Thanks for your inspiration, again! This week - tomorrow, I am turning in my letter of resignation to the place I have been working since May of 2020 - After a "bait & switch" job offer, and no way to grow in the position or company, I'm out! I'm going back to 1099 work and self-employment! I already know self-employment challenges, but it's all in my hands now whether I make or break the bank, minus the sacrifice of hours of my life for comfort in a little office all day doing next to nothing.
Haha. I was also thinking about that scripture of dog returning to eat its own vomit. At end of the day Corp sir. God wants to have a relationship with us not a religion. In the sense of being religious. I get that we as people maybe chat and one will ask the other : " hey what religion are you? " . But wise words and interesting things to think of and keep in mind. Yes ohh this work thing haha some days me and my colleagus we can complain. But yes coming back to the down and dirty things of business. Its business some companies dont care about your personal life, they dont want to hear it. You are there to make money and they pay you for your services provided wheter you build stuff for them or paint houses etc. I do see it in this way although i might not be completely right with argument. I see it as even though i am a employee , i provided a service to the company i work for. They pay me for that service so we are in a business . And like any one would do ; if someone doesnt want to do business or doesnt want to pay for services provided, well move on if possible. The reason i use that argument that way of thinking is i know im not just a worker. And if i would start my own business then i would need to have that state of mind even more. Of not just a worker but a service provider. Hope all my yapping makes sense 😅. Great video Corp as always.
As the word never comes back void maybe remember too the books of Revelations, Daniel & Ezekiel. The world is getting really biblical now I'm these last moments of time. No more last days. Just thinking of your salvation. God's Speed Corp.
wish you would sell us a few acres on payments. We would sign papers where it goes back to you when we pass. No one will let us buy a small piece of dirt to grow fruits and veggies. Anyway, sorry to whine, you rock as always.
Sitting here in my driveway waiting on a locksmith because I locked myself out of my house last night. But this week’s Corporal’s Corner video just dropped so it’s all good.
That very powerful introspection is precisely what made me become something of an introvert. Even more than I already was. But those are very Good words to live by. Ones that were said by three generations of my family❤. Thank you very much for that sage reminder you have a beautiful day
One thing about it is God will love you forever no matter what you do. If you believe in him or not, he is there for you. All you have to do is ask for his forgiveness. God bless
I agree, ive had many jobs in ky 42 yrs, i became a father at 19, was chewed up and spit out by many companies, luckily for me the past 20 years ive been working for my parents at our catering company, my mom and my step dad are just as loyal to me as i am to them, and its amazing workimg somewere that your appreciated, i also started selling on ebay 3 years ago starting next summer im going fulltime in that i dud it during covid it was amazing my parents tell me all the time wenever im ready to go back to it fulltime there there to fully support me and help me out, if ut doesnt work out i can come back to working for them anytime i want, theres nothing like working for ppl who appreciate what you do and wat youve done for there company
Like you said it's a swinging door. I think the golden rule still applies for the most part: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. You were also right about most companies. I turn 62 this month and I'm retiring on the 31st. I've had enough, plus, hopefully more time in the woods :)
The difference is that people will bite you even if you treat them well. In fact, many people will backstab you PARTICULARLY if you treat them well, because they consider kindness to be weakness.
Worked at a company years back and the plant manager called all the employees trained monkeys, it took 6 men to pull one woman off him and she still had his neck tie wrapped around her hand and another guy had to cut the tie 😂!!! He was replaced and she got a month suspension!!!
I've said it before, but I'm jealous of your ability to dig without hitting rocks every 3 seconds. Here in New England, you'd have dug up enough large rocks to rim your firepit 6 inches high, easy. Keep 'em coming Corporal!
The one thing most people forget is “HUMIDITY” it can be so humid that a fire will be hard to start ,so got to know how to make fire 🔥when you are in that situation. Just keep doing what you are doing cause it is appreciated !!!
I tried to do that in Arkansas, once. I learned why they called the place Little Rock. After three hours of digging, I only got about six inches deep. I really learned the importance of having the right tools for the job, and an E-Tool wasn't it for that day.
Even though this was a simpler video. It was still a good show. I think that's one of the things I like about you. No hyper nonsense and no non essential flair. You make your videos interesting, informative and entertaining. Well, that's enough from me. Corporal, keep on keeping on brother.
Honor, duty, and reciprocity have guided my entire adult life. ‘Religion is the husk of faith’. Lao Zi(tsu). The t-shirt rocks dude. The strike first mantra is playing in my head.🤙
Absolutely love your videos, you’re Bushcraft skills are amazing. What impressed me most was years ago was you encouraging families to be together to go out to the woods and Enjoy life! Your final thoughts are spot on, you may be the least religious person, you know, but the “pulpit” you just sat on was extremely well used.
Nice one. I actually use this one to get down into cool dirt. With the poncho about around 12" high(not expecting bad weather), it makes for a comfortable night's sleep. I do give myself about 18" out the front before I put my pole. It gives a place to hang a lamp and a little more room for my over 50 beat up frame to maneuver through.
I may watch many different sites but you I watch ever Sunday. So far I have not missed your midweek. You show how to do so many different things, I don't have the extra money to buy much from your stores, wish I could but I stay with you for all the wonderful ideas and talents. Thank you so much for being so sane at all times.
Your shelter reminds me of something that my uncle taught me how to build when I was little he called it battle bed . I love learning something new / while being reminded of lessons that I learned as a child . Thank you for bringing back the memories of one of my first camping trips . 🙂
I grew up at a USAF base seeing planes every day. As a junior in high school, i got my private pilot license by busing tables & I cooked to pay for my pilot license, pay was $1.60/hr. I ran out of $$ and joined the Army Special Forces for the GI Bill flight training but as I processed out they canceled the GI Bill flight training and wanted me to enlist. I felt cheated = no loyalty to the Army. I was recruited by Law Enforcement and did that 10 years while building my flight time, and loyalty to LEO yep, ..... eventually got hired to the airlines, and in 2018 I retired from American Airlines / USAir after30 years (38 yrs total drawing flights paychecks) ........ very loyal to aviation but I admit the LEO job was because of the Special Forces (Green Beret) position, as was my Airline Job (of course I had all the required flight training but my whole interview was about my SF position). Bottomline is I have fond memories of my Army, LEO, and flying time. I do think that the military instills the confidence to be a leader, like you, and to succeed. Thank you for both of your military tours and your training presentations Shawn. You set an fine example for your son, and others. Thanks.
Another Great one here! As always you make it look so simple and when following your instructions, it is. Great tip on the Fatwood Nest! As far as the Final thoughts portion, Loyalty is a dying thing in the workplace and even starting to be amongst people. Corporate is all about what you can do for them so they can make more money! Loyalty in the military is a must and so many people that have never spent time in the military so don't understand that Loyalty. I was in the Army and always give other service members from the other branches a hard time but if someone else does it, I try to be the first to come to the other service members side. Loyalty for me is given and if not returned then it is stopped. Burn me once shame on you, burn me twice shame on me!! Keep up the great work and have a Great Week ahead!!
Another goodie❤ but I gotta add this, my favorite video to date, I love a few but the ( Solo overnight building a elevated jungle shelter in the woods its a must see, my top favorite)❤
I borrowed some of my mom's pruning shears that made quick work of all the roots where I dug the various things I dug at my fort. I also used them to cut palm fronds when I got stuck in an unexpected downpour because I wanted more space for myself and my gear than my military poncho would allow (someone gave it to me and it must not be one of the bigger ones but I also have a pretty huge backpack). Just one snip of a good pair of pruning shears gets the roots out quickly, easily, and very precisely too, just how I like it.
Guess I could also sharpen my folding shovel like my Army buddy suggested, but mine didn't come with a sheath so I wouldn't want to accidentally cut a hole in my backpack. I might make a stealth for it and sharpen it too. Still, there's nothing like a good pair of prune shears and it's not like they add much weight or space to your gear, plus my mom has like 20 of them so there's always a good pair around that she won't need. She also doesn't like to go out and do yard work on the days when I think it's a fantastic day because it's frankly cold out so far as other people are concerned. I am always too warm so I love a good cold day and I don't much care if it also rains.
"Do unto others as you would have done unto you"! Treat each other with kindness and respect, and expect it returned to you. Great video as always. As always the "king of fire"
You are not the least religious person in the world. I worked with a guy who was so anti-religious, when somebody sneezed we couldn't say "Bless you" so we started to say "May the force be with you"
Great job, as usual! Your loyal Followers have grown to expect it, and You always deliver it! In the case of the Corporals Corner brand, Yes, Loyalty goes both ways!
Another GREAT Sunday with the Corporal, out in the woods. Not much on sleeping below ground level but I can see that such a shelter could be necessary in some situations.
Gud day corporal! I like to watch your channel in making this vid. It is training and knowledge that makes marines a force of readiness. Am army reservist and I appreciated all.HUA.
Most excellent skirmisher trench...you would feel comfortable laying there all day.Precision build,with ideas for expansion or seasonal adaptation.Thanks,you never cease to amaze us.
Vital truths, Shawn. Points up what I'm going through with the large company I work for now. They profess to care for their employees; but truthfully only see the bottom line. I'm preparing to bail out with no regrets in the next two months. I've got to see for myself first and foremost. Thanks for the entertaining video. S.S. McWhorter
Your final thoughts are perfect, I look forward to that part of your videos just as much as the bushcraft part. Love the content, and can't wait till next video
Hey Corporal, I know you've talked about your ready reserve re-entry back into the USMC after Gulf War II broke out, but maybe you might dedicate an episode to discussing some of your experiences there - e.g., life on the battlefield, particular battles you were engaged in, good days / bad days, etc.. Maybe you don't want to talk about it. Or, maybe it could be cathartic...? Guys like Shawn Ryan have great dudes like you on his podcast to talk about what they've done and what they're doing today. Could be great exposure for you...? Just saying. Thanks for all you do. I've learned a lot from your channel. Keep it coming.
For months I I've been reading between the lines on what your not saying, so no surprise on your departure. But what speaks volumes is the silence from SRO. Which is sad. I saw so many videos from past students who had nothing but praise for you. But silence from others that were so close is saddening. I wasn't there so I don't know the exact particulars, but either way some sort of appreciation and regret of departure with a fond farewell would have been nice. Just say'n, no bad mouthing. Been there too sucks to feel that. But on to other opportunities, and I wish you the best.
Awesome video and Final thoughts....good variety each week....loyalty is unconditional With family.....your followers are loyal and are here each week....anything can be over scrutinized and disected to the point of oblivion...so a little goes a long way. Be true to yourself.
That shelter is definitely going on the list. Not seen it done like that before. For the UK the only thing I would add is sme slightly more than finger thick shaped sticks as a double wall and fill the middle with either clay ot dry leaves. That would make it warmer I think. Either that or have it as a two tarp shelter with one end belled out to store things.
I found one of those cold handle skillet in my grandma/dad's stuff. It was so rusty, but when I saw that handle I knew what it was because of you. So cool thanks.
Not to worry brotherman, this Marine is in for the long haul. Your videos I thoroughly enjoy, not only do you bring back memories, I"am also learning new stuff. Thanks, " Semper Fi!"
I love your sunken bivy idea for stealth camping during hot weather camping. That flat bow fire start was so accomplished, it look like a cake walk! Love that fork! Might have to get me one
Staying with you on this outstanding AF Channel keep doing what you like to do work for this old paratrooper! Like it alot haven't been disappointed yet. Thank for your service once again!
I use a TL-122 angle flashlight with my LBE. Perhaps the nostalgia aspect, they do have LED bulbs you can buy to replace the old lamps. I like to use the flashlight for stealth camping because the red and blue filters combined does a pretty good job of purple black out light. The flashlight it self is relatively water proof, very rugged . New soliders in Military around 1990s were to have one, you go to the PX when you first hit basic training and they give you an allowance pay, you had a list of items to buy, thsi flashlight was on this list as well as batteries. Its my camp flashlight. May not be big and bright yet has its place as military gear, like said, using the filters for stealth camping or say some kind of situation for bugging out will be handy for keeping visibility , example in your shelter when you need to find some thing at night. I think would be a good vintage item to list.
Luckily human powered lawnmowers are still a thing at my local hardware. Keeping one "sharp" with a file as needed is a good past time while rewatching old Corporals Corner videos.
We did skirmish trenches 2 ft off hiking trails in Germany when I trained with the 10th SF in Reforger 77. Camo cover was the key and being very still and quiet.

Sitting here in my driveway waiting on a locksmith because I locked myself out of my house last night. But this week’s Corporal’s Corner video just dropped so it’s all good.
You need a lychee tool from the lock picking lawyer
A hidden 🔑 key outside somewhere only you know about works great too 👍💡
Always have a spare keys hidden somewhere else. Good luck next time!
Man. How many of THOSE fuckers have I dug? Thanks for the memories.
My boss does reciprocate, not only does he tell me, he shows me.

A wise final thoughts corporal! I have the utmost respect for you!

Well, that's enough from me. Corporal, keep on keeping on brother.
I look forward to seeing your videos every week. Thanks for sharing your experiences. 😊
Thanks for the video!
Have a great week!
See you midweek!
Nice speech, truly agree hole heartedly.
Brother that keep geting better. And i think this was the best final thoughts yet to date. Awesome af.
I'm digging these kind of videos. I like the aspect of combining the Bushcraft with military defense positions.
I will stick with you. You're a great content creator!! Great techniques and real wisdom due to life experience!
Hang tuff young Marine! You have got it, just keep doing YOUR thing.
Sunday Funday at Corporals Corner. It blows my away the shape that your in! And the work you do..keep up the awesome work.
I watch your videos because the content is well done and informative I will continue to watch and look forward to the future videos
Great video AF. Love the trench concept. Lot of work in this. Fatwood tinder bundle great idea. Great food too. Thanks for all you do.
Honor, duty, and reciprocity have guided my entire adult life. ‘Religion is the husk of faith’. Lao Zi(tsu). The t-shirt rocks dude. The strike first mantra is playing in my head.🤙
Thank you again for the options and ideas. You put the information out there it is always welcome here. Keep up the great work. Thanks.
Love how much work you do for the channel 45 minutes for your sleep area. Great video!
Absolutely love your videos, you’re Bushcraft skills are amazing. What impressed me most was years ago was you encouraging families to be together to go out to the woods and Enjoy life! Your final thoughts are spot on, you may be the least religious person, you know, but the “pulpit” you just sat on was extremely well used.
Nice one. I actually use this one to get down into cool dirt. With the poncho about around 12" high(not expecting bad weather), it makes for a comfortable night's sleep.
I do give myself about 18" out the front before I put my pole. It gives a place to hang a lamp and a little more room for my over 50 beat up frame to maneuver through.
Excellent video, Shawn! I especially liked your final thoughts. The loyalty point was a great one!
All I can say is. Dude, you love your chow. Beats the hell out of MRE's!!!
And cheaper
Great shelter, and excellent final thoughts!
Second best part of Sunday right after church!
One of your best final thoughts!
I may watch many different sites but you I watch ever Sunday. So far I have not missed your midweek. You show how to do so many different things, I don't have the extra money to buy much from your stores, wish I could but I stay with you for all the wonderful ideas and talents. Thank you so much for being so sane at all times.
Your shelter reminds me of something that my uncle taught me how to build when I was little he called it battle bed .
I love learning something new / while being reminded of lessons that I learned as a child .
Thank you for bringing back the memories of one of my first camping trips . 🙂
I grew up at a USAF base seeing planes every day. As a junior in high school, i got my private pilot license by busing tables & I cooked to pay for my pilot license, pay was $1.60/hr. I ran out of $$ and joined the Army Special Forces for the GI Bill flight training but as I processed out they canceled the GI Bill flight training and wanted me to enlist. I felt cheated = no loyalty to the Army.

Thank you for your courage, service and sacrifice. I appreciate you and all service members. Thank you.
Old school corporal. Watching this brings back some old feelings I haven't felt in years. Outstanding job sir.

I always forget to like it, I usually remember when it's a particularly good one. But today I even got my husband to watch along too.
Great shelter this week, and appreciate the friction fire. It’s just great to refresh this skillset by watching an expert. Thanks.
Another goodie❤ but I gotta add this, my favorite video to date, I love a few but the ( Solo overnight building a elevated jungle shelter in the woods its a must see, my top favorite)❤
Glad you are officially untethered. Exciting times and bigger opportunities are on the horizon.
I borrowed some of my mom's pruning shears that made quick work of all the roots where I dug the various things I dug at my fort. I also used them to cut palm fronds when I got stuck in an unexpected downpour because I wanted more space for myself and my gear than my military poncho would allow (someone gave it to me and it must not be one of the bigger ones but I also have a pretty huge backpack).

Another GREAT Sunday with the Corporal, out in the woods. Not much on sleeping below ground level but I can see that such a shelter could be necessary in some situations.
Nice build, great video, thank you.
No company that I worked for never was loyal to me, just a one way street but I am blessed and surviving well at age 71!🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
Enjoyed the video with the grandkids this morning. Thank you for keeping the videos family friendly with skills.
Gud day corporal! I like to watch your channel in making this vid. It is training and knowledge that makes marines a force of readiness. Am army reservist and I appreciated all.HUA.
Just great watching these videos on a Sunday night. Thank you 👍
Most excellent skirmisher trench...you would feel comfortable laying there all day.Precision build,with ideas for expansion or seasonal adaptation.Thanks,you never cease to amaze us.
Thanks for the instruction! Dry, full and warm. That should do.

Been a long long horrible day...but finally back and sitting down to watch a happy relaxing educational video
Thanks for this great video. Brought back some great memories 🙏🙏🙏
So true. Business is business and friendship is friendship. Business relationships are transactional while friendships are reciprocal.
If you're gonna do something...go all out. Supporting your new direction!!! Go get it.
Thank you for more great information.
Your final thoughts are perfect, I look forward to that part of your videos just as much as the bushcraft part. Love the content, and can't wait till next video

Always something useful presented with an explanation of the how and why.
Awesome video and Final thoughts....good variety each week....loyalty is unconditional
With family.....your followers are loyal and are here each week....anything can be over scrutinized and disected to the point of oblivion...so a little goes a long way. Be true to yourself.
That shelter is definitely going on the list. Not seen it done like that before. For the UK the only thing I would add is sme slightly more than finger thick shaped sticks as a double wall and fill the middle with either clay ot dry leaves. That would make it warmer I think. Either that or have it as a two tarp shelter with one end belled out to store things.
Thank you for another very cool build! I will keep watching and be supportive!
Very few companies respect loyalty. Thanks for the build it was interesting.
Great video … liked the shellscrape shelter… thanks for sharing your thoughts 🍻👍
I always look forward to mid week and Sunday videos. It's an enjoyable and ongoing voyage....👍👍
Bravo corporal. Alway good to see different options, especially shelters. Final thoughts are dead on balls accurate! Thanks.
Also lovingly known as a "ranger grave". Two M16s long and one wide
Still here , still listening 👍❤️👍
Thank you for keeping it practical.
Thanks for another good one! Simple is best.
I found one of those cold handle skillet in my grandma/dad's stuff. It was so rusty, but when I saw that handle I knew what it was because of you. So cool thanks.
Thanks Corporal. Great words of wisdom. I can’t wait to see what’s in store with you in the future.
Thank you sir, for all your work and this channel!
very much on point on loyalty
Interesting food for thought on your final thoughts. Have a great week!
I had the giggles when you were talking to us from the grave - illusion is all - your lips appeared HUGE!!!!
Another great educational video
Not to worry brotherman, this Marine is in for the long haul. Your videos I thoroughly enjoy, not only do you bring back memories, I"am also learning new stuff. Thanks, " Semper Fi!"
Another interesting and entertaining video Shawn! Loyalty is a great word! Your analogies are spot on as usual! Thanks!
excellent ,versatile in many situations and easy to build, thanks for the training..
I love your sunken bivy idea for stealth camping during hot weather camping. That flat bow fire start was so accomplished, it look like a cake walk! Love that fork! Might have to get me one
Thank you Corporal enjoyed the educational video once again. Excellent AF
Staying with you on this outstanding AF Channel keep doing what you like to do work for this old paratrooper! Like it alot haven't been disappointed yet. Thank for your service once again!
I use a TL-122 angle flashlight with my LBE. Perhaps the nostalgia aspect, they do have LED bulbs you can buy to replace the old lamps. I like to use the flashlight for stealth camping because the red and blue filters combined does a pretty good job of purple black out light. The flashlight it self is relatively water proof, very rugged . New soliders in Military around 1990s were to have one, you go to the PX when you first hit basic training and they give you an allowance pay, you had a list of items to buy, thsi flashlight was on this list as well as batteries. Its my camp flashlight. May not be big and bright yet has its place as military gear, like said, using the filters for stealth camping or say some kind of situation for bugging out will be handy for keeping visibility , example in your shelter when you need to find some thing at night. I think would be a good vintage item to list.
Killing it as always Corporal, keep up the good work. Most consistent and humble UA-cam creator out there 🫡
Corporals' dry & cool trench camp, meat & potatoes and loyalty thoughts for the win!
Excellent video! I'm really enjoying the Keep It Simple series! Great "Final Thoughts" message today!
Luckily human powered lawnmowers are still a thing at my local hardware. Keeping one "sharp" with a file as needed is a good past time while rewatching old Corporals Corner videos.
We did skirmish trenches 2 ft off hiking trails in Germany when I trained with the 10th SF in Reforger 77. Camo cover was the key and being very still and quiet.
Thanks for the great drop. I look forward to these videos.
The " old school campouts" are my fave right now can't get into woods, so ty.
