That time again doesn't time fly i always enjoy the mid week and end of week drops thanks for the relentless effort and time you put into the work you do to provide us all with the easier and useful tips Corporal.🙏
On the notion of sounds. If you hear sounds of birds and frogs around your area then it stops something new has come into the area be on alert. Once the animals around you get use to you they will go back to they normal activity, when something new comes into the area they will stop and be on alert.
We need more skill videos Shawn ! That one was outstanding. I try to be as much part of the landscape as I can. Making videos helps me see my stuff like a sore eye so that I can be a bit more discreet. Thanks!
Steve is such a laid-back guy. He provides fun content as well as some really good ideas for staying unseen by ordinary people. I watch The Corporal for more serious details and ideas but still entertaining in different ways. I heartily recommend both! I do wish someone would do a demo on light sources.
Back when I was on tanks in the Army every time we went out to NTC to train for a month we would spend the first and last weeks in "The Desert Shades". Each tank has 4 crew. Each crewmember had one shelter half. Drivers and loaders then TCs and gunners would put their halves together to form a small pup tent that two people could somewhat comfortably sleep in. When living on the tank during exercises, we would spin the gun tube over the back deck, put the turret in trav-lock, drape our tank tarp over the tube and tie it down to the 4 corners of the back deck and then manually elevate the tube until it created a "tent" we would all sleep under. Since the tank engine is literally a jet turbine, it would keep everyone warm the whole night since it took many, many hours to cool down when shut off. On deployments overseas, we slept inside the tank using various "sleep systems" created just for that. Think "tiny hammocks inside a tank". One member of the crew would be awake all night on watch and we'd rotate through the crew.
That time of the week again! Let’s do this! Excellent, a shout out to Steve Wallis, love his videos! Been watching him for some years now and I’m pretty sure the algorithm from that led me here and I subscribed.
I just wanna say I appreciate how you've just kept quality content pumping out year after year. You don't make it political, I've never had the sense anyone would feel uncomfortable watching your videos. They're just informational, entertaining and calming. Coming back to these videos over the years feels like visiting a cool uncle.
True story. Flying as a crew chief on a Huey under NVG's I got a rude education on futility of light discipline against high tech devices. You could literally see what each troop was doing in their tent. Walking into the same tent later after our flight it was amazing how dim it was because they was using light discipline.
Corporal giving Steve an acknowledgement while putting tacticool in their place. Why I love this channel! Thank you for keeping it real and knowledgeable!
Green man isn't about strictly wearing jeans and non tactical gear it's about blending into whatever the rest of the people around you are wearing. So you in fact are practicing gray man by wearing what is common around you.
Greetings Corporals. One question I always have is how to avoid spiders and other crawling creatures when sleeping on the ground or without a tent. Thank you and God bless.
Before camping like that, i would spray permethrin on all surfaces of all my gear and clothing. And then take further steps to guard against ticks. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying
Stealth camping in a drive in hotel is fun. Making a shelter under the bed covers and using a sleep lite bed roll inside that shelter... covert camping at it's best.
Another thing is to never ever collect fuel ( i.e. wood,sticks leaves, bark, and anything else you might use) around where you are camping go at least a half mile away
Steve Wallis has done a couple of stealth camping vids dressed like a road or construction worker. I think people e won't think twice. He might as well be invisible.
Great video yet again mate. Too many "Bushcrafters" in combats, chopping stuff up and lighting great big fired in public woodlands here in England. Whenever I go out, I blend in with colours, occasionally use camo trousers, but never start chopping down stuff and risking big fires...firstly because of fires getting out of control and secondly because there is nowhere publicly in England that you are allowed to camp, hence why we stealth camp and chopping down s**t isn't stealthy either. Good sound advice you're sharing buddy How's the boy? Hope he's keeping ok. Best wishes as always
Like your way of thinking, Corporal! Great explanation of stealth camping. We use to Sport camo pants back in the Rambo era. Of course i was raised in Central MO. Enjoy your educational videos and all content you provide! Thanks brother!
The fact that people took the concept of the 'grey man' and put a hard archetype of what that person would look like versus understanding that it simply means to blend in (A in survival, act like the natives), screams to the lack of common sense the average person has in 2023
By far the best explanation of stealth camping I've ever seen. It's about enjoying nature as undisturbed as possible. Kudos for the shout out to Steve Wallis too :)
Question, while sleeping on the ground, how do you keep the spiders, chiggers, ticks, and snakes off your body? Crawling and moving thru the brush is a recipe for poison ivy, and assorted insect bites. Also, don't forget wild dogs that roam in packs looking for a meal ???
Thanks for that corporal. I have always held the same mind set on the tactical gray man malarkey. I was doing a job near an air base once. The thunder birds flew in for a weekend air show. The tower must have authorized a low altitude fly over. When it went over it dawned on me, anyone thinking your gonna rise up and fight the powers that be, well let's just say I would advise against it. Thanks for the info I have enjoyed your channel and hope to continue to do so.
I love my woobies!!! I keep one in the truck at all times and one in my kit during warm months!! I need an extra poncho or two though. I may look into the system you just showcased, looks interesting to be sure. Just got my original patches in (thanks for FAST shipping by the way) now I guess I gotta get the new one too lol. Great video and and I prefer “stealth camping” over anything else. Thanks for another awesome video sir!!
My take on the "Gray Man" has always been dress as the locals would dress in whatever part of the country you are in or even to be more specific dress as the locals of the town or city or even neighborhood (hood) your in...Basically what you are saying. Just my humble opinion from living on the streets in a few towns and cities.. Another great video by the way. You have helped me many times over the years with your videos.
That's exactly what a "Grey man" is, the irony of it is, he's saying he don't believe in it and yet he's saying if he was in a different place he would stand out. 🤣
I have a tip for you.....use dirt on the cut ends of branches to make them less obvious..... the white freshly cut branches stands out, i always notice them in the woods
When I was being trained as a tactical tracker, I was chewed out by our Rhodesian instructor, when during a lunch break and thinking we were in "relax" mode, I trimmed a branch so I could sit more comfortably. After making me immediately rub dirt on the cut part, I received a lecture I will always remember about always being alert to my surroundings and footprint. Legendary Jeff Cooper preached a similar philosophy with his situational awareness color system. Larry from Texas
And make sure you are not using paracord with a reflective part to it. Also check piping on packs for same. Set up your system at dark and check it with a flashlight. Lots of gear has reflective strips you can't see in the light of day.
Indeed, Corporal. The 'gray' man has ZERO chance against The Machine. Knock it off. You're just a dude walking around in the woods. Relax and enjoy your time, here.
Happy Father's Day and thank you for the Great Father's Day Video!! I loved the fact that you put out the part about blending into your surroundings both in and out of the woods. Also the fact that unless you have an army behind you, if they really want to find you they will. This is a video that should be seen by all those out there that claim to be Preppers and are going to get away from "The Man". A daily reminder that simple things make life so much easier!! Thanks again and hope you have a Great Father's Day!!
That Lite Sleeper looks bad ass. I wish I had something like that when I was in the Army. I enjoyed the video and the stealth camping. Very practical and can be used whenever. Awesome job Cpl Kelly. Outstanding AF as always. Two thumbs up!!
A fire really is a dead giveaway if you're trying to be stealthy. I'd never cook with fire in a location I intend to camp. Last week I was out in my local woods and smelt wood smoke. It's bone dry right now in the summer weather so the risk of forest fires is high. I followed my nose upwind for about half a mile as I was concerned and wanted to find the source and it was a family with a disposable BBQ. I'm sure I came across as an asshole for my lecture! But my point is it's a distinctive smell and can be detected a long way off.
Another great video and some very good points about stealthiness. To me, the concept of "Gray Man" never meant actually dressing in gray. I always took it to mean blending in with your environment - whatever and where ever that happened to be. If you're in an urban environment and you look like you belong, then anyone you come into contact with will usually assume you DO belong and aren't a threat.
Awesome Video, I 100% agree with you on gray man concept however if you look at the definition of gray man (or blending in) is based on your location as you stated east coast camo in town and a store no one gives it a second thought. So, in essence that is the gray man concept. Second, I took my military poncho liner and added a 100-inch zipper to make a light weight sleeping bag, works great.

Morning Cpl
Steve is the best ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Corp! I'm thinking about mosquito nets for this summer.
Thermocel
Happy Father’s Day! Thanks for the shout out and the tips!
King of stealth camp!
Happy Fathers Day Steve, I'm a province over.
It's not Sunday until the Corporal posts!!
Monday for me. 😁
@@BlackshacksBushcraft ...me too 👍🏻
Amen to that!! It's the first thing I watch when I turn on the TV. It's my Church Service! I can say that because I'm ordained! Lol!
Militia with air support. 😂
I wish more people realized they wouldn’t stand a chance. Done before they start.
On the notion of sounds. If you hear sounds of birds and frogs around your area then it stops something new has come into the area be on alert. Once the animals around you get use to you they will go back to they normal activity, when something new comes into the area they will stop and be on alert.
That’s exactly why I loved solo camping.
Thanks for giving Steve a shout out.
I always thought “Gray man” meant dressing “like the locals”, NOT standing out.
We need more skill videos Shawn ! That one was outstanding. I try to be as much part of the landscape as I can. Making videos helps me see my stuff like a sore eye so that I can be a bit more discreet. Thanks!
Steve Wallis makes it fun while showing you how to stealth camp anywhere. Love me some camping with Steve. He's the most recognized for a reason.
Only found camping with Steve recently love his stealth camping videos. There was one really funny one playing fake construction noises all night😂
Steve is such a laid-back guy. He provides fun content as well as some really good ideas for staying unseen by ordinary people. I watch The Corporal for more serious details and ideas but still entertaining in different ways. I heartily recommend both! I do wish someone would do a demo on light sources.
With the grey man principle, it's basically like any other camouflage. Dressed green in the desert, you will stand out....
You and Steve Wallis the only 2 i watch religiously. Id love to see a collab with the 2 of you!
Love the Camping with Steve shout out. You guys should do a collaboration sometime
"it's a stealth camp"
😂
good thing the reality of stealth camping was explained in the video
Big thumbs up for the shout out to Steve. Best stealth camping content online, and an excellent human being.
Happy Father's day to the Corporal and all the Dads out there in internet land.
I watch Steve Wallis and the Corporal, the best of both worlds!
Steve Wallis is my favorite. He's not trying to be anything other than a guy camping. None of the hipster Bush craft b.s.
Love the Steve Wallis respect.
The Sunday drop has arrived!
Happy Father's day to all the Dads.
Back when I was on tanks in the Army every time we went out to NTC to train for a month we would spend the first and last weeks in "The Desert Shades".
Each tank has 4 crew. Each crewmember had one shelter half. Drivers and loaders then TCs and gunners would put their halves together to form a small pup tent that two people could somewhat comfortably sleep in.
When living on the tank during exercises, we would spin the gun tube over the back deck, put the turret in trav-lock, drape our tank tarp over the tube and tie it down to the 4 corners of the back deck and then manually elevate the tube until it created a "tent" we would all sleep under.
Since the tank engine is literally a jet turbine, it would keep everyone warm the whole night since it took many, many hours to cool down when shut off.
On deployments overseas, we slept inside the tank using various "sleep systems" created just for that. Think "tiny hammocks inside a tank".
One member of the crew would be awake all night on watch and we'd rotate through the crew.
Love the shout out to Steve Wallis he’s one of my favorites
Hunker Down!
...and a Step 2.
That time of the week again! Let’s do this!
Excellent, a shout out to Steve Wallis, love his videos! Been watching him for some years now and I’m pretty sure the algorithm from that led me here and I subscribed.
I think it led me from Corporal's Corner to Steve's. They're both giving information that is unique.
Steve Wallis is a Legend, love watching both of you guy's.
Sunday mornings drinking coffee and watching the corporal are some of my favs!
Second best part of Sunday, right after church!!!
A Very Happy And Blessed Father's Day, Shawn😎
I just wanna say I appreciate how you've just kept quality content pumping out year after year. You don't make it political, I've never had the sense anyone would feel uncomfortable watching your videos. They're just informational, entertaining and calming. Coming back to these videos over the years feels like visiting a cool uncle.
It would be great if you and Steve Wallis did a project together. Your solutions to problems are different, but the results are the same.
Awesome video as always! The way you managed the boil water to cook... simply great.
Thanks!
Grey man is about blending in to the area you are in.
True story. Flying as a crew chief on a Huey under NVG's I got a rude education on futility of light discipline against high tech devices. You could literally see what each troop was doing in their tent. Walking into the same tent later after our flight it was amazing how dim it was because they was using light discipline.
Thank-you for posting a little earlier! My online church service starts at 10:30 so this works out perfectly for me! 👍🏼
Corporal giving Steve an acknowledgement while putting tacticool in their place. Why I love this channel! Thank you for keeping it real and knowledgeable!
We love Camping with Steve Wallis! Been following him for years. Great video ! The blanket with sleeping pad pocket is a great invention.
Hey Corp Happy Fathers Day! Would love an update on how medium sized dude is doing! Great find on the sleeping bag too!❤
You should make a video on how to hide from AI in the woods. How to avoid a heat signature from a thermal sights. Things like that.
Green man isn't about strictly wearing jeans and non tactical gear it's about blending into whatever the rest of the people around you are wearing. So you in fact are practicing gray man by wearing what is common around you.
Greetings Corporals. One question I always have is how to avoid spiders and other crawling creatures when sleeping on the ground or without a tent.
Thank you and God bless.
Egg and cheese Biscuit , oh yeah.
Happy Father's day, Cpl. I hope it makes you happy to know that I teach my daughters the things I've learned from you here!
Another awesome vid. Gotta have the woobie...
Before camping like that, i would spray permethrin on all surfaces of all my gear and clothing. And then take further steps to guard against ticks.

When we going to see you meet up with Steve should make a grate episode
Stealth camping in a drive in hotel is fun.
Making a shelter under the bed covers and using a sleep lite bed roll inside that shelter...
covert camping at it's best.
Sunday corporals corner, Thursdays camping with steve and every few weeks ABCamping with Tony and Bruno 🤙🏼🙏🏻
Love the Steve shout-out!
I like the idea of the stealth fire but if I smell egg mcmuffins I'm going investigating. 😁
Another thing is to never ever collect fuel ( i.e. wood,sticks leaves, bark, and anything else you might use) around where you are camping go at least a half mile away
Dress for the occasion, to fit in. (Even if you have to wear your hat backwards. Ugh) 😏

Clothing comment was spot on. In the low country of SC it's common place!
Happy Father's day Corporal 😅
Just ordered it, Shawn. Great video, dude! Carry on Corporal!
That would be interesting you and Steve Wallis stealth camping
I like how you teach like everyone is new! Your videos are awesome
Happy Father's Day.
Enjoyed the latest offering with a good cigar.
I say again, the world needs a Corporal's Corner/Camping with Steve collaboration.
Great video yet again mate. Too many "Bushcrafters" in combats, chopping stuff up and lighting great big fired in public woodlands here in England.

Good sound advice you're sharing buddy
How's the boy? Hope he's keeping ok. Best wishes as always
CAMPING WITH STEVE!!!!
Again. The corporal Shows how it is done and gives insights nowhere else to be found. Thank you sir!
Nice I like that he showed Steve Wallis some respect and a shout out. Corporal and Steve are my 2 favorite channels!!!!!
Awesome you mentioned Steve, I watch his content as well, awesome guy.
I think this is the best one of your stealth videos yet. Always outdoing yourself, always outstanding AF.
Been watching Steve Wallis longer than Corporal. This channel was a suggestion while watching the other. Both are great, yet different.
Like your way of thinking, Corporal! Great explanation of stealth camping. We use to Sport camo pants back in the Rambo era. Of course i was raised in Central MO. Enjoy your educational videos and all content you provide! Thanks brother!
Good show, thanks Corp & happy father's day!

I'd also try to leave no trace that I was there.

I can never say enough great things about your videos it's such as an educational process you get out nature and all your problems seem to go away
Huge fan of Steve Wallis.
Brilliant as ever corporal. Always look forward to your videos.
Would you be prepared to send your patches to the UK?

It's not greyman unless it fits in tbh most folks wouldn't notice anything as they're glued to their phones.
I agree. Being unnoticed is both the area, and what the environment is.
For me stealth camping is about keeping my privacy and also improving my chances of seeing the fauna in its natural behavior.
A fire really is a dead giveaway if you're trying to be stealthy. I'd never cook with fire in a location I intend to camp. Last week I was out in my local woods and smelt wood smoke. It's bone dry right now in the summer weather so the risk of forest fires is high. I followed my nose upwind for about half a mile as I was concerned and wanted to find the source and it was a family with a disposable BBQ. I'm sure I came across as an asshole for my lecture! But my point is it's a distinctive smell and can be detected a long way off.
Corporal, I guess I have missed it but… what to do about ticks , chiggers, mosquitoes and other bugs? Thanks in advance and I’m digging your shows!
For most bug, smoke is what he said to use for a Deterrent
@@_.j._j-_.j smoke will not work for ticks and chiggers. Smoke is for flying pests.
I love camping with Steve (all about the step 2)
Another great video and some very good points about stealthiness. To me, the concept of "Gray Man" never meant actually dressing in gray.

@MrCorporalsCorner would love to talk…. What is you availability….
Just got my Lite Sleeper in today. I ordered it the day this video dropped. Over 2 months to get it. Your video crashed thier inventory!!!
That lite sleeper system is pretty badass....
Great tips brother! I do things a bit different but your way is not wrong!
any weird noises like bigfoot, ghost, UFOs, aliens, skinwalkers?
