Hey Corp-I’m 76 years old. Used to do all this stuff back 55 years ago. Ya got me off the porch and back in the woods. For your entertainment: had to sit down for 15 minutes after cutting down a six inch diameter dead pine. Getting it back after a few months now. Hell-you might have saved my life and/or bought a few more enjoyable years of life! Thanks brother of different wars. Thinking of starting up a channel for older peeps! Heh heh.

I'm 71 and "doing this stuff 50 years ago" -- you are an Encouragement to me. sir. I made my first campfire in 45 years last week! Thank you.

I understand exactly what folks are saying because I hear it too. How boring would KZread be if we had 12,000 videos on debris shelters or tarp lean tos? I'm glad you're doing these crafty one of a kind shelters. It's exactly what bushcraft/camping needs to stay fun and interesting.

A lot of what he is showing is the “long term” survival shelter variety. You build a shelter that will protect you for hours, in order to build the shelter that will protect you for days, in order to build the shelter that will protect you for weeks. He doesn’t bother with tips on foraging, gathering living off the land, and that’s simply because those are skills you can’t teaching in just a few minutes and tips that will only apply to a very narrow region. As far as the cooking show he puts on, that’s not a “survivals” lesson, but it is a little lesson on how to make some awesome and flavorful protein and carb bombs that will fill your stomach, warm you up from the inside, using a minimum of equipment and processed foods. Overall it’s a hell of a lot more informative that seeing the 279th KZread video of someone making a one pole tarp pyramid and warming up vacuum packed soybean porridge for supper

I really don't think people realize the skill and constant innovation it takes to keep building different shelters every week. Most people wouldn't even be able to properly build a lean-to shelter.

Corp. Kelly, I just found your videos last night and now I am hooked! I'm going to learn how to make the arbor knot. You're a good instructor, sir.

Youve outdone yourself Corporal bloody good work. Iv said it before and Il say it again I see so many other channels making shelters that would leak like sieves because they dont understand how to construct a proper shelter. Its fantastic to see all the innovative ideas you have that are also functional and would keep you alive in a survival situation.

I seriously love how you handle the haters, short term thinkers, and couch critics!

I particularly enjoy it when you call out the armchair warriors lol

In all my years of camping and my years of scouting, never once did I think about using 2 Y branches to make the entrance and hold the ridge pole. Hot damn imma have to try that out!

I don't know what other people who watch you think about your techniques but to me you are the best I've ever seen.
