As a complete novice I really appreciated that you didn’t assume the viewer already knew anything. Showing where and how to tie but not wasting words was also great. This was really helpful to me, many thanks.

This is probably one of the best poncho shelter videos I have seen.

All of these are concepts most of us know. But what you do is TOP QUALITY instructions for beginners. I have never seen such a good presentation.

Just refreshed my knots with the best teacher of all time. Outstanding!!!!!!!!!

You have knot because you ask knot. Thanks Corporal!! Good to refresh on these...

definitely agree, old skool gear is not obsolete! :)

I'm 53 and I learn something with every video I watch !! blessings and thanks for your continued service!!

DUDE! Phenomenal video, instruction on knots, and up close camera considerations during demonstration. Instant subscribe

Thanks for using hi viz cord so we can see it good video and thanks for the content

Your camera and audio quality has improved since these days, one of the biggest things for top RU-vidrs. also editing, engagement and camera angles have improved since these videos. You are clearly dedicated and deliberate and I can truly appreciate how far you have come watching some of your earlier videos. It's not the talent, it's the ability to convey that talent that can be an obstacle. Congrats on your much deserved success in the making my friend.

Corporal, This is a nice setup you have. It covers good and looks like it will withstand the weather. Thank you for demonstrating this classic survival shelter. Take care!

Natural born teacher. You have no idea how inspiring you are. Thanks for what you do.

I did this configuration today (it was snowing on and off, in May!). The lower point into the wind. Note that since the poncho is rectangular, the shelter is asymetrical. I am only 5ft 7in and I pretty much filled the shelter. To stay out of heavy rain I might have to curl up a bit. I was able to use my stove inside the shelter since one can sit up at the high side. Good explanation and demonstration as always!

That was so well demonstrated. What great lessons you are sharing here with all of us. Thank you so much sir 🙏❤️

That ring knife brought me back to my paperboy days.

Nice use of a twine cutter...have not seen one of those in ages. I like the idea for cutting paracord. Thanks for sharing

All these wonderful tarp shelters that would leave you soaked if there is any wind with the rain.

You are a tremendous resource of vitally important information and necessary skills. The kind and thoughtful way you present is also terrific. Much appreciated!

Awesome teacher. Show and demonstrate makes for easy understanding. Thanks for sharing

Awesome. Have learned so mutch great things by watching your videos. 🤘

It's all good and you always make it look so easy. Thank you!

Best poncho shelter I have seen so far....Thank you for your video.

Great instruction. Not a lot of yapping. Good camera work. Well done!

I like this shelter a lot more than the double tarp with open ends you put up another place. The poncho shelter is great and gets a like :)

Nicely done video! Poncho provides good protection in that configuration. I like the bedding you used.

You are the best with no BS videos! Thanks from a newbie aged 73

Great demonstration of the knots used for this set up.

This was a step back in time for me. Great vid

Another great revisit. Always a pleasure seeing your instructional videos.

I recently happened upon your channel when I was looking for instructions on setting up my ORC Industries Poncho that I just pulled out from storage. It's in great condition, no tears or holes and still has the specs and wash instructions on it. Watching you show how easy it is to setup one of these bad boys for shelter is awesome and makes me wanna get outdoors. Your channel is a hidden gem and I'm looking forward to more as I delve into your older videos to learn more!

Love this set up... And I just bought a new poncho so this is the set up project for my next trip in the woods 🌲🔥🌳

Excellent video. Very informative and done in a very engrossing way. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

Thank you for this clear, concise, no-B.S. video. Your shelter kit is just the ticket. I keep one in the trunk of my car. Again, thank you for this video.

Was showing our kids some basic tent setups for hiking and using poncho's (giving them each enough information to do what works for them) when we stumbled on your videos. Great instructional here, we really liked how well you explained everything and the time you took to do so, please keep these coming. Thanks!

That is an impressive looking shelter! Well done and good tips, thank you.

I still carry the poncho but have not made it into a shelter yet, I like the way you set it up, looks like plenty room for a man to survive. Going to set mine up and try it for a night and see how it works out. Thanks for the time to show that too me.

Nice! That's my go-to for field expedient shelter, but I learned it as a ranger diamond. I never thought to tie up the hood like that. I always roll and tuck it. Thanks!

This is good to know info, I love the attention to detail on the knots. It's hard to beat Uncle Sam's stuff for versatility and ruggedness. I spent some time in the Army, you learn what you need and don't need. I really like this style of shelter ( plow point ), with the poncho or tarp over more conventional types. Thanks for sharing

Great video. I always carry 2 ponchos and a liner in my EDC/BOB. These things have a ton of uses.

I'm just starting out with bushcraft and liked the nice simple and slow explanation of the knots, many thanks

This was a Great video! I like how you showed how to do the knots. In the early 1970s I took & completed the trail to Eagle Scout that included Pioneering Merit Badge, but I never learned the Truckers Hitch, the Jam knot or the Prussick. Thanks for your demos. MadrasMark/aka/MidOregon Mark

Love the poncho tent. One time me and 2 buddys made a A-frame one with floar out of 3 poncho's, fire in front and ur in heaven

Great piece of kit, I used mine as a bivvy bag a tarp over a hammock and even a poncho

Just a remark about the fern: fern attracts ticks like a magnet. I had lyme disease twice (no fun...) and stay away from fern when I rest somewhere or try not to walk through a field of fern.

I always learn something new from your blocks of instruction. Thank you

Great shelter option for the poncho. On all my hikes my poncho and woobie go into my pack along with other essentials. The Prusik knot is invaluable. On hammock trips I use a $3+ hank of rope from Walmart for a centerline with 550 Prusiks anchoring each tarp end on the centerline and, brother, they don't go anywhere, even in high winds. Great skills with the knots, Corporal! I sincerely hope you had a great Memorial Day and Happy Father's Day, too! From one veteran to another, thank you for your service.

Worth watching - let alone the information on knots. I might try that one day for fun - but I usually use a simple evenk hitch followed by a taut tarp hitch to get my ridgeline set up. Then using prusiks for the eyelets to get the tension on. Maybe a matter of taste and/or routine, yet most things can be done just by knowing these three knots alone. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks again, Corporal, I’d almost forgotten about that ring knife

Straigt forward and on point. I like your structured way of teaching. Thx

Nice set up.I like the way you have the opening out from the tree. Easier getting in and out. Nice hook knife also. Thanks

outstanding AF, as Usual!!

Fantastic! There's a lot of good knot knowledge in this one

Awesome demonstration. Thank you.

Thanks for your generosity...outstanding!

This may be the best bushcraft instructional channel on the Tube. Always good stuff and something to learn!

I really appreciate your bringing this information to us. Some of it is refresher information, but there is also unique information that I haven't heard before. Thanks very much for your efforts! I particularly liked the ALICE information.

Very good setting, I'll try it next time I go to the wood. Thank you

Once again theboss is at work. I always look forward to you and your sight full skills and builds brother. You are awesome

Never seen this config before, thanks and will try it out.

Great video! I really like how you show how to do the knots!

I am terrible with learning knots. Yet I can make great king cobra paranoid bracelets. I wove one with fishing tackle in it. Weights and the hook line combos you can buy. This tent configuration seems like you get the most out of the poncho.

Old school gear rides in my truck daily. That ring knife is a great piece of gear,for when your hands are full! Nice video sir!

Clear and concise - kudos!

Great show! Thanks for the share. I will be practicing this

Excellent tutorial! Thanks for the info.

Cpl. Kelly, Your demos are outstanding. Thank you for the effort! SL

Oldie but a goodie! Great content.

Great Video ! And a great shelter for a Day Pack ! Also the low key colors you will blend in and nobody will know you are there ! Thank you for the video ! tjl

love the way, you´re explaining it. good videos!! thx.

Great job showing the useful knots. Looks great.

Nice one. Glad I still have one

Thanks once again for this video. I see that the last time I responded my response was to a different video, instead of this one. This video is excellent and deserves its own response. I have bookmarked it and will review it periodically so that I will remember it. Thank you!

Great camp. Greetings from KZ.

Out F@!King standing. You have a great teaching style. I am going to steal it.

Excellent video. Well done. Thank you all your effort

The last time I saw a ring knife was when my dad worked in a glass manufacturing plant. They are very handy for farm work.

Looks great, awesome project for a chill, out in the woods hike. Nothing to do with the military though. No grunt will ever spend his dear time tinkering with the perfect slope or the perfect knots to tie up his basha....

The old Great Northern snow shed at Wellington renamed Tye, WA, I used to drive by above on Hwy-2 on a daily basis.

You sir are a true teacher a man among men 👍

My new favorite poncho set up. Thanks.

OUTSTANDING!!

Seen a lot of variations on the poncho shelter but this is simply the correct way to do it as far as Im concerned. Clean, neat, secure, and will keep you dry

A really excellent video. Thank you very much.

Learned a lot from your videos .Keep them coming.

Love the corn knife my grandpa gave me one years ago ya don't see many of them

Makes a good fort for the kids in the living room. While dad gets to practice shelter building! Lol

I love this! just tried it out today; your stellar instruction helped me erect my first poncho shelter :)

by far, the best poncho shelter set up and demo on y/t

thank you sir. this was very informative.

Great demo!!! I like its simplicity, quick and effective. Moz...

Outstanding.

Awesome videos, great demonstration of skills brother!

Good thing I just bought one, lol. I live Helikon products, I bought their Pencott Greenzone BDU years ago, when you had to import it!!! Still worth it to me!

top notch as always my friend 😇 blessings and thanks again for everything you do 😇

I really like this video. Your style is amazing!

Once again, thanks for your video and for your service. I keep a military poncho in my rig at all times. It is a cheap way of keeping some kind of raingear with me on my travels that I can count on. This instruction reinforced my decision to buy a surplus poncho and keep it with me. Thanks for the directions on how to create a temporary shelter using my poncho. Your instructions are clear, concise, and well documented with the video. You are an excellent teacher, sir. I particularly enjoy the kit list at the beginning of each lesson and it's a critical component of good instruction.

Thanks for sharing. A whole set of good ideas especially using the prussic knot on the hood. I particularly like the end comments. Keep the vids coming. ATB.

Great video,thanks for making these. Very informative.

"Oldschool gear is NOT obsolete." Coming from the guy who sold me on the LC-2 system for bushcraft, that makes it twice as true. Great video, corporal!
