Hi Shawn! With Trapping heat, @ least for the next few days during the day time, it'll get up to almost the mid 50's so, nice to have some preview of spring. I wish somebody would do a bushcraft survival school around my area of Western MA., the only one I know of but it's not offered a lot might take place @ Greenfield Community College, but again, the 1 guy I met that said they taught it, isn't there a lot, if 1/2 the time, @ all & it's not really offered as a "class" in their curriculum.
Just took my granddaughter camping last night basing the camp off a previous build of yours. She loved it and has become one of your new fans. Overnight temperature 27 degrees F
@@SkipStevens I have made this point. From what I have seen though is Kelly puts out content and Canterbury has to crap on it, then Kelly has to respond to explain why "one size" does not fit all. I haven't heard Kelly denigrate anything Canterbury has done except in response. I think Dave is trying to call Shawn's skills and abilities into question to keep his school from taking off. I personally couldn't giving someone the position of lead instructor in my own organization, then within a few years try to tell everyone on the internet that he doesn't know what he's talking about. But I have humility, which is about as common today as common sense.
@@jimvanzant5121 yeah, I get that. It’s just you would think two grown men could build their own brand without downing someone else. I know that’s the way things are a lot of the time, but it just gets old.
@@SkipStevensSadly, a number of people in the bushcraft community seem to be hyper sensitive, petty men that can't take criticism and consider it a personal insult. They can still produce good content, but the super inflated, fragile egos are really annoying.
Yeah, but i guess it's also kind of expected from the business point of view. At the end, they are just trying to make their businesses grow, if in the process they can trash a bit the competition... They will do it.
Hello, I’m a 73 year old Vietnam Veteran and retired Law Enforcement Officer. Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your videos. I don’t think I’ve missed one the last few years. It’s so much more educational than anything on television. Keep it up. I’m to become a member or patron as soon as as I get paid next month. Thanks again for all the hard work you do for us. 💪 OUTSTANDING
Thank you for making this follow up to last week. I watched Dave’s mid week and thought it was a great idea but far from the only one. It was off putting watching him watching him say what you had just shown didn’t work and his explanations of heat transfer were completely cringe worthy. I wanted to share that one of the things I love about all your videos is that you teach one size does not fit all and one of the skills that nearly every one of your videos incorporates is how to think a adapt skills and concepts to what you have at hand for both materials, geography, weather and your current physical condition. Please keep up the great work.
16:38 Speaking of heat bubbles around a fire source.... Working in the Alberta oilfield, running a 40 ft flare stack off the well head while testing/collecting condensate etc. The flame at night was fully the 30-40 feet itself, above the stack. Like a giant torch. Now, it's below negative 40 degrees, and that's both Celsius and Fahrenheit. Which is neat. The snow banks around the site, are over 3 feet deep when we show up, and it blizzards almost every day. Running that flamestack, (for safety) You can stand 50 feet away, and your front is warm but your back is chilly. And after a day and night, the entire area around the stack is bare ground, out to that roughly 50 feet out, where the heat bubble loses power, and its just a wall of snow. Just a sheer drop, where the heat cut into the snowbank. So cool. And that just goes to prove how much heatwave radiates down... Proving that there is a sphere or bubble, of warmth, around the flame... In addition to the column of hot air rising off the fire. Is it hottest, above the flame, of course. Is there an absence of heat around the flame? Negative. If you can see the flame, heatwaves are radiating towards you.
Up your game on your “arbor knot” and check out Coalcracker Bushcraft’s video “the tightest knot you can tie.” Better finish than trying to press the overhand knot as close in as you can. Love your channel. Keep it up
Years ago, in BWM magazine, I read about a trapper in the boreal, who basically just carried a tarp and half a thick wool blanket for cover year round. Neat to learn those old skills. I love these basic, in the dirt, videos. Thanks Corporal.
You are very good at explaining how your setups work. I appreciate that . I'm trying to get my grandson interested in actually getting out and practicing. You straight forward style and using KISS makes learning a lot easier for people who have no experience with camping or outdoor activity. You are, in fact, OUTSTANDING !
I'm a jobless homeless marine infantry. Retired soldier. Corporals corner is the real McCoy. SEMPER FI!! Love the videos I'm a E5 marine. You give me hope where I just wanna give up on life! Thank you for giving us a great video your a badass!!
Simple but effective took me awhile to really keep that model going when camping but it helps alot in the long run plus I'm not in my 20s anymore helps keep my energy up not going above and beyond
Watched thirty (30) minutes after the upload. Now approaching midnight in SE Asia. Thank you, I have something to think about as I drift off to sleep. This is a great shelter for the higher elevations in the mountains,176 km north of our location.
I make pretty much all of my on gear. No lie. Im very poor. And I like taking trash and turning it into my tools. Your great at stimulating all of my opportunities to actually make and utilize the natural resources that are available. And yes I ,use the same resources. ( just knot as well as u) Thanks again.sir.
Next video idea: a super shelter with a plastic tarp. Also feel free to mention about trapping heat: the bigger coat or jacket that loose keeps you the warmer that a skin tight jacket because your body is warming the air around you and creating a micro climate rather than a skin tight jacket!
I've said it before in your comments but I'm so happy that you talk while your doing the action. It really helps me and possibly others know what's going on and why you are doing it. I appreciate it. In my opinion it has elevated you as a UA-camr.
Another awesome video. Lately I feel like another UA-cam channel is trying to say you are wrong on everything. Keep doing you and what you do best. Teaching us survival
Being a woman of a certain age I couldn't carry those lg logs. However I could do that on a smaller scale. Love learning these tips. On another topic I have a hatchet/axe but it is not sharp like yours. I would love to learn how to properly sharpen an axe. Maybe a mid week vid idea??
Very much like a small temp camp a friend of mine has at his deer lease. He built 2 wind break walls though in an "L" shape, and he put some cinder blocks to hold his grill for his fire. As long as he keeps the fire small to medium sized he stays toasty warm for hours.
Out standing sir. I like learning from solders and using army gear. It’s tried and tested for years. It might be a bit heavier and take looking after it eg canvas, but in a big storm way up in the high country with no phone reception or means of communication (except UHF which is useless in a gully ect.) you really appreciate the quality and strength. I actually enjoy a storm if my tent is up. It’s not much fun in a swag next to the fire in bad weather. Gotta stoke the fire a lot but after a few days of feeding it Aussie hardwood they throw out a massive amount of heat. Red gum burns slow and hot so I usually put a few 10 or 20 inch log or some big rounds on and she’ll go all night usually
Shawn, you need to discuss the placement of the boards for the bed; i.e. the thicker ones at the shoulders and the hips. Not everybody is going to be able to find equally thick trees to cut down for their bed. You can get by with placing thin ones at the head, thicker ones at the shoulders, waist to hips, and smaller ones at the feet. That way you can use the whole tree.
One of the wisest things I learned from Corporal. Is if you are on the outside, in a survival situation. If you can, make shelter near useful resources at all times. And make your situation as comfortable as possible.
A simple design for survival. On your own property it is easy to keep past designs and woodcraft aside to reinvent for the next show. I would like to see you go back to show how your other tiny cabins and bushcraft has survived the winter, and its use for the new season. thankyou. keep safe.
Just got my Hardcore hammer CC edition axe 😁 it's razor sharp out of the box and can shave hair. It looks so aesthetically pleasing too I love it 👌🏽👌🏽 can't wait to use it soon!
Circle the wagons wasn't just for defense. That was standard camp, fire front and center, sleeping in a circle around the fire. Been done since the beginning of time folks.
Have you been to Australia before? You would love it here doing a bushcraft series here. Just ask Dave I think he enjoyed it. If you come you have to do the Victorian high country we have more snow then the Swiss alps here. If you look at a map of Australia and look at Victoria you will see green and mountains that’s the Hight country. Ned Kelly country
Thank you Sir for all of your teachings and lessons. I appreciate you and your channel ❤ while I cant do what you do (I'm handicap) I love watching your videos so i know what to do just in case. God bless you and yours always 🙏 ❤
Love it, keep the great things for the outdoor activities going you are the best, and always share your military knowledge and experience keep it up you are the best person I have found on UA-cam, and continue to do it for people like myself who is on hospice care and have a harder time to get out of bed. Sincerely! R.S.V.
Video idea: shelter during high winds and low temps. We just visited Reelfoot State Park in TN and the first night had a constant wind of 20-30 mph and a wind chill around 20F. It was an exciting first night lol!
Shawn, I am always amazed when make these fires without clearing the dry debris away that you never set a major out of control fire. Circa 1964 a neighbor kid burnt himself with a match and threw it landing on the ONLY small cluster of fox tails. That burst into flames, tossing dirt on it did nothing. Within seconds the other weeds 12' plus feet away magically burst into out of control flames going everywhere. Of course I got the blame and punishment. The fire-bug free and clear!!
*Some things about Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow:* Three types of heat: 1. *Conduction* (heat energy transferring from a hotter substance to a cooler substance) 2. *Convection* (circulation of fluids (air, water, etc) caused by heat energy moving from hot to cold, taking the fluid with it.) 3. *Radiation* (the energy given off by the process of an energy reaction (i.e burning wood) producing infrared waves on the EMWR (electromagnetic wave radiation) spectrum. These waves include radio waves, infra-red waves, light waves, microwaves, etc. The radiative heat emitted by the fire is infra-red heat, on the electromagnetic wave radiation (EMWR) spectrum, as are light waves. These infrared waves radiate from the fire just like light waves do, but infrared waves are very short range waves; this necessitates an object to be more or less close to the fire to receive the heat energy (infra red waves). Anything non-transparent and solid, blocks these waves -- and depending on its composition, the blocking object will more or less absorb the energy (heat) from these waves. These infrared waves travel (emit) like light waves do -- mostly straight outward -- and can be reflected just like light waves are reflected, but not as far. *Think of a campfire as "shining" its heat out, like a light bulb.* These straight-out infrared waves will strike any Mylar, wood, earth, and structures, and *give up their heat* as they strike objects, The objects *absorb* the infrared waves, thus warming up the structure, earth, and whatever else they hit, transferring the heat energy further, through the process of *Conduction* (transferring heat from one hotter object to a cooler object), and this heat will spread quite nicely within the structure, warming everything up. *With the exception of the reflecting Mylar, the radiation (or "shining) part of the process stops here.* The objects which were radiated by these heat waves will warm up at the rate determined by what material substance they are, and what their "heat carrying capacity" is (i.e. metal heats up and stores heat faster than wood). Any useful reflection of infrared waves *must* be off a *light-reflective* surface, the best being Mylar. As the structures and earth get warmer, they will have absorbed so much heat (their "heat-carrying capacity"), that the heat energy will naturally begin to leave, causing a heat-flow fluid action (i.e. air) movement, called *Convection,* not to be confused with *Radiation.* Although it can be said that the heat seems to be "radiating out", there are no infra-red electromagnetic waves in it. The molecules within the heated substance are just "excited" (and so, heated up) by the absorbed radiation of the infrared waves, so this is not their own "radiation"; heat is not emitted, -- heat "flows" -- only infrared waves are emitted. Make sense? This convective air will now begin to circulate within the shelter, and its surroundings, *establishing the micro-climate.* Once the objects one wishes to warm up, absorb all the heat they can, they will start allowing the heat to flow out -- if the heat is not contained (think insulation), -- these structures will begin to cool off. If maintaining a *constant* heat level is needed, then the campfire must be maintained at the heat transfer rate of the surroundings, or higher, if *more* heat is desired. A degree change in any object is a function of what the substance actually is, its "specific heat carrying capacity", and the amount of heat (btu's, i.e.) put into it. Metal heats up and retains heat better than wood
A good example of how this all creates a microclimate - the sort gardeners take advantage of, in particular. When I still lived in the city, there was an historic building up the block from us. It was built of red bricks. Along the south facing wall, there was a row of decorative plum trees Under normal conditions, this was not ideal; there wasn't a lot of space between the sidewalk and the building, their root growth would be restricted by city infrastructure, and they were exposed on the sidewalk side to the turbulent winds blowing up from the valley below. Every year, the wall side of the trees would start blooming weeks ahead of the rest of the trees. The red brick walls absorbed heat from the sun, then radiated the heat back out again after dark, extending the warming period the branches closest to the wall would get. The branches on the sidewalk side, however, were already too far away from the radiated heat to get any advantage from it.
Another way to look at it is that Shawn breaks down into details and steps that are easy to understand. Not only does he make it look easy, it is easy to create the same process or project.
Hey Mr. Kelly. I just wanted to take a minute to tell you that I really appreciate what you do with your channel. I just typed in solo overnight and wouldn't you believe that 90% of the videos were yours? I love watching gear review videos but hardly anyone actually gets out there and sets up a shelter and puts in any actual work other than running their jaw muscles from the comfort of their house, some will actually get out there take their bag apart in the woods but that's usually the extent of it. You really do put in a lot of work and provide education and entertainment that is unmatched. Your videos are always badass I and I hope you keep doing what you do!
Yeah, I saw Dave’s vid too…..just keep doing you. Your methods work and always have👍🏼…..and I agree….Mylar doesn’t hold up, save it until you actually need it👍🏼
Hot air always go up, it is lighter (less dense) than cold air, that's physics. So, indeed, you don't need to be in the level of the fire to get warmth.
I would be inclined to keep the hoodies and zips in the store for the summer. I actually use the zips during the summer because it gets chilly at night and they are lighter than a coat. They are perfect for when you are wearing t-shirts and tank tops.
Awesome build. Looking at that in the light bulb came on. The old style military mosquito bar that went inside the canvas military shelter halves would go over that perfectly during mosquito and bug season would a tarp over it.
Thanks for all the good info! There a lot of other ‘camping’ videos that should be studied too! We face an uncertain future. Learn everything you can about this subject!

Hi Shawn!

I am subscribed but your video wasn't in my Sunday feed today. I had to look for you.
Just took my granddaughter camping last night basing the camp off a previous build of yours. She loved it and has become one of your new fans. Overnight temperature 27 degrees F
I really enjoy watching you and David Canterbury go back-and-forth on your videos. Keep doing what you’re doing. Good job.
It gets kind of annoying though. Just make content videos, and quit dragging each other.

Your explanation about trapping heat was very helpful AF. Very clear and concise.
Allways liked this bed setup. Thanks for video and your continued teachings

Within seconds the other weeds 12' plus feet away magically burst into out of control flames going everywhere. Of course I got the blame and punishment. The fire-bug free and clear!!
Outstanding A.F video, once again 👏 Thank you for taking the time to share 🫡
Love your videos keep up the amazing work. It show people how to live when be homeless. And plus camping be safe and have fun
"Outstanding " good learning idea, keep moving, 👌
Very handy stuff… good to know…🤙
Really liked the video this week! Will continue to watch as well as potentially order other items. Thanks
Another fantastic video from the Corporal! Thanks for sticking to it CPL Kelly!
Excellent video! Simplified, common sense. Thanks!
Can you do a tutorial on how to tie the different knots you use and when they are useful!
He’s got a ton of older videos where he describes and demonstrates multiple knots for multiple uses.
*Some things about Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow:*
Three types of heat:
1. *Conduction* (heat energy transferring from a hotter substance to a cooler substance)
2. *Convection* (circulation of fluids (air, water, etc) caused by heat energy moving from hot to cold, taking the fluid with it.)
3. *Radiation* (the energy given off by the process of an energy reaction (i.e burning wood) producing infrared waves on the EMWR (electromagnetic wave radiation) spectrum. These waves include radio waves, infra-red waves, light waves, microwaves, etc.
The radiative heat emitted by the fire is infra-red heat, on the electromagnetic wave radiation (EMWR) spectrum, as are light waves. These infrared waves radiate from the fire just like light waves do, but infrared waves are very short range waves; this necessitates an object to be more or less close to the fire to receive the heat energy (infra red waves).
Anything non-transparent and solid, blocks these waves -- and depending on its composition, the blocking object will more or less absorb the energy (heat) from these waves.
These infrared waves travel (emit) like light waves do -- mostly straight outward -- and can be reflected just like light waves are reflected, but not as far. *Think of a campfire as "shining" its heat out, like a light bulb.* These straight-out infrared waves will strike any Mylar, wood, earth, and structures, and *give up their heat* as they strike objects, The objects *absorb* the infrared waves, thus warming up the structure, earth, and whatever else they hit, transferring the heat energy further, through the process of *Conduction* (transferring heat from one hotter object to a cooler object), and this heat will spread quite nicely within the structure, warming everything up. *With the exception of the reflecting Mylar, the radiation (or "shining) part of the process stops here.*
The objects which were radiated by these heat waves will warm up at the rate determined by what material substance they are, and what their "heat carrying capacity" is (i.e. metal heats up and stores heat faster than wood).
Any useful reflection of infrared waves *must* be off a *light-reflective* surface, the best being Mylar.
As the structures and earth get warmer, they will have absorbed so much heat (their "heat-carrying capacity"), that the heat energy will naturally begin to leave, causing a heat-flow fluid action (i.e. air) movement, called *Convection,* not to be confused with *Radiation.* Although it can be said that the heat seems to be "radiating out", there are no infra-red electromagnetic waves in it. The molecules within the heated substance are just "excited" (and so, heated up) by the absorbed radiation of the infrared waves, so this is not their own "radiation"; heat is not emitted, -- heat "flows" -- only infrared waves are emitted. Make sense? This convective air will now begin to circulate within the shelter, and its surroundings, *establishing the micro-climate.*
Once the objects one wishes to warm up, absorb all the heat they can, they will start allowing the heat to flow out -- if the heat is not contained (think insulation), -- these structures will begin to cool off. If maintaining a *constant* heat level is needed, then the campfire must be maintained at the heat transfer rate of the surroundings, or higher, if *more* heat is desired.
A degree change in any object is a function of what the substance actually is, its "specific heat carrying capacity", and the amount of heat (btu's, i.e.) put into it. Metal heats up and retains heat better than wood
A good example of how this all creates a microclimate - the sort gardeners take advantage of, in particular.
When I still lived in the city, there was an historic building up the block from us. It was built of red bricks. Along the south facing wall, there was a row of decorative plum trees Under normal conditions, this was not ideal; there wasn't a lot of space between the sidewalk and the building, their root growth would be restricted by city infrastructure, and they were exposed on the sidewalk side to the turbulent winds blowing up from the valley below.
Every year, the wall side of the trees would start blooming weeks ahead of the rest of the trees. The red brick walls absorbed heat from the sun, then radiated the heat back out again after dark, extending the warming period the branches closest to the wall would get. The branches on the sidewalk side, however, were already too far away from the radiated heat to get any advantage from it.
@@AMKB01 very interesting.
As always Shawn, you make it look SO very easy - Great Info👍👍👍
Another way to look at it is that Shawn breaks down into details and steps that are easy to understand.
Not only does he make it look easy, it is easy to create the same process or project.
Consistently learning more and more as I watch your videos. THANKS FOR SHARING!!
Nice
I'm just leaving a comment to help with the algorithm! 👍
Can't beat a corporal corner video. Full of knowledge and skills.
Hey Mr. Kelly. I just wanted to take a minute to tell you that I really appreciate what you do with your channel. I just typed in solo overnight and wouldn't you believe that 90% of the videos were yours? I love watching gear review videos but hardly anyone actually gets out there and sets up a shelter and puts in any actual work other than running their jaw muscles from the comfort of their house, some will actually get out there take their bag apart in the woods but that's usually the extent of it. You really do put in a lot of work and provide education and entertainment that is unmatched. Your videos are always badass I and I hope you keep doing what you do!
Yeah, I saw Dave’s vid too…..just keep doing you. Your methods work and always have👍🏼…..and I agree….Mylar doesn’t hold up, save it until you actually need it👍🏼
I also did an over nighter, similar setup. Wasn’t too bad last night.
I'm new to your channel and I learned a lot your vidios. Thank you so much sir! More power to you and god bless you always. From Philippines 🇵🇭
Hot air always go up, it is lighter (less dense) than cold air, that's physics. So, indeed, you don't need to be in the level of the fire to get warmth.
some have a hard time with this and make hour long presentations stating otherwise
Great job Shawn!
Love how you make your videos. You explain things so that even someone that doesn't have a ton of outdoor knowledge can follow along and learn
Looks good
Another informative vid, thanx.
I would be inclined to keep the hoodies and zips in the store for the summer. I actually use the zips during the summer because it gets chilly at night and they are lighter than a coat. They are perfect for when you are wearing t-shirts and tank tops.
Time for a $40 goodwill challenge vs a $40 dollar store /Walmart vs $0 scrounge hobo challenge
Awesome build. Looking at that in the light bulb came on. The old style military mosquito bar that went inside the canvas military shelter halves would go over that perfectly during mosquito and bug season would a tarp over it.
Wow, that rise n shine cheeseburger looks mighty good !!!!
Thanks for all the good info!
There a lot of other ‘camping’ videos that should be studied too!
We face an uncertain future. Learn everything you can about this subject!
I used a plow point tarp set up to do pretty much the same thing just a few days ago as it is winter here. Worked great.
Yes!! Burger is back!
Outstanding as usual.
