As a Canadian I love this, the dad of a buddy of mine was trapped for a couple days above the arctic circle, blizzard, -60c to -70c. Him and his friend survived those conditions in a snow cave they built, warmed with their body heat. Also having a candle burning is the equivalent of another person's body heat in a snow shelter, just throwing that out there. Could save someone's life. Great content man

That was "cool" AF! Great episode of overnight survival camping with Corporal's Corner. This reminded me of all the snow forts I built in the '70s as a kid in northern NJ.

I use at least 4 knots I learned from you and Canterbury every time I'm out hunting. Not to mention the minimalist emergency shelter kit I've added to my bag that I adapted from you two as well. This channel is amazing AF.👍🏻

I swear, if I ever wanna watch a good makeshift camping shelter vid the Corporals Corner is the place to go. This man gets real creative w his shelters and I respect it.

Always look forward to seeing you every Sunday . Been watching you for years, learn something new every time. Reminds me of the snow forts we did as a kid, keep them coming!!

Excellent demonstration on how to get things done quickly. Which is of upmost importance in a true survival situation! You rock Kelly 👊🏼🇺🇸

This looks like a fun idea to build in the backyard with the grandkids. We currently have two feet of snow on the ground. ❤️🇨🇦

The only thing I would add is maybe used the trash bags as extra flooring to insulate against the snow or as a door way.

Low crawling out of that warm cocoon had to be the hardest part. Keep up the good work Brother

Love them survival blankets. One thing I've picked up from watching is shelter size. Smaller is better when alone.

Well done Shawn!! Never disappointed in your presentation. Nothing like a little freeze out to check yourself on self reliance. Appreciate how you keep the faith.

Wow...I am speechless! Thanks for braving the snow to give us an idea on how to shelter and survive in the snow! Hats off to you good buddy!!!

Appreciate all the time and hard work that goes into these videos, learnt so much from watching your content. Outstanding as always. Road to a million subs now lets go!

This is the one I personally have been waiting for. Your shelter was built precisely and elegantly. Over here in Connecticut the scene is just like where you shot your video. I also enjoy your culinary segment. It always is a hearty mans type meal. Your videos are never wasted on me. Enjoy every one.

Thank you for the time you put in. Sacrificing 1 night every single week, to sleep outside so we can learn from you. We appreciate it brother.

Corporals Corner is my Favorite Cooking Channel

These vids are the best. A few items, keeping it simple and reasonable. These seem like the structures people are realistically going to build if out in the woods unintentionally for a day or two. Awesome winter wonderland!

Very clever setup. The build and the reflective tarps really trapped that body heat. I am always super happy when there is a longer ending, the take down. Thanks for being there and sharing your outings.

I like knowing how long it takes to build the shelter. This type of shelter could come in handy in an emergency. I certainly wouldnt want to spend more than a couple hours building a shelter in an emergency situation. The steak and eggs looked delicious.

Trips me out every time I see you tie a bowline! I have been a professional mariner for 25 years and never seen it tied that way. Like I said before, I always learn something!

Good morning, Mr Kelly! I don’t think I’ll ever purposely go out camping in snow like this, but at least with your guidance, I’ll be somewhat prepared if I ever find myself in a situation. Also, I love that you get up and enjoy breakfast/coffee and don’t just rush right out after waking.

Now that is an excellent example of an emergency shelter in heavy snow. As a Canadian this resonates with my survival concerns in the winter. Thank you!

I feel guilty sitting here at the desk while you're lying in the snow! Ridgeline without trees (I'm in the desert) and an emergency blanket sandwich - learned something today! Awesome instruct-able Corporal!

I have enjoyed watching your videos for a very long time.. U don't see a lot of individuals who are still in the military or retired military want to teach others how to survive in cold weather.. CPL Kelly, Thank U for your service, your training & your support to your Military.. You're taking your time teach us is greatly appreciated.. I do need to ask, how do U clean your 108 yr old steel pan out?? I saw U wiping it out with a white cloth.. Again Thank U... 🌞👍👍☕☕

It’s Sunday, Corporals Corner Time, German Military training time. A really cold and survival shelter. I love the food. Thank you for this great teaching and I hope you don’t fought an cold. God bless and respectfully Marco, Vielen Danke für diese Ausbildung, Weiterbildung. God bless

Being able to create interesting content every week is one thing, but to improvise and provide the same quality videos we’re used to watching is outstanding. Another great video and as always, Semper Fi!

This reminds of being a kid, & after big snows & the snow plow came, we dug out an entire tunnel system with rooms. We poured water to freeze our rooms... It was great! Then my dad came home and broke them up! I guess he thought they would collapse on us. But I loved it in there! Warm, & fun.

Major winter weather with snow..........PERFECT time to camp

Another outstanding example of improvise, adapt and overcome Shawn.. always look forward to another visit to Corporal's Corner..!

Becoming my Sunday morning ritual too! Thanks Corporal!

Snow is one the best insulators in the Winter.

As one of the few who made it through US Army Winter Warfare School, I learned that in extreme cold weather, the most important piece of equipment is a positive attitude.

Thank you for this video. Great ideas for sever-weather shelter!

U could always cut a tahn tahn open and sleep inside it! Your references crack me up

Your big builds are awesome, but THESE are the ones I like to watch. Keep the emergency blankets and a big wool blanket in your truck and boom - instant shelter if you get stuck. Nice work.

Love the shelter man, good job. "camping in a freezer" Thats really selling it. Gary Southern England. Where snow is as rare as an honest man in parliament.

The 10 C's adapt to the snow very well. Dude digging tool is tops in this situation 4 sure.

Brother, you never cease to amaze me. Rightnow I'm in Northeastern Ohio looking at 18inches of fresh snow in my backyard with a stack of covered aged firewood out behind the garage and shed.. its 21 degrees with a slight wind and I am tempted to go out and construct horseshoe shaped tarped snow shelter. Thanks Shawn for how you inspire, answer the mail and execute out of the box. If you did it in 2 hours.. it'll take me 4 first time... man, I really admire you.

I'm coming in late but still drinking coffee! I'm am going to start doing bush craft with the kids in my community! I am no longer able to work do too health issues. anyways I will be using your videos and Dave's, as bushcraft gospel to help us teach them and we will be making videos, as well learning along with the kids!! Thanks for the inspiration Mr kelly!!!

I appreciate your dedication. Hearing that you have had this shelter planned in your head for a year but just needed the right kind of snow to build it, shows your commitment.

He always keeps it simple. Good job

Gotta say, I dig what you do my dude. A couple weeks ago when you mentioned your views and view Time, I felt it when you said 10/30 and 10/20 but still keeping it 20. If you shaved off even 5 more minutes, where would all that good chow be for the rest of us! We recently started getting that bacon ranch chicken skillet you had awhile back, although months before I even knew of your channel. Seeing you enjoy it in the middle of nowhere made it all the more satisfying to also enjoy your experience. P.S. in the 18 minutes I guarantee I watched: your view count went up ~11k, so you're definitely doing something right!

The mystique of 'tent camping' in the snow as most of us as kids wanted to do. Kelly, you took me back to my childhood with this video. I thank you for that. I enjoyed every second of your achievement. 👍👍

When the storm came, I was like " I hope the Corporal is going to do a snow shelter instead of his original plan" and of course you deliver! Love this shit man!! Stay safe and keep your head on a swivel.

I don’t know why but I could watch you tie knots all day!!! I really miss snow. Lol

Good idea putting that second reflective tarp down on the ground and making like a bathtub floor, that will reflect more of your body heat back to you. 👍

People don't realize how much of a lifesaver a tarp really is in a survival situation and this video proves the point

Now here's a man that knows how to start a fire. Thank you!

My favorite time of year to go camping is winter time. If you can insulate yourself from the cold ground and block the wind you can stay warm. Great job corporal love your videos keep it up.

Let's get this great guy to 1mil subs

This. Shawn, exactly what I’ve been looking for. A couple tips: If one didn’t have the extra reflective tarp under the sleeping pad, one could have chopped off some low furred spruce branches and laid them out lengthwise on the shelter floor, then spread a couple drum liners on top to block moisture, and then add the pad. As for the air inlet and outlet, if one wanted to cut down the speed of the wind going in, put a right angle bend in both ways. You still get ventilation, but also get better temp control. If you are a hunter or know a hunter, get a big deer hide tanned on one side and leave the hair on the other side. Put this on top of the sleeping pad or underneath for extra insulation resulting in more warmth and no body heat sucked away by the cold ground. It is even possible to waterproof the tanned side by impregnating it with a suitable silicon product. Use 2 or 3 of these hides and you will be warm and comfortable. Thanks for the timely video!

Outstanding video! I no longer use sleeping bags, I'm a big proponent of wool blankets.

I absolutely love these vidz man, if i was stuck in the woods hell i'd be glad to find you. Keep them up.

If it ain’t raining or snowing then we ain’t training,love the video and yes the drum liners are great I have 4 that I carry. Keep the Faith brother Anchors away & Semper Fi

Winter camping is great. Cooking On fire is great. Corporals Corner is great. See you next time!

Hey man. I just wanted to say that truly love your channel. Keep doing your thing! Can’t wait to try some of these techniques one day. Be well sir.

Finding natural resources for emergency shelter building is always a concern. Snow is one of the best resources as you'll most likely never run out of it depending on where you live. Here in upstate New York we could build a skyscraper out of the stuff. It's insulating properties are grossly underestimated. I remember building snow forts and caves as a kid and they were always warm. Steak and eggs for breakfast. How can you beat that....even out in the cold? Cool AF! Thanks Corp. I always learn a little something from every one of your videos. As for it not getting any easier.....give it a few more years.

The Corporal is grillin’ and chillin’ 😎

ok, That shelter was outstanding! (Random quote " and I thought those things smelled bad .... on the outside!!" ) I loved this shelter CPL!!! More more more! I have to say that steak and those eggs looked delicious. Thank you for rolling with the weather.

This is one of the best channels I follow

4 min in, it’s looking great. After that Hoth reference, if you don’t roll around in that shelter calling for Ben & Dagobah, it’s a missed opportunity. 😁

Another well made, unplanned event. The idea of a steak on open coals is so enticing. Very educational. Keep on, keeping on. Looking forward to next week.

Vapes R US on Hoth - The Bushcraft is Strong in this One! Awesome emergency snow shelter with Hobbit door it's Precious to protect from exposure. .

Love watching corporal adventures...he make me want to build outside in the wilderness

He's a survivor and he referenced The Empire Strikes Back. Counsel with this man if it's wisdom you seek.

This was so awesome! It blended what I wanted to do as a kid with the reality of a winter survival shelter!

No way I could pound a stake in the ground here. It is frozen! But I do like that you show all kinds of weather. Who knows when a person might need that knowledge! Thanks!

When it came to starting the fire, i thought you were going to rub two squirrels together but a Bic will do. Keep up the fantastic vids and fight the good fight! 🥃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Missed the video drop so I'm playing catch up. I really appreciate the pivot and "shifting gears." That flexibility along with your content quality is a big part of why folks keep coming back. Thanks for continuing to produce these videos.

I apologize I came late to your streaming! Definitely my loss! I would love to camp and cook for you! I hope you keep it going!

I thing any instructions on bushcraft and emergency survival is a thumbs up you. Your videos are always worth the time

Being in Alaska in a arctic light infantry battalion l know snow is a great insulator. Ask any Eskimo.

I had to go back and watch this again. Outstanding build. You make it look easy! Thanks for sharing.

I've used jet stoves to heat tents in the winter. It won't make it warm, but it definitely takes the edge off. I think it would work well in this shelter.

I don't even call Sundays "sunday" anymore. For me it's known as corporal's day!

Your videos are awesome We don’t see snow on this concrete jungle but your videos are educational and simple to understand..I was in the hospital waiting for the food and I ordered a steak when I got home lol keep it up Thank you for making those videos..

There is no snow in my country I really want to travel there. I like every episode of your video. You taught me to want to go into the forest.

Nicely done, for an impromptu video. Well done, corporal.

Video suggestion: You may have done this in the past, but I'd love to see a video of what you recommend carrying for anyone going out into the wilderness to do some bush craft. What's the basics? What do you add for cooler, then cold weather? So many coats are cotton, aside from your wool coat, what are some other suggestions for cold weather gear that isn't cotton?

Probably one of my fav forts you made cool quick and easy set up thanks for a other cool video dude.

This is one of my favorite. I love the simple yet very effective shelter.

Ah, yes! The three emergency tarp snow trench. Used it every time we went to the field in Alaskan winters. Mine were OD rather than international orange. It is all good for cold rainy conditions with only slight nodificationas well. Thank you for the trip down memory lane!

Excellent shelter, couldn't tell you didn't plan this build. Personal thought, a few videos back you bushcraft a candle holder, one of those and a small candle would have really warmed you up, don't ya think? GOD BLESS and stay safe!

Corporal, you sure eat good on these overnighters. I like your style. Makes me hungry just watching you cook. Keep up the great work, fantastic video as always. Thank you!

C.C, one thing would have been interesting, if you took the temp outside than inside after an hour had gone by. Or the next morning as well. Just to see how much your body heat had warmed the shelter. I saw your Holiday video and the hot tent video as well. Well Done as always.

The skills you freely share could save lives. Thank you for sharing. God bless.

Sweet, slept many a night in a snow cave as a kid, a few times in the military as well

Being able to pack snow over the top would definitely increase the insulation factor. Most people fail to realize the insulation properties of snow.

Good job great 👍 video

Its awesome that you're able to share your knowledge and your passion for the topic is appreciated..
