Best part about my sunday evenings is watching the corporal. Outstanding

I appreciate everything you said in this video. And you are definitely correct about people now or 15 years ago didn't invent this bushcraft. To me it is a recent fad people jumped on. This stuff has been done for couple centuries for people to live and survive. Was just a way of life for families to get by in life in a rural setting. Everything I've learned about being a true woodsman, which is wgat people called it before, not bushcraft. I was taught by my grandparents, my dad and my uncles , that grew up in the mountains in se Kentucky and West Virginia. I'm almost 60 yrs old now and learned so much from them. But I love your videos and dedication to teach people that probably were not as fortunate as me to have good woodsman teach me and hand me down their outdoor skills. Thank you Corporal.

Everyone acting like the world is about to end and you are living your best life just smoothing it 😎 Salute to you good sir outstanding

What made me a viewer is pure and honest. Your builds, attitude, positive mind set, and your channel isn’t based on gear and money but skill with less and affordable items. Do I wish your videos longer yes but do I understand the changes heck yes. But, that’s not going to change a damn thing from me as a viewer. I’m still going to watch! 🍻

I boils down to being authentic. The Corporal is authentic. People need real.

I believe what you are showing here with your survival videos, will make a difference to people's life. There is a whole lot of spooky stuff happening right now in the world. 5 years ago, this would just be conspiracy theories or even just another Rambo. However, if ever there was a time to prep, I think now is the time to do it. And people out there don't have these skills, they need to learn from someone. Being a camper is one thing, many think they have it down, could go bug out just fine. I thought like that too when in the gulf War, well its not at all like comfy glamping. With artillery over your head you hunker down on your face, you are terrified, scared to a point you can't move. No one knows this feeling of complete helplessness. You can be the biggest, toughest, strongest, most disciplined, but that's not what takes. It's emotional and you have to have endurance, size doesn't matter....how you look, what your fashion is, what your beliefs are... none of that will matter. What matters is knowing what to do to obtain palatable water, food and shelter from the elements...and how to defend off threats like wild animals. It's something instinctual , like when faced with these situations...a flash memory of us as more primitives in earlier past lives. We come from humans who survived the most harsh of conditions and only some of us can tap into that memory of our ancestors, we need to reach out and educate people today about how to survive out there with nothing. I think you corporal are doing a outstanding job of helping people learn the ways of the wild woods. I give you a huge Semper Fi! I'm Army Rangers, did about the same training as Marines. Keep up your great work Soldier, If you helped even one person.... you did your job in the eyes of the universe.

Fantastic as usual,,,, Steak 🥩 on a rock ,,, always,,,, If you ever get a chance to camp ⛺️ in a jungle,,, Bamboo,,,,, is used for everything ….. Fish 🐟 in bamboo,,,, excellent.🙃

Ok, I get it, you have not created anything new here. BUT you have kept these skills alive and introduced them to those both young and Old, who may have never been exposed to this before. Speaking for myself....You have reminded me of things I have forgotten, and showed me ways to refine my own skills. For this I thank you for what you do. Be good and Be safe.

I just love it when I get my notifications from Corporal and there's bacon in it. Makes me all warm and fuzzy lol

You have the best and detailed bush craft channel

Can't believe a week has come and almost gone,thats life in the fast lane,at least in the wild,you can take it nice and easy put your mind together and be one with your self,alway a pleasure watching my favorite survival program with my good buddy Shawn Kelly,peace be with you brother,enjoy what's left of the weekend

We look forward to Corporals Corner every weekend.

Corporal you are the best with a good sense of humor. You are appreciated

It is Sunday! I'm here for my fix! 😉😁❤

It's all been done before, but no one does it like the Corp! Bacon and ribeye on a rock. OUTSTANDING 👍🏻 🇬🇧

Well said Shawn, you have done well. you are genuine and honest.

So creative and unique set up. Didn't there was so many different ways to set up a survival shelter in the woods. Also great ways to safely set up a campfire without burning the shelter or the surrounding trees.

Loving the way this overnight is done without cord, without sleeping pad, or mess kit. Way to Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome!

Shawn mate , David here from Perth Western Australia, no matter what you do that has been done you are still different and you are still grown breaking you could say and you could go so far to say you have something not many others do, and thats enthusiasm and vision, partly because of your training and partly because of your fun and great way of looking at things . you make what you do look fun and simple (not easy) you show what needs to be shown and not bogged down in the small or repetitive stuff you show how just by opening your mind to what is infront of you , you can create something worth while and you show and prove not everything goes to plan and thats not a bad thing you dont get pissed about you see it as a new and exciting challenge and create something sometime better then you hoped but sometimes not as good as you hoped but still doable . you never let us down and i know for myself you have helped keep me sane (what little sanity i have left) and even though im ex ADF you have shown me things i didnt even think of so you have opened my mind . and isnt that what its all about and the rest is up to us if we enjoy your lessons to then go out and try it ourselves and see what we come up with and have fun. ive watched others but none are us excited or enthusiastic as you and none that i have watched have your skills and real life skills i might add or there just far too serious . your a legend keep up the good work my good friend

Happy 245th Corporal, as a Navy Corpsman I was honored to be invited to the 202nd celebration. An excellent meal, a bacon and cheese stuffed baked potato was the only thing missing. Another outstanding video, looking forward to future videos on this camp.

Awesome job man.... I keep watching as your videos comes in.!!

Nescafe is good stuff! I learned about them in the middle east on my last deployment. All of the locals drank Nescafe coffee, and I really enjoyed it. When I saw the brand I actually shouted out "Nescafe!" I need to get myself some of that.

Thats right baby do what your made for an PLEASE, PLEASE DONT GO NO WHERE! I have custody of my nephews 2yr old 6yr an 8yr old boys an we're obsessed with your knots an we have our adventures in the backyard. Just wanted to say Thanx an appreciate your adventures! Believe it or not you broke them out of there shell an they love your adventures!

My Grandfather once told me that "70% of your daily stress is work related. If you find a job you love, you got it beat". Keep doing what you do brother, Happy Birthday and SEMPER FI!!

I like it, minimalist survival

Good advice, IMO. My favorite YT content providers are part performer, part technical instruction. Add competent and understandable instruction or entertainment and it's a win for me! Keep on doing what you're doing...being Corporal AF!

I’ve been backpacking since the 70’s. It was until about 2 years ago that I discovered Bushcraft (I grew up in the city). There are so many ways to make a shelter! Just when I thought I’ve seen them all… BAM! I see a new one. I could watch you build the exact same shelter four times… Spring, Summer, Winter, and Fall!!

Well ole boy, heres some honesty, I've not been a big fan but do watch your vids weekly, tonight , your "talk" turned me into a loyal fan, you became the human being I suspected you were. It was by far the best few minutes I've watched you. Your sincerity and honesty won me over, my hats off to you and I sincerly wish you and your channel the best ever, oh one more thing, let's hear more of your "talks" well done ole boy well done

Your Killin my battery. Can't get enough of this show!

I’ve been asked “why go out into the wilderness by yourself”? I say”because I can”! With videos like these, it builds confidence. Develop skills and chores to stay busy day and night. Thanks

3 years later, and I'm binge watching Corp' s videos again! Great content!

There is NO ONE on U-TUBE as Honest and Forthright as you are!

No to Football, yes to Corporal

MEAT'S BACK ON THE MENU BOYS

Steak and bacon on a hot rock... doesn’t get any better than that! Outstanding Corpora Kelly!!!

You are a Legend, practical,skillful and experienced. Skills transfer to next level.Keep up this high quality edu videos

nice work with the sparks 2 light the gas never thought of that.

I Love ur vids keep up the good work man

To heck with notifications. If it is Sunday, there is Corporals Corner!

It’s been done before but somehow, you are the only one doing what you do tho. No one else teaches the way you do. Everyone else just wants to be like you.

Thanks for your service dude

Yes but you are the best at what you do. Your helping a lot of people.Thanks.

I must have missed this video. I know because I always have a thumbs up “Like” on the Corporals videos if I have seen it. Bonus for me!

Nice one corp, oh playing to the end and will watch your next video on the recommended! 😉

I'd have to say your channel is one of my favorites for outdoors. I reference your videos frequently and recommend it to others. You are very humble but at the same time very knowledgable Keep doing what you are doing sir! We appreciate you

Amen to that Corp, and wow. Amazing AF. Thank you for another great video

One of the things I like best here is the Corporal's rabid attention to detail in building his fires. I loved getting the fire going in my pappy's woodburning stove to warm the place up. It's a ritual that's been practiced for millennia and I miss being able to do it.

When I got to Vietnam I was issued a 2 quart soft canteen. I used it as a pillow by drinking a little over half the water and deflating it a bit so it was soft. I used it during my Army Reserve service later on for many years and gave it to my son in law who did 2 tours in Iraq with the Michigan National Guard. Other than my rifle it was my favorite piece of gear. You can still buy them on eBay.

I love your conversations with us. Makes us feel we are there having fun with you. Love your humor and Your wisdom. If we are ever driven from our homes because of current politics, we won't be sleeping on California sidewalks, but hopefully in a nice clean woodlands. We will pick a cabin out of our memories of watching your ideas. You may save our lives. That must be a great feeling for you! Thanks ! Corporal Kelly.

I know what you mean when you talk about leaving the Marine Corps and not belonging. I struggle with that loss of mission or sense of purpose too. Thanks for helping me realize I'm not the only one. S/F.

Conserving cordage is a really good point. Especially bank line.

Can't believe you're closing in on half a million subs. I've been watching since the beginning and it's awesome seeing you finally get the recognition you deserve and watching your channel progress. Outstanding, brother. Keep up the good work

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO ADVENTURE! NOW LET'S WAIT FOR A FAKE BIGFOOT FILM CREW TO COME BY AND "FIND AND FOOT PRINT" AND IT'S SHELTER! LOL...I DO THINK BIGFOOT IS OUT THERE, EVEN THOUGH THE FOOTAGE IS ALWAYS GRAINY OF COURSE. AWESOME QUICK, LOW RESORCE SHELTER IDEA. ALL WAYS THUMBS UP AF!

Nice Sir 👍

Steak & Bacon, 🐮& 🐷...Yummy!

I hope you receive as much joy and contentment as you provide others!!💖 Look forward to every Sunday for something new from you. Am excited to see what your "big plan" is going to be -- hope you build a permanent shelter.

Hey buddy, just wanted to let you know that RU-vid IS recommending your videos every Sunday on my feed so keep doing what you're doing Marine!!!

So glad that I came across your channel, it’s a stress relief. It takes my mind off of work. Working in the hospital during this pandemic it helps i just want you to know that. And as always thank you for your service.

Good to go CPL K👍👍 The "alternating limb, gravity wedge shelter"...Outstanding AF. Not a new idea, but haven't seen used in a while. Built these back in the day with pine boughs for shingles and bedding. Cooking on a rock..kinda popular here of lately on RU-vid, works great if the right rock is used. Steak and bacon, go figure... Well done!

Another good one. Another thing that makes a good “griddle” in a fire is the plate that goes under a railroad track that the spikes go through to hold the track down to the ties. I had to use one once years ago when some friends of mine and I went camping with very little gear. In the morning everyone was hungry, and we weren’t sure what we could do. At least we had our fishing poles. Caught and filleted a couple trout, and fried them up on that “griddle” after we scrubbed it off with river bank sand and had it laying in the rekindled fire. We had been camping near an abandoned railroad track. There was a loose section that we got the mount plate from. It worked out pretty well.

Glad I was on the ball

The wikiup is a tedious build, I've never tried it, so thank you for putting the work in! When my sons rotate home on leave and we go out, I always cook on a rock, they say just get a pan, I say the rock is the cavemans non stick pan and there is no better way to cook a steak! Corporal AF as always! Appreciate all your effort!

Never seen a shelter like this before!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! TY!!! Happy Birthday Marines!!

This was very labor intensive !!! I can't see this happening with younger kids. Denny H. 🤠🐕

You know something dude? That's the best advice so far given on RU-vid. Do your pwn thing. Great job as always. Peace my man!

Thanks corporal, I know Sunday is CCS: Corporals Corner Sunday.

Be Yourself, do what makes you happy!!...Outstanding AF Simple AF

I was camping in the woods and did that trick of holding the log in my legs like I seen you do man that makes it a lot easier

Corporal , you may not have revolutionized the world of bush craft as you say . But don't under value your contribution to it !

Cooking steak on a rock!! Now that's BA!! Viking Style. I love it man!

In Scotland, traditional bedding would be heather and your kilt/blanket on top and is surprisingly warm.

Listening to the sizzle of that steak and bacon on that rock brought back some awesome memories of camping in my youth. My brother and I used to do the same thing. Steaks, bacon, brats, dogs, burgers, baked potatoes, veggies in foil. Those were some good times.

Sundays without corporal, is like the sun behind the clouds just not right. Great video brother and your number one this week so i will play it through.

Semper Fi. Happy be lated birthday Cpl. Your not nasty your Hard core! You do the stuff, most talk or dream bout. That said i thank you... Got home from deer camp tonight. i AMAZED the camp with items I had and skills i learned from " CPL CORNER"

'Be yourself' thats probably the best advise you can give to anyone and everyone. Thank you for sharing and keep the videos coming! Reminds of my days in the army and hope to get my boys to join me on an outdoor camping trip soon.

Wow, when you said in the 25 years since you left the militry this is the first time you feel it's not a step down. I get that, and that's a long time to be lost brother I'm so happy you found what you love after army life that's amazing and inspirational

Thank you for the video corporal

Outstanding AF as usual, no, scratch that, you keep raising the bar buddy and getting better. 👍🇬🇧

That would most likely be the first wood shelter design mankind used. Simple and easy to set up. Draping some hides on the outside and now it's water proof and your own body heat will reflect and keep the shelter warmer.

I'm getting to this video late tonight. But, my sunday is not complete unless I watch the Corporal. That shelter is awesome AF. It's like a little teepee. Thanks again for all you teach. Have a great week. I'll be seeing you next time

2nd best part about Sunday.first is Jesus.awsome Corp.amazing video

Oorah to ya from Navy Hooyah Salute to you Vet!

Thanks for just being you. Best advice ever! That is what keeps me coming back....that and the bacon. I grew up camping with my parents, caving with my friends in down and drifted away from the outdoor recreation over the years. This channel among a few others has me back out in the woods again, for that I thank you!

Always humbled how all Marines maintain their pride the Corps and always celebrate it's birthday. Respect. Amazing to watch you build a Hilton in the woods. Great job

Keep doing what you’re doing... I’m inspired constantly and you have taught me things I will pass down to my kids... except for explaining “A.F.” of course... that will come later... cheers...

Great video thank you can't wait to see medium size dude again hope he's doing good in school

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY. I LEARN A LOT FROM YOUR VIDEOS. I AM LEAVING FLORIDA IN FEBRUARY TO LIVE AND TRAVEL IN MY VAN. I HAVE MANY OF YOUR RECIPES WRITTEN DOWN IN MY JOURNAL AND NOTES AND SKETCHES OF SHELTERS THAT YOU HAHE BUILT. IN MY TRAVELS I AM GOING TO GO OUT INTO THE WOODS AND BUILD SOME SHELTERS LIKE THE ONES YOU HAVE BUILT. I AM GOING TO LEAVE THEM UP SO WHEN SOMEONE IS OUT IN THAT AREA THEY CAN EXPERIENCE THESE TYPES OF SHELTERS. AT SOME SPOTS. I WILL CONSTRUCT MORE THAN ONE. THANK YOU MUCH. SEMPER FI.

Good YT advice! I'm just having fun doing what I do. Would I like more subs? Sure, but I don't do this for a living, just adds another interesting element to the stuff I'm doing outdoors anyway. I'm grateful for the 1500+ folks that take the time to watch every now and then. It's like a family.

Teaching is hard work hope it pays well

Another interesting video something to think about when I build my bug out bag

No you didn’t invent all this. But you make bushcraft available and understandable to thousands of people. (Even old ladies like me.). And you do it with heart and years of expertise. We are all grateful for your efforts to teach us the art of survival. Thank you.

You are different from the other people. That is what I enjoy about your videos. Please keep it coming out for us. Semper fi.

Couldn’t have said it any better man....that’s exactly how to go about the whole RU-vid thing....👍👍

I'm not a person who comments a lot on RU-vid and stuff but man, every Monday, first thing after work is watch your weekly video👍best video of the whole week! AF Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪 and keep up the good work!

Great advice and motivation. Glad you found your calling. I agree. This suits you well. I'm a beginner RU-vidr so this hit home with me, thanks.

i'd like to thank you corporal kelly for making such interesting vids,i've always had fun messing in the woods with my wife and dawg,nowadays im getting creaky but most of the things you show will save lives,you're an inspiration,your influencer page sends me to amazon where it tells me product is unavailable,maybe because i'm based in the uk,great to see the father son vids,your boy is pretty laid back but what a great way to learn skills,you are very supportive and a great teacher,no bull,and damn,your cooking leaves us drooling and reaching for the cholesterol meds,youtube should show more support to you.god bless and stay safe.

Shawn, RU-vid is actually notifying us of your videos.

Watching this video made me sweat just seeing The Corporal work that hard.

You sir are a mad scientist slash genius please keep this series going
