After watching "Four Days" and studying the activities, I set up a similar four-day solo exercise here (Alberta, Canada). While I was out, the heatwave hit, 122 F/90% humidity. Thank God for mountain streams & past military service. Pro-tip to everyone: don't ever try this alone, bring a phone, gauge and personal locator. I could've died.

As a plumber who has worked in the construction industry for 35 years, this was a really cool video. Thanks for the shoutout brother!

Reminds me of my hitchhiking days. If I didn't have it just dig through the trash. It's not always about what you have, it's what you find along the way. Another outstanding video my friend.

This is next level, REAL world situation type stuff. Stranded on a work site, remote logging road failure, disaster / shtf ... MacGyver wishes he had these skills. 🦅🌎⚓

Corporal! That's awesome af! Construction trash meets bushcraft... Trashcraft!! The 150 people who gave thumbs down don't realize that an overwhelming majority of the population will be utilizing that approach in a true survival situation, either because of total infrastructure collapse and their urban proximity, or because a natural disaster has rearranged all their resources and now they're inconveniently camping... I'd love to see more of these videos. Really makes a person think outside the box. Thank you sir!

That building wrap is what I put under my tent. That is some strong stuff.

Tip from from a long time backpacker: Run the Tyvek through a washing machine cycle and it will soften the Tyvek and it won't be so noisy. Many backpackers use Tyvek as a ground cloth under their tents.

Good advice about the wash. I use Tyvek as a ground cloth. I've never washed my ground cloth tyvek but I have a few of those reflective bivvy bags made of the same material with a reflective coating inside and I have washed them. They are so much nicer to use after a wash.

Ooooof, as soon as that rain started, I knew you were in for an all-night snare drum jazz solo with that tyvek cover. I appreciate your sacrifice.

Outstanding af yet again. Even though you pointed out it's illegal to take the items without permission and clearly had to buy the supplies, you are bound to get some trolls calling you out for inciting theft or staging stuff, this is obviously meant for a real shtf situation and as such a great demonstration of make do with what you can get.

Hi Kelly. I feel your pain! As a former Radiographer N.D.E. guy turned Certifyed Welding Inspector, I moved from so. Cal. To N. Idaho in 2002. Never looked back! I established a new career from my own hobby (loading ammo and with help from God) And have been enjoying the beauty of mountain, lake and forest for 20 years now. Radiograph was great, inspection fantastic, But at 68 years young I'm a full time baby sitter for my grand son. He and I love your videos! How about making a video of camping with no shelter at all? Most times camping you my only have very limited time to build fire, eat roll out a sleeping bag get up coffee breakfast and on the trail by first light?

Hi Corp I'm a novice I would like to thank you for your skills your teaching and instruction I'm so great ful I've learned immense stuff 👌👌👌👍👍👍

What I love about all your videos is you can accomplish anything As long as you know how to tie the right knots! 😎👍🏽🫡

Cpl Shawn "MacGyver" Kelly strikes again! Nice use of construction materials. I've used some of those (tyvek, reflectix and mule tape) to make backpacking gear items. Tyvek makes a decent ground sheet, reflectix has all sorts of insulative uses and mule tape makes a great cordage option.

Great to see some outside the box thinking. This looks like a great way to start a "Get home with only the stuff in my pocket" series. Seriously, if we were separated from our get home bag, what things in an urban/suburban environment should we look for if all we had was a lighter, multi-tool, and some pocket lint.

Because of you, my skill level has gone off the charts, but only because of you.... Thank you for all that you do. Semper Fi...

Awesome AF video!! I like that you included the failure on the hammock and the fix. It's a lot more durable with the 3 layers. Very creative use of construction "garbage".

I bet you went nuts listening to the rain on that tyvek

Hi Corporal! really like your channel. you seem to always mention the trolls and people that leave negative comments. I would not even mention them. that gives them some kind of look I made him comment about something I said. it makes them feel better about themselves to put someone else down. FORGET them, DONT acknowledge their existence. if they knew anything, they would be doing it themselves. all the nay sayers probably live in their parents basement and the most outdoors they ever see is your channel. forget them. you have a great channel. I cant get out anymore and go camping because of a back injury. was always camping and hiking when i was younger but cant anymore. Living vicariously through your adventures! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. thanks for your service to our great country.

I used to be on a crew pulling fiber optic cable back before they pre-installed it in the conduit. That mule tape is some seriously tough stuff. I still keep a roll behind the seat of my truck!

Been up since 0630, waiting for this.... ... day complete.

This was my favorite video this year so far. Outstanding.

You can now see how many Bushcraft projects the Corporal has completed, from space 🙂

Fuzzy vine is no friend of mine! 1994 boyscout summer camp 101. Haha love it

The rain hitting that tyvek would drive me crazy. Love your videos. I watch every week and I'm a 74 year women. You amaze me with the thinks you do. As for the food it always seems to be delicious. Thanks for the knowledge.

What is construction garbage? Stuff is so expensive now, we literally keep much of our "garbage" now to use on other jobs.

Yesss! Now this looks fun. Plus, perfect food. And I got the notification this time! Yay! 😊

Just come across this video I must have missed. Outstanding as always. You must be able to sleep anywhere, on anything now ! Your mind is the best bushcraft manual ever!

I’m not sure what was better the construction basecamp or that cheese bacon burger. Both were outstanding!

This is GENIUS. Construction garbage camp. For those living in areas where the construction is going gangbusters, being able to repurpose some of that stuff into disposable shelter is outstanding. Especially for a "get home" scenario where you have to overnight.

The amount of effort you put into your videos is quite simply outstanding 👏 👌

I love this. This is real world survival. When SHTF these are the skills one has to know. Outstanding, Corporal. Btw, tyvek makes great wallets; I made mine two years ago and still use it daily. "Crumpling" it up, makes it quiet. (Who knew, right?) And yay...I always felt a bit of a soft girlie cos I get cold and always want a 'bomb-ass fire' ...now I feel fine about it, thanks!

Now THAT'S thinking outside of the box...the Corporal's way! "Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity." -George S. Patton I'm sure you would make him proud!

Suggestion - reduce the slope of your Tyvex cover so you can toss some leaf litter on top without it sliding off and the rain won’t be so noisy.

Awesome AF

Due to price gouging at the grocery store. The chow in this video cost more than the shelter. Bivouac bacon and a cheeseburger. Outstanding AF.

This was a great twist from the more natural type of materials used in your videos. With the majority of us living in a urban setting this was an excellent focus on city survival. Being of the prepared mindset, l would like to see another video geared toward the people living in the city and how to make a shelter should we face a disaster and not have a home to fall back on.

Have had construction jobs in the past where I had to stay on site and made some makeshift shelters with debris. This was a great memory reminder. Thank you.

Good old common sense and creatively using construction materials to make an overnight shelter. Awesome! That bacon cheeseburger looked awesome as well!

TIP for reducing noise on Tyvek, crumple it up, then spread it flat, crumple it again, over and over and it will be softer and make a dramatic difference in noise. I use Tyvek all the time camping. Great video, very clever with that hammock!
