Good to see a soldier of the NZ defense force going strong to this day. Both of my families carry titles in all the forces, although few come close to your experience: -Father's a Flight Sergeant Uniform and Fabric/Graphics designer, and leads the team that makes new uniforms for Air Force recruits in Woodbourne. -Mother's the Main accommodations and Catering manager for ESS, and manages all the people across the bases around NZ after being primarily based in Woodbourne and Bernham pre-2020. (She is only civil but she makes sure that the military and civil visitors are well-fed and maintained throughout the sites like Waiouru, Devonport, Linton and all the others) -Family member in my mother's side is a distinguished rank in the army, (Don't want to give too much away for classification reasons but they're along the lines of a 4-star major/colonel [Don't remember which one] that is based in the lower north island) -I do plan to enlist as an Aviation Engineer in the future myself, but I'm currently gaining life experience and am trying to lose as much weight as possible before going for it (Need the experience before going in, I'm currently overweight for my body class and a bit out of shape after a bad few years prior) -Great Grandfather served in WWII as Navy (He was a Retired Reverend in Motueka before he passed in his 90's) Thank you for your service.
Don’t call us a soldier. We have earned the special privilege of being called a "Marine." Calling a Marine a soldier, to us, is degrading because that is not what we are. Semper Fi.
This guy is legit. Says what needs to be said. Doesn't over do it like every other person doing these vids. Makes me sad I didn't have a dad growing up haha
I'm a Scoutmaster and I'm seriously missing teaching my scouts stuff like this. Virtual meetings are fine, but nothing compares to actual hands on when teaching this skill craft.
What I really like about you, is that you actually care. You say, what’s important and why. And unlike every UA-camr, you actually read the comments. I’m definitely going to subscribe.
I just showed my husband this video tonight (he's still in a nursing home). He really enjoyed it and said, "that guy is smart!" I call him my Daniel Boone because he has hunted deer with an 1891 Marlin lever action safety rifle (mine now), has trapped, skinned, and mounted small animals and tanned deer hides, and has fished the creeks in western New York and Lake Erie for walleyes (also other fish) and used to catch frogs to sell or eat their legs, which he loves. Yet, he never learned what you teach. So, thank you.
Kentucky has much better rates but we have rattlesnakes and copperheads that love to snuggle. Oh and mosquitoes and ticks that will carry you off if the bears and coyotes and wolves, mountain lions don't lmbo
@@2DEEPMUZIKK this place has turned into a third world country almost overnight. Stores closed etc, have to carry all the time because of the druggies and punks. You just need you a 'guy' to get you what you need and live freely as possible there.
You know, after thinking hard about a lot of videos.... this is the best video on what to do if you are lost in the woods.... what to carry, and more importantly, how to use what you carry. Thanks for posting this video.
Best Video Yet!! Outstanding, love the way you reinforce the basics and have links back to videos as refreshers. Keep building your CBoK (Corporal’s Body of Knowledge) as this is fast becoming a real treasure.
I hope he doesn't mind that I am downloading his videos and saving them for my personal archives. You know... Just in case the world ends and I no longer have access to UA-cam in all of its Glory
Corporal, been a fan for years. Going back and watching your earlier videos, I love 'um!! You sir, have come a long way!! Love the info! DON'T STOP!! We're here for you. My grandkids will learn what you are teaching. I'm no expert, but I enjoy soaking up the info!! God bless!! Love your site!!
Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels! Thank you. I'm so tired of the doom and gloom videos. I like the bushcraft camping of your videos. I feel like I'm actually learning something.
I've been a fan of your videos for years. I like the way you teach. I was all of a sudden homeless twice in my life and didn't have this knowledge, boy I wish I had. I absorb what I am capable of doing, and practice in my back yard , enjoying practicing the bush craft. I'm in Sebring Florida and it gets rainy in August and now September almost every day , thank you for showing craft in rainy weather too . I like the wind break all around, I feel safer. I'm 67 yrs old and having fun with your teachings Thanks!
Having served 4 yes in Navy and got out an e-4, I really can understand the level he speaks at. Not over my head, not crazy simple, just the facts to get it done properly.... great job, easy peezy lemon sqeezy.
67 now but when I was a scout they taught us to look down AND up. Dead stuff can fall on you. Doesn't happen often but it only takes once. Enjoyed the video.
One of the most profesional youtube bushcrafters/survivalists for sure. I love to hear you talk about why you do it and the reason behind it. Keep up the good work!
Never considered the full length fire pit. Great idea. I really like this setup. It could be built in small stages to conserve energy. If a person watches this video and builds his/her bug out bag or emergency kit with this shelter in mind, they could stay pretty comfortable in most situations.
I love the narrative. When I was 13 a young star scout I went thru a Snow Survivals BSA Test in a Saddle at the base of Sugarloaf Mt. 2 Explorer Leaders grabbed my 50 lbs. Backpack and 1,2,3 lobbed it into the 6’ Snow Universe as I watched and my first instinct I followed that pack 20 or so feet thru Ingulfing Snow. Today I watch your skill set and remember. 🇺🇸
Man, I love your attitude, your acumen and the way you present your stuff in a humble way. Fantastic vid! You are one one of these very, very rare guys one likes to have as best friend and brother in arms! Take care! Cheers from good old Germany
Love your videos!I'm learning so much and feel confident that I can survive with these skills.. I'm a woman but I'm also a survivalist. Keep your videos going
I'm hearing people saying they are too old for this, at 50 +, I'm 75, ex canadian military, same rank, Calgary Highlanders, and PPCLI airborne, have done solo trips since age 10 with no gear, a little gear, and too much gear, and this is so simple, it's living like a king/queen for you - first time to see this gents presentation, excellent. We did arctic conditions, with snow bank sleeping quarters, and similar - if you think you are too old, then change your thinking, I met 93 year olds still plying the Mackenzie river system from mid Albertra to the Mackenzie delta by canoe many years ago, They didn't know they were supposed to be too old. It's all in your attitude. fabulous info for the newbies, like it immensely - Im sure all you people will thrive on the cpls insights - I'm still going strong, and still learning new stuff....... top of the day to you all and to you Cpl. great stuff.
Could even stack up some rocks along the inside of the wall. They'll keep the heat well and help prevent the risk of it charring the walls. Awesome video man.
Yup, my thought too, though we a blessed with stupid amounts of rock. Only thing is, this is a temporary base camp. Rocks make it a little more permanent...
Corporal I was impressed by the way you broke branches in a tree Y. Quick and easy. Not all that sawing. Wood carrier was cool too. You make it look easy. That leaf mattress is an excellent idea. Thanks so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge. Loyal subscriber, Pat from southern Indiana
I love the simplicity of it all, no fancy, and expensive shiny kit, like this prepper just watched, showing his 40lbs of kit he put in his bug out bag. Keep it up!
Solid & valuable content, professional and easy-going presentation, absence of BS. Big thumbs up from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean! ATB, Gereon
4th time watching this one and now I can definitely say “ best bushcraft survival video ever”. Your absolutely awesome sir and one hell of a teacher. Thank you for all you put out. God bless and stay safe 🇱🇷🇱🇷
Great vid . Reminds me of when I was a kid building forts in the bush with my buddies . One thing we used to do was heat up rocks , grape fruit size rap them in a towel and put them in our sleeping bags . Put your feet on the rapped rock just don't rub them too much with your feet cause if it come unwrapped and you touch with your bare feet you will come dancing out of you sleeping bag let me tell you : )
Now I will follow the rule: Erect your tarp shelter, make your bed, take a giant step, lay your fire and build walls at least a foot away from the fire. That alone was worth watching this video at least 3 times.
amy fletcher In a way, since he said there was clay & mud, I'm a bit surprised he didn't opt to use it to fill in any gaps for his walls. The fire would've hardened it into a brick like substance, giving him a partial "spit & waddle" house / wall like structure
bali song Who are you too judge her mental status? Do you have a degree in psychology? Most likely not. It’s a comfort factor. You lock your doors at night before bed, right? Same thing is applicable here.
This is exactly the style of video we need from you! Taking your practical application and applying it to your camp with reinforcement from your excellent how to videos. You will be at 350k in no time! Keep it up.
This one is a great video. Love the setup! The only missing thing would be a roof to protect the fire if it was raining/snowing, like you built in another video. The firepit was awesome. Thank you for the lessons. 😊
I love your sleeping system and if mine don't work out I will check that one out and see about getting it. Your camp setup is superb and one I would love to build when camping out. You have the right idea of using the trash bags to help build your bed up off the ground and the walls you built up as well. I have learned so much by watching you and David Canterbury's videos and hope to put that knowledge into action when camping out. I will be checking out the gear you recommend on your site and see which ones I don't have and get them to add to my backpack as long as it don't add too much weight. Food is about the only thing I really need in my pack since I already have the basics in it. Thanks for sharing all the information with us all and I love watching your videos and learn something new each time.
I like your Simple Contraption for carrying firewood (made from bank line & 2 sticks) I bought one made out of fabric but yours is way simpler and much lighter !!! I really enjoy your "no BS tutorials" and always seem to learn at least 1 little more trick to the trade. Keep up the GREAT videos
Your videos pop up first on my recommended videos list. I love everything outdoors and have just started getting into survival and minimalism. Its difficult as a type 1 diabetic, but I haven't let that slow me down. Thanks for the content. I've learned alot from your videos and I have not seen a bad one yet. Your awesome dude.
This should be the first video anyone interested in getting started in bushcraft camping should see.. great info and covered a lot in a short while. Great job.
I watched this video corporal. You have taught me things I never knew where I grew up at in the woods. I will continue to watch all that you do and follow everything you teach
Me too! But then I get out there and think," what the hell do I do now?" Thats what he means by practicing bushcraft. "Hone those skills until you own those skills."
I hate camping but love spending time in the outdoors, mostly due to every camping experience I had as a teen being extremely cold and wet. Corporals Corner is starting to make me believe I should revisit this with better gear.
Salute Marine, I have learned a lot from you and I learned something new again. I appreciate you and continue teaching us great survival skills. Thank You, ✌🏾
WonderMonkey Outdoors everyone keeps mentioning that but for the bundle he carried it would be easier to just carry with your arms... if it was spikey wood maybe better but taking the 3-5 minutes to make that isn’t that worth it to Cary the load one handed. I don’t know I have long arms so it would be no problem for me
@@heartagramskater21 You are probably right, but it's still something that is good to have in your head in case the need ever came up. Maybe to do a two-person carry for some reason?
Love your channel, i dont always comment but felt i had to on this one since its just so damn good, your videos can save lives if ppl soak up and remember your info
Marine I’m not sure how religious you are, but I wanted to testify of your unexpected blessings to 3 little boys that lost their home , cars and everything in them in the Dec 10 tornados here in Bowling Green, Ky ,one 8 and two 9 yr olds, I had prayed to be able to help them some other way then monetarily and rides back and forth to FEMA/ assistance appointments .I work with their adoptive single mother named Angela, she asked if the boys Christmas gifts could be sent to our house as they are staying in a motel. They were , we opened the boxes to wrap them for her , these boys are apparently in to bush craft big time, and from my years of experience and picking up tips from you and other creators I have a lot of extra gear I’ve bought over he years., and it shall be theirs this Saturday , what you do is more of a community service than you or I ever knew, GOD bless you and thank you for your service beyond your enlistment
Dear Mr Kelly. I live in Brazil and around here we have regions of both heat and intense cold (42 to 43ºC and -5 to -8ºC). Of course, it's not like in the US where there are much lower temperatures, but I've had to camp without a tent at temperatures of -5°C, even getting sick because of my lack of preparation at that time and I know how much knowledge you're going through. now they are invaluable. I would like to greatly thank you for your detachment in imposing such rigor to show us these techniques and say that, as much as I can, I try to promote your channel among my outdoor sports friends so that it reaches the greatest number of interested as possible. May God grant you health and disposition and many blessings for these valuable lessons. PS. Forgive the language problems or any misunderstandings, as I don't speak your language and I had to use the google translator to express myself but I felt I should make you see how far your teachings have come. A big hug. Sandro M. Domanski
Sir, I am always impressed by how much effort and commitment you put into your many videos. I really have a lot of respect for that and really appreciate it. Thanks also for the inspiration and the immense amount of little tricks and hints. Good luck, "Semper Fi" and best regards from Frankfurt / Main Germany
You're the best! Practical stuff to do to make it easier for yourself, but still safe and functional. Equipment advice is a nice touch, and no axe to grind...just good stuff.
Hello Corporal, I am a 65 yr old Army veteran 1973-1976. I am getting a lil too old to get out in the woods, and fight the elements, and I really appreciate being able to do it through your videos. Thank you for not cursing, being vugar, and being family friendly. So much unnecessary trash out there :( It would be great if you got a troop and pass this amazing knowledge on to the kids, these kids need some guidance, and these techniques would inspire confidence, and an alternative to gangs and boredom.
You are NEVER too old. I am 62 (as of 2021) and two years ago I rode my bicycle from Houston to Stillwater, OK. 14days on the road and only four in modern shelter. Enjoy your life, only you know your limits.
Im gonna be honest new to this whole thing just started a shtf bag by suggestion of a friend whose attempting to teach me lol. However out of all videos i seen urs is the first i understand and doesnt feel unreachable. Thank you for using your skills to help strangers
I’m new to this but I moved to Nantahala NC and my kids love this and I have been playing around with this in the woods and this guy makes common sense look like it’s genius.thanks Bro for sharing your knowledge and making it understandable to the “common folk”.im a big fan.
I have been watching for about a year or so now and i like the way you made your shelter and i have seen a few other guys and a couple of lady's out in the woods for a bush crafting and such and i have to say it's really cool to and learn skills to learn and practice. And thanks for the video's you out for we to see. And keep cool my hat is off to you and ✌
I’m a bit peeved (at myself) I never thought of or was taught to break longer branches with a Y like you do. This would have saved sooo much time and countless energy sawing stuff I could easily break. I’m pretty strong for my size but if you look at me the wrong way I get a bruise. I’ve wasted so much energy sawing when I didn’t need to. Thanks from a granny who would rather live & die outdoors.
I really like your videos, not only for what I learn from them, but for that Zen precision and calm that seems to emanate from them. I am also a fan of the Swagman roll and it combines very well with the old kifaru woobie express (they don't do it anymore), but in a hammock one as an underblanket and another as an overblanket are wonderful. Another element that works very well and I recommend that you take a look is the Trifecta HT from 2gosystems, it works very well in addition to a poncho-hammock and that Swagman roll.
I like how you don't try to fill in the silence with talking. No gimmicks, just great instruction. Simple and to the point.
Likewise

amy fletcher In a way, since he said there was clay & mud, I'm a bit surprised he didn't opt to use it to fill in any gaps for his walls.
The fire would've hardened it into a brick like substance, giving him a partial "spit & waddle" house / wall like structure
bali song Who are you too judge her mental status? Do you have a degree in psychology? Most likely not. It’s a comfort factor. You lock your doors at night before bed, right? Same thing is applicable here.
This is exactly the style of video we need from you! Taking your practical application and applying it to your camp with reinforcement from your excellent how to videos. You will be at 350k in no time! Keep it up.
Hi Shawn. This remains one of the hallmark shelter lessons of all time.
12:12 is the best trick I have ever seen in my life for sawing.
I used this sawing method today. It’s a game changer. Thanks
Yes, and remember in this process, we need to use our 🥜 to... the alternative to a vestigial tail.
Just sayin’
Terrible way to do it. Just use the forked tree to place wood in there then saw. No reason to work hard. Work smart.
This makes me want to take up camping. Very entertaining, informative, and professional.
This one is a great video. Love the setup! The only missing thing would be a roof to protect the fire if it was raining/snowing, like you built in another video. The firepit was awesome. Thank you for the lessons. 😊
I love your videos... especially the ones stripped back to bare needs
Colin Dagwell nice beard
I love your sleeping system and if mine don't work out I will check that one out and see about getting it. Your camp setup is superb and one I would love to build when camping out. You have the right idea of using the trash bags to help build your bed up off the ground and the walls you built up as well. I have learned so much by watching you and David Canterbury's videos and hope to put that knowledge into action when camping out. I will be checking out the gear you recommend on your site and see which ones I don't have and get them to add to my backpack as long as it don't add too much weight. Food is about the only thing I really need in my pack since I already have the basics in it. Thanks for sharing all the information with us all and I love watching your videos and learn something new each time.
I like your Simple Contraption for carrying firewood (made from bank line & 2 sticks) I bought one made out of fabric but yours is way simpler and much lighter !!! I really enjoy your "no BS tutorials" and always seem to learn at least 1 little more trick to the trade. Keep up the GREAT videos
Your videos pop up first on my recommended videos list. I love everything outdoors and have just started getting into survival and minimalism. Its difficult as a type 1 diabetic, but I haven't let that slow me down. Thanks for the content. I've learned alot from your videos and I have not seen a bad one yet. Your awesome dude.
I really do enjoy this type of content. It's very useful, informative, and I've tested it as a beginner with ease. Thanks for what you do
This should be the first video anyone interested in getting started in bushcraft camping should see.. great info and covered a lot in a short while. Great job.
This channel definitely beats that 90 day fiancee crap on TV.
This setup is one of favorites you’ve done! Most have NO clue how much energy this takes! OUTSTANDING!🤘🏼🤓🤘🏼
Your logic, your clear explanation, your common sense. Outstanding AF! Thank you!
Another great video, nothing wrong with smoothing it. Doesn’t have to be all bow drills and grubs.
I really need to buy one of them rakes.
Thomas Malone ...I think harbour freight has those rakes.
I watched this video corporal. You have taught me things I never knew where I grew up at in the woods. I will continue to watch all that you do and follow everything you teach
You might survive the cold, but theres no way to escape the property taxes.
Truth
Disabled veterans in the State of Utah are exempt from property taxes.
Sure there is. In Illinois, if you are a 70% or more disabled veteran you pay no property taxes.
@@TheJimtanker I once met a guy who chopped his legs off to get free money and not have to pay taxes
California you have to be 100% disabled. Anyone surprised?
I feel like if I watch some more of these videos, I'll be "good to go".
lol everytime he says that im like "okay i'm good to go!... as soon as i just do allll that"
Aren't We all good to go..😁
Me too! But then I get out there and think," what the hell do I do now?" Thats what he means by practicing bushcraft. "Hone those skills until you own those skills."
I hate camping but love spending time in the outdoors, mostly due to every camping experience I had as a teen being extremely cold and wet. Corporals Corner is starting to make me believe I should revisit this with better gear.
When are we going?
Salute Marine, I have learned a lot from you and I learned something new again. I appreciate you and continue teaching us great survival skills.
Thank You, ✌🏾
There were a few "Ah yes" moments here and one of them was the firewood carrier you made out of paracord and two sticks. Very nice.
WonderMonkey Outdoors everyone keeps mentioning that but for the bundle he carried it would be easier to just carry with your arms... if it was spikey wood maybe better but taking the 3-5 minutes to make that isn’t that worth it to Cary the load one handed. I don’t know I have long arms so it would be no problem for me
@@heartagramskater21 You are probably right, but it's still something that is good to have in your head in case the need ever came up. Maybe to do a two-person carry for some reason?
Written on may 1 2021 of all the shelters you have made in the last two years I like this the best - elegant simplicity
Love your channel, i dont always comment but felt i had to on this one since its just so damn good, your videos can save lives if ppl soak up and remember your info
Another grand slam home run. Perfect emergency set up great content and presentation. Outstanding brother
Marine I’m not sure how religious you are, but I wanted to testify of your unexpected blessings to 3 little boys that lost their home , cars and everything in them in the Dec 10 tornados here in Bowling Green, Ky ,one 8 and two 9 yr olds, I had prayed to be able to help them some other way then monetarily and rides back and forth to FEMA/ assistance appointments .I work with their adoptive single mother named Angela, she asked if the boys Christmas gifts could be sent to our house as they are staying in a motel. They were , we opened the boxes to wrap them for her , these boys are apparently in to bush craft big time, and from my years of experience and picking up tips from you and other creators I have a lot of extra gear I’ve bought over he years., and it shall be theirs this Saturday , what you do is more of a community service than you or I ever knew, GOD bless you and thank you for your service beyond your enlistment
Great tutorial, now I know what to do with all those leaves in my yard
Great video! I really appreciate your knowledge and your ability and willingness to teach these skills. Thanks, Corporal, and God bless!
Dear Mr Kelly.
I live in Brazil and around here we have regions of both heat and intense cold (42 to 43ºC and -5 to -8ºC).
Of course, it's not like in the US where there are much lower temperatures, but I've had to camp without a tent at temperatures of -5°C, even getting sick because of my lack of preparation at that time and I know how much knowledge you're going through. now they are invaluable.
I would like to greatly thank you for your detachment in imposing such rigor to show us these techniques and say that, as much as I can, I try to promote your channel among my outdoor sports friends so that it reaches the greatest number of interested as possible.
May God grant you health and disposition and many blessings for these valuable lessons.
PS. Forgive the language problems or any misunderstandings, as I don't speak your language and I had to use the google translator to express myself but I felt I should make you see how far your teachings have come.
A big hug.
Sandro M. Domanski
As an finnish person im glad to see finnish brand pack with you
@Brian Landers my father has also couple sako's
Fantastic video, please more of this type! 👍👍
Thomas Gold Exactly!!
I enjoyed this video the first time I watched it, about one year ago, and really enjoyed watching it again. Thank you.
Nice video Corporal. Love the minimalist approach, as that's what's in my rucksack. Semper Fidelis keep up the good work brother
Sir, I am always impressed by how much effort and commitment you put into your many videos. I really have a lot of respect for that and really appreciate it. Thanks also for the inspiration and the immense amount of little tricks and hints.
Good luck, "Semper Fi" and best regards from Frankfurt / Main Germany
You're the best! Practical stuff to do to make it easier for yourself, but still safe and functional. Equipment advice is a nice touch, and no axe to grind...just good stuff.
one sweet set up there .. great info as always..
Hello Corporal, I am a 65 yr old Army veteran 1973-1976. I am getting a lil too old to get out in the woods, and fight the elements, and I really appreciate being able to do it through your videos. Thank you for not cursing, being vugar, and being family friendly. So much unnecessary trash out there :( It would be great if you got a troop and pass this amazing knowledge on to the kids, these kids need some guidance, and these techniques would inspire confidence, and an alternative to gangs and boredom.
You are NEVER too old. I am 62 (as of 2021) and two years ago I rode my bicycle from Houston to Stillwater, OK. 14days on the road and only four in modern shelter. Enjoy your life, only you know your limits.
Im gonna be honest new to this whole thing just started a shtf bag by suggestion of a friend whose attempting to teach me lol. However out of all videos i seen urs is the first i understand and doesnt feel unreachable. Thank you for using your skills to help strangers
This was really cool I've never seen ayone go into this much detail. Makes me wanna get out in the woods and do some camping!
Thank you, best overnight video I seen.
I’m new to this but I moved to Nantahala NC and my kids love this and I have been playing around with this in the woods and this guy makes common sense look like it’s genius.thanks Bro for sharing your knowledge and making it understandable to the “common folk”.im a big fan.
I appreciate this instructional. This is helpful information.
Yup he is truly roughing it!..I would definitely camp with this guy,he seems tough as nails and has Chef Boyardee..cant beat that.
This is by far my favorite shelter video yet. This basic kit camp is awesome. I cant wait to make this camp in the spring.
18:49 When you're out looking for bird's nest material and find a literal bird's nest, that's awesome haha
Con Fidential I think he probably ate the babies and stirred the leftovers into his chili Mac
I have been watching for about a year or so now and i like the way you made your shelter and i have seen a few other guys and a couple of lady's out in the woods for a bush crafting and such and i have to say it's really cool to and learn skills to learn and practice. And thanks for the video's you out for we to see. And keep cool my hat is off to you and ✌
I’m a bit peeved (at myself) I never thought of or was taught to break longer branches with a Y like you do. This would have saved sooo much time and countless energy sawing stuff I could easily break. I’m pretty strong for my size but if you look at me the wrong way I get a bruise. I’ve wasted so much energy sawing when I didn’t need to. Thanks from a granny who would rather live & die outdoors.
I really like your videos, not only for what I learn from them, but for that Zen precision and calm that seems to emanate from them. I am also a fan of the Swagman roll and it combines very well with the old kifaru woobie express (they don't do it anymore), but in a hammock one as an underblanket and another as an overblanket are wonderful.
Another element that works very well and I recommend that you take a look is the Trifecta HT from 2gosystems, it works very well in addition to a poncho-hammock and that Swagman roll.
Kifaru stuff is dreadfully expensive. Screw that rich people camping stuff.

Made in the USA. What are you a commie lover?
Awesome video, and great use of your tools at hand.
Wow, flipping through the past, your improvements are measurable . This was great stuff see then and go back rewatch
