Just further proof ...the Corporal IS the man. I do live in deep East Texas, it was a flat 100 degrees last night at 8pm when feeding my horses and no, ya never 'get used to it, just stay hydrated and push on. You still have what it takes if it comes down to it, don't kid yourself. Your knowledge and expertise is priceless, no matter the age. So, keep 'em coming cause everyday there is somebody new watching going "WOW, check this guy out." To most all of us out here we see, you are the real. Kudos... AF 🙂
Cpl. Kelly, Outstanding Video AF. First I want to say Thank You for your time in Service and keeping Us Safe. Also for all the Hard Work you do and sharing your time and knowledge and wisdom and experience and passing on the Craft. I am like you I have dug a few two man fighting position and one man fighting position, I'ma U.S. ArmyVet 79-86 . Great looking chow and meat fork, striker , frog gig . Thanks For Keeping It Real. Tim L.
Corporal is a hard working and consistent. He just keeps putting out great works. Got me a Corp Kelly iPhone case two years ago and still going strong.
In your previous solo overnighter, you spoke about loyalty. You talked about how if you kick a dog it will bite you. But if you pet a dog, feed it, water it, and play with it, one day it could eventually save your life. This video showed the that you will go to to entertain your followers. The information in here was tremendous. There is a specific reason your followers, including myself, are so loyal to you. You never shortchange us. Even when you are doing videos that cost us nothing to see, the effort and entertainment quality is beyond approach and superb. When you talked about your former Squad, it reminded me what I love most about those who serve. Time does not affect your feelings for these fellow soldiers. You will always be loyal to them and your willingness to share that with us was a great honor. Thank you once again
Thank you for going through incredible lengths to show us really high quality videos. It is not just the craftsmanship, but your philosophy that makes this a must watch channel for so many people.
You put a lot of grunt work to make these videos every week. I appreciate the videos and the work you put in. Hope everyone else appreciates it. Keep them coming!
I was a medic in the Air Force working mostly in the Emergency Room and we had a saying to assure our patients-- "Don't worry, it'll stop hurting when the pain goes away." Never seemed to work though.
Now that is doubling down on last week’s effort! I can relate to this as a retired 0302. You make us older Marines proud by upholding the traditions and not apologizing for what you do or why you do it. Once again you set the example for others to attempt to follow. Semper Fi!!
Thanks for showing it how it's done, Shawn! Good to see you still have the drive to test yourself--certainly a hard day's work. Loved the picture from back in the day, totally badass!
I believe the very first video I watched from you was your 2012 video in which you dig this same trench. I was impressed then and even more so now. You are a hard working man! Thanks for all the great videos.
Totally awesome! Probably take me a full day to do that and then some at 68 with back, shoulder, and knee service connected injuries, but certainly give a guy motivation to go that extra mile or two. Don’t comment much, but you are my “Sunday before church” fix!! Thank you!!
Cpl Kelly - Outstanding AF. Sometimes a man needs to do something strenuous just to push his limits and prove that his best days are never behind him. Onward and upward. Much respect and keep on being legendary. 💪
Even if I would or could say something bad for you or your videos these hours digging that hole made me speechless and totally amazed!!! Man, you live by example. What a better way to drive haters away. RESPECT FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK & YOUR SERVICE TO YOUR COUNTRY. I am so glad that now there is a universal shipping for your goodies🎉🎉🎉
Absolutely OUTSTANDING AF BROTHER!!! Where there is a will, there is a way. Perseverance and tenacity, doing what you have to do even when things get tough we become tougher.
It is a ton of work to do this. Even with a battle buddy when you are 20 years old. Nice work. Your videos are awesome. I appreciate how much work it is to make your channel! Keep it up!
Well before you take a dirt nap, I'd like to give you your flowers. My son and I truly appreciate all you do, we love watching your videos. You got us out in the woods plenty of times. Mad love and respect from the Foley family. We love you
Memories of Camp Geiger 1995..... Dug many of these in SOI and more than I can count over my career in the Corps.... As you said all over the world in every kind of soil imaginable. Thx for the video. Semper Fi.
Great video. First time I’ve heard about the grenade sump. Hearing about the reasons for it, I’d have probably tried to dig it as deep as possible, lol. Subscribed.
Good Morning Viet Nam! Brings back a few memories Corporal AF; Thx for all the sweat to bring the CC Tribe another fine Sunday video. Semper Fi! DevilDoc8404
Shawn outstanding video and way to still kick ass. Mad respect for digging that at 46. My last hole dug was 1991 in Desert Storm. Brought back some memories for sure. Keep up the outstanding AF videos🤘🤘💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸
I remember digging mine in the Saudi desert during Desert Storm. Try digging a fighting hole in sandy soil...no matter what you do, the sides crumble in. We were static, so every day I had to re-dig it to clear the sand which had crumbled in the day before. Semper Fi! CWO4 USMCR [Ret] 17 February 1969 - 1 August 2004
I cannot believe I am here watching you dig a trench feeling intense satisfaction at your project... The Army really changes how you appreciate things...
As always, a great presentation that brings back memories of 26 years in the Corps. Dug a regulation fighting hole last year when I was 65. Took me longer than back in the day - a LOT longer - but I got it done. Semper Fi, Marine!
I for one appreciated this video! Been a long time since I have done this! Last time for me was in 2002 field training. Whew, in my mid 20’s it was a job so my 🪖is off to you good sir. Thank you for what you do.
Death, taxes and the Corporal dropping a Sunday morning video. Doing it while sporting a DD t shirt, none the less. Best content on RUclips by far. Keep up the great work, we all appreciate it!
Awesome tutorial, Corporal!!! Takes me back, way back! Mid 90’s Marine, digging fighting holes, been there! STEAK Great review on the grill, gonna have to check it out. Now you got me wondering if I still got it. Gonna have to go see. Semper Fi, Marine
I have to say that I really appreciate the work you put in for your videos. I'm always eager to see what you will do next, and I'm never disappointed. Thank you for what you do to educate and entertain us.
I've been watching your videos for a long time. I always learn something new and then that knowledge is reinforced in further videos. One thing I do not recall seeing is how to deal with biting insects. Most of the time your overnights are in the open without mosquito nets. Here in Minnesota, in the summer, our hemoglobin would be depleted by morning.
Typing in all caps indicates YELLING and SCREAMING, certainly not your intent. Also, all upper-case letters is more difficult reading than all lower case. FYI, in most forums all upper-case type is highly frowned upon and many folks will not read those posts. Hope this helps you.
Most people won't appreciate how much work it is for one person to dig a two-man fighting hole. Granted that, in a real combat zone, both persons don't dig at the same time, but it is much easier to dig it when you can switch out between digging and providing overwatch. Thank you for the outstanding video. It brought back some (maybe not so) happy memories. Semper Fi! EDIT: Also, I wanted to let you know that I love the items in your Etsy store. If you keep making it, I'll eventually keep buying it - haha!
On night in my fighting hole I felt something on my neck. I slapped it away and put my "moonbeam" on it... scorpion, looked behind me... all its babies 😳 worst night ever!
Hey Corporal, try dry rubbing your steaks ahead of time. Just season both sides at home 8 hours before you leave and then put them in a zip bag until you grill them.
Definitely love this build. Add the Poncho and you Sutton’ pretty. Cool asf! Thank you for the years of enjoying and teachings. I have definitely used techniques I have seen on your videos through the years. This channel has grown so much from just a couple years ago. Outstanding! Keep it up!
OK... now have to eat brunch after your videos. I laughed so hard when you were squeezing yer sweat out of yer shirt and joking about it that my OJ shot out of my nose. Love what you're doing and I'm learning alot. Be safe and God bless ya.
I don't believe I could have done that, when I was 46. Possibly, but it would have been a multi-day project, with full sized tools. You sir, are still leading the pack!
Outstanding AF! It's funny that's how I found you! Many moons ago you did a how to build a fighting hole video that I used as an instruction video from my airsoft group at the time. And now here we are again. Love to see it! Edit: also I love the love reference!

You keep destroying these activities. Keep up the great work!
Yeah not a big fan of mounding up your spoil all around your pit. Tends to give your position away if not very well cammed up.
But you did well using the US style ET to dig that 👍👍
You're a year older. I'm nowhere near on par with you. Body is wrecked now. But man you got this.
Awesome job corp. lot of work, I don’t know how well this work in western jersey where I live, 6-8 Inch down all solid shale
It isn't Sunday without Corporals corner
Every single Sunday.
Idk.. It's sunday where I'm at.. Even without cc.
I agree
Monday morning for me.
AGREED!!!!🫡🫡🫡🫡
Human excavator! Hardest working guy on RUclips! Much respect!
Corporals military fighting hole & ribeyes for the sweaty win!

I’m 46 also Corporal, matter of fact next week (God willing) I’ll be 47! Here’s to making the limited days in front of us count! 🍻 👍🏾
Hard work this week! Outstanding! Thanks for your efforts to teach and inspire.
Corporal is a hard working and consistent. He just keeps putting out great works. Got me a Corp Kelly iPhone case two years ago and still going strong.
Oh to be 46 again!!!💪🏼 😁

"Been there, done that." Love a good dog and pony show for the brass. Make sure that mud looks polished and shined.
Yeah brother, even though we Engineers had backhoe’s we still had to dig! Your a highly motivated individual 1980-86
I've often said engineer AIT was at Leonard Wood to get us used to digging up rocks. 😂
Essayons!
Memories 🇺🇸
Awesome AF, but dude, I am 62. It hurt just watching you dig that hole! Good stuff as always.
Ahh, the corporal shovel throw, you always know what's coming next. Great job. That's one hellava hole. Top shelf video. Thanks Corporal.
Corporal is the hardest working man on RUclips, deserves a thumbs up just for that and another for the content!
Now that is doubling down on last week’s effort! I can relate to this as a retired 0302. You make us older Marines proud by upholding the traditions and not apologizing for what you do or why you do it. Once again you set the example for others to attempt to follow. Semper Fi!!
Thank you for this video.
The right tarp would make that shelter good for an extended stay in foul weather.
Thanks for showing it how it's done, Shawn! Good to see you still have the drive to test yourself--certainly a hard day's work. Loved the picture from back in the day, totally badass!
Another outstanding video. Thank you for the hard work you put in to entertain us sir!
It's not Sunday morning til Cpl. drops an overnighter!
This👍🏻
Awesome show as always. Thanks
Sunday Funday at Corporals Corner..My God Shawn, we the same age and you do things that shock me. Keep trucking!!

You did some grunt work on this week's video. Above and beyond as usual.
Thanks if Only YT felt this way
Accept they hate you and everything you stand for,notice how they continally work against you?
Memories of Camp Geiger 1995..... Dug many of these in SOI and more than I can count over my career in the Corps.... As you said all over the world in every kind of soil imaginable. Thx for the video. Semper Fi.

I remember doing those and they sucked!!!!! Thanks for all you do for your followers !!!
Outstanding as Always. Appreciate what you do each and every week. 👍
Second best part of Sunday, right after church!
Good Morning Viet Nam! Brings back a few memories Corporal AF; Thx for all the sweat to bring the CC Tribe another fine Sunday video. Semper Fi! DevilDoc8404
100% Corporals sweat = 100% authentic. Thanks for doing the work to show us the way.
Shawn outstanding video and way to still kick ass. Mad respect for digging that at 46. My last hole dug was 1991 in Desert Storm. Brought back some memories for sure. Keep up the outstanding AF videos🤘🤘💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸
Haven't watched you in a while, but when I saw how young you are, I had to come back. Nice job, kid! Keep up the good work.

Thanks again, always enjoy the trip down memory lane. Take care and keep up the great work. .
I am always impressed by the effort and passion you have in making your videos!

46 years young! I salute you, Corporal! 🫡
Great video - way to keep pushing. I bet you'll do it again at 55.
Always love the cooking portion on the videos.
Awesome tutorial, Corporal!!!
Takes me back, way back! Mid 90’s Marine, digging fighting holes, been there!
STEAK
Great review on the grill, gonna have to check it out.
Now you got me wondering if I still got it. Gonna have to go see.
Semper Fi, Marine
Thanks!
Holly shit , that brings back memories!! Nice job on video!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍
I have to say that I really appreciate the work you put in for your videos. I'm always eager to see what you will do next, and I'm never disappointed. Thank you for what you do to educate and entertain us.
I just enjoyed watching you dig a hole. You must be doing something right.
Awesome looking meat fork. Think I’ll pass on this shelter though since I recently turned 55 and not ready for that particular view.
“That particular view” 😂😂😂. Hope you have several decades before that’s a problem.
another great video that brought back all the 90's memories.
That's amazing, my wife just yesterday made a garden just like yours. lol
My body was screaming just watching that. I commend you on being able to still do it!
You are great,and I get a lot of inspiration from your videos__👍👍🙏❤️
I've got no military background but I really enjoy these military meets bushcraft vids. It's different than the traditional bushcraft vids on youtube
I've been watching your videos for a long time. I always learn something new and then that knowledge is reinforced in further videos.

DUDE! Major props, at 46 this is badass.
meant 246
Glorious ribeyes, Corporal!
Bad Ass AF. Been a while since I watched you. Thanks, for your service and thanks for the honesty! Be safe and live well!
SHWN THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME FOR ME DID TIME BACK IN 1980 TO 2000 ,,,,NOW IM IN MY 60S THAT WAS THE GOOD O DAYS,,,,,,
Typing in all caps indicates YELLING and SCREAMING, certainly not your intent. Also, all upper-case letters is more difficult reading than all lower case. FYI, in most forums all upper-case type is highly frowned upon and many folks will not read those posts. Hope this helps you.
Mad respect. Keep the momentum going. You’re killing it bro
You sure do work hard to make these videos. Much appreciated 💛
The builds are always cool. But more often as not, I'm envious on the chow 😊
Great content! Thats some good livin right there!!!
I learn something new every Sunday from corporal's corner
This is what work looks like.Never mess with a dude who can dig a trench like that.The bits of philosophy come in handy too.Sheer class as always.
Laying in a fighting hole always reminded me of my mortality. Semper Fi!!
Now this video is Awesome A.F 👍 thank you so much bless you.

I'm getting buried in the morning 😅 hi corp keep er lit!😎from IRELAND 🇮🇪
Tough build out in this heat, appreciate the Hard work for us! SALUTE!
Anyone else see the size of that spider at 14:52 to the right of Cpl on the dirt burm!!!! Huge spider
On night in my fighting hole I felt something on my neck. I slapped it away and put my "moonbeam" on it... scorpion, looked behind me... all its babies 😳 worst night ever!
Hardest working man on RUclips. Never seen anyone else wring sweat out of their tshirt like that on any other channel. Outstanding!
Damn…That is a hell of a hole for a 46 year old. I am 58 and get winded digging a hole to plant a rose bush.
"Outstanding" you still got it young fella
You damn sure earned them ribeyes!
Ahh the rain forest of the U.S. I love these old mountains.

Wow. All that digging brought back memories when I went through ICT at Parris Island, grenade sump and all
Corporal, fan fn tastic !!!!!!! 👍👍🥩🥩🥓🥓🥓🍻
Great video!! You deserved the steaks after all the hard work digging!
"Gotta make every day worth it" I like that.
That’s a lot of work for an overnighter. 😂 Outstanding!!
Hell of a workout! Keep on Rocking.
Outstanding af 👊 💪
