up some dry wood before the rain started for in the AM personally.

Whooooo weeeee! You took a bite out of that onion, I hollered out loud! I love onion, but not THAT much!

You should consider selling the rakes. Just remember how successful the pet rock was, Just saying. Thank you for dropping free knowledge on us in a way that even an idiot can understand without talking down to us like we are idiots. Since you are giving knowledge away for free I do not get why anyone would complain about you self promoting, you also promote other people which most other self promoting people would never do.

I was fortunate as a young kid and had one of the coolest trees in a forest that border my property. The tree was very old and about 8 ft dia about 2 ft up from base. But it was hollow inside up to about 10 ft up. It was big enough inside it for 4 kids to sit inside. Or 2 for camping in it. For about 3 years we had the best childhood a kid could have. Freedom to explore the woods

love your show!!! I'm 84 years old, and wish I was there with you! you make it all look so easy! Thanks for the memory Corporal!!!

The people complaining about anything in this video have become too civilized

It’s nice to see integrity by both the host and the followers. It’s way to easy to type insults, yet harder to refrain.

That potato looked DELICIOUS!! No better sleep than listening to rain on a tent. Love your vids!

In grade school (I'm 71 now) some guy s bet me I couldn't eat an onion, I ate it like an apple and I think it was over a dollar I made, that's a lot of lunch money to a kid in 1961. Survival is life.

"60 L is too much pack" Corporal- "the big ones need love too" lmao!

For coffee when camping, I bring regular coffee put a teaspoon of coffee in a cup add water, and bring to a boil. Just like Great Grandpa used to make. I like to let it boil for a minute, I like my coffee stong.

If the coffee is bitter, add a couple shakes of salt. It really does take the bitterness out.

Nescafe is the worst. I have no idea why South America thinks that is what coffee should taste like. I'd rather drink four hours old Yuban in a Wyoming truck stop. Oh, Browse beds....my thought was, gee, two of those made out of leather, and you'd have what nomadic tribes must have used for centuries. Oh and...Swiss Family Robinson, I went through a phase where that was my favorite book, I loved everything about it, including the semi stilted, formal way it was written.

I just found your Channel today and I really enjoyed this video awesome Camp awesome dinner looking forward to more

Man! I wish I was half as knowledgeable as Corporal Kelly! Thank you for these awesome videos🙏🏻

Totally cool except for the bacon, then again I don't think I have ever eaten at Windy's. Great attitude. Where did you get that rake? I love the "Leave No Trace" method of covering your mess by emptying a bag of leaves!

I think I would want a bigger tarp blanket, least couple more feet.

@11:07 when you've been in the woods to long ...

Like all the techniques. A few ideas to add; maybe add a clear painter sheet to protect from insects. A little bit longer tarp, chocolate to coffee for sure. Good channel. Personal quiet time, feeds the soul.

"Take that coronavirus"

I think being 6 foot 5 and 270 my chances of being able to do this are slim to none! Cool video though!

Please keep making browse beds!! I watch you to learn survival skills, not backpacking. I want to see you use nature as your material!! I don't want to rely on having some man-made object. What happens if it fails? You can always make a browse bed! Stay safe!

Quickly becoming my favorite channel. Easy to see why his channel is blowing up. ❤🙏

If it ain’t Rainin then you ain’t Trainin!! Keep it up bro love ur vidz and learn plenty. Peace Fam

Awesome idea for the shelter. Although that kind of set up in my area you would be a all night snack for ticks.

As a former UK Royal Marine, I love these vids. I spent time in the Jungle s of Borneo and spent nights out in the Monsoon rains. Cover is vital and this was a good example of using the resources around you. We used to use Parachute hammocks made out of old nylon, this got us off the ground away from the creepy crawlies😕😕😕😕.

Shawn! Longtime sub here. This popped up in my feed. Watched it again and enjoyed it even more. Can’t smash the “LIKE” thumbs👍 because I already did. I’m looking forward to your mid-week video’s

you should start a second channel called Corporals kitchen! food is great!

i have noticed all these wild camping and survival videos no one has ever said anything about where you chose for your fire , and the risks in picking your fire location can be , root fires are a big risk to woodlands ,and also compacted fine needles ,which both can course underground fires which can flare up upto 4 months later , and this should be addressed specially for people just wanting to get into the field for first time

Would you please write a cookbook called Corporal's Kitchen or something? Your bonfire food is next level. Awesome videos.

Dude: you must be the "sargent peterson" of your unit... With those kinds of skills, your guys must never lack for a stout bivouac at night or chow to keep them going. You, sir are a master!!!

I like the browse bed idea.. and your logic is true... good insulation, good for the area and fire safety, easy to set up... and cost efficient, not having to buy, and carry a pad or air mattress. anyone wanting more is either being fussy and elitist about carrying fancy gear, or just wanting to find something to fuss about

Everyone in the comments talking shit is just upset they don’t have a potato

Shalom Aleichem. These survival tips are fine and dandy fir young in fit people, but they'll never work for us old broken farts. Also those fire's are nice, but won't last long. Do you get up every couple of hours to restoke it or just let it die overnight? You must have one hell of a warm sleeping bag because there's no way that fire is gonna keep you warm all night? Ratson haba b'shem YaHuah

I work in a lumber yard. So I have 2 8x10 lumber tarps. And I use button rocks to tie them down. It works quite well. White side out when hot, black side out when cold.

"If it ain't raining, then we ain't training" cool concept for a youtube channel. SUBBED

11.04 want to touch the honey....... this is a man that has been in the woods TOO long! HAHAHAHA

"we're gonna spend the night in a dead tree, childhood dream", I'm guessing we had very different childhoods!

I've found an easy way to bag leaves is to stand with your heals holding the mouth of the bag open behind you, bend over and scoop a pile in front of you between your legs. You can get both hands on the pile that way and push much more in with less effort.

"Corporal family Robinson " I lost it when you said that 🤣

29:20 A weapon is only as dangerous as the hand wielding it

Watching this, sitting out around the fire. My idea of a peaceful afternoon...

How about a series on using two tarps. Tarps you buy at lowes, home depot etc. What size is best? What thickness? Can you use one tarp for a hammock or a suspended bend with a frame? How to hide the tarp shelter? Length of line to carry? Speed to assemble?

That tree was thiccccc

You seem to actively avoid sponsorships on your videos.. which is highly applauded. But you definitely need to hit up Black Rifle Coffee Co.. no doubt they would pay you to drink their coffee given the size of your fanbase. It pained me to watch you drink that nescafe crap 🤣

In Russia, we also love to bake potatoes in a fire. But we do it without foil. And we often eat burnt crust. As a child, potatoes baked on a fire was a favorite food.

You are very entertaining . Your confidence is contagious.

Here I'm 10 months later watching again🤚🥩🇵🇷

You do you Devil Dog..If people don't like how you do things, they do not have to watch.. Personally I like your videos, they are well thought out and convey the knowledge quickly and concisely. Semper Fi

We have the best infrastructure & all the technological advancements but we find peace in the nature. That's the beauty of it.

Counselor at Camp Crystal Lake 😆🤣😂 it’s obvious how you survived.. another outstanding show.

Do you have a wife? You should definitely make a video with her out in the wilderness. I bet your female audience would find that some great content! Love your videos!

Have you ever had a snake decide your outside bed was a good place for them also?

1:11 Enough poison ivy to make you itch for a year.

Always liked this one. The kind of downed tree you don't want to camp under, but on? Oh yeah . . .
