@ Corporals Corner Hey yet again Shawn! A question, I saw somebody using some style of wire instead of the usual rope to fasten things to tree poles including a non grommeted tarp. I don't know if you ever tried this or would? My feeling is, where the wire got poked through the tarp in order to "tie off", even though it'd be a small hole, it's a hole nonetheless that might ruin the structural integrity of the tarp. Am wondering though if I'm right or wrong on my belief?

Imagine though, if somehow bacon WAS integrated into football? I mean, they call the ball "pigskin" & well, technically, what is bacon? What would be the combined name afterwards? Footbacon (nope, wouldn't catch on well!) Or, Bacon Ball? ( definitely more potential to take off!)

Here! Here!

Hello! I'm almost 76 yrs. old now and for the past 40 yrs. lived in the Arizona deserts outside of Phoenix. I was born in Cleveland, Ohio and brought up in the suburbs with swatches of wooden lands. 12 months out of each year I played in those wooded areas pretending to be a hunter, mountain man or soldier. Watching your channel brings me back to my childhood experiences and memories! 2016 I had at least 6 strokes that left me with a weak left side of my body, no vision on my left side and a short term memory. Watching your episodes have brought back all those memories. Most of what do I remember doing , on my own, but with much different materials and no tools except maybe a home made knife and hatchet which I had to hide from my parents and brothers and sister. I learned how to track animals and my friends through the woods, how to make shelters and how to hunt( even before I was in my 20's and on my own and able to buy a bow and shot gun. I like your different shelter making videos. Some I remembered I had made but with other materials. I did have string and some wire to work with. The woods supplied the rest. Around where I lived the water table was high so if you dug down 2 1/2 foot or three foot you wood have a hole full of water by morning. But lean-to's and A-frame, teepee and wikky-ups were the norm. I learned tracking and stealth movement in dry, wet, rainy and snowing woodlands. SORRY! ..I got carried away here. Please keep making your videos!! They are great and informative!! So many can learn from your info and get out and enjoy and or survive in the outdoors! THANK YOU SIR!!!

Also I almost wonder if this would be worth revisiting during colder weather and seeing if you could fill the bags with leaves or leafy branches to make a mildly insulated shelter? 🤷🏼‍♂️ Your improvised shelters are always my favorite videos.

Thanks for putting knot tutorials in your videos! You're awesome.

Truly appreciate your straightforward approach to everything. No bull, all teaching.

I completely agree that 'that other person' deserves no more attention now that you've had your say. It's like eating a family dinner -- finish eating, excuse yourself, walk away from the table. Over, done, and out. Now, that trash bag tarp was excellent. Watching your videos has forced me to once again practice the adage of "Improvise, adapt, overcome." I once did something similar with plastic drop-cloths. I believe you've also used something similar. It's nice because they are larger, and you can double them up if you need more strength. Your time and effort in bringing us these outstanding videos is always much appreciated. Have a great week. Semper Fi!

I'm 73 brother ... And I've learned that sometimes it's better just too move on and stick to what you know and do BEST!! 😊🙃. What you do in your videos is invaluable to most of us that watch. The caca is getting ready to hit the proverbial fan here. Some of us may end up without much and living in the woods. Keep teaching your survival stuff. Between you and Andrew, more of us will come out on top. God bless you and yours, and keep rockin'and rollin'. 🙃😊

Thanks for showing uses of the trash bags. I’ve started to add them to my emergency supplies because of your vids. I was surprised to not see you use toggles on those finely crafted corner grommets 😮 PS- you might get tired of it, but thanks for demonstrating the knots again 😊 many of us watch to learn.

Thank you again for a very educational video. It’s really important to hear why you do what you do Your videos are highly educational as well as fun to watch. I’ll tell you what my parents said to me is don’t worry about what other people do or say worry about what you do. You are incredibly talented. Cream always rises to the top. Thank you, until next week.

You have wise words, sir! And... thank you for being a doer and not a talker.

Another outstanding AF build from the bucket list corporal. This is some list. You should produce your own line of drum liners, versatile, strong, and good quality. The corporal liner, lives up to its name and can be used for anything! That fishing hook idea was brilliant. Roll on the next video.

Efficient and Simplistic... Arguably one of my favorites thus far... Props and Thanks, Cpl Kelly... #DutyHonorCountry 🇺🇸

Keep doing what you are doing, Shawn. I love your outside the box thinking and your willingness to try new things.

Okay, that short lesson on the marlinespike hitch being the foundation of three different knots was golden. I always thought of them as separate knots before. It is those simple little eye-opening tips and tricks that make your stuff really enjoyable. Thanks.

Bacon, those little potatoes, Corporal’s Corner and NFL Sunday! Life is good 👍🏾

As I've watched the kids I teach, I see the similarity....in you created something out of nowhere. In your mind, then put it to work. Amazing mental exercise and execution!!

Another chapter in duct tape and trash bag memories. I think you can make anything you set yourself too task, truly amazing.

Wouldn't be a Sunday without an overnighter with the Corporal! Good stuff!

Smart man! Not feeding into the negative war. Loved the video and learned a use for those thorns😅😂😅

One of the many reasons I follow you, and I'd follow you to hell and back! You take the high road, correction, the high ground! Plus I'm truly learning something every time!!!! Thank you for being you! Loved the three knot comparison! plus the rest of the video! keep sweeping forward and thank you for bringing us along!!!!!

Totally love the knot break down. That helps ❣❤🐺❤

Corporal, agreed, people that criticize without being constructive deserve neither you mention or your time. I forgot his name already. Thanks for another few minutes of time with you on a Sunday afternoon.

SO GLAD I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL

Just wanted to say thank you for the content you produce!

after watching some of your videos . and how peaceful they seem i went to my family's lake just me and a one man tent and had the most peaceful time and will do it again . thanks

I still haven't been to his page and have no plans to. Keep on trucking Shawn.

I really enjoyed this one. I have learned and forgotten how to tie a bowline so many times, and I had no idea it was only one step beyond the marline spike hitch. I won't be forgetting again.

You need to make a cook book.

Sunday is complete with the Corp!! Outstanding AF!!🇺🇲💪🇺🇲 God Bless America 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

I always appreciate your content and great videos. THANK YOU for showing how to do the 3 knots. I really love the affective simplicity you always show. Great job letting that other crap go. I don't even click or watch those things. I don't like empty rude bait. Enjoy your day.

Very accurate and meaning message at the end. So many of our population are watchers wisher when truly all they have to do is get off their butts and head into the wild places to enjoy nature or what ever they wish they could do. Jim Rodgers

Not only do you keep it simple, you do very neat work and that is a trait of someone who gives a hoot !!! Keep up the excellent work sir : )

Great shelter. Very functional. This is where carrying a small roll of duct tape is never enough. Love the chow. Ficing to try for 100 days out with my bugout bag. Had to add medical, tp, and personal wipes. The equipment will stay the same. I have checked my gear, rechecked my gear and checked the recheck. Im good to go. Semper Fi. Charles

Great build. Love the way you keep it simple and explain it for the novice.

I like the way you explain/demo your knots. I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I can learn. Thank you.

9/26/2022 Watching the knot tieing reminded me that I had a good year in the woods/riverside. I had to buy a new 100 foot spool of #36 bank line, to pack away for next season. I'm old with bad lungs, so no more winter camping. I will go once more this October, then I will watch you camp ect., and be with you in spirit. Yeah, I've been doing this for 50 years, but that don't mean you haven't taught me some good stuff. Throw a stick in the fire this winter, and think of all us guys that wish we were with you.

Starting to see some of your older videos pop up on my feed, maybe things are looking up?

This is a perfect example of adapting an item to suit your needs: using garbage bags for a shellter! I agree, keeping the bags intact for future use is better. And this is exactly why I (we) follow and support you Shawn! #Improvise #Adapt #Overcome #Less_Drama

No matter how bad it gets, you can still take the trash out. 😃 My favorite night of all in the outdoors was when a big storm came in, and delivered water drops thru my tent and on to my bag in 55 degree weather. Then 2 skunks decided to sniff around the base of my tent for an hour or two. Not much sleep that night. Then we biked another 25 miles.....

Thank you Corporal Corner for the best night's sleep of all times at my Elk archery camp using the trash bags raised bed on a tripod. 27 years pro hunting guide , I have used cots and hammocks but never again.

Hey Shawn, enjoyed this video a lot, thank you. The shelter and the knots were very helpful. The closeup of tying the knots was very clear, well done. Outstanding overnighter so don’t stop what your doing. You are definitely a do er and that’s why your channel is a favorite of mine…🇺🇸

you are a good man trying to teach some skills through videos. Do what you do best and don't let what anyone says or does stop or distract you. Keep up the good work.

Corporal you are my diets nemesis

Excellent motivational speech at the end.

Gonna have to try a trash bag bed. Great setup using trash bags and of course knowledge and skill. Keep those illustrations of knots coming please.

...I turned off notifications for most of the channels I'm subscribed to, however ............ Corporal's Corners notifications Stays ON....This channel is OUTSTANDING!...👍

For cold weather: Keeping the bags intact, you could stuff them with leaves/pine straw for an insulated cover. Tape together, then cut a 3"-4" slit at the top of each pocket to add the insulation.

Hello Shawn. I was hoping you’d get a decent rainfall with perhaps a bit of wind to give that shelter a test, but alas, the timing of our weather never seems to cooperate! Thank you for the knot refresher. Fall is approaching, be nice to see you use that awesome watch tower to capture the wildlife and colors, as well. 👍👍👍 ~John

Awesome job with the honey locust and thanks for being honest about how long it actually took. People don't realize everything isn't an instant success.

Hey Corporal, I'm new to your channel and I just want to let you know that I like your video's and I like your style of presenting them. It doesn't matter to me how or what you are doing, I learn a lot of stuff by watching your video's. You have a lot of cool little tricks that I want to try myself. Anyway, great video. Keep on doing what you do. Take care.

So when is the Corporal's Bushcraft cookbook coming out?

Keep doing! I loved your improvised tent out of 55 gallon drum liners. Good skills reminder with the marlin spike hitch at the center. I think the cheap grey tape was inspired. It photographed much better than the standard black Gorilla tape would have.

Kelly, thank you for this week’s post. Staying with the basics (practicing them with different media) and keeping it simple is what keeps me coming back. I really liked the choice of retaining the drum liner’s configuration, while using them for a tarp - great example of thinking outside and ahead of the box. Nice hook demo, another example of situational awareness and resources on hand meets need. Nice on the fly dinner. A great and cheap retake on previous dishes. Hobo rocks! I don’t know much about the matter to discussed at the end. It ain’t really my business. I will say this; that you took the time to prudently and considerately put an end to whatever it was publically and kindly is what I know to be effective deck plate leadership of the first order. Well done! Looking forward to the next one. Cheers

My Sunday morning as long as I wait till afternoon to open KZread. You are the first on my list. Just like Saturday another channel I follow Outdoor boys is the first that comes up. You are being seen and followed by loyal followers for your channel. Thank you for what you do. Thank you for your service as well this video your Knotts are great. And better explaind than the boy scouts and even my USMC brother ever taught me. Never realized your 3 Knotts and the names are what I have used for the past 30 yrs for almost everything. Save for using a clove hitch and various others but that's when climbing or repeling. Again thank you for what you do and for what you have done. Much respect Justin W!!!

You done a great job putting all three knots together for us in this video and showing there uses. It's incredible how good that overhand knot is for making the practicality of the jam knot to be effective. Such an easy but vital step to finish a superb knot :)

We never get used to the humidity down here in the South. We all can't wait for that first cool crisp day of Fall. (If it doesn't just turn straight to cold and rainy) Spamble for breakfast! I had already fogottten about the other thing you were talking about last week. Your right. Drop it and it will die on the vine. There are those who watch shit happen, those that make shit happen, and those who wonder what the hell happened? My final thought ....Have a good week and keep making shit happen!

I'm always a day late and a dollar short and just got to watch this video. No clue what's going on with whoever but I've learned so much from your videos and I always hang out for your final thoughts. You have made me feel a lot more calm about being in the woods which is literally where I live so thank you for that!! My pack now has basic survival in mind and I'm much less afraid of being lost, stuck or stranded !!

Here is an idea. This is your land so why not just leave something like this. Come back in a week and see how it hold up over time. After a couple of weeks then tare it down and clean up. You could do videos on hold such builds hold up a week or a month later.
