As a kid I watched my Grandpa make a lead and rawhide maul and mallet set Im 63 forty years as a carpenter. Those handmade tools are my most precious things. I have used them a lot and replaced the rawhide a few times. Great wintertime project when the snow is deep
Keep up the good work , I love & adore how blunt & genuine you are when it comes to keeping our species up to date on how to survive in society & if we have to live without it. Your Elite..Good Man.
Thanks Corporal!!! I can’t emphasize enough, how your keeping real, saves lives. I also love the fact, that everything you do/teach, is intent oriented. Semper Fi, Marine
It's sad that people use things every day and know next to nothing about them. Think about your car. How much do you know about how it works? Why do you need to change the oil? Should you change the radiator fluid, if so, how often? How to brakes work? Why are your tires, brakes, and suspension the most important parts of your car? People today seem to be blissfully ignorant of things that they rely on every day, and it boggles my mind.
@@jeromethiel4323when you don't know how to do something that really needs to be done, you end up paying someone who knows to do it. Knowledge = independence, and it saves money.
@@Duke_Romilar_III Indeed. And even if you do end up paying someone else to do the job, knowing at least something about the subject means you are a whole lot less likely to get ripped off.

Just a rule I live by......always use the vice provided. I would've made my "cut" for the maul edge while still attached to the tree so I wouldn't have to then hold it on the ground to make my cut. Great vid!! TY!!
Good information. Next cudgels or shillelaghs or perhaps the ubiquitous slungshot. I made a cudgel from a pine limb with a burl on it about 18" overall, wrapped the handle and mounted it on a plaque with a tag that said "Karen's Equalizer. To be used at her discretion." Good friends of mine. Something to be said for"tougher than a pine knot"! Maybe more of a calabash? Lol. Thanks Shawn.
Easy updated instructions on this. I know. Have talked to you before getting advice on making these. They aren’t pretty, but I’m proud of the pair I made with your help. Thank you again.
I like that mallet. I can surely tenderize my brontosaurus steaks with that. Great instruction. Now I will be looking for a dead hickory in my forest next time I'm there... got me some ideas.
The maul seems to suit my needs the best. One thing I learned not to do is toss it in the fire when I'm done cuz as soon as it is in the fire I find another use for it.

Rambo quote. F**K yeah!! Corporal, you no expendable! I like that your simple camp tools are easily made into malee weapons. Kind of shows the evolution of our species.
If you don't have the auger bit you can make a serviceable mallet by just using that same 3" to 4" piece of wood, cut it to 3 feet in length or so, and swing it to drive in bigger stakes or posts. You can thin one end of the handle a bit if needs be with a hatchet or knife. The knife will take some time. It won't last as long as the mallet but it gets the job done. Basically its a big baton.
2 comments: 1st, on the "bringing tools to make tools" remark, i just made a similar comment on another channel when he recommended bringing a sail needle and material to make a gill net in your pack, to which i replied, why not just bring the net? save space and weight in your pack, and save time and calories making the net when they could be at a premium. 2nd, im nearly certain it was one of your videos where you took a thicker log with an at-or-nearly 90 degree branch sticking out and cut it to be a self mallet. i absolutely loved that idea. extracting tools that are already made but hiding in the landscape. could have revisited that as an option here.
The tip about the using green wood is great. I hadn't thought about it before and always picked up random pieces, but it totally makes sense in terms of durability.
Another great training video! I watched a bunch of older videos with you and your adorable son. You, Mr Kelly are a great dad and a very skilled trainer.
Great video! Only one thing to critique on the mallet is never drive in the wedge in line with the grain of the head. Over time, the head will split. Semper Fi bro!!!
Love that you brought up these easy tools. I would enjoy you going over the six simple machines for your viewers and explain their value. Lever Wheel and axle Pulley Inclined plane Wedge Screw
Excellent video. I think a maul or baton is the first tool to make when setting up camp. It allows you to make other tools. Like you say, wood selection is key. Oak, maple, hickory, or even dogwood are good choices. I'm a woodworker and imo having a simple socket chisel (or 2) would be a great tool for bushcrafting. That and a maul and you're in business.
You know. I never thought about using an awl as part of my survival gear before. But seeing as how you can use it for temporary to semi-permanent outdoors items from mallets to structures and everything in between, it could be an important part of the survival gear. Excellent video as always. Thank you Corporal.
Awls are often used to create holes in materials for sewing to repair items like tarps heavier thicker materials. Thats why they're in Swiss Army Knives.
I made both the mallet and the baton several years ago and they are both very durable but the baton is made from a very hard wood idk what it was but I wrote on it the baton master 3000 😂
While that auger in home made, there are similar tools called a Pioneer Wrench or Scotch Eye. The ring at the top is the same size as the auger and has a sharp tapered edge to it. You can drive a stick that's slightly larger than the eye through it and it will get trimmed to the same size as the hole made by the auger. You only have to size the stick as deep as the hole you made if you were making something like a stool or bench to sit on.
I heard on your new Survival Mastery channel, that you got a naked old man running around in the woods ( EJ) lol. yeah I subbed it to, he sure is a tough old geezer tho. An this why I watch your stuff, for real bush craft knowledge, thx for the vid Corp

Always Outstanding AF.
I always enjoy your videos.
That’s very educational. One would never think that there’s actually a science behind bushcrafting/ survival. There’s a science to everything.

Another great one Corp!
Dont get any simpler in the k.i.s.s. than this one thanx for the refresher semper fi devil dog
Ayyyy!! Rambo: First Blood part 2 reference! Nice!

I, for one, appreciate the simplicity.
I’m a huge believer in the power of batons. I still train with my original issued PR-24… if you know you know.
The perfect tool for an attitude adjustment.
Love your mid-week video.

As some as you said what is expendable, my mind went to Rambo 2 boat scene. Then you nailed it.Bang on.
The maul seems to suit my needs the best. One thing I learned not to do is toss it in the fire when I'm done cuz as soon as it is in the fire I find another use for it.
Nothing better than a fine piece of history!
sitting waiting on this hurricane to come over...
video does help keep mind busy learning how to make things
Same here
Simple survival is called camping.. nothing wrong with the kiss method.👍🏻

Hi Shawn. Thanks for another informative video. Nice touch chamfering the top of the maul.
Have a good one!!

It doesn’t get much simpler.
