Love the kit layouts I got mine done from the last 1 you done way back and left it at that admitted its a bit heavier as I added some additional in case of long term but can take out if need short term.
Shawn, im an old man (63) and Ive never been into bush craft. I ran across your videos about 7 months ago. I had started looking into survival topics so i could work with my 10 year old grandson. I was a boy scout 50 years ago and my family camped (in a popup camper) when i was a kid but thats about all my outdoor skill. I believe we all should have the skills you teach and i thought what better way to learn than with my grandson. This video is exactly what i had been wanting to see. We are building our "kits" and needed some guidance... this was perfect. I don't believe that throwing money at gear is the way to go. I do however believe you need to buy the best gear you can afford keeping in mind your intended use. Im not sure i need a $160 hatchet for a few outings a year but i want and need one thats not junk. There would be nothing worse than needing your hear in an emergency and it failing the first time its used. Ive watched you and a few other guys but i really appreciate your no BS approch and the way you put the hay down where the sheep can eat. I appreciate you more than you know and look forward to learning more from you. One more thing... I've heard you talking about the guy that used your picture for there videos. I want to give you some advice. Don't waste video time addressing these people. You are helping them by calling the attention of your viewers to their video. The best revenge is living well. The wolf doesn't care about the opinions of the sheep. Do what you do and ignore people that have nothing to do but stir up crap. Be above it.
Thank you , I always appreciate when you do these videos . Most people tell you what to carry , but they don't explain why. You on the other hand , you tell us what YOU carry and why YOU carry it....... and you give us options . I have never heard you tell us that if we go into the woods , we HAVE to have a certain high dollar brand.......... you give us options and ideas . For example , my favorite outdoor / " bushcraft " knife is actually a 100 year old butcher knife with a 7 " blade and full tang , I have carried it for over 35 years and it has never failed me ( its not the only knife I take , but it is my favorite. )
I like that he makes flint steels and sells them, but is 💯 honest and tells people why not to trust their lives with one… He could obviously forge his own knives and sell them but he points you towards a very budget friendly knife that just plain works. Countless videos he has found low cost alternatives and shares them. To me it’s clear AF he isn’t all about the money. Pretty clear to me he wants to help people learn.. Personally, if he says in item is good to go that’s all I need to hear..
I recently tried to use my ferro rod to strike up a fire to make ash for my compost and gave up after like a half hour lol. Idk if my striker is just sh*tty or what. I ever scraped some of the ferrosium onto the kindling and I still couldn't get it to light. I decided to just flick the bic at it. I definitely need to practice more.
@@bringer-of-changedon't give up if it was easy everyone could and would do it. Make sure your nest / kindling is good to go, dry etc. Make sure you are close but not to close, direct the sparks at the center of your nest. Start off easier, grab some cotton balls and roll them in Vaseline, put that in the center of your nest and direct sparks at it. It should light easily. It's hard to start a fire without some sort of actual tinder using a Ferro rod
Sunday Funday at Corporals, appreciate the work you do and the swamp shed. It's going to be nice once you get the shed insulated!! Keep up the great work 👍
Im a sub. And have been following you for the last 8 years , maybe longer, I DO GET NOTIFIED when you drop a vid. Everytime. Also I look for vids. That I haven't seen. Outstanding AF
Every video you make is worth my time to watch. I have learned so very much. I love the mid week videos ❤️ thank you for sharing your knowledge with us we all appreciate your efforts. Blessings for you and yours 🙏🙏🙏
Go with a Mr Buddy Heater and a 20 pound propane tank over a wood stove for your cabin. You will not regret it. A small wood stove leaves you burning up before bed and freezing several hours later. The wood stove takes up more usable space. The propane heater while not as nostalgic will keep you warm. The propane is not to expensive as it is not like your living in it. Insulation would also help keep the amount of propane needed lower.
Hey Shawn, great video. I loved the detailed breakdown of the things you would carry, do carry, and why? No strings attached, just straight up. Carry on Marine. Cheers
Love your videos, I am 66 years old and have been camping all of my life and darn if I still don't learn a trick or two from your show. I don't get out much anymore did a overnight conoe trip down the bear River last year, was sore for 3 days after but I had a blast. Anyway just wanted to let you know how appreciative I am of your show.
I had to go to the Corporals Corner channel to find today's episode. After I found the new episode and started playing it, RUclips decides to notify me that a new episode is out. I know there is a new short every Wednesday/Thursday and a new episode every Sunday (Which I watch and like everytime) Thanks for another interesting video.
I sank a Kayak in a water fall during winter in freezing temps. The water pinned my boat underwater and my dry bags filled up with water. I had 3 different types of fire starter and all of them failed. Luckily I was with a group and we had plenty of gear. My son had my sleeping bag on his kayak so that stayed dry. If I had been by myself I would have been in serious trouble because we were miles away from any road and 7 hours paddle from town. For future trips, I put a BIC lighter in a ziploc bag and put that in a water tight floating container.
I've said this before. I've been following you almost since you started out. You are one of my absolute favorites. Love your videos, and your practical, no fluff attitude. Your philosophy of KISS is always inspiring. Always pulling for your success. Keep on, keeping on man.
Back in the 80’s when I was in scouts the camp we went to had a barn full of surplus. We were given web belt, butt pack, y harness, etc. etc. sure wish I had held on to it all. Hindsight 20/20
Reminds me of the first "kit" videos from the good old days when you had that piece of tee-shirt on your head. Straight to the point, no marketing crap. like it.
Fire starting material from your homes drying machine colect the lint from the filter and use a sealing plastic bag big enough to take a bic liter then fill the bag with lint if you think it's going to be wet add some melted wax and som matches with a striker strip from a box or a book of matches .I've used this for years it works even in sub zero
Military poncho in the desert monsoon season. Hands and feet soaked where they were outside the poncho. The rest of me, dry and warm with just the poncho. I managed to keep it when we were done. Love it.
I agree. Paracord is old school. I use bankline as well. Your uses are outstanding AF. I learned how to make a recurve bow, using the bankline as my draw string, keep a chunck of bees wax in my pack to wax up the bow string, helps to soften. The bankline is perfect for making traps and snares. Ive even used it to tie down tarps over trailers and driving the highway with a load, worked great. In most situations, can use bank line for any kind of lashing or tieing. Its some tough s$%t . I have a roll in my backpack and camping gear and also my shop for other uses besides bushcrafting. I get rolls at Walmart fishing section, cheap.
For those not used to a Suunto or Silva compass like the one shown, the purpose of the mirror is for 'shooting a bearing' to walk on...what yanks would call an 'azimuth'. The mirror can be used for emergency signaling, but, that is not its original, intended purpose.
SO, SO GOOD, CORPORAL! Loved the video, and all the info! A nice treat to have extra time as well! You are such a blessing and very much appreciated. Have the best Sunday, and be sure to have a delicious steak today to keep up your strength, lol! 🏕🪵🤗
Brother, I watch your videos every week, for several years now, and they are undoubtedly still among the best in the field. They are informative, fun to watch, and motivational. I have used many of the things I learned from your RUclips channel during some outings with my children. I even use many of the knots you taught for everyday tasks. Thank you for your efforts, and I send you warm regards.
Totally agree about flint and steel ignition. If you're doing the reenactment thing or you wanna show off to your buddies it's great. Outside of that it's obsolete.
Still love your no mucking about no frills common sense practical gear, way of thinking, proof of use, and last but not least aproachable respectful delivery. Dont change a thing.
I was in elementary school when I made my first BOB and at the time, I had no idea what I really needed, so I shoved a bunch of things in a sleeping bag. Over the years and the invention of RUclips, I've learned much from people like you who take the time to educate the rest of us. My son's girlfriend has never seen an outdoors type person, but wants to be, so I'm sharing my little knowledge with her. One of the things I'm going to help her make is her own BOB. Thanks for your suggestions and thanks for your service.
Awesome AF VIDEO very educational nobody teaches like the Corporal cause he's the man thanks for always taking the time to teach in every video love ya Corporal
Axes are a must have if you are going into any type of forest. Unfortunately there is none in the peaks national park in the UK and most forests are on private land or owned by the forestry commission. I used to get all my practice in a private forest owned by a veteran who ran courses. Just wish I could still do what I used to do 30 years ago.
I've been using a surplus M1941 pot belly tent stove made in 1952 to cook and heat a small uninsulated place like that in near -40 below temps for about 7 years now, and on a daily basis. It has passed the test of time and real world use. At the time, complete with stove pipe, it ran $100 delivered. It is still going strong. It is light wieght, about 90 pounds including 11 feet of pipe, a fire grate suitable for burning coal and wood, and allimpliments needed. It is well designed for daily living and cooking. The 9 inch hole for a fry pan is ideal. It is an immensly practical. It is about 16 inches in diameter, and 18 inches tall. There is plenty of surface area to cook on. 6 inch stove pipe is preferable to 4 inch. I would choose this stove over modern and expensive one for that application. It breaks into parts that can be packed in.
Still catching up on all your vids after ABCamping recommended you. I appreciate how hard you work. It’s awesome how fit you are too. From early vids to now you’ve lost a lot of weight. Amazing AF!! Thanks.
Shaw , Great Information and You and I have a lot of same training from Boy Scouts from 1973-1979 and U.S.Army from 1979-1986 .I'm also believe If It Ain't Broke Don't Fix It . I have a lot of the same gear. I Greatly Appreciate Your Hard Work and Sharing Your Time and Knowledge and Wisdom and Experience and Passing on the Craft, and Thank You For Your Time In Service and Keeping Us Safe. Tim L.
Always enjoy you all your videos .I'm 65 still working construction ..I'd really like to do one or some of your classes ,but maybe to old for ya..don't stop doin what your doin...fight on
Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, thank you for sharing this vital information. You always do a great job. You covered all the essentials. You're prepared for almost any emergency. All the best to you. Stay safe out there. Keep up your great videos. 🤗 🖐
Hit right on many levels. I am threequarters of a century now and silly but there's many things that ring to my old Monttana scouting days. Questions: 1- do you ever get North ergo Michigan, Minnesota or the like? 2- I am an archery coach for kids and first time bow hunters for the mid-west and west, have you ever thought about a hunters kit? 3 - Outstanding work, well done and keep it up.
I don’t know why utube keeps taking your videos away from my favorites but every now and again I have to look you up and watch two or three videos and then they’ll put you back in my feed!
Iv had emergency situations happen twice going on long adventures and learning what to bring I'm glad I had foresight to bring the same ideas ypu have.
Sorry Corp first Sunday vid I've missed since subbing to your channel had data problems then work problems but imgonna watch it twice right now keep it up you're an inspiration!
I’d love to see you make a wood stove out of an old 20mm ammo can. I’m making one for my hut at the moment and would be interested in how you would do it.
Survivor man. He took 12 hours to get a fire going with the bow drill method. I personally worked on the bow drill method for longer than that. Conditions were not good. Bring the ferro rod..
Just wanted say Howdy from the PNW. I appreciate your vids. Thanks for your common sense approach to simplifying bush crafting for us weekend warriors just trying to get out and enjoy the great outdoors and keep if fun and not break the bank
I love me some flint and steel fire starting, it's super satisfying, almost as satisfying as the bow drill. The only real argument for viability I can put forward for the method is this, in a more long term setting, where one won't be able to buy a Bic or ferro rod for the foreseeable future, at a Basecamp or homestead type situation, it can be a long lasting and sustainable method of lighting fire. Great video as always.

Good morning Corporal!! Thankyou for a longer video !!

Longer videos are mint!

Someone has been hitting the weights...I flippin' love loadout vids.
giving you a like for using the fire striker so fast and not barking your knuckles -- impressive af
What do you mean, he's just making sparks with his knuckles lol
Give him a like, subscribe and comment for making such a great video!
@@Moondog66602 been me going that fast I would miss the striker and bark my hand

Good afternoon my friend from Syracuse NY
I love this drop time! It was right when church got out so my notification actually was still there. ❤❤❤
Nice dam job on showing off your gear list for 2024 !!
Just a dam, good video as well!! Keep kicking ass and taking names!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍

Woo hoo. Was just looking on RUclips’s for the newest Sunday video!
Thank you for your persistence. RUclips minders can suck eggs. I definitely needed this refresher course.
My wife and I injoyed when you built the cabin. It turned out great
I'm not kidding I could probably be content for the rest of my life building nothing but "bugout bags" my imagination for each SHTF scenario ❤
Military poncho in the desert monsoon season. Hands and feet soaked where they were outside the poncho. The rest of me, dry and warm with just the poncho. I managed to keep it when we were done. Love it.
Thanks Cpl., a very good down to heart talk on good gear info
I want to see you and the dude from outdoor boys yall are cool af
i did not see bacon you tell us things that we need to know it help me put what we need thank you so much

I use both

love your videos! I found a wide mouth canteen it’s called pathfinder canteen thanks again for your time
I’m a fan of the Snugpak XL jungle blanket
SO, SO GOOD, CORPORAL! Loved the video, and all the info! A nice treat to have extra time as well! You are such a blessing and very much appreciated. Have the best Sunday, and be sure to have a delicious steak today to keep up your strength, lol! 🏕🪵🤗
Looking forward to the classroom. Great quote: “Buy once, cry once”.
GREAT VIDEO AF .... Looking forward to your 24 videos ....

Great video Corporal. Thank you for taking the time to share this!
Good stuff, covers the basics.
Pathfinder makes a wide mouth, Nalgene size, canteen.
Some outstanding points made in this video. I like it.
Totally agree about flint and steel ignition.
If you're doing the reenactment thing or you wanna show off to your buddies it's great. Outside of that it's obsolete.
Right at the top of my feed how awesome. 🙏🏼💪🏼
And my Sundays is complit mr sir ❤ youst love your videos
Great video, appreciate you showing your loadout. Very helpful. I tend to bring too much crap that I don't need always. 👍
YAAAY! BASIC LOADOUT VIDEOOOOOO!
Great video! Keep kicking it in the ass, Corporal!
Still love your no mucking about no frills common sense practical gear, way of thinking, proof of use, and last but not least aproachable respectful delivery. Dont change a thing.
I was in elementary school when I made my first BOB and at the time, I had no idea what I really needed, so I shoved a bunch of things in a sleeping bag.

outstanding advice and instructions with real life use and rational.t hanks for the teaching
Awesome! Keeping it simple!
Great use of time not a second waisted. Like the explanations for the why this gear now.
Great videos always! I'm totally with you on everything, especially the bank line
The bank line I got through your work is my must have. I wouldn't trade it. So many uses.
Awesome AF VIDEO very educational nobody teaches like the Corporal cause he's the man thanks for always taking the time to teach in every video love ya Corporal
Axes are a must have if you are going into any type of forest. Unfortunately there is none in the peaks national park in the UK and most forests are on private land or owned by the forestry commission. I used to get all my practice in a private forest owned by a veteran who ran courses. Just wish I could still do what I used to do 30 years ago.
KEEP ON A ROCKIN IT CPL!!!!!!
I've been using a surplus M1941 pot belly tent stove made in 1952 to cook and heat a small uninsulated place like that in near -40 below temps for about 7 years now, and on a daily basis. It has passed the test of time and real world use. At the time, complete with stove pipe, it ran $100 delivered. It is still going strong. It is light wieght, about 90 pounds including 11 feet of pipe, a fire grate suitable for burning coal and wood, and allimpliments needed. It is well designed for daily living and cooking. The 9 inch hole for a fry pan is ideal. It is an immensly practical. It is about 16 inches in diameter, and 18 inches tall. There is plenty of surface area to cook on. 6 inch stove pipe is preferable to 4 inch. I would choose this stove over modern and expensive one for that application. It breaks into parts that can be packed in.
Still catching up on all your vids after ABCamping recommended you. I appreciate how hard you work. It’s awesome how fit you are too. From early vids to now you’ve lost a lot of weight. Amazing AF!! Thanks.
Thank you for another excellent video.
Also been really enjoying the mid-week videos.
Got my swagman roll also. This video it on point for all your bushcraft needs. OUTSTANDING Corporal!😎🇺🇸
Like the way you presented this. Great refresher from all your past videos!
Excellent video corporal, thanks.

Poncho liner makes an excellent blanket. Used the Poncho for shelter in Nam, never wore one over there.

I still go old-school with my gear and like your ideas. I like my set-up.
Greetings from Belgium!
You rock!
Great video sir. A lot of great K.I.S.S. equipment. Stay safe.
Basic class kit!! Awesome plan.
I don’t know why utube keeps taking your videos away from my favorites but every now and again I have to look you up and watch two or three videos and then they’ll put you back in my feed!

Very informative, thanks! All i need to complete my kit is a shamaugh (sp) and a decent compass.
Thanks dude for up date on packing out ! Hang tuff on October 4 th no matter what happens
Corporal demos his 2024 loadout for the win! From The Swamp!
Thanks, lots to think about!
Second best part of Sunday, right after church!
Sorry Corp first Sunday vid I've missed since subbing to your channel had data problems then work problems but imgonna watch it twice right now keep it up you're an inspiration!
Top useful old school things, very thanks 🙂
I’d love to see you make a wood stove out of an old 20mm ammo can. I’m making one for my hut at the moment and would be interested in how you would do it.

Survivor man.
He took 12 hours to get a fire going with the bow drill method.
I personally worked on the bow drill method for longer than that.
Conditions were not good.
Bring the ferro rod..
Fantastically interesting video. Cheers Sean ...from Scotland. 🇬🇧
$50 for poncho & liner from a surplus store 4 years ago. Haven't used a tent since.
It has been a catch up on Corporals Corner night, tonight!
# 36 Bank line!
Just Saying...
Damn good stuff.
🤘
Just wanted say Howdy from the PNW. I appreciate your vids. Thanks for your common sense approach to simplifying bush crafting for us weekend warriors just trying to get out and enjoy the great outdoors and keep if fun and not break the bank
On the fire kit: common sense + knowledge. Beats tons of gear every time.
Love your no nonsense practical approach!
Great video lots of great information and really helpful☺
Great video Shawn!
I definitely agree with your philosophy my friend! 😊
I love me some flint and steel fire starting, it's super satisfying, almost as satisfying as the bow drill.
The only real argument for viability I can put forward for the method is this, in a more long term setting, where one won't be able to buy a Bic or ferro rod for the foreseeable future, at a Basecamp or homestead type situation, it can be a long lasting and sustainable method of lighting fire.
Great video as always.
