Corporals Corner hmm I thought had been but I fireball in fail to hit notify bell. Thank you so much😃
Went to the Amazon link. Says theres none in stock and no idea if they will return? @corpalscorner
@@kennethorourke4725 It says "In stock on April 16, 2019." near the add to cart button
Bought it and says shipping April 22nd.
I bought one of these on your recommendation, and I love it. Thank you for another great post.
I usually avoid gear reviews, but i have trust in your style of straight to the point, no gimmicks, "this piece of gear has multiple purposes and deserves it's place in a pack" style of review.... When you say it is good to go, it must be worth it's weight. Thank you.
Corporal is a no BS instructor and I've learned more from him in a year than from anyone else all my life!
he poured water over himself like that was gonna simulate what, walking for an hour in heavy rain..?
I bought the Helikon Tex Swagman Roll off Amazon for $144.Watching this video convinced me that I should buy one.Thanks for the video
I don't think I've heard this much excitement in corporal's voice, ever..
I need to stop watching these reviews, it's quickly growing the list of stuff I need...lol
Yep same😂
DHFHades Yeah I keep buying stuff too hahaha
I'm so poor now 😭
Yeah but think about all the mediocre or low budget gear you would of bought had you not watched these videos and learned about this tried and tested high quality gear
@@christianb8228 that is a damn good point
These both really look like great pieces of gear. Really appreciate the closeups of the items as you go through the steps of review. I don't know of anyone else who does that, and it makes things so much easier to understand... Well done as usual.
Probably one of the most functional poncho I have ever seen sure beat the hell out of my issue in the marine corps thanks bro
I just want to thank you for showing me bankline, so much ideas popped into my head since I saw you using it for everything. Thanks again for giving me the motivation to get out there and try things in the woods, seeing how easy you make it with minimal survival gear gives me the strength to test my limits
I just ordered both of these based on your recommendation. Thank you for recommending good gear and also providing excellent how-to videos.
As usual, your attention to detail and ability to communicate clearly is outstanding.
Mine just arrived. It is SWEET!!! Got the poncho coming too. Thanks for tuning me into this. Going to be part of my archery elk hunting loadout. Oohrah!
I ordered one of these from the pathfinder school for Christmas. I was thinking it was going to get here maybe a week after Christmas or so. They surprised me completely and got it out to me by Christmas Eve! Super fast shipping at no extra cost. Super awesome of you guys. Much love! Big fan of everyone at the pathfinder school, you guys do great work.
Maybe the most valuable piece of kit I've purchased. Excellent recommendation. Took forever to get shipped but damn worth every second I waited. Mandatory kit for serious users. This is the way!!!! Thanks for all your research 👍
Best YT bushcraft channel by far. I’ve learned how to use a map and compass better than so many books. I’ve seen so many shelter builds and knots. I have to practice the knots but holy hell have I gone from goober to champ in just a few hours.
I've recently bought both of these per your recommendations...Love them! I can't believe how light they are... I'll be putting them to use in the field very soon! Thanks again for your simple AF videos and knowledge!! I'm 52 and have been hunting , camping , and hiking since I was 14! Why I'm just now learning this valuable info is beyond me!! With that said, I refuse to get old and looking forward to retirement in 7 yrs!!
Very good. Since seeing this presentation several months ago, I purchased one of these. Very impressive. Light, warm, roomy and compact compared to a full size sleeping bag or wool blanket. Now a part of my day hike/emergency survival/ inconvenient camping gear.Thank you very much
Appreciate all of your videos. I seek wisdom on outdoor endeavors and you provide great advice and wisdom. I learn every time I watch.
OMG! I wish these were around when I was younger. Better nights & easier mornings. Keep the videos coming Corporal.
Once I saw that video about a year ago I bought Swagman Roll straight away and it was the best buy after a great advertising! Thank you. 100% tested and recommended item! Multifunctionality is worth the price!
These are available right now for those interested. Just ordered mine! Honestly, when I first saw this video, I was sold on it. I just couldn't get it at the time because it was sold out. They now have more color/camo options. Thanks Corporal!
I've watched this a few times and you constantly mention the swagman... I'm sold. It's going to be my next big purchase and I'll go through your influencer page when I do. Great job, Corporal... as usual.
I bought both the swagman and poncho, they are outstanding just like you said. Thanks again for helping me pick the best gear.
You can tell when someone is pushing a product because they're getting paid and when someone genuinely likes the product. You are the later of the 2 and it's refreshing to see someone give an honest review on a great product.
ya, I wasn't paid. Thanks for watching
CPL,
You sold me on the SWAGMAN. Also you are an artist with your tarp/poncho configurations. I’ve been a longtime lurker on your channel, but subbed today finally because of your attention to detail and military style of instruction (my favorite part. Very nostalgic). Thank you for your great videos of sharing your adventures, tutorials, product reviews, and wisdom.
BTW, I will be buying the SWAGMAN from your amazon page too 👍🏾
Thank you for reviewing and sharing this with us, have been curious about this item for a while now and was waiting for such a review.
Thanks for all the great videos you have been putting out, This video has been the most informative on the Swagman Roll that I've seen. I just purchased it and Helikon US Poncho as well.
I now have the Swagman Roll and I love it!! Used it for a week in the Sierra mountains.
I know this is an old video, but I thinking of trying to integrate an all in one system for 3, I know it's gonna be hard thats one reason why I'm going to try, and alot of the things I see you do really inspire me, thank you sir
I don’t often go for kit reviews, but after your last lesson using the Swagman Roll, I kept an eye out for this one. Great review! I’ll be adding this to my personal kit soon. Thanks.
Just when we think we have seen everthing we can't live without, the Jarhead comes up with another great-can't live without it item. Well demonstrated, ordering mine a few moments.Bless the Corona virus-I can spend hours on the computer watching You Tube, especially the Corporal, Dave Canteburyand The Grey One. This old Warrior is still learning thanks to you gents.
Love it corporal. This one is a gem. I cannot thank you enough for reviewing this poncho. Go gear approved.
I absolutely love my Helikon Swagman! They rock! They are very useful in many different roles. Helikon Urban line are my favorite pants also. Plus they make the most comfortable hats, they are my favorite hats, and I have worn so many different brands, I can't even start to name them all. Thanks for the video.
Recommended and another vid with outstanding content. Thanks!!
Great follow up to your last video. This is what we need. More functional, no nonsense gear reviews. Thanks
Damn it, I was trying not to buy anymore camping gear. But as usual, Cpl has convinced me again. Thanks for the vids, brother! Semper Fi!
Yeah the previous video got me too. Ordered the liner thru the link a couple days ago after heming and hawing for a few days.
heavily impressed every time I watch your vids! sold!
Love the upgrades :-) I only just very recently bought the basic set-up as a cheap sleep system and along with your help/guidance/advice and all your wonderful shared knowledge I hope to be in the great out doors very soon :-) Sending Best Wishes all the way from Scotland*Thank you Corporal Corner*
A swagman was more of a hobo that walked the outback looking for work on sheep stations and farms. They carried a "Swag" sometimes known as a "Matilda" with all of their earthly possessions rolled up inside. A bit like a Confederate Soldier's Bedroll. The USMC's 1st Marine Division adopted the song "Waltzing Matilda" from its time spent in Australia during WW2. "Waltzing a Matilda" is basically slang for a swagman walking from property to property looking for itinerant work.
This was it about 4 years ago this video but i hadn't seen it and man this is awesome! I've seen you use these 100 times at least but I hadn't seen this video yet and man, I got to get one now.
corporal i am from the city. and i have bushcraft experience at all. i have learned a lot from your videos. i have recently retired and i am trying to learn something new. thank you. an old head back in the day that was a retired corporal told me(if tou dont know find the nearest corporal he will have all of your answers) you show that in every video. keep doing what you are doing.
Helikon has def got game! I have some of their products and all top notch quality . Thanks for the Sunday funday video
Sorry, I can't say the same about their BDU pants.
Good old American issued lasted me for 3-5 years.
Helikon - I feel lucky when they last for one year :(
+ all the buttons fall off after several months. So you better carry a needle and thread with ya all times.
I wish I could say something better about my fellows from Poland... byt I just can't :(
Whatever I buy from Helikon or Mil-tec it turns out to be a piece of crap.
Excellent review, as always! These are definitely going on my "wish list." Thanks, Corporal -- and God bless you and yours!
That looks like a great piece of kit to have. I will put it on my Christmas list for sure! Thanks for sharing!
I like how you are not making the squeak sound that all rain coats have. Being quiet when hunting is the best.
Really really like your shows makes me humble peace and blessing to you
I was impressed when you had this in your prior video. Now, I like it even more. Thank you!
Great stuff, just started watching around a month ago... I've been off work for an injury, and found your channel. I must say I'm enjoying it and love learning from it.....
Corporal, yet another outstanding video! BZ!
I’ve already got my Father’s Day gift 🎁 picked out thanks to you.
Mucho domo 🙏
I like that in the first 5 seconds you demonstrate the most important feature. Nice work on this video, was unsure about this item, going to get it now!
Thank you, I've been looking for a really good poncho system for a long time!
Everything they make is always squared away. It’s always made so well and with great care and the features always work great.
Good review. Multi-function and very lightweight. Beyond bushcraft, I think these would be great for thru-hikers, etc. And imagine these being distributed by Red Cross during disasters instead of simple blankets along with a Corporal's Ridgeline system.
FYI ... I reached out to Helikon to see about a Swagman in multicam black on a side / hi-vis orange on the other. Combo urban grey-man / search & rescue. Coupled with a woodland camo pattern poncho, you'd have 3 of 5 major scenarios / environments covered (not desert or snow). No plans at present but they passed it on to R&D for consideration.
Now that is a nice bit of civi kit at last a good quality poncho and liner....I'm sold on it too 👍
Im from Poland, 80% of my stuff is from helikon but that poncho dont get that much of my attention .. till now. Thanks for review. Now I need to get one!
Dobra robota Helikon!
Outstanding as always
This is exactly what I remember ( just cannot find my old GI version Woobie and Poncho =( Looks like a great replacement that is updated =) Love the chest pouch for maps and papers ... great idea and can make a light weight sleep Summer bag =) They are a bit pricey but worth the difference over the commercial stuff out there to replace the older GI one and the real Woobies are expensive and well worn 8-) Thanks for sharing =)
I was researching the poncho to replace my heavy current option thought I was halving the weight then I seen how good the swagman roll attachment is. Now I need to adjust a few things to compensate the extra weight. Thanks great review
I received my Helikon Swagman Roll and Poncho in four days..amazing! It was shipped from Manchester, England. The camo I received is called Camogrom, a more subdued woodland with a desert flavor if you will :) The quality of both kits is excellent. Both arrived in well made stuff sacks, the poncho in a Camogrom and the roll in an OD green one. To me the $153 is money more than well spent. I packed them in a Savotta Jaakari S or MiniJaakari pack from Finland (a superb 20L pack) with plenty of room for the rest of my gear (plus food and water) allowing me at least two days out. The other item I purchased was a 500ml Grayl water purifier you and Josh both reviewed. This, too, was money well spent ($55 for the 500ml and $85 for the 550ml version. Both items, the Swagman Roll and poncho, were neatly folded in their respective stuff sacks. When I removed the Swagman Roll it "ballooned" into a huge size and I worried that it would not go back into the stuff sack easily. I zipped it up into its sleeping bag configuration and shoved it back into the sack with ease. Thank you, sir, for the video and recommendation. Man, I think my bushcraft kit is complete!
I was just watching one of your old videos, not that old, December, about your EDC and I just wanted to say that when I go to the dentist he always gives me one of those little dispensers of floss and I always toss those in my EDC. Yhey take up no room, add no weight, and they're perfect for whipping rope ends, sewing, trip lines, all different other uses where a very small strong line would be necessary or helpful. You present great stuff.
Dril small holes in the bottom of those and pack with cottonwool, run a tube from the top and you have a waterfilter too.
Im more of a flecktarn kinda guy but that swagman is definetly going to become a new addition to my hiking bag. I needed a liner too
Just received my swagman this morning courtesy of amazon, looks amazing can’t wait to try it as a part of my cover element! The swagman will replace my poncho liner.
Really grateful for this review. Thanks.
Thanks Corporal, your review sold one to me. I love it so far (unboxed both roll and poncho) and next is test when the weather loses the snow. haha ! THANKS !
Just ordered my Swagman and cordage, I'm looking forward to having it in my kit! There was no way to comment during the purchasing process that the Corporal sent me, but I hope you do get a percentage of sales
Absolutely love that poncho
I just bought one. Super excited to get it
thanks for the video! I was on the fence about it but now im going to invest in one.
8:05 That’s a nice survival smoking jacket you got there lol I like my Helikon gear, awesome multi-purpose gear that’s well made and well priced as well. Thanks for all the great videos and the great class last weekend!
Out Standing, you convinced me. Getting my order ready. Have a great rest of your weekend.
Thank you for your service
That is a nice poncho and I would love to have it to wear on a camping trip or keep it stored in my backpack for when needed. The poncho liner is great also and would be great to have with the poncho and I may end up getting this system to add to my backpack in the future. Right now I am satisfied with the rain gear I already have and I hope you have a great new week.
Thanks friend, great video on this universal poncho/ bed, love it.. will definitely be getting one for my bug out pack!! Again appreciate your great advice and suggestions
Loved the review; yours are always the best! Looks like Amazon needs to restock ASAP.
Man,

Great quality video.
Totally awesome set up corporal! That's definitely on my wishlist, lightweight and very durable!!! Has me sold brother! Thanks for another awesome video and a great review of an outstanding AF product!!!

Awesome gear to add on to my kit. Great content, as always. Thanks!
Damn, I want one of these Swagman Rolls. Looks like it's really high quality with tremendous versatility.
Looks like a fine and essential item to use.
That medevil instrumental towards the end always vibes well.

Finally got mine over the weekend!! Been waiting so long for them to become available!
Swagman, used round the campfire in freezing temps, also as a insulated lid for on top of the hammock whilst in my artic bag and underquilt under the tarp, was toastie... It's outstanding
Thanks Corporal, I needed another poncho liner like another hole in the head, but, I ordered one anyway. Great review, and another great video.
Thank you for this review brother I’m sold!!
Bought one yesterday, can't wait to get my hands on it :D
It’s on my list for sure.
Corp , smile once in a while. Excellent content.
Great videos. I like the reviews of gear and equipment.
Drooling over this.

Hey,Sarge! Good to see you testing some Polish equipment.I've been using Helicon's gear for years and I can tell you it endured a lot plus,It has great price-to-quality ratio.
Cheers from the EU!
Awesome, well that answered my question and searching for the right poncho. I one i originally bought wasn't water proof and i had to buy a sealant. Great set up and will be headed next to Amazon
Great review, just picked up one of these. Will be nice to go with my helikon poncho, thanks for showing the combination of the two.
