@ Corporals Corner Hey Shawn, just wanted to let you know that it appears this year's RPMfest is actually going to go. Not sure if it's up your alley where it's 3 days of various styles of heavy metal, but, beyond that, an actual pro wrestling outfit I've never heard of joined up & on the last night of the show, there'll be a pro wrestling exhibition going on! This'll either be really funny or awesome or both @ the same time. Early bird Tix which have been 50.00$ for all 3 days in the past should be up around 5/28/22 & would include the wrestling part of it. Individual day Tix won't happen until probably late June / early August but those can run more $. Anyway, just throwing out an invitation to you, your son & anyone else in your family that might want to scope it out. There is camping but I'm not sure on the bushcraft side of it how much you could "get away with" except I know no "regular cooking fires" out in the woods where camping would be primarily; something like a well monitored butane / propane thing would be ok though. I'll leave the website for you so you can scope it out. @ the moment, certain things aren't on the site like bands & the thing about the wrestling aspect, but as time goes by, all of everything will be up on it. URL is www.rpmfest.org & video taping / filming is encouraged. Maybe as something semi silly, make a "you survive a (primarily) heavy metal concert"!? I think you'd like the area it's being done in. I usually sponsor & help out putting it together & all sorts of other things when it goes on & if I run into you, I'll offer you a beer or something.

Tell me something Jarhead what makes more since carrying an Ultralight hammock and tarp with a combined weight of 3 pounds soaking wet or carry a couple lbs of rope and spend 2 or 3 hrs making that set-up. That's a lot of activity so you're gonna blow through calories not to mention your outfit has Zero mobility...😉 Just saying...😉

Those small loops you make and loop over the ridgeline that you used to hang the lantern from... i used those loops few weeks ago to make a temporay washing line for our cloths since it rain and we ran out of space to hang everything. The loops i made to hook the clothes hanger into . The benefit of that you could keep the clothes from sliding down as my ridgeline was at steep angle. So Corporal thanks for sharing tips i learn a lot and i use some of this even in my work.

Shawn Kelly...you are one clever man. The funny thing is...I am a 75 year old woman living in Ontario Canada and discovered your videos on Utube a week ago and am hooked 15 videos watched and more to go. The odds of me camping in the woods is nil, but if for some unknown reason I had to, I will be ready. Your food recipes are great and I love your enthusiasm for coffee and bacon. Keep on educating.....with the uncertainty in the world today you may be helping many people.

I've said it before and will say it again. This content is completely underrated and underappreciated. It's a free how to survival basics class from a legit instructor. I utilize several knots I've learned from Corp EVERY time I'm in the woods and sometimes at work. Thanks for this channel Corp !

Exactly what I was looking for, nylon webbing! Just about everyone has ratchet straps in their vehicle or garage and now many hardware stores sell the webbing in bulk, so yes,, this video is applicable on many levels.. The suspend tree shelter is a bonus . . . AF! These videos are so full of ideas and inspiration, keep making more.

Holy shit! The video was up for 2 minutes when I clicked on it and already had 456 views! My kids love watching this with me and we are all looking forward to camping this year. They want me to build a bunk bed for them this year.

Closing in on One ☆MILLION☆ subscribers! OUTSTANDING. And with bacon this week.... BONUS.

One of the best channels on the internet.

Rock-a-bye Corporal in the tree tent, when he lays down, the Corporal is spent. If the rope breaks, the Corporal falls down, and sleeps the rest of the night on the ground. I couldn't pass up the chance to re-write a lullaby. Another outstanding video! I find it confusing that some don't understand that the lashings are just holding the poles in place, and that all the weight of the bed poles is actually resting on the 'crossbars'. Although, it may be that they actually need to see it up close to understand. Everyone sees and learns differently, I suppose. As always, your time and effort in bringing us these videos is much appreciated. Semper Fi!

I work 3rd shift, before going in, I watched this sitting in my car. The tree tent looked so comfortable, something like that would lull anyone to sleep. When you were cutting the notches I was waiting for big foot to appear. 😂 Have a great day Corporal.

Hey Corporal, as a USN RETIRED VETERAN from the 1st Gulf War, you’ve literally enabled my Son and I to bond even much more with your vids. Survival skills, bushcraft skills, and just the experience to go out camping overall, is priceless. Thank you Brotha for posting, and the ability to expanding really useful skills in the field 😇🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Fellow comrade 👍

Sunday with the Corporal … Knowledge, humor, integrity. Wonderful. Thank You.

So happy to see our good friend Bacon making an appearance in the vids again. We missed you Bacon. 😆 But seriously, Always waiting for Sunday for Corporals Corner drops. Keep doin your thing Shawn, We enjoy every bit of it.

Sunday morning with the Corporal and Mountain Dew! Semper Fi!

Another neat raised bed, looks comfortable. Anything bacon wrapped, yum! Thank you for another fun and informative Sunday. Anza Borrego State Park has primitive campsites in Southern CA. The stars are so beautiful out in the desert.

I think this is the best channel for suvival stuff. Easy to follow, to the point, varied gear and locations, nice video length and no promotions apart from quick message. Great work.

Man, I just love you appreciate the most simple things. I love it.

Tree tent seems perfect for a heavy rain situation!!

thanks again for another great learning experience. I really like the fact that you continue to show the knots and placement of them to us. of how to use what you have on hand to help with making them [ie knife to pull tie downs tighter]. no hand damage. please keep them coming.

Bang on shawn, it's so good to see you back building, and chomping bacon 🥓 😋.

Still loving your work Corporal. Different styles, methods. Every week you're showing us what imagination and creativity can do out in the field. Keep being outstanding AF.

Big fan of those close up knot tying sections of the video!

Love the road flare fire starters. Putting a few in my BOB for those “gotta hava fire now” nights

Down here in Kentucky I actually prefer to practice my skills on state land. It’s not illegal to camp,and as long as I have my fishing or hunting licenses and follow season restrictions I can definitely catch and cook.

Another outstanding solo overnighter from the chief of bushcraft 👌🏻 Looking forward to seeing the toyota again 👍🏻⚓ 🇬🇧

Mule tape! Glad to know I’m not the only one who has access to it. Absolutely amazing stuff. Power line companies literally throw that stuff away by the dumpster full after pulling line. I use it for everything from tie straps to pulling game out of the woods and pulling broken down tractors on the roadway. Incredible stuff.

Another great application for sloped ground. I live on the side of a mountain with 0 level ground and rocky AF. But I got a lot of trees. I can think of several ways to stabilize it if it rocks too much. Nice tip about flares. I carry them, but haven't done the smaller fire starters. Gonna play with this idea soon.

Outstanding AF. Great idea with the shelter. Food looked good Thanks Keep them coming.

Awesome AF. Another sweet build in the woods, no wet butt or creepy crawlers. BACON! Nicely done, true workmanship. Great video, thanks for the trip. Enjoy!

Thank you for another unique survival lesson. You are a major influence on the importance of self-reliance! I'm buying my own property out east and can't wait to improve my own skills. Can't do that easily in the city - even in Texas.

Great video!!!!! Always love your content, thks for the advice. Can’t wait till log cabin videos. My 12 tall baby Jesus manger shelter I built year ago is standing strong with two trees in front if I want to sleep in hammock rather than the bed made with 50 gallon trash bags that located in the back wall. I was taught by the best “ corporal corner”.

Outstanding! Obi Wan , your fast-deploy ridge line and improvised truckers hitch has saved my bacon on no less than three times this spring. I’m loving applying the skills you’ve taught me thus far. Keep up the great work!

Yup "gettin in and out of that thing sucks" just what I expected but pretty nice anyways.

This guy is just superior to all those other Survival channels out there. Not only those he explain why a process works, but also the benefit of why they do. I can see that his military experience and his superior knowledge as an instructor in a survival school is relevant and important for student learning and understanding. Outstanding video and superb knowledge on the different techniques of survival in this video. Thank you for taking the time out of your normal routine to show us those unique tasks that are so valuable and that only you know because of your superb experience. Corporal's Corner is way superior above anything thing else out there. This guy is legit. No doubt

Awesome using the mule tape. Growing up, my uncle worked for the telephone company and we had tons of this line. We used it for everything from building forts in the woods, camping tarps, and endless uses on the farm.

Very instructive again. Thanks for the vidéo

Great idea with the tree tent !! I always learn something new when I watch Corporal Corner’s videos. Keep up the great work!

This is pretty ingenious, high and dry. Nothing worse than getting soaked and dealing with wet gear. I'll be waiting for the next notification.

You are so close to a million. Phenomenal job, sir. My husband and I look forward to your video every week!

A large part of my love for your page comes from nostalgia, back when friends and I were kids in the late 70s/early 80s. We'd go out and do these things. Armed with only our Boy Scout skills and the US Army Survival Field Manual. Great job Corp, always Fine AF!

I need to learn those knots 🪢

Like the good eats that you show not hard . Did some on the grill very good . 🖖

Outstanding work! Thanks for killing every week and glad to see the return of bacon 🥓 🇺🇸

This was absolutely awesome. Keep up the great work. I look forward to Sundays to see what you have came up with. Thank you for what you do on these survival videos. That was totally cool with the flare also. Thank you sir.

As soon as the video alert comes in I click the link then the like button before the video starts, because I just KNOW it's gonna be another outstanding AF video I'm about to watch.

Awesome tree tent Corporal, great job! The bacon wrapped kielbasa looked fantastic too! Great idea on using the flares for a quick firestarter in damp conditions. Outstanding AF!! 👍

Solid episode!

I used a 420DD lawn tractor leaf bag to make raised beds with. I sewed open sleeves length ways along the sides, to run poles through. Had it so I could stuff it with leaves for isolation between the sleeves and close it for when I'm on the ground. Can't wait to try this. Awesome.

On a scale of 1-10; outstanding!

Love the bird singing. What a way to be awakened

Corp, that was bloody brilliant. You, Sir, are a legend. Thank you.

Liked this. Couple of mistakes though. Mistake number 1: watching this video on a day I’m fasting. That was dumb. Mistake number 2: the carpenter in me getting super triggered by the asymmetrical frame then seeing how you got in and out. Lesson learned. Lol. Thanks for helping me build character.

This may be my favorite of your videos because of the bed , I would find it hard to get out in the morning , just bring my breakfast in bed

Thanks for the hard work I learned something every time I watch

I'm always learning something. Educational, entertaining, and fun to watch. Awesome AF.

Simple. Doable. Clearly explained and demonstrated. Just like always. Thanks!

As usaual. Ezcellent!!!! Woth all!!!! Keep it up!

Tremendous idea in wetlands. You never disappoint. And I love the knot lessons

The situation helps us decide what the best shelter will be. I'd love to see a "catch all" kit, for any scenario. I imagine it would include a lot of 55-gallon garbage bags (I always watch till the end).

Mate, that tent is the duck's nuts. The feed looked cool AF too. Mind you, you should probably avoid camping with a cardiologist, if you're going to cook that kind of tucker. He'd have conniptions. I really like the access area of the tent too. You've converted me to the whole idea of tarps for camping. Seems you have a lot more options available.

I really need to get a spool of that mule tape. That setup is outstanding and there is always good reasons to get your bed/shelter off the ground. 🫡

An interesting and resourceful build as always Corporal. The amateur geologist in me is intrigued by the rock formation behind you. Part of ancient Appalachian mountains perhaps.

Hey, when I was your age I did all of this stuff. Maybe wasn't up to your standards, but, I didn't have your tools to use. Upstate NY woods brats is what we were, staying out of trouble. It was fun. Amazing what you can do with moss and a bedsheet...

Looks real good Corporal. Thanks for showing us and take care.

The flare was a great hack as was leaving a nice size gap on the bed to get in and out. Lot of time people forget that and just open the flap each time. This way was much better.
