Heh, sleeping that close to a fire with a bellyful of beans, I see you still enjoy living on the edge.

After several weeks of watching this channel, I assembled a "pack" for myself and decided to try an overnight. My son in law has 22 acres with a little patch of woods on the rear of the property, located in Central Kentucky. I arrived around noon, trekked about 1/2 mile back and found a place to set up camp. After setting up my lean to, using "Quick Deploy Ridge Line", I built my wind screen by cutting seven or eight trees. It wasn't exactly what Corporal Kelly would call "Excellent" or Good to go", but it wasn't bad for my first time. The leaves were to wet to used my trash bags as Grouse bags, so I just laid my sleeping bag on top of them. I then started about the task of gathering firewood. My son in law arrived about 4:30 pm. We set up his tarp as a lean to. Once again, using the QPRL. Since I am out of shape and the tree cutting and hauling wore me out, I let him collect the rest of the firewood. I will spare the details of the meal. (No Bacon, though) We were warm for most of the evening until it got to 27 degrees and most of the firewood was gone. (Hint: we you think you have enough go get the same amount or more). I was fine in my Ol School Coleman, but Cody just had a bag that was rated for 50 degrees or so. Poor guy nearly froze to death and was up all night stoking the fire, which was fine with me because there were some coyotes just across the creek. MY only request is for a video showing how to set up for two people. We had our lean to's facing each other and the wind screen running perpendicular between us at out heads. All in all, I had a great time and didn't fare too badly for an out of shape, overweight 62 year old. I did find out I NEED a good, lightweight sleeping bag, a sleeping pad and more comfortable boots. (I wore my slip on Cowboy Boots). Thank you Corporal Kelly for you inspiring videos. I will definitely be going back out again. Maybe with some Bacon.

As an audio engineer, I can tell you, that the audio mixing/sound quality in this video was amazing. Almost ASMR level of detail, tone, etc. The older 30+ minute videos, and the longer commentary and shooting the sh$t, the more formal/detailed descriptions and thorough breakdowns of your actions, I really enjoy those things. Thanks for many years of great content. My daughter and I love watching you, she has grown up with you as a role model. Wishing you the best Corporal.

Folgers has real coffee in tea bags that are awesome and easy. Each bag is individually vacuum sealed. Heat your water, dip your bag and enjoy.

Everything taste better in the woods.

I like the fact that you're outdoors doing something instead of a 2 minute video on how not to run with a sharp stick. OUTSTANDING...

I immediately subscribed when you said, "knowing me and my channel, it usually has to do with bacon." Well said, sir.

Hi Corporal Bacon......love your videos.....bacon at the top of the food chain...yum yum....I learn so much from watching your videos....I am 73 and had a stroke and can not do what you do anymore but it is refreshing to watch you teaching survival skills...…..

Possibly your best video ever, and you've had some awesome ones. I think humor is the magic ingredient, not only for you in your videos, but also for anyone out in the woods like that. Outstanding work! 👍

Have you ever thought of entering for the true survivor series, Alone from the History channel? With your skills, it would be a no-brainer for you. Plus, it would be awesome to root for a person we know. Nothing beats beannies and weenies for happy tummy syndrome on a cool night. Great idea for teaching techniques with the overnights! We'll keep watching! Thank you for sharing a part of your day with us!

It pays to have watched many of your earlier videos because you do an outstanding job of showing the techniques you’ve been teaching all along the way. Choosing a site, hanging your bag, the three prong rake, clearing your site, setting the ridgeline with a timber and truckers hitch, pulling the tarp right with prussiks, staking the tarp and sealing with leaves... and on and on. Constantly using the skills you teach. When you first raked up the leaves I thot you were going to stuff them in one of those heavy duty plastic bags you’ve used before and make a mattress. In the morning when you woke up, I could hear the “rough night” in your voice. Dead tired but can’t get comfortable... I hate those nights. Daybreak can’t get there quickly enough. Another great video CK..! Thank you!!

My very fave camp coffee: Folgers Coffee Singles. Real ground coffee in tea bag containers. They are single serving. Toss in cold water and it’s ready when the water is hot. Put used bag in camp fire or bury - actually good for the soil. SECOND fave: General Foods flavored instant - various flavors, pre-sweetened, etc. and comes in single serving like your Tasters Choice (or at least it used to). Great vid - I’ve never tried a wind screen like you built - thanks for the hint and the camp recipe. Ray, near Durango.

Medaglia D'oro espresso instant coffee. extra concentrated, long shelf life, & Flavor.

Black Rifle has an instant coffee coming out soon in the drink packet tubes like you had there. Probably your best chance at a good instant.

Black Rifle Coffee makes an instant coffee.

"Gonna sit here and enjoy my coffee." - EXACTLY.

Instant coffee that is GREAT: the Asian markets all carry 3-in-1 coffee. It's coffee, sugar, and cream all in one and it is fkn LEGIT. They are single serve dry packs that will last years in a pack. I keep them in my bag at all times. If you don't have asian markets in your area, let me know. I will grab you a supply and ship it to you.

I’m glad you are sticking with the overnighters! I feel like I retain more knowledge in this format. Also it’s a little more personal and really shows your humble side. BTW, I’m still waiting to see a VR from Mr Wowak, but I imagine he’s probably a couple of sixes deep in that crappy Keystone Light and I expect he will respond after some Aleve. Thanks for all you do, stay safe brother, and God Bless.

I used to crave my “candy coffee” full of sugar and creamer. But lately I learned to enjoy it “hot, strong, and black”. My solution to camping coffee is Turkish coffee. It’s super fine ground coffee beans. you just simmer a heaping tablespoon in some water until it foams up. Let the fine grounds settle and pour into a cup (or sip carefully to not stir up the grounds). Could be done in your empty bean cans so no special equipment needed!

Glad your here to stay ,never know when we're going to need these skills , thank you for sharing them , may come in handy real soon , thanks corporal

LOL! I don't know why, but your dinner reminded me of the scene of the cowboys eating beans in "Blazing Saddles"! 🤣

Ah, bacon???? Additionally screw coffee - go for a flask of whiskey and a stogie. That would be outstanding :-))). Thanks for sharing!

I am relatively new to your channel and I am a homeschooling dad (not like the crazy religious or anarchist homeschool) We were unsatisfied with our school system and I now have the opportunity to teach my children while in between colleges and my wife is a public school teacher. I have used your channel and others to create a program to teach my children outdoorsmanship and it has been fantastic! Thank you for what you do!

Coffee: I tested many types of instant coffee and have been using Bustelo Supreme in the jar (Target) on a daily basis and Bustelo yellow packets for camp (also Target).

After those beans and hot dogs....you may be feeling a draft shortly.

Going back and rewatching your videos man forgot about this pack setup love this video

Buy a cheap spool of twine or thin rope and practice your knot tying along with Corporal while watching these videos. Easy excuse to practice those knots over and over, until tying them is second nature.

I use a tea infuser (also known as a tea ball) and regular ground coffee. The tea infuser is about the size of a 35mm film can so it doesn't take space or weight. With the tea infuser you can use any coffee you like. Give it a try and you won't drink instant coffee again.

Folgers coffee singles , real coffee in tea bags. I like them better than instant.

Beans and franks? You have to fry the franks first! Slice them up as you did but then fry them up good and it releases the awesome hot dog flavor. Then add in the peppers onions then a bit later the beans.

Black Rifle Coffee Company; took their coffee with me on my last deployment and it was fantastic ... BUT ... I just throw the ground coffee into the pot of water and boil... when done add a pinch of salt to get the grounds to settle and enjoy the brew ...

Like you, I’ve been looking for a good tasting instant coffee. Don’t think they have little packets but I really like Medaglia D’Oro instant espresso. Put it in those little snack baggies for pack trips. Haven’t tried the Black Rifle yet but plan on it. Appreciate your tips and really like the way you regularly show how to tie your knots in slow steps even if you’ve shown them many times. 👍

Hey Man, really enjoy the videos. I have a request, can you think about producing a video incorporating one-handed techniques, or methods to utilize in the event of an injury and you have to get through the night before you can bug back home? Thanks and keep up the good work!

Bustelo brand espresso coffee it comes in an instant espresso version. The packaging is yellow and red. It's a brand popular with Hispanics. I know target carries it. It's the best. If you don't enjoy it I'll reimburse you for it lol that's how confident I am you'll like it. Hope you try it. Love your channel been watching for a few years.

Black Powder instant coffee from Black Rifle Coffee Co.

Thanks Shawn looking forward to the weekly solo again thanks for taking the time

Black Rifle coffee it's called "black powder"

Good thing that you're in a lean to. An enclosed space with those beans... KABOOM!!! Looks delish though!

24:23- shows temperature to rub it in that it is perfect weather for sleeping outdoors. Great video, Semper-Fi!!!

Check out Black Rifle Coffee Company’s Black Powder. It’s their instant. It amazingly tastes like real brewed coffee.

Well it says the comment did not go through, but to this old 7th Fleet sailor, the best way out of your predicament is to use REAL coffee. One Tablespoon per two cups or one mug. You can either cook the coffee in your canteen and filter it through a sheet of a paper towel into your mug, or just make the paper towel into a little pocket over your mug, put the coffee in the middle and pour hot water from your canteen over it. Either way real coffee this way is ten time better than instant any way - and this is coming from a former forward deployed steaming, screaming E5 Gunners Mate who runs exclusively on high octane black coffee.

Yet another outstanding instructional video. Carry on.

maxwell house isn't terrible instant coffee and as an old infantryman myself I still enjoy solo camping. however now I have a pickup with a camper shell and a 6" foam mattress. Now I carry a chair, cooler and mr buddy heater and anything else I wish. I enjoy your videos. HOOAH!

the cooking is always my favorite part of these videos! i like it so much i started a series in my channel where i just cook in the wilderness!

Try Black Rifle instant coffee, you can order it off their website.

That was great, Shawn. I'd love to see more of this pack in action. Thanks for bringing us along!

Let me just say from one vet to another thank you for your service. I enjoy your content very much, especially now with your playful banter with a touch of humility 😏😏😏... keep up the good work marine!

I’ve had every kind of instant coffee. They are all various grades of bad with Starbucks Via being the least bad. You should really try Kuju Coffee Pour Overs. They’re packaged as a paper board funnel like coffee filter that you place on top of your cup and pour your water through. Single use and disposable.Get them on Amazon. You will be grateful. Try them and do a review of them called “In search of good bug out coffee”!

Starbucks VIA Instant Coffee is really good. A lot better than the Folgers or Maxwell House instant coffee. I took a bunch of it out to Arizona when it first came out. I think you can still get it at Target or Walmart. Think they have about 4 different types of roasts to choose from.

Another brilliant build. Thankyou corporal.

I'm an absolute newbie, and absolutely love your channel, packed full of useful tips and techniques. Like cutting that branch while securing it between the crux of your knee, priceless. Thanks from the UK

"Outstanding."

Get coffee bags, real coffee in like a tea bag. Folgers calls them coffee singles. Just add hot water and let brew. Real coffee, not instant.

Thanks for the vid. Have bee learning the 4 basic knots for about 6 months. Was going to tie the flash light up on clothes line to shine down on what i was working on when it hit me, use what you've learned on knot tying from corporal and black hat, so now they are re becoming internalized and owned when used in other instances. Thank you once again.

CC, just received my pack. I am very impressed with the quality of this pack. Of all the ones I have it is 1st above all. Perfect size . Thank you for sharing this with us.

My question is about firewood. I have no idea why so many saw and chop firewood when in a forest. For 40 years i've collected dead wood just as in this video and then break it down in a tree crotch or between two close growing trees or simply smack it on a tree or rock. Dont you save the sawing and chopping for more crafting projects?

Thanks for going over the same knot techniques in all of your videos. It really drives it home to stick in my head so that when I go out in the field I can say ok.....how would corporal do that knot. I need to get in the woods and practice more. Fires and camp set up are on point not to mention your cooking....if I was in your class I'd be like alright corporal what can we do with this spam I brought.....(Corporal)...good to go....now watch this....Spam burger....fried bacon spam egg and cheese....boom. outstanding....

Excellent! Thanks for taking us along for the ride👍

Put your coffee grounds in a tea bag. Makes great coffee. Light weight and all you need to do is add hot water

Most people will say Starbucks via, I find it to just be brown water. Medaglia D’odoro instant espresso is my go to.

Black rifle coffee company has instant coffee packs

I want to go camping now. It reminds me when my dad and I went we had a great time.

I am knot impressed. Absolutely excellent video!

Black Rifle Coffee Company veteran own and operated

The starbucks instant coffees are good, I took them on a 70 mile back country hike. and they did a good job

For coffee. You can carry a second water bottle filled with coffee from the house then reheat it over the fire. Sure, it takes up more room and weighs a lot more than instant coffee packs but you have to decide just how much you like your coffee. 32 ounces will give you 3 to 5 cups of coffee ( sorta depends on your definition of "Cup"). Or you can go smaller on the bottle. Plus, I learned long ago a plain and simple truth. Cold coffee is a whole lot better than NO coffee, if for some reason you don't have time or luxury of a fire.Itseems like I remember that, I think it was Folgers, had coffee grounds in bags, like tea bags, at one time. If you can find them, boil the water, throw in the bag (or 2), let it steep for a bit, pull out the bag and you're good to go. When you're done, split the bags, scatter the grounds and throw the bag, tag and string on the fire. You can also use this method and several bags for refilling the second bottle if/when the opportunity presents itself over extended periods.Then there is Cowboy coffee. . . Personally, I don't care for chewable coffee. And most times, it will be.Thanks for the videos, Take care.

I gotta say, I just found your channel a week or so ago and I'm really enjoying it! Thanks for doing these videos for us.

....sound as a pound. “The coffee is black.” Response : “The geese are over Norway.”

Hate to say it. But Starbucks is the best instant coffee I can find.

You are so confident and comfortable with your self I love that about you!!

Thanks for another outstanding video, Shawn. Appreciate your style; laid back.

Bacon, eggs, beans, What's not to like? In my younger days, it's been bread and roasted squirrel. And if you don;t know there is damned little meat on a squirrel.

What about Cowboy Coffee 👌

love the knots! i always forget them so its good to refresh

My Mother used to talk about nitrites in food products back in the 70s long before most people had heard of them. She's 84 and still going strong.

First...I like my coffee like I like my women...hot...black and full of alcohol! Ha! Buddy...I have the solution to your coffee needs...been on this hunt as well...Alpine Start is BY FAR the best I’ve ever had. You’ll love it! About $1 per serving.

Starbucks for instant coffee is the best I’ve found so far. They have a variety of blends to choose from to.

Im loving the new platform 👍🏻 totally agree with everything you said in the intro 🤗

If you want some good coffee, hit up Black Rifle Coffee Company. Veteran owned and operated. They may not have anything readily available for your camping/bug out needs, but you might be able to actually talk to them and they may be able to help you out for that.

Anything but starbucks. Anything!

@blackriflecoffee where you at???

Learning a lot from you,, excellent work cpl

these videos are my favorite, so positive, entertaining, relaxing and informative

I've been eyeballing the Klymit Static V Luxe sleeping pad. It's made for bigger guys. It's 3 inches thick when inflated and also comes in an insulated version. They're a bit pricey, but I've had a hard time finding something that is comfortable for my old bones so I'm about ready to throw down the coin to try one.

Corporal, I suggest you try Starbucks Via instant w/micro-ground coffee. I buy it at Kroger or Costco. Small packets. It comes in different roasts. I usually get columbia. I like my coffee black. This stuff has lots of flavor. Semper Fi!

Black Rifle Coffee instant packets--good stuff.

Really like this overnight format. Looking forward to more.

Invest in a coffee percolator... there’s no such thing as good instant coffee.

if youre dead , you cant buy these ... lmfao

You and Dave are the best videos to watch in my opinion. My reason is because you guys are actually out there DOING the work and staying the night out there and teaching people in classes. Big difference in talking and doing. Thank you for your work sir! 🤘🇺🇸💪

Really enjoy your site! I was an Air Force survival intructor '55 - '58 at Stead AFB in Reno!! did LOTS of camping!!It's amazing all the things you can make from a parachute!h

Another outstanding video! It looks like my backyard out there. Looks like way too much fun! Keep it up!

The Corporal's videos are always spot on.

I watched some hiker guy recently who was showing his food supply - he was eating all kinds of interesting things like Salmon, Ghee, and some super gourmet coffee...I will see his name again and remember you. I enjoy your videos. In the meantime, Medaglio D'Oro instant comes in a real small bottle and I love it. For a lighter coffee I like Starbucks Via Veranda Blonde, which you can buy in individual packets, but the real Veranda brewed is just amazing. Thanks for all you do. Greetings from Vermont.

Great one Corporal, thanks again.

another great video, thank you! Consider filling contractor trash bags with leaves and use as mattress

Coffee also comes in a tea style drop into boiling water and drink... depending on how strong you like your coffee you can get at least two servings. I also carry a tin of bacon fat in my pack for cooking. Wipe out your pan and your done. Did I say BACON?

This simply is inspiring! Love your channel. Keep it up. Greetings from Germany.

Awesome! Looked fun, ty for sharing
