Corporals Corner I may have missed it (if I did, please forgive) but I’d like to know what is the finger “cutting device” that you were using? I would like to acquire one or two of them. Please know that I’m a big fan / student of yours! Thanks for your help.
As a complete novice I really appreciated that you didn’t assume the viewer already knew anything. Showing where and how to tie but not wasting words was also great. This was really helpful to me, many thanks.
Your camera and audio quality has improved since these days, one of the biggest things for top UA-camrs. also editing, engagement and camera angles have improved since these videos. You are clearly dedicated and deliberate and I can truly appreciate how far you have come watching some of your earlier videos. It's not the talent, it's the ability to convey that talent that can be an obstacle. Congrats on your much deserved success in the making my friend.
Corporal, This is a nice setup you have. It covers good and looks like it will withstand the weather. Thank you for demonstrating this classic survival shelter. Take care!
I did this configuration today (it was snowing on and off, in May!). The lower point into the wind. Note that since the poncho is rectangular, the shelter is asymetrical. I am only 5ft 7in and I pretty much filled the shelter. To stay out of heavy rain I might have to curl up a bit. I was able to use my stove inside the shelter since one can sit up at the high side. Good explanation and demonstration as always!
I am terrible with learning knots. Yet I can make great king cobra paranoid bracelets. I wove one with fishing tackle in it. Weights and the hook line combos you can buy. This tent configuration seems like you get the most out of the poncho.
Just a remark about the fern: fern attracts ticks like a magnet. I had lyme disease twice (no fun...) and stay away from fern when I rest somewhere or try not to walk through a field of fern.
Great shelter option for the poncho. On all my hikes my poncho and woobie go into my pack along with other essentials. The Prusik knot is invaluable. On hammock trips I use a $3+ hank of rope from Walmart for a centerline with 550 Prusiks anchoring each tarp end on the centerline and, brother, they don't go anywhere, even in high winds. Great skills with the knots, Corporal! I sincerely hope you had a great Memorial Day and Happy Father's Day, too! From one veteran to another, thank you for your service.
You are a tremendous resource of vitally important information and necessary skills. The kind and thoughtful way you present is also terrific. Much appreciated!
Thank you for this clear, concise, no-B.S. video. Your shelter kit is just the ticket. I keep one in the trunk of my car. Again, thank you for this video.
Once again, thanks for your video and for your service. I keep a military poncho in my rig at all times. It is a cheap way of keeping some kind of raingear with me on my travels that I can count on. This instruction reinforced my decision to buy a surplus poncho and keep it with me. Thanks for the directions on how to create a temporary shelter using my poncho. Your instructions are clear, concise, and well documented with the video. You are an excellent teacher, sir. I particularly enjoy the kit list at the beginning of each lesson and it's a critical component of good instruction.
I recently happened upon your channel when I was looking for instructions on setting up my ORC Industries Poncho that I just pulled out from storage. It's in great condition, no tears or holes and still has the specs and wash instructions on it. Watching you show how easy it is to setup one of these bad boys for shelter is awesome and makes me wanna get outdoors. Your channel is a hidden gem and I'm looking forward to more as I delve into your older videos to learn more!
I still carry the poncho but have not made it into a shelter yet, I like the way you set it up, looks like plenty room for a man to survive. Going to set mine up and try it for a night and see how it works out. Thanks for the time to show that too me.
Was showing our kids some basic tent setups for hiking and using poncho's (giving them each enough information to do what works for them) when we stumbled on your videos. Great instructional here, we really liked how well you explained everything and the time you took to do so, please keep these coming. Thanks!
This is good to know info, I love the attention to detail on the knots. It's hard to beat Uncle Sam's stuff for versatility and ruggedness. I spent some time in the Army, you learn what you need and don't need. I really like this style of shelter ( plow point ), with the poncho or tarp over more conventional types. Thanks for sharing
This was a Great video! I like how you showed how to do the knots. In the early 1970s I took & completed the trail to Eagle Scout that included Pioneering Merit Badge, but I never learned the Truckers Hitch, the Jam knot or the Prussick. Thanks for your demos. MadrasMark/aka/MidOregon Mark
Nice! That's my go-to for field expedient shelter, but I learned it as a ranger diamond. I never thought to tie up the hood like that. I always roll and tuck it. Thanks!
Great Video ! And a great shelter for a Day Pack ! Also the low key colors you will blend in and nobody will know you are there ! Thank you for the video ! tjl
You and 2 buddy's shared the same tent? I would have slept on the hot coals instead or maybe in another zipcode far away from 2 dudes willing to cuddle in a tiny tent.
Can you imagine that the swiss army knife shown in the beginning is classified as an illegal to carry weapon in Germany, because you can open and close it with one hand and the knife locks itself in position once opened.
Corporal Kelly, As a retired/disabled vet who has spent many years in wilderness environments and teach such skills/classes locally myself, l would like to commend you in your very concise, thorough and no BS videos. Even though you often give instructions on many things with which I may already be familiar, I still pick up tips and alternative ideas which positively reinforce my knowledge base. For that, a big thumbs up. My question is about the ring-worn cutting device, which is new to me. Please advise. Thanks much and UhRah!
In many parts of the world, this ring-knife is an agriculture tool used for plucking/harvesting grapes, chillies, ladyfingers... flowers. Yes, it can be used as a handy EDC or survival tool also!
"Oldschool gear is NOT obsolete." Coming from the guy who sold me on the LC-2 system for bushcraft, that makes it twice as true. Great video, corporal!
Seen a lot of variations on the poncho shelter but this is simply the correct way to do it as far as Im concerned. Clean, neat, secure, and will keep you dry
You are my guru. You only talking of what imported. I like your military way. And you are a superb teacher i am a big fan of your UA-cam educaition. When the Winters comes i gonna practise on knots .And i gonna bake the hardtack baconjam.My credentials are i did my military service and 14 years volonteer in the Home defense forces its like your nationalgard. But i got a stroke in2015. So mig brain gets tired so i can never be so Good as you but i do the best i can to learn.And you talking about the muscelmemory if i practise a lot my muscelmemory should work. My close memory is not super. I am a prepper i have food för several years and watercleaning tablett and filter but i have not seen the video of your sandfilter yet but i gonna learn from you för you are the best out there exuese my english i havent written in english for a long time.. Lars-Erik from Stockholm Sweden
I really appreciate your bringing this information to us. Some of it is refresher information, but there is also unique information that I haven't heard before. Thanks very much for your efforts! I particularly liked the ALICE information.
Thanks once again for this video. I see that the last time I responded my response was to a different video, instead of this one. This video is excellent and deserves its own response. I have bookmarked it and will review it periodically so that I will remember it. Thank you!
Looks great, awesome project for a chill, out in the woods hike. Nothing to do with the military though. No grunt will ever spend his dear time tinkering with the perfect slope or the perfect knots to tie up his basha....
Great video! I really like your style of presentation. I thought you were going to tie a Becket hitch at 7:40 with the orange paracord. A slippery Becket would be even easier to tie than the knot you demonstrated, and super easy to untie. Carry on.
It’s funny all that time in the army and didn’t quite realize that all the Ta50 gear was well thought out survival toys. Especially love the canteens and cups. Ok u win u can have a like and sub. Good job little buddy.
Corporal I have to make A diamond shelter every time I go on a overnight it's funny you never forget that old school tips and tricks thank you for the video sir

My amazon store on my main UA-cam page under cutting tools. Thanks for watching
Corporals Corner fantastic ! I learned so much in a short time , plenty of time to rewind and replay ,all makes sense ,good teaching .👍🏻
Firstly, thank you for the brilliant video! Secondly, is that your Helikon poncho you used in this video? Many thanks again!
Outstanding! What is the red sleeping bag liner that you used as a browse bag?
As a complete novice I really appreciated that you didn’t assume the viewer already knew anything. Showing where and how to tie but not wasting words was also great. This was really helpful to me, many thanks.
he gives classes in real life were lucky to get all those videos from him but i guess its a way to make more money with the views
All of these are concepts most of us know. But what you do is TOP QUALITY instructions for beginners. I have never seen such a good presentation.
This is probably one of the best poncho shelter videos I have seen.
Just refreshed my knots with the best teacher of all time. Outstanding!!!!!!!!!
You have knot because you ask knot. Thanks Corporal!! Good to refresh on these...
I'm 53 and I learn something with every video I watch !! blessings and thanks for your continued service!!

Natural born teacher. You have no idea how inspiring you are. Thanks for what you do.
Nice use of a twine cutter...have not seen one of those in ages. I like the idea for cutting paracord. Thanks for sharing

DUDE! Phenomenal video, instruction on knots, and up close camera considerations during demonstration. Instant subscribe
definitely agree, old skool gear is not obsolete! :)
I wouldn't really call the poncho old school other than the camo scheme. The same kind of poncho is still in use with a new camo
That was so well demonstrated. What great lessons you are sharing here with all of us. Thank you so much sir 🙏❤️
This dude ain’t no corporal. He’s the general. Outstanding
Thanks for using hi viz cord so we can see it good video and thanks for the content
You are the best with no BS videos! Thanks from a newbie aged 73

Best poncho shelter I have seen so far....Thank you for your video.
Awesome. Have learned so mutch great things by watching your videos. 🤘
Thank you for this clear, concise, no-B.S. video. Your shelter kit is just the ticket. I keep one in the trunk of my car.
Again, thank you for this video.
Great camp. Greetings from KZ.
Old school gear rides in my truck daily.
That ring knife is a great piece of gear,for when your hands are full!
Nice video sir!

+David Thompson Thank you for the continued support
In the netherlands we use way smaller ponchos
Never seen this config before, thanks and will try it out.
I'm just starting out with bushcraft and liked the nice simple and slow explanation of the knots, many thanks
This may be the best bushcraft instructional channel on the Tube. Always good stuff and something to learn!
Share my channel with others, thanks for the support

Nicely done video! Poncho provides good protection in that configuration. I like the bedding you used.
That ring knife brought me back to my paperboy days.
I still carry the poncho but have not made it into a shelter yet, I like the way you set it up, looks like plenty room for a man to survive. Going to set mine up and try it for a night and see how it works out. Thanks for the time to show that too me.

That is an impressive looking shelter! Well done and good tips, thank you.
Excellent video.
Very informative and done in a very engrossing way.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Love this set up... And I just bought a new poncho so this is the set up project for my next trip in the woods 🌲🔥🌳
It's all good and you always make it look so easy. Thank you!
Great piece of kit, I used mine as a bivvy bag a tarp over a hammock and even a poncho
outstanding AF, as Usual!!
This is good to know info, I love the attention to detail on the knots. It's hard to beat Uncle Sam's stuff for versatility and ruggedness.

This was a Great video! I like how you showed how to do the knots. In the early 1970s I took & completed the trail to Eagle Scout that included Pioneering Merit Badge, but I never learned the Truckers Hitch, the Jam knot or the Prussick. Thanks for your demos. MadrasMark/aka/MidOregon Mark
Good stuff right there
bravo!!!
Great instruction. Not a lot of yapping. Good camera work. Well done!
very nice, thank you
by far, the best poncho shelter set up and demo on y/t
Nice! That's my go-to for field expedient shelter, but I learned it as a ranger diamond. I never thought to tie up the hood like that. I always roll and tuck it. Thanks!
Great Video ! And a great shelter for a Day Pack ! Also the low key colors you will blend in and nobody will know you are there ! Thank you for the video ! tjl
Another great revisit. Always a pleasure seeing your instructional videos.
Nice set up.I like the way you have the opening out from the tree. Easier getting in and out. Nice
hook knife also. Thanks
Awesome.
Once again theboss is at work. I always look forward to you and your sight full skills and builds brother. You are awesome
Love the poncho tent. One time me and 2 buddys made a A-frame one with floar out of 3 poncho's, fire in front and ur in heaven
You and 2 buddy's shared the same tent? I would have slept on the hot coals instead or maybe in another zipcode far away from 2 dudes willing to cuddle in a tiny tent.
Can you imagine that the swiss army knife shown in the beginning is classified as an illegal to carry weapon in Germany, because you can open and close it with one hand and the knife locks itself in position once opened.
This was a step back in time for me. Great vid
Great video. I always carry 2 ponchos and a liner in my EDC/BOB. These things have a ton of uses.
Great demonstration of the knots used for this set up.

Oldie but a goodie! Great content.
Very good setting, I'll try it next time I go to the wood. Thank you
Seen a lot of variations on the poncho shelter but this is simply the correct way to do it as far as Im concerned. Clean, neat, secure, and will keep you dry
Great job showing the useful knots. Looks great.
Thanks again, Corporal, I’d almost forgotten about that ring knife
Excellent tutorial! Thanks for the info.
The best video about the use of a military poncho, thank you very much. One day of these, I will introduce you to my pretty cousin.
You are my guru. You only talking of what imported. I like your military way. And you are a superb teacher i am a big fan of your UA-cam educaition.

Thanks for your generosity...outstanding!
All these wonderful tarp shelters that would leave you soaked if there is any wind with the rain.
I really appreciate your bringing this information to us. Some of it is refresher information, but there is also unique information that I haven't heard before. Thanks very much for your efforts! I particularly liked the ALICE information.
Fantastic! There's a lot of good knot knowledge in this one
I really like this video. Your style is amazing!

Good video, sir. Like the usage of the knots in real application. Nice mattress!!
Learned a lot from your videos .Keep them coming.
I'm a huge fan of the US mil poncho. It is such a versatile piece of equipment worth its weight. Thanks
+jason hyland Thanks for Watching. More to come on the poncho
Clear and concise - kudos!
Looks great, awesome project for a chill, out in the woods hike. Nothing to do with the military though. No grunt will ever spend his dear time tinkering with the perfect slope or the perfect knots to tie up his basha....
Nice one. Glad I still have one
I always learn something new from your blocks of instruction. Thank you
Great video! I really like your style of presentation. I thought you were going to tie a Becket hitch at 7:40 with the orange paracord. A slippery Becket would be even easier to tie than the knot you demonstrated, and super easy to untie. Carry on.
Cpl. Kelly, Your demos are outstanding. Thank you for the effort! SL
+SL's Prepping and Survival Thank you for the views.
Perfect, last configuration looks very confortable..well done..Regards...
You sir are a true teacher a man among men 👍
Good Idea! Will try it with the german NBC-Poncho.....could work too.
Out F@!King standing. You have a great teaching style. I am going to steal it.
