Happy Easter to you too, I wanted to tell you that the lessons you share are essential and even having a few common items and know how will save your and others lives in a emergency situation. Keep up on the good work.

SO EXCITED FOR TODAY"S VIDEO!!!!!! Thanks for posting!!!! - Great video going back to the basics!!! ....OUTSTANDING AF!!! I find that every video, whether it's 3min or it's 30min, is the perfect video length to learn something from. Thanks for your tireless commitment to this channel with all the ups n downs and to sharing all your skills! You are very inspiring for me to get outside as much as I can, despite the weather!

Loving this video. When are you coming to teach in the UK?

Dude thank you for saying “bring what the hell you want” instead of “whatever works for you” as a default. The fact that there’s no perfect way to do this is part of the fun. The armchair warriors go nuts over what’s “right n wrong”

Oh so true. And as an older guy who's done a bit of actual primitive camping or bushcrafing way before it was generally called the later I agree. I was never a boy scout, take that either way. But I grew up out in the country having to make do. So yeah the armchair/ keyboard types annoy me a bit.

Well said!

The video could go for three hours Corp and I'd still watch it. Never forget the 11th "C" ...Coffee!

Good to see someone who actually knows how to survive and what preparations are needed to do just that instead of those wannabee armchair preppers storing lots of crap in their basement. I know who I'd choose if the SHTF.

Matie- love this. I was born in London 1966. Moved to Shropshire. aged 6. It was Awesome- totally rural - the hanging tree etc . I learned cooking , hunting , wildlife from people who lived in a " squatter cottage " in the woods. They did the farm work. Going to a well , getting the water getting kindling, wood , making a fire and making tea in that house. AWESOME - sadly everything is gone and built on now A Squatters cottage is now in Blists Hill museum in Telford , Shropshire. Uk . I can honestly say at grand old age of 56 , I go with kids, nephews, neices etc. I cry when I go in and come out of that place. Lovely memories and total respect that they were living like that in UK in the 1970 and 1980s We have lost so much Respect Matie

My dude is out doing his thing like a beast. Get'er done son!

Thanks to the Corporal, I’ve been practicing my knots on a bit of paracord at work and now I can identify the knots in this video. Also, for a channel branded “Corporal’s Corner”, I really appreciate the level headed view of military life, civilian life, and the discernment of what each brings to the woodsman’s lifestyle. Corporal, never apologize for 30 minutes of FREE high quality, grade A USDA Prime know-how and ingenuity.

Happy Easter, Shawn. Don't apologize for the length of your video. I for one would be happy if they were an hour and 34 minutes. You don't have to apologize for saving people's lives. God bless you and God bless America!! ❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I have seen this type of video 100 times or more over the years . We learn through repetition, and it's in our DNA to learn by seeing and hearing.

Good balance between a discussion about gear and skills and the practical application of them in the field. Thank you for the detailed explanation about basic gear and the thought behind why to carry it.

Waking up on a Sunday morning, having a cup of coffee with the Corp. Life is good.

I love what LEDs have done for flashlights. The single AA flashlight I carry now puts out more light than the old 4D cell Mag Light I used to carry when doing security. The headlights are just fantastic, definitely a must have for all sorts of things.👍

He is Risen! Great video … thank you for showing how you use what you carry!

I dont mind the length of the video at all, I appreciate all the info.

Brother I love watching your videos !! I have learned soo much over the years . Thank you very much for your time and knowledge

I am one of those who likes the 30-35 min videos 😉👍

You probably don’t have time to read these; but, these videos are really helpful. I find all your builds, bushcraft, non-bushcraft builds, etc. to be very entertaining. I watch them for the entertainment value. Videos like these are great though because I’m sure there are a lot of people like me, who served in the Army for 20+ years and picked up a lot of bad fieldcraft habits… or good habits for a tactical setting but horrible in civilian applications. I learn something every single time that helps my civilian primitive camping outings be just that much better. In short; thanks!

This is my personal favorite type of video. A description of the items/skills followed by real-world demo. Two thumbs way up!

Man , I really like the new format / style of the Solo Overnighters . Lots of new ways of thinking about bushcraft , recreational camping , and emergency survival siruations . Please make more like this

Hey buddy. Thanks for being real. You are actually giving real life information. Most people haven't been stuck, fucked, or stranded.

Hoorah! A longer video. I hope it's not a fluke. Make them longer, if someone doesn't like it they can ask to talk to the manager.

It's not too long. And I appreciate this updated version of the basic load out, even if you've covered it all before. Some of this has been buried in your past videos. Plus you've gotten better in your presentation and communication. Keep up the good work.

My daughter is just now beginning to show some real interest in survival, bush craft, and camping and hunting. For so long, she didn't want anything to with going into the woods with myself and her big brother. She is 18 now, I don't know what the spark was that got her interested, I'm just glad that she has caught the "I love being I the woods bug" after trying to get her outdoors with us for years. I am excited to share this and all of your other videos with her. I hope that her wanting to learn about this lifestyle will bring us closer. Thanks for the great content, and keep up the great work.

“Not tacticool”… outstanding! Simple things can make all the difference!

As a matter of preference and convenience, I always have a poncho & a poncho liner. I have found that with those 2 items, you can survive most weather situations, combined with other things [combustion, etc.]. Somewhat warm and somewhat dry is a much better scenario. Had to get a new sheath for my Kabar and the loop is smaller. Small tube of suoperglue goes a long way for emergency 1st aid. I prefer having dehydrated beef jerky and/or dehydrated fruits on hand. I can grab a gallon bag of it and go, almost no weight, eat on the move and sustain me in the short run.

I really appreciate the teaching style. This does connect the dots.

Love it, thank you Corporal Kelly! Also enjoyed the 30 min length.

Appreciate it that you walk the talk. Not many out there show you how and why to use the equipment.

You keep doing you Sir. I have a lot of respect for someone that will keep going against all algorithms. I absolutely love your content and have learned a ton!

Hey Corporal, I've been watching your videos since 2019 and I don't give a shit how long they are I'm gonna watch them till the end , Period!!! So are your loyal followers , so don't sweat it!! Have a good week ahead and,,,,,,,Stay Safe Everyone

Outstanding summary video. Worth it just for the reminder that your no-gas pocket lighter does exactly the same job as a flint and steel, and a heck of a lot cheaper. Plenty of info to use here, thank you.

Great video! I absolutely agree gear drop without showing the usage is pointless. This video is well worth watching until the end! Now its up to us veiwers to go out and use what you're teaching. Thanks, and Happy Easter!

I like the longer videos and showing all the skills. I’ve been tying my bowlines like you do now and I still need to master the truckers hitch. Really appreciate the skills you showcase and if you wanted to put out hour long hike and bushcraft video adventures I would totally watch it.

Happy Easter. I like to carry a pair of light leather gloves with my kit. It helps with preventing punctures, scrapes and cuts while performing various bushcraft jobs. O the wait side, a few paper coffee filters for straing water, coffee..backup combustible material, put tem in a zip lock style bag, put a couple more zip locks in if you want. Minimal weight and storage space in your pack and lots of redundant uses for the bags.

Another great video, teach and show, you taught (book learners) and you showed (hands on) so there is no reason everyone can’t go out and do.

Great video. My food supply is usually a packet of jerky oats bars isotonic powder some hard candies. Bic lighters is a must.

Greetings from the land of ice and snow (middle of Alaska) 😎☕️🥶 Snowed again during the night and snow expected throughout today. Excellent refresher Marine! 😎👊👍 So occupying my down time putting together a wee bit larger version of the Altoids tin kit.

Best video yet has to be said. What YOU NEED. Not what you want, think you need. Just what you need. And most people, no matter how out of shape, can carry ALL of this.

Thanks for another great video. For one, I like the extended video length. Good things aren't rushed, rushed things aren't good.

I really like this white board format. Haven’t seen you stuff a garbage bag in a while!! Keep it up!

Love the change up, a gear dump that’s actually helpful and educational for us. Little classroom and a lot of field :)

Corporal is the man! Love this education vids

Gear dump, practical reasoning, outdoor skills, 5 C’s, overnight. This is the Corporal at his best.

Please keep going in this prepper/survivalist route 🤙🏻

You are such an excellent teacher Shawn! We appreciate you taking time to teach us every week! ❤

I really enjoyed the video. I'm a gear head anyway. You had a good presentation on the equipment and why. People that don't know or just learning should find this very useful. Semper Fi 🇺🇸❤️ Charles

I’ve always carried a butane torch. Your comments regarding the benefits of a Bic lighter have me sold. Thanks.

Great format, discussion and demo. Length was perfect TBH...long enough to cover it all and more importantly show how to use it. Semper Fi

That was a great video Shawn. That same minimalist kit in the back seat of your truck means the difference between being cold & hungry when an unexpected breakdown happens in the middle of nowhere. Nice job!

I absolutely love the format to this video and the teaching aspect was great then taking that stuff and use it in the correct application... lived it brother would prefer this everytime actually keep up the great work sir

Every minute of this was a sound time investment. Thank you.

LOVE THIS! Sick of people showing their shiny unused stuff and NOT how they use it(if they ever did).

Yes big shaun totally useful information not bullsh*t thanks for making these videos brother I enjoy watching and looking forward to the next. one word outstanding 👊

Nothing like watching some Corporals Corner while on Duty!! Keep the vids coming brother!! 🤙🏻

Great vid, back to basics

Proving, once again, the mind is the greatest survival tool in the box.

Absolutely love this video! Showing how to use these items and why is brilliant ! I love that you nail the basics without being locked into total bushcraft methods. An example the bic lighter. You’re the guy I’d want to have with me if I got lost in the wilderness that is for sure! Amazing video.❤

Happy Easter! I so look forward to your videos every week and have learned so much from you. You bring humor to your teaching and I like that as well. I hope you continue making and sharing your videos with us. It’s important information that every 73 y/o, 4’11” retired woman should know to protect herself and her family. Why? Because I refuse to be a victim. I worked for 49 years, raised 3 fine sons, and now it’s my turn to get out and enjoy MY time in the woods. Thanks for all you do!

You are aserious dude Corporal. Love your dry humor. All the best fromanother country.

Really great video. Love the long form content. Especially the “why” you bring things explanation is great. Keep up the good work!

IMO this is the best video youve done, so much information and a clear and consise way. Great work and thanks!

Great point on the light colour bandana, mine is green because that's what the shop had when I purchased it, I feel like I will soon upgrade to a brighter colour.

No one explains bushcraft and survival better than the Corporal!

One thing I have noticed about most sewing kits is that they give you a rainbow of thread colors, but they usually skimp on the quality of the thread. Check your thread to make sure it doesn't break easily. I keep upholstery thread in my mending kit. Not pretty, but you can sew heavier, tighter weaves without breaking your thread.

Excellent basic gear class! Taking your time to explain each item, and show its use was a huge plus in getting an understanding of WHY each item is important and how it was chosen. Outstanding AF Shawn, well done!

Great video, thank you. You are a very good teacher, explaining the why, what, as well as demonstrating techniques. Editing is top notch. I love your straight forward “if you are not in military and not trained you probably won’t. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the lesson Corporal. Much appreciated.

Now that makes good CommonCents! A discussion on the 10c's never gets old. Well done Corporal!

Just got around to watching due to holiday family functions. This video format is very very cool.

Shawn does a great job making me feel confident that even tho I don't have the training and experience he does, at least with my gear and things I have learned over the years, I can do an adequate job hiking, camping, and backpacking.

Always outstanding AF ! You are the premier survival teacher on KZread in my books.

So refreshing to see a minimum kit! Back to the basics baby. Favorite video as of late.

Great video, tell em and show em. I like you teaching military old school kit and how to employ it, with improvements. This goes on the grandkids watch list. Many thanks.

Enjoyed the explanation first, and the camping always A1

I think this length video is just about right for your style. It gives you time to teach/instruct/explain while you demonstrate. In this case I especially liked the 'classroom' to practical application transition - plus I honestly like seeing the interior of the off grid cabin. This video reminded me a little of the series your mentor Dave Canterbury did from what I think he called a 'hunter's cabin'. If I remember right that series was a little more geared toward showing gear and other things to set up a more permanent/base type location that would be used year after year during hunting season, etc. so it isn't like you are copying that series there is just something of the same 'feel' which I think is good. The classroom gives you a chance to slow down and give more details than you can maybe give while you are digging a fire pit, etc

I've been watching for a long time, and this video is one of the greats getting added to the survival favorites lists. Job well done!

I love the new "classroom" then application style video, good work man! Thanks for what you do.

Watching again. Gear head habit. Semper Fi Charles 🪖🇺🇸❤️

Love you Corporal, the skills I learned from you got me out of a bad situation. Saved my life ty.

I love the whiteboard explanations and then get out and do it. A great concept.

Enjoyed every 33'55" of it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

On one of your videos I was watching on my tv/roku. You were apologizing for self promoting. If this is your job/livelihood. Don't apologize . We are watching to learn and enjoy. Great job bro! Thank for your hard work outstanding.

Well done as always brother.

Good video. Glad to see a video returning to your roots. Adding the Swagman roll to this gear package would be a big help.

Thank you, I searched and found a first gen Molle ruck and assault pack loaded it up. Did not take long to realize at 76 years of age We were not going to get far. You just led me back to reality. Thank you love the old stuff any way

The list you made was very good , you could add a couple of things to it but it was fairly complete I would have added things to get food with like fishing equipment, hooks , line artificial baits and one thing I always have with me that isn't necessary but it could come in handy is a firearm and ammo.

I'm ok with the long videos. You are very educational.

Happy Easter Brother! Great video. Never apologize for it's length, it's great material form you who knows how to walk the talk! I'm always learning from you! appreciate it!!!!

One of the hardest working KZreadr's I've seen on this platform. I really enjoy your vids and the value I get from them. Thank you......keep em coming.

Awesome video. As others have mentioned I enjoyed the classroom/field breakdown of the video. I also appreciate that you can tell you use your gear. So many times I’ll be watching a video and it looks like the gear is so new it should still have the tag on it even though it is supposedly one of the creators sponsors….I mean favorites.

Top quality video (as usual) The needs versus wants point can't be mentioned enough. I have a colleague at work that takes half his belongings with him when he goes outdoors. Then complains about the weight and cost of it all. Keep up the good work Corporal Kelly and I'll keep watching.

New sub here. Just found your page a few days ago. I have to say, I love all the content. I literally forgot / threw away all of my military training when I walked out several years ago. Keep going. I will be here twice a week.

I love these type of videos man. Seeing things used is alright but being explained to about how they function together is down right awesome. Appreciate the time you put into your videos.
