@@PedroHenrique-nh7ly chit man in Brazil I wouldn't think you'd need to carry any fire starters. Just have to sit and wait 5 min for a hot chick to walk by. They're always "smoking hot" would just have to ask them if you could bum a lite off them. :-)
Exactly, a lot of these Bushcraft/survival guys either ramble a lot or are trying to be too macho. I like the way this guy obviously knows what he's talking about and is concise about it.
Yup I like the way he said weight is a big factor. I've done that filled my back pack what I needed for the day. Caught the train 3 cities away and rolled back home. The pack seem to get heavier and heavier by the hour. The water came in handy that probably weighed the most. I wanted to see if I could carry my pack if I had to. I was watching video's year's ago and people has so much stuff. I was thinking how far can they cary all that stuff from point A to B? I didn't want to wait until an emergency then try to cary my pack and half the stuff would have to be left behind unless I had a pack pony or a 4 wheel cart to pull or push the stuff. The less stuff you need the better off you'll be with just the basics. You can always pick up or find stuff along the way.
"If it ain't rainin', we ain't trainin'" . . . spoken like a true Marine! I was a Navy Hospital Corpsman in Vietnam, and the 3rd Marine Division was a real eye-opening experience for me. You guys are crazy. :-) Semper Fi, Brother.
I really like your videos. You see a lot people on UA-cam and websites posting their edc/ kits and not have a single scratch on them. You are the real deal. Burn,scuff, wear and tear on them. . So when you say you use these items. You can see the proof. Keep making videos.
One suggestion for getting equipment from one location to another.. I utilize UPS. I find the UPS store closest to my flight arrival location and ship my gear 2-4 days before my arrival. I land, go to the UPS store pick up my gear and I am off. On the way home, I stop at the UPS store and ship directly to my house. That way no hassles with gear.
Very expensive option, but ye might be good if your gear is sensitive or expensive. Recently sent a box from Brazil to Holland and spent almost $200 with insurance. If I do that each time I travel I can better order everything on budget and deliver on my location
Von Elsnic - You don’t ship everything UPS. You only ship the most expensive items that you don’t want to lose to the baggage handlers. It won’t cost that much. Certainly not $50 for going over the 50 pound limit at the airport. The rest of your items, less than 50 pounds, you take with you on the airline.
I don't travel too much anymore, but when doing so, was leary of losing a valued item. I was lucky to find folding saws at a liquidation store. 6" blade - Vermont America brand for $5 Cdn. My Victorinox Champ gets replaced by a $10 multitool from Walmart, etc. Any Mora Knife is more than adequate for most tasks. Twine gets made up into 50" hanks and old lenses from broken reading glasses suffice for magnifiers. Your system actually makes it do-a-ble for anyone on a tight budget. Thanks. Cheers.
Reciprocating SawsAll blades in a folding handle. I'm a retired carpenter and I've been using a folding, interchangeable blade handle for 20+ years. Same as a Silky or Bacho handle but this way you have disposable blades, easy to fnd in an emergency and for every material from wood and plastic to metal plus the tree saw is far more aggressive than silky by miles. I have an electric Milwaukee SawsAll and in tight spots I use a hand pocket folding sawsall
Corporal, I thank you for continuing to share the knowledge in spite of “some” of the negative commenters. I don’t understand why some make an uninformed comment before watching the entire video. Or, others tell you how wrong this or that is and proceed to state what they would carry.
Hi Shawn a great video with lots of insight and forethought. Just an idea you may want to consider, if you sew some 3m reflective tape around the edges of your signal panel it will work on low light / dark as headlamps will bounce off it. this means is you here to use it as a signal flag and leave it visible its still working at night for you, and the extra material weighs next to nothing. I've gone a step further and added a few 6" strips along the perimeter of my tarp, makes seeing it in the dark so much easier.
This is an OUTSTANDING load out. I like the the economy of the gear.. for travel it is perfect.. well done.. between your get home bag and this load out there are just the right amount of options.. this helped with the way i view my get-home/travel packs... thanks J
Wow Shawn! I've always been amazed at your ability to communicate and the precision of your many bushcraft skills, but this video has the most amazing editing!!! All the stills you included, scenes from other videos, and demonstrations... everything laid out in a systematic and logical progression, it really made this video and subject matter very easy to understand. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into all your videos!!!
Simple and versatile, with multiples of what you gotta have and enough of what you need to get by. The pre-rigged ridgeline is something I already have done up in my pack with my overhead tarp. It's super slick to deploy and it WORKS.
Cpl Kelly, I’ve been on the same quest of finding lighter, more effective gear. I’m using the ENO Junglenest which has a built-in bug net. I started with the same Atlas XL straps but have changed to Amsteel Whoopie Slings. I made tree straps of it also. WELL worth it! While I had the Amsteel, I swapped it in place of the thick rope in the end of the hammock. Further compacting and lightening was accomplished by using Dutchware Gear hardware. I’m using their titanium Dutchbiners for sling to tree strap and for hammock to sling. I quit using 550 cord for my redgeline in favor of Duck Decoy line that’s similar to that bow line you have. Keep up the good work! 🇺🇸
It's great you have done so many videos. High quality for sure. If I have questions about how to or gear or technique. I just go back to a previous videos. I noticed some gear is out of stock and you have to wait. No problem. I'm not made out of money . My biggest problem is my pack. I drive a big rig. I could be anywhere. I could have to survive in any conditions. We had a driver last winter in Texas stranded on the side of the road when the state closed down. Out of fuel and freezing. Luckily the state police were able to finally get to him. From watching and re watching your videos I've learned some skills. Put together a pack. Now I'm replacing heavier single use items with lighter weight multi purpose items. You have been great help! Thank for passing on your know how.
Yet another great video. You made a tarred-bankline-believer out of me. I had not considered its efficacy in use with a bowdrill. The friction provided by the tar would make the bowdrill much better. My go-to cord has always been 7/64" Dyneema but I will henceforth carry tarred bankline as well---just in case. Thanks!☺
If there is one bushcraft thing i love it's building good sturdy long term shelters. Like a good dugout a frame shelter. Sleeping in them kn the winter when you've made them properly
Great topic. I have the same issues when I go travel for military training/deploy on top of my required kit. Definitely have a "home" kit and a "travel" kit. Thanks.
Fun fact, i know its a old video but. I live around 1.5hr or so from Mora here in Sweden and Nusnäs where they craft the knifes and the Dala Horses. :)
I always enjoy your videos. Not much I haven’t done in the field, but I like seeing the new gear that comes out, and appreciate your opinion on it. I bought an ENO 2 person hammock in 2005, and have always liked using it. This week I happened to be camping and tried something new. I removed the ties at each end and used it as a sleeping bag. I made a basic lean-to with my basha and small blanket for a ground cover (my usual setup). Woke up during the night from the sound of rain falling and noticed the wind had changed and rain was blowing in... but I was dry and warm under the ENO hammock.
hahaha you’re prepared! thank you for all these great videos. you’ve inspired me to make my own channel and i’m uploading my completed shelter build right now. thanks!
Thank you again for an excellent video on EDC. I love the idea you have a Amazon page where I can order the things you talk about without having to search about. The phrase "Two is one, one is none" echos in my head. Keep broadcasting!!
Probably watched a hundred of these type of videos. This is the first time I have ever seen a notebook with actual notes in it. Everyone carries them but no one writes in them 🤷♀️ Great video.
Quality video, really enjoyed it. I think the one thing that would have been nice is a final weigh out. Thoughts on titanium stakes such as the MSR Groundhog versus the plastic stakes you're using? They're smaller by volume, but just as light. They're a little more expensive at $3/ea, but I like mine.
Like your vids. You are one of the few that actually talks about time and distance for Get Home Bags. Most people do not realize that they could only go about 10-12 miles a day, less in broken country and they need understand what their personal limitations are due to experience or lack of it. And, they want to carry more weight than they can reasonably carry. Maybe they do not realize that ounces become pounds and pounds become pain. I am no spring chicken at 73 and rately go more than 35 miles from home in a hilly up and down mix of rural woodlands and small towns. It would take me a long time and pure determination to walk that distance home. Adequate gear is needed to do it. I recommened your vids and those of Gray Bearded Green Beret to those who will listen. Too many don't.
Great travel gear list. I have a similar mentality about the gear I keep stored in my truck - good enough to get the job done in a SHTF situation, but not so expensive that I'll be crying if it gets stolen.
So yes you I think, are one of the few if only channels that features rain, if it ain’t raining, we’re not training. Rain and wet is tough. You got to be good and prepared. I’m taking notes even with 40 years in the bush. May want to hold onto that wool blanket a bit longer, 35 F and snow here in Northern MN this week, frozen rain!
The TSA has a limit of 1 (one!) Bic type lighter. It must be in your carry on luggage. None is allowed in your checked in luggage. I've known many people that have broke this rule with no issues. I personally just by a 2 pack when I get to my destination. That gives me 3 while I'm there and 2 to give away to my unprepared friends before my return home. 😁
Hello my outdoors friend, thank you for this great information. I appreciate the time and effort it takes for you to produce such a fine video. Take care out there and always be safe. 🤗
Finished my degree and just accepted a position to start my accounting career. They will be having me travel and said they would be supportive in me getting time in the Woodlands if possible wherever I go. Great timing for this video and info Corporal!! See you in September!
Recently I've started to watch your videos and they are outstanding each and every one of them. You are very direct and to the point which I find is the easiest way to learn. A lot of videos out there just drag on about stupid nonsense instead of staying on the subject and the task at hand. But I'd have to say that you sir are right to the point and you stay on subject and on task. I think more people should take a lesson from you. I do have one thing that I'd like to bring to your attention have you researched the leatherman signal. I think you would find it quite useful. I've been carrying one since they came out. I guess it's been 2 years now.
Thanks again for great info. I have a large get home bag in my truck. I carry a small emergency survival pack with me were ever I go. Your videos are great for fine tuning my packs.
This is currently my favorite channel. I remember Canturbury's first video, and I am back for review. Have most of the same gear, but Assume that I am on a budget. An inexpensive pair of long nose pliers will replace the expensive leatherman. Bankline is good, but a heavy nylon twine with do almost as good. Already have most of the same gear, but need your poncho, or better, the Swagman if I can afford it. A thrift store often has decent stainless steel bottles, but I already have the stainless steel WW2 canteen and cup that doubles as a hanging pot. The bottle would be better, but it may not carry well on a LC2. I would add a surplus lightwieght Army issue 5 quart water bladder. Lots of water for little carry, $20. 'Water is life'. Tie it to the pack, cordage for a shoulder strap, or use as a floatation device. The two quart canteen is good, but not compact and super light to be used as additional water capacity. If one will not be near water on a regualar basis throughout the day, the two quart canteen or equivilent should be kept full and is a better choice in that situation. The 5 quart can be filled at the end of the day, and allow one to move away from the water source for several possible situations, safety being the concern. We have water everywhere here in MN Montana, but most areas do not.
May I suggest replacing your glass magnifying item with a Fresnel lens? You can get business card size versions that fit in a wallet. They weigh less & store flat so they take up less room. They also won't break. You can also double or triple up on how many you carry, in the same way as the lighters. I have them all over the place ... purse, car med kit, car emergency bag, hiking gear, on my desks at home & work. Love them.
Like the EDC, cpl. Good video and I like the way you explain things plain and simple straight to the point . Always learning new things from your videos, Thanks Cpl.Kelly ! Carry-on !
Love that you use the Suunto MC-2 and the Rite in the Rain case. I'm a geo-archeologist and those two items in particular are always with me when I'm in the field. I use the MC-2 USGS UTM compass as it's the second best when using USGS topo maps (the Brunton Geo-Transit is the best but I ain't taking an $800 compass into the field...LOL), I love the clinometer for taking dip and strike measurements in strata. The Rite in the Rain case is also my constant companion. I've been using mine since I was a grad student in 1998 with the Geology field book, that puppy has held up amazingly well.
Maybe add spare bic lighter attached to paracord connected to a roll of chapstick with a cotton ball & petroleum jelly and then add gorilla tape around each. Adding a small zip tie around the button of the bic lighter prevents your lighter from losing its fuel and can be removed and replaced once zipped, clipping the extra length makes it a little sharp though can be filed to prevent cuts. Plus the adhesive sticker is also flammable, once you have a empty lighter if the wheel is removed slowly the springs can be made into a snare & fishing hook and the childproof metal can be removed and can also be made into a fishing hook.
This is one comprehensive and well thought out travel EDC........ Loads of information and common sense, i am now rethinking my current travel EDC set up. Thanks for sharing ATB
I have many of them knives. Still prefer my Mora's but at the price of the others I stash em everywhere. Glovebox in the car, under the seat of my truck, toolbox, tacklebox, on the boat, on the 4 wheeler, shop, even a couple in the barn, a few in various packs that live in vehicles and such too.
I love your travel (EDC) list. This is an area where I could most definitely improve upon. I enjoy your input on your gear. Though I haven't acquired it yet, I'm definitely intrigued by the Swagman Roll, and how versatile it is. Have you ever considered using g the Agawa Boreal 21 saw? It is very light, and very compact in the way it folds closed, and you can process larger logs. Love your input on the matter.
I like the end of the videos with your son doing a survival task thats good stuff right there. Give him a few years and it will be corporals corner Jr.
Ya what you showed is basically all I wanna carry now. Just the necessities. That swagman roll a poncho and a tarp are basically all you need for a shelter I’d add my solar panels and a battery bank to recharge devices a pair of underwear extra socks and 72 hrs worth of food and your fully ready to go
I an a trainer that travels. I ship specific training items ahead by UPS. My equipment has always arrived on time in good condition. I ship it back in the same containers. This way I never have a problem at TSA or have to collect checked bags at the airport.
Corporal Kelly is a true minimalist when it comes to quality gear loadout which saves weight and space for what's really important.........BACON!!!!!!!!!! 🤣😋
A nice very complete travel kit with back ups. I keep something like that in each of my cars along with water and energy bars. Never know when you might have an oops, driving home in the mountains. Unfortunately, these days you can’t even have a nail file in your carry-on for air flight. Anything sharp like knives and saws would have to be in check in baggage. On short air flights where I only use carry-on I have even had to purchase a cheap pocket, knife or multi tool, after I landed. I just feel naked without a source of fire, light and sharp knife, even going to the store.😅😅😅
Not necessarily cheaper gear but lighter gear . Great video of the gear. As a senior citizen, I have a edc bag that weights in around 25 lbs with my gear and it goes every where I go ,plus the 3 lbe on my person .
@101S yeah. that poncho looks nice ... not too excited about buying chinese stuff tho..or the price tag or that poncho... but it does appear to be a nice quality poncho... could actually get a poncho made in Estonia for less darra... but it wouldnt be low key brown color
@@ols7888 thanks for telling me about hill people gear. There poncho there seems to be the closet thing Ive seen to the Jerven Fjellduken (www.varusteleka.com) and less expensive
@Modern Woodsman i hear you ... i realize i am somewhat breaking the philosophy of cheap travel gear, but I would rather not buy even "high quality" chinese gear... that poncho is nice ....but the price tag is way over priced for made in china. for 2x more can get European made stuff with 10 year warranty on zippers etc.
Just got my Speedy Sharp honing tool. OMG this thing is Great!! Just sharpened all my outdoor and kitchen knives and machetes. You need to talk more about thing great item.
When i haven't visited UA-cam in days and i sign in and see bookoo new video uploads. Corporals corner gets first dibs on the mouse click. Great, informative, entertaining, and most importantly...strait to the point, unbiased, no bullshit approach👍
I agree 💯,, just took a 3 day camp / fish trip , when I got everything replaced in storage . Picked up iPad and saw 12 videos , Corporals was first on my list to watch ,, then self reliance video . I also agree with the no nonsense ,, straight tell you like it is approach ,, I really appreciate that ,, some channels want to plug every gimmick Fire starter product there is ,, I am blessed with a life time abundant supply of prime south ga fat wood ,, the king of natural tinder ,, scrape it with the spine of my knife , make some curls and I got sure fire every time
I see a lot of videos with name brand stuff. As much as I like name brand items. I think it’s important to remember that it’s all about how well you deal with a situation and not how expensive your kit is. Survival is identifying food like trees and bushes that grow berries and how to hunt and cook your meal.
I loved this video, a lot of the points you brought up on gear could also hold true for bag you keep in you vehicle. Often times our gear bag can be stolen from our vehicle, if you maintain a balance of usefulness versus cost in that scenario as well you video is great for that application. Thanks for another well thought out vid.
Corporal, thank you for a informative video, wonderful job as always, keep these awesome videos coming, have a wonderful weekend, take care and God bless you and your Family always. 🇺🇸🔥☕️🇺🇸👼🏻👼🏻
I would add one more tiny item...a tiny piece of sponge to cover your camera microphone to reduce wind noise. Thanks so much for an excellent video. I particularly enjoy your concise explanations.
You are about me when it comes to things I need and what I carry when leaving home camping out. When making a trip to town I don't carry that kit, but when I am camping out my kit is with me and I have my food in there also. That was the only thing you didn't have on that list, but know you carry some food items depending on where you go. I learned about hitting the base exchange while in the Air Force and made sure that I had those items in my bag with my chemical warfare bag so I would not get hungry during the exercises we had.

Go ahead nice
Instead of 3 cig lighters
Would you not be better off with a fire flint starter and small box of 20-30 match's ?
Australia is 25KG limit storage and free carry on bag
Most Surival STHF/Go bag people dont seem to cover
Soap and cleaning clothes
Tip for recording
If you get an mic cover it helps block wind sound outside, if you stick the mic cover over the mic hole of your camera
I like the magnifying glass but I'm in the UK so it would only work about 2 weeks a year.
In Finland it would work all summer, i.e. Tuesday
Lol same here in Oregon
In Brazil it would work all year
@@PedroHenrique-nh7ly chit man in Brazil I wouldn't think you'd need to carry any fire starters. Just have to sit and wait 5 min for a hot chick to walk by. They're always "smoking hot" would just have to ask them if you could bum a lite off them. :-)
When there's no sunshine, there's always moonshine!
Finally!! Someone who has a useable survival woods setup instead of just random crap you’ll never use. Love this channel
Corporal , I like the way you explain things it's to the point & no B.S. keep the videos coming Brother!!!
I Concur With This Statement. 💯👍👍😎🇺🇸

The more you know, the less you carry.
The less you carry, the farther you go.

Hi Shawn a great video with lots of insight and forethought.

Most people do not realize that they could only go about 10-12 miles a day, less in broken country and they need understand what their personal limitations are due to experience or lack of it. And, they want to carry more weight than they can reasonably carry. Maybe they do not realize that ounces become pounds and pounds become pain.
I am no spring chicken at 73 and rately go more than 35 miles from home in a hilly up and down mix of rural woodlands and small towns. It would take me a long time and pure determination to walk that distance home. Adequate gear is needed to do it.
I recommened your vids and those of Gray Bearded Green Beret to those who will listen. Too many don't.
The Eno hammock system is excellent. The tips you give are also excellent.
Simple, basic necessities, and with some multi-use items, this was clearly and cogently explained, sir!
Great travel gear list. I have a similar mentality about the gear I keep stored in my truck - good enough to get the job done in a SHTF situation, but not so expensive that I'll be crying if it gets stolen.
So yes you I think, are one of the few if only channels that features rain, if it ain’t raining, we’re not training. Rain and wet is tough. You got to be good and prepared. I’m taking notes even with 40 years in the bush. May want to hold onto that wool blanket a bit longer, 35 F and snow here in Northern MN this week, frozen rain!
The TSA has a limit of 1 (one!) Bic type lighter. It must be in your carry on luggage. None is allowed in your checked in luggage. I've known many people that have broke this rule with no issues. I personally just by a 2 pack when I get to my destination. That gives me 3 while I'm there and 2 to give away to my unprepared friends before my return home. 😁
I put all 3 in my luggage. Thanks for watching
Congratulations to 300.000 subscribers!🎉💯🎊 You are awesome! Keep up the great work!💪💪 God bless You! 😇🙏
Ahh yes classic Corporal..going through the archives, thanks for what you do.
Good information, I love the fact there is no silly music in your videos, maybe just rain drop sounds which fit in.
Hello my outdoors friend, thank you for this great information. I appreciate the time and effort it takes for you to produce such a fine video. Take care out there and always be safe. 🤗
You seriously can't go wrong with Mora. Best knives for the price. Great vid Shawn!
Finished my degree and just accepted a position to start my accounting career. They will be having me travel and said they would be supportive in me getting time in the Woodlands if possible wherever I go. Great timing for this video and info Corporal!! See you in September!
Recently I've started to watch your videos and they are outstanding each and every one of them. You are very direct and to the point which I find is the easiest way to learn. A lot of videos out there just drag on about stupid nonsense instead of staying on the subject and the task at hand. But I'd have to say that you sir are right to the point and you stay on subject and on task. I think more people should take a lesson from you. I do have one thing that I'd like to bring to your attention have you researched the leatherman signal. I think you would find it quite useful. I've been carrying one since they came out. I guess it's been 2 years now.
Awesome kit and very well thought out and practical!
Thanks again for great info. I have a large get home bag in my truck. I carry a small emergency survival pack with me were ever I go. Your videos are great for fine tuning my packs.
There is no doubt that you have the best thought out equipment list of anybody.
This is currently my favorite channel. I remember Canturbury's first video, and I am back for review. Have most of the same gear, but Assume that I am on a budget. An inexpensive pair of long nose pliers will replace the expensive leatherman. Bankline is good, but a heavy nylon twine with do almost as good. Already have most of the same gear, but need your poncho, or better, the Swagman if I can afford it. A thrift store often has decent stainless steel bottles, but I already have the stainless steel WW2 canteen and cup that doubles as a hanging pot. The bottle would be better, but it may not carry well on a LC2. I would add a surplus lightwieght Army issue 5 quart water bladder. Lots of water for little carry, $20. 'Water is life'. Tie it to the pack, cordage for a shoulder strap, or use as a floatation device. The two quart canteen is good, but not compact and super light to be used as additional water capacity. If one will not be near water on a regualar basis throughout the day, the two quart canteen or equivilent should be kept full and is a better choice in that situation. The 5 quart can be filled at the end of the day, and allow one to move away from the water source for several possible situations, safety being the concern. We have water everywhere here in MN Montana, but most areas do not.
May I suggest replacing your glass magnifying item with a Fresnel lens? You can get business card size versions that fit in a wallet. They weigh less & store flat so they take up less room. They also won't break. You can also double or triple up on how many you carry, in the same way as the lighters. I have them all over the place ... purse, car med kit, car emergency bag, hiking gear, on my desks at home & work. Love them.
I have found that an actual glass lens is superior and will not scratch or crack as easily as plastic.
So much good content you make, been binge watching all your vids. I appreciate it a ton! 👊
Like the EDC, cpl.
Good video and I like the way you explain things plain and simple straight to the point . Always learning new things from your videos, Thanks Cpl.Kelly !
Carry-on !
Love that you use the Suunto MC-2 and the Rite in the Rain case. I'm a geo-archeologist and those two items in particular are always with me when I'm in the field. I use the MC-2 USGS UTM compass as it's the second best when using USGS topo maps (the Brunton Geo-Transit is the best but I ain't taking an $800 compass into the field...LOL), I love the clinometer for taking dip and strike measurements in strata. The Rite in the Rain case is also my constant companion. I've been using mine since I was a grad student in 1998 with the Geology field book, that puppy has held up amazingly well.
Maybe add spare bic lighter attached to paracord connected to a roll of chapstick with a cotton ball & petroleum jelly and then add gorilla tape around each. Adding a small zip tie around the button of the bic lighter prevents your lighter from losing its fuel and can be removed and replaced once zipped, clipping the extra length makes it a little sharp though can be filed to prevent cuts. Plus the adhesive sticker is also flammable, once you have a empty lighter if the wheel is removed slowly the springs can be made into a snare & fishing hook and the childproof metal can be removed and can also be made into a fishing hook.
I find that the signal panel is also a dry place to sit or to place your gear or pack on. Great preparedness video.
This is one comprehensive and well thought out travel EDC........ Loads of information and common sense, i am now rethinking my current travel EDC set up. Thanks for sharing ATB
Solid video. Well thought out gear list. Value added
Another legit as ffkk video
Well thought out. I appreciate that you don’t have to spend a fortune for gear. Especially for those of us that only use it half a dozen times a year.
Excellent setup. Thanks for the great step by step of this load out.
I’ve been beating on a $3 Walmart bait knife for a few months now.
My saw is a Fiskar pruning saw.
$26 and you can get it at Walmart.
I have many of them knives. Still prefer my Mora's but at the price of the others I stash em everywhere. Glovebox in the car, under the seat of my truck, toolbox, tacklebox, on the boat, on the 4 wheeler, shop, even a couple in the barn, a few in various packs that live in vehicles and such too.
I rewatch this video before every backcountry hunt, backpacking trip ect. Great content 💪🏽🇺🇸
I love your travel (EDC) list. This is an area where I could most definitely improve upon. I enjoy your input on your gear. Though I haven't acquired it yet, I'm definitely intrigued by the Swagman Roll, and how versatile it is. Have you ever considered using g the Agawa Boreal 21 saw? It is very light, and very compact in the way it folds closed, and you can process larger logs. Love your input on the matter.
I like the end of the videos with your son doing a survival task thats good stuff right there. Give him a few years and it will be corporals corner Jr.
LOL at the 1950-2000 Sports Almanac in your Amazon store. Hat tip to Back to the Future for the win!!
Much thanx from the Catskill Mtns. Your videos are great. Keep making them.
Ya what you showed is basically all I wanna carry now. Just the necessities. That swagman roll a poncho and a tarp are basically all you need for a shelter I’d add my solar panels and a battery bank to recharge devices a pair of underwear extra socks and 72 hrs worth of food and your fully ready to go
I an a trainer that travels. I ship specific training items ahead by UPS. My equipment has always arrived on time in good condition. I ship it back in the same containers. This way I never have a problem at TSA or have to collect checked bags at the airport.
Corporal Kelly is a true minimalist when it comes to quality gear loadout which saves weight and space for what's really important.........BACON!!!!!!!!!! 🤣😋
A nice very complete travel kit with back ups. I keep something like that in each of my cars along with water and energy bars. Never know when you might have an oops, driving home in the mountains. Unfortunately, these days you can’t even have a nail file in your carry-on for air flight. Anything sharp like knives and saws would have to be in check in baggage. On short air flights where I only use carry-on I have even had to purchase a cheap pocket, knife or multi tool, after I landed. I just feel naked without a source of fire, light and sharp knife, even going to the store.😅😅😅
It's backpacking season! So excited!
As always great information w/explanation makes good sense. Always appreciative and thankful for your video's productions.
Damn! Well done as usual Sir.
Learn new things with everyone of your videos.
Thank you.
Really enjoyed this video. Very informative of much useful items. I intend on sharing this with my boys in our Boy Scot Troop.
Thank you for posting!
Well that was enlightening. Never thought about the risk of travel you instructors have with that gear.
SHORT, DIRECT, and to the point. this is a great video. so what was the final weight of this EDC? did I miss it?
Not necessarily cheaper gear but lighter gear . Great video of the gear. As a senior citizen, I have a edc bag that weights in around 25 lbs with my gear and it goes every where I go ,plus the 3 lbe on my person .
Pardon...what would you carry the 25 lbs in? and what would you carry the 3 lbs in... and what would you use for poncho waterproof layer?
pardon and what food?
@101S yeah. that poncho looks nice ... not too excited about buying chinese stuff tho..or the price tag or that poncho... but it does appear to be a nice quality poncho... could actually get a poncho made in Estonia for less darra... but it wouldnt be low key brown color
@@ols7888 thanks for telling me about hill people gear. There poncho there seems to be the closet thing Ive seen to the Jerven Fjellduken (www.varusteleka.com) and less expensive
@Modern Woodsman i hear you ... i realize i am somewhat breaking the philosophy of cheap travel gear, but I would rather not buy even "high quality" chinese gear... that poncho is nice ....but the price tag is way over priced for made in china. for 2x more can get European made stuff with 10 year warranty on zippers etc.
Going to get all those items!!! Thanks Brother!!!
I enjoyed watching your videos. You are very knowledgeable and explain things very well.
Just got my Speedy Sharp honing tool. OMG this thing is Great!! Just sharpened all my outdoor and kitchen knives and machetes. You need to talk more about thing great item.
so much to learn and we Thank you for all you do !!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a great minimalistic kit that I picked up some ideas from. Thx
I'm glad that I'm not the only that carries stakes in my kit.
Hi teacher, now this was a straight forward sit up and fly right video. Good job, very informative. (Old guy from Arkansas)🇺🇸
Excellent. Gotta get me a swagman roll love multifunctional kit . Take it easy Corp. 👍
Hey, Corp... You've gotta try Johnsonville Sausage bacon.
You will definitely be impressed
thank you for your service corporal
And IMPERATIVE to have and carry a Bible. Salute!
Your Amazon Influencer Page is awesome. Great video.
I really like your videos. Always practical and never consumerist. well done
Informative; worth filing; the type of no nonsense data I have come to respect from your Corner.
When i haven't visited UA-cam in days and i sign in and see bookoo new video uploads. Corporals corner gets first dibs on the mouse click. Great, informative, entertaining, and most importantly...strait to the point, unbiased, no bullshit approach👍
It is Appreciated
I agree 💯,, just took a 3 day camp / fish trip , when I got everything replaced in storage . Picked up iPad and saw 12 videos , Corporals was first on my list to watch ,, then self reliance video . I also agree with the no nonsense ,, straight tell you like it is approach ,, I really appreciate that ,, some channels want to plug every gimmick Fire starter product there is ,, I am blessed with a life time abundant supply of prime south ga fat wood ,, the king of natural tinder ,, scrape it with the spine of my knife , make some curls and I got sure fire every time
I see a lot of videos with name brand stuff. As much as I like name brand items. I think it’s important to remember that it’s all about how well you deal with a situation and not how expensive your kit is. Survival is identifying food like trees and bushes that grow berries and how to hunt and cook your meal.
or you can make life easier by having a good kit. Thanks for watching
Excellent video! I really like that EDC kit. I'm going to replicate it. Bravo.
I loved this video, a lot of the points you brought up on gear could also hold true for bag you keep in you vehicle. Often times our gear bag can be stolen from our vehicle, if you maintain a balance of usefulness versus cost in that scenario as well you video is great for that application. Thanks for another well thought out vid.
Str8t 2 the point.
Good presentation, clarity.
Products are spot on.
I’m getting ready to travel too. Thanks, this helped a bunch.
Corporal, thank you for a informative video, wonderful job as always, keep these awesome videos coming, have a wonderful weekend, take care and God bless you and your Family always. 🇺🇸🔥☕️🇺🇸👼🏻👼🏻
I would add one more tiny item...a tiny piece of sponge to cover your camera microphone to reduce wind noise.
Thanks so much for an excellent video. I particularly enjoy your concise explanations.
You are about me when it comes to things I need and what I carry when leaving home camping out. When making a trip to town I don't carry that kit, but when I am camping out my kit is with me and I have my food in there also. That was the only thing you didn't have on that list, but know you carry some food items depending on where you go. I learned about hitting the base exchange while in the Air Force and made sure that I had those items in my bag with my chemical warfare bag so I would not get hungry during the exercises we had.
always enjoy your no nonsense style Corp' ,another good vid.Cheers.
I like the way you do your videos, simple and to the point.
