To stop the clay from cracking mix it with hay or bark fibers it will make it stronger or you can fill the gaps with pieces of bark or small pebbles then clay it on both sides of the walls this will stop the clay from shrinking to much so it won't crack all the way through

Try putting a second keyword string at the beginning of your title surrounded by brackets. I'd recommend [Bushcraft Camping & Cooking]. Next, put your website at the top of your description box and put the title, word for word, after it. Then build on the first paragraph with your title contents and video layout to build up your KZread juice.

Hey Corporal, I Dunno if you’ll read this but... I usually don’t comment. But your videos actually mean a lot to me for some reason. Your deep talks next to the fire are very inspiring to say the least, and have made me try and go out and want to connect with nature. Thank you.

I think this shanty build is going to be the start of something epic, the corporal doesn't do anything by half measures 👊🏽🙏🏽

the rock fireplace would be a intersting thing to see and once agin another outstanding video i think it needs a name for the cabin "the bacon haven "

My 5 children and I have been enjoying your content. We too live in Ohio (near hocking hills.) now that the weather is breaking we've been walking through our woods (10 acres) and are starting to recreate your shelters just on a larger scale so all 7 of us can enjoy them. Thank you for the videos.

Fairly new subscriber(less than a full year) so I’m working my way through the older videos. The knot tying videos have been extremely helpful because time and radiation treatments have shredded the ole long term memory. The shanty in the woods is a great thing to get my nephews into outdoor life. There is nothing wrong with self-promoting, in my humble opinion. One does it themselves, or pays someone to do it. I did sign up for the email list. Stay safe and healthy out there.🤘🏻😎

You're early this week. Fantastic

Outstanding!! That was a NICE shanty! Good work! Been watching your videos from start to finish all week. Hope it helps. Picked up on some things I had forgotten!

Last week you were #10 on the recommended list. This week you are #2. Great video and I hope you keep climbing on youtube.

Hey Corporal.. It is truly refreshing and inspiring to see you still fighting the good fight on youtube... The quality of content in your videos is exceptional. keep up the good work Brother!! God Bless You and God Bless America!!!!

As always your innovations are a welcome change. It is sad as stated earlier that this may go unnoticed. I will be here every week for you bro. Looking forward to seeing how your "Swamp" materializes.

"Always improve your fighting position". This episode is an excellent example.

Awesome as always I love how you always show all your gear at the beginning of video would love to see a video of how you actually pack your bag

Hey Corporal, I just wanted to thank you for teaching me all these skills over the past few months that I’ve been watching u, getting back into the outdoors and practicing different things helped me deal with everything going on with this pandemic

"The Price" by Twisted Sister! 🤘🤘 I recently caught up on all your 2020/2021 videos and was looking through the Overnight Playlist. I was surprised to find my favorite TS song - it immediately took me back to 1985, high school and wilderness camping. So naturally I had to let the playlist continue and this was the next video. A great re-watch.

Great video

Great video again. When all my woods buddies past away I stopped going out, but since I've been watching you , I started getting out again, alone but out. So you must be doing something really good. Thanks.

Always early! Keep up the great work and awesome content! Best channel on the tube!

Hi. That was a awesome video.👍🏻👍🏻 If you over lap your clay fill about a quarter inch. It should not crack. Just a suggestion. Keep up the great work. Have a awesome day.😎

Howdy Corporal. Whew. You made me tired just looking at you haul mud and flipping those big ol' logs. Dang, you are the hardest working man on KZread!

That structure is starting out sweet. Finishing it off for long term stays will be better. Thanks for the instruction.

Love the music during the video. Adds a professional touch to it. I hadn't realized how much music can enhance the experience.

When you mix the clay add some dry grass to make a cob it will do a much better job

Giving the people what they want, you rock!

great work Marine! I suggest a simple mix of mineral soil, ash and dried grass and twigs for your chinking packed into a damp crack . For larger cracks stuff with lichen first then ram it in with a larger blunt stick to compress it. I hope you decide to use a stockade style back and front wall/door. A heavy thatched roof over a cross member truss will serve you well too. It's been the style for many thousands of years! When you build your fireplace look up "Rumford" as a mason I've built many and their chief feature is very efficient radiant heating. Flat rocks will serve that quite well providing a huge secondary passive radiant heating. All my best!

love the shelter ..... semi permanence is cool

You should set up a game camera while you're sleeping. I'm curious of what critters came during the night after smelling the bacon lol

Really looking forward to seeing that shelter develop. Several of your videos are in the recommended list, yours is the second one on the list. Keep up the Outstanding work!

I've been sailing 20 years of my life and still learn useful knots from you, sir. Thanks for taking the time in your videos to show them patiently.

Another one of your videos is #2 on my recommended list this week.

Dude, please remind everyone to cut the saplings off at the ground. Leaving a sharp stob sticking up could seriously hurt someone. You are doing a fantastic job! Thank you!

Will, I also have subscribed to this channel because of the information, delivery, and pure enjoyment the corporal provides. I have learned so much because of his teaching style. He has a way of reaching some of us that learn differently from others. We're not stupid, our brains are just wired differently. He has the ability to reach us in a way that works for us. Thank you Shawn for all you do for us!

Dear Corporal, I enjoy your videos and began following you at the beginning of the pandemic in mid-March. Bushcraft has enhanced my learning in camping and survival skills much similar to my previous work with the National Park Service in Alaska, and training sessions with the Sierra Club. What you do here on KZread is not only entertaining but it also is informative. In my personal opinion, you also inspire and raise the human spirit for people who suffer from depression, who search to find ways to cope with their disability. I wish you continued success here on KZread and in your words: "I will see you next time." Best Regards Brian G Bardy

Excellent build but, what I really loved was your videos of the moon rising. 😎

Second recommendation down was a 50+ video playlist of Corporals Corner videos. Had half a dozen more in the top ten. I think KZread is getting the hint.👍👍

Thanks for showing two ways to do almost everything you did today. Also, the cheesy 80's prep for battle music, made the video!...I know it is not your style but you are getting to the point you need to make camp furniture. a nice table for the stove, get out of the dirt.

Great video, great skills, great camp. Thanks for continuing to share the knowledge. Also appreciate you sharing the learning curve.

Awesome Sir! Lot of work, no doubt. It looks great and is working! Can't wait to see the upgrades!! awesome video, ty!

Looking good Corporal ! Keep it Going!!

Corporal,make some kind of a bushcraft sled or travois to bringup more clay per trip ...might be a tad easier..but clay is clay...damn heavy stuff..like water and ammo.

I watch other channels but then come back and realise why I enjoy your channel the most.

Looking good. Looking forward to seeing that rocket stove build! I appreciate ya, till next time. Take care

Miss seeing medium size dude, Semper Fi brother!

This is the best kind of episode. Something that can be done with the kids.

Really enjoy watching this guy specially when he starts cooking enough to feed an army outstanding!

Hey, I'm thinking you are doing some real historical research. Specifically the Long Hunters. SO many historians classify them as tough, independent, skilled and able to endure months on end in the winter in tarp tents. I've never believed that because they were also smart. I'm thinking that since they would only be in an area for a few months they wouldn't build a full cabin. What they would build is what you are doing. If you were going to spend three to six months in an area before moving on what would you build? How much time would you invest in something you would never see again? I think they left the tarp roof up all the time and put evergreen boughs on top to insulate. But that's my reading. God Bless, Jody

Commented on the first vid, now I'm watching the build playlist. I've watched 'My Self Reliance' build his first full-size log cabin, and now watching him build his new cabin...truly is a lot of work to do the real thing. Keep the vids coming, I'll definitely keep watching.

In the immortal words of Kool-Aid Man: “OH YEAH!!” That’s outstanding. I’m loving this build!

In Scotland we call them a bothy. They also can be former two roomed cottages, shepherds huts etc. The Bothy Association look after these many shelters for climbers and walkers. They are prone to abuse (bothies) and many people leave their empty beer cans and whiskey bottles and other rubbish.

This is going to be EPIC AF!!

That is exactly what my Grandfather did when he built a log cabin back in the thirties.

I am curious about what happens to your camp when it rains. I think the ground would turn to mud and you are sleeping in it on a ground pad. What about a drainage ditch around the high side of your fort, or a plastic ground sheet?

I’ve watched (and enjoyed) many of your videos. I especially enjoy the ones with your boy. I will say though that this video is definitely outstanding. I really dig your use of nature, tarp and string to build an excellent structure.

Thanks for making the improvements to the original concept. Looks fantastic. I am learning something on every video and some points are great refreshers. A lot of work is going into each episodes. I can’t wait for the other videos and see the magic happen.

"It looks like a giant turd..." I was thinking the same thing and LOL'd when you said it. The clay will shrink as it dries. How much depends on the type of clay and the initial water content... some will shrink a little, some a lot. An option would be to build in cracks that you later fill with new clay. You'll still have cracks, but you control where they are and then can fill them, which will make smaller cracks. Packing the clay is a good idea, too.

So, I'm 27 seconds in and I'm thinking "this place is one raised bed away from being my new vacation home"

I would love to see this again but a super build where he makes it so he can stand in it! That would be awesome!

I was going to do this in my back yard and started with the bacon wrapped sausage. After that, it just didn't seem important to finish my shelter so I just sat on the porch eating sausage and sipping a beer. The rest just didn't seem all that important anymore.
