I like you so much man, I got something for you, there is this company called Hedgehog Leatherworks……used to make leather belt sheaths for knives……they don’t do it no more……I bet that would be up your lane perhaps, god bless
Fun fact ! Corp is the main guy who inspired me to try and learn this stuff. Bow drill, notches and knots etc. I must just practise more. So i can hone the skills and own it.
These videos where you take the previous build and add to it have always been some of your best. I've enjoyed seeing you take a simple over night camp and turn it in to a base camp that can be a home for extended periods and nearly all season weather types. Thanks for another great video.
Okay, this is cool. This has the potential to be my favorite series you’ve done. An underground mud hut evolving from basics primitive survival to something really cool. I’ve always wanted to do this myself. REALLY looking forward to this one!
had a feeling you were coming back.. it just keeps getting better and better.. you're as tough in nails to be back out digging so soon.. you inspire me so much brother
Shawn, again you surpassed yourself with this long term build. I like that you explain where you're headed at the start of each step. I think it's gonna rock!
This reminds me of when I was in seventh and eight grade in Tampa and was experiencing yearly bouts of tonsillitis. At that time I was down with another infection and given antibiotics to eliminate it. Was supposed to relax and I didn't. I went to the woods and dug a 4'x6'hole 4'deep added a trench 4'x2'x2' 6'long covered in wood and dirt from the hole leaving a 2'x2'trap door.
I remember doing this as kids. We dug a hooch for a fort. Our parents found out and made us fill it in. We used brick pallets for the roof then piled dirt and grass on top . You would not believe how fast the vegetation grew back over the top. After a while you could barely tell where it was at. We would sneak cigarettes and a beer here there. Oh and don't forget the leatherneck and other mags our big bros had. Lol
This man is INSANE!!! He can dig a hole to China with his hands & a shovel. I have no words to say how much i appreciate this kind of work. He proves that his channel IS THE REAL DEAL!!! Respect to you Shawn👏👏👏
I don't often comment but I do appreciate the time and effort you put in to your projects. Your videos always give me ideas for bush craft and camp builds. Keep being awesome!
This is awesome. Many don't have money for a acreage & hunting camp set up ,but 5-15 acres, this type of build on there is in reach for many of us. Really looking forward to this series.
I actually enjoy watching you improve upon the shelter over a said amounts of episodes. This is what you would do in a survival situation. Keep improving your living conditions. I in fact like this shelter and where you are going with it! Keep up the great work Corp.
I hope everyone is taking notes.. This man don't show you the end project, he is showing you multiply shelters along the way! That's the difference that Corporal makes. Keep up the hard work sir, alot of us is learning and gaining knowledge. And thanks!
Wow, Tony Powers has grown indeed. I used to watch him as Pooter Stomper and used to enjoy his camping videos. I lost track of him after he went to the Pathfinder classes. Great video as always!
I always learn something from your videos , some things are new to me. Some are things that improve what I already knew . Your midweek videos are seriously sharpening my outdoor survival skills ( which in tern are helping me to teach my son . Who also loves your videos ) . I applaud you sir .
I have been watching your videos for quite some time now, and I have to tell you and anyone who cares to listen that they are improving with each production. I am 72 and am having great fun living vicariously through these videos. With the knowledge I gain from your videos, I am quite an outdoorsman and survivalist. Even though it is in my own mind! I do watch your mid-week videos and your Sunday drops regularly. I always give you a thumbs up as you provide good information, and I enjoy your style. Please, keep up the excellent work.
You never disappoint with your designs , their effectiveness, practicality and durability.The Intense work and perfection you create them with keeps me coming back.Always in awe.Thanks
Damn Shawn. My back is hurting all over again just watching you dig. Our dugout is 20x12x8. It took 5 weekends just to dig it. It was worth all the work. Watching you and Dave inspired and motivated me to make our dugout a reality.
Pretty cool idea for a permanent shelter. Lots of work, but hey you're still young and strong enough to get r' done. Looking forward to watching it develop. Thanks for the video and for share your thoughts and ideas with us.
Can't wait for you to finish this project. Very interesting. Thank you so much for all your hard work and help. You're an awesome teacher too. Stay safe. ☮️
This dropped 47 minutes ago. I usually see them later at night. Loved the midweek video where you put the chains on your grill. Thank you. Susansnow is right you could rent some of these camps for extra money if you wanted. AirBnB would work. Unless they would get in your way.
Outstanding AF. Great idea on this one. You sure can smoke an E Tool. You moved a lot of earth. This is going to be a great build. Looking forward to it. Thanks for all you do.
As always, an amazing job! You are certainly a gentleman who works hard to earn his pay. You are quite the example - and setting such an example is about as good a goal as one could have!
Awesome video as always. Have you thought about maybe publishing a bushcraft book, Corporal? Where you can show us knots, some basic shelters, tricks, etc? I know you have videos here, but it would be nice to have a mini book or something like that on the get home or bug out bag.
Looks a ton like the super successful root ball dugout from a few years back. Hope this series gets the love that one did, this looks awesome. Reminds me of an AlexWild build.
A Project-in-Progress! From primitive pit to Pleasure & Protection PLAZA! Good work, Corporal! I appreciate & enjoy ALL your videos, but this one is of particular interest. In 1953 our family moved to the outskirts of Birmingham, AL where the steel industry was at its height. Behind our modest little house were woods to be explored. Much to the delight of several 12-15 year old boys, there were not only abandoned Ore mines to explore, but there were Soil Sample PITS to be utilized. They were 3-4 ft wide; 6-7 ft long; & 5-6 ft deep. Using WW II machetes, we cut down 6-8 inch pine logs to cover our "Fort." However, there was a huge problem that made us afraid to stay in them: the area was infested with poisonous snakes. Rattlesnakes, Copperheads, & Cottonmouths. We were PROUD of our work, but never had enough courage to stay in them overnight; so we camped nearby using WWII Jungle Hammocks hung between trees we had not cut down. 'Blessings on you & yours from an 82 year old man with a kid's heart & explorer mind-set!
Cool! Looking forward to seeing what you do next with this. My imagination is burning with ideas. Will see how much we match up here. Take care. See ya next week!
Sweet Jesus, Corporal!!! Loving the build/tutorial!!! OutFNstanding Chow!!! Please don’t stop doin what you do! Teach them, they will learn. Some of them, just take a little longer. Semper Fi, Marine
As we used to say in the Nam..."home is where you dig it"; Corporal AF is THE hardest working man on Utube. Unbelievable amount of work!! But then I watch CC for the content and hang out for the chow! Semper Fi/ DevilDoc8404
46 is still young buddy, especially if you keep yourself in shape. I'm 59 1/2 not in best of health but can still get a lot done. Don't slow down that's when you start feeling it. Another great video....Thanks
Boss I believe you're part gopher. Can't wait for the next installment. While at age 65 I don't believe I'll be digging down to make a shelter. What your videos show is what you can do when you put your mind to it. You do have some raised bed shelters that I plan to implement this fall for hunting season.
Suggestion for best rice: stir fry the rice in oil before cooking, in order to seal the starch inside the grains (another option is to wash the rice...) so it won't be all glued together...

OK... now I'm really stoked... a multi part mud house!!!!! I love all of these multi builds. Thank you for everything you're doing good Sir.
Okay, this is cool. This has the potential to be my favorite series you’ve done. An underground mud hut evolving from basics primitive survival to something really cool.
I’ve always wanted to do this myself. REALLY looking forward to this one!
had a feeling you were coming back.. it just keeps getting better and better.. you're as tough in nails to be back out digging so soon.. you inspire me so much brother
I love seeing you get back to your roots. I enjoy watching your videos so much when you are having fun and not worrying about the algorithm!
The real deal, Cpl. has got to be the hardest working guy on youtube.
Truth
Agreed 100%.
😊Roger that
Yup
Yes, but if he used his hand tools to create some trackhoe tracks he would be just like the Indonesia fakers. 😂
I caught this yesterday. So far I'm getting Sunday and midweek video without any problems.
We don’t see many good videos like yours anymore. Great job, keep up the good work.
have posted every sunday for 4 years
Shawn, again you surpassed yourself with this long term build. I like that you explain where you're headed at the start of each step. I think it's gonna rock!
“More work than expected…”
It just beez that way on the Corporal’s channel! Outstanding AF!
Thank you Corp for staying true to yourself and fans .
We love you man . 💯🇺🇸

That was a lot of hard work you just put into that shelter. Love the effort you put into your videos and great ideas you show us.

That's going to be a great shelter that will work well in the winter, looking forward to seeing it develop

i LIKE THE WAY YOU PREVENTED THE BED LOGS FROM FLIPPING UP. NICE VIDEO. Thanks for the effort.
I don't often comment but I do appreciate the time and effort you put in to your projects. Your videos always give me ideas for bush craft and camp builds. Keep being awesome!
It’s looking good. Soon there will be an underground Taj Mahal. I already want to see the fireplace you put in there. It’s going to be great.
Can't wait to see how this will turn out. I'm intrigued. As always, Thanks for all you do
Brings back memories of the forts we made in the woods as kids. I'm sure yours will be better. Have a good week my friend.
He sure does a lot of work for our entertainment.
Great job, your attention to detail is outstanding af, the hole is square, walls are straight. Awesome job!!!!
I really like how you just expand off your previous built. It's how a growing situation goes, upgrades and so forth
Thank you for your knowledge and to ranger Andrew as well. Both of you are awesome and I praise you both.
Been waiting three years for this build, loved other shelter against the tree stump.
I love it in the Texas panhandle we call that a dough out, and it dates way back to the settlers
Truly this is the best channel to watch ! I love watching all the mid week videos and Sunday morning videos !
Was hoping you were going to do more. Can't wait to see the next stage of the build.
This is awesome. Many don't have money for a acreage & hunting camp set up ,but 5-15 acres, this type of build on there is in reach for many of us. Really looking forward to this series.

I love your videos including the mid week. Keep on being true to yourself. ❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Brother that's outstanding I don't care if your 26 or 46 that's a lot of work .hang tough Kelly we are with you ,All The Way
Good video. That's a lot of Earth moving. This shelter going to be cool. God bless. From Glenn CATT. In Massachusetts.
That should be cool in the summer and with a fire warm in the winter. Win win.
Wow, Tony Powers has grown indeed. I used to watch him as Pooter Stomper and used to enjoy his camping videos. I lost track of him after he went to the Pathfinder classes. Great video as always!
I like it, I’m looking forward to seeing how this build evolves and turns out. Can’t wait.
Good job Shawn! You're efforts only bolster your decision to forge your own destiny! In one sentence, best decision you ever made!
I always learn something from your videos , some things are new to me.
Some are things that improve what I already knew .
Your midweek videos are seriously sharpening my outdoor survival skills ( which in tern are helping me to teach my son . Who also loves your videos ) .
I applaud you sir .

Your skill set and execution of those skills show how much of a good man you are.
Yea.
Yes! I have been waiting for you to build a permanent bushcraft hut for a long time. Long term living in the wilderness!
I really enjoy the mid week videos. I always learn something-
It’s good to see you happy again.
Second best part of Sunday, right after church!
You never disappoint with your designs , their effectiveness, practicality and durability.The Intense work and perfection you create them with keeps me coming back.Always in awe.Thanks
Shawn, this project was an a$$ kicker. You earned it on this one. Well done.
Damn Shawn. My back is hurting all over again just watching you dig. Our dugout is 20x12x8. It took 5 weekends just to dig it. It was worth all the work. Watching you and Dave inspired and motivated me to make our dugout a reality.
At 60 yo, Dave the Big Dawg, brings it every day.
@@mrwes100 I’m 55 and still try and act like I’m 25. Some days are better than others.
@@firemanforever3000 59 over here and I still can get it done. However, I don’t recover as quick, but I’m good.

Pretty cool idea for a permanent shelter. Lots of work, but hey you're still young and strong enough to get r' done. Looking forward to watching it develop. Thanks for the video and for share your thoughts and ideas with us.
Your efforts are appreciated and well executed. This is a structural accomplishment that deserves recognition for both ingenuity and usefulness!
Can't wait for you to finish this project. Very interesting. Thank you so much for all your hard work and help. You're an awesome teacher too. Stay safe. ☮️
The straight walls on that hole brings a tear to this archaeologist's eyes.
I agree hardest worker on RUclips. Awesome video
Wow that was a lot of work. Turned out really good. Thanks for the how too’s.
Preciate you Corporal
Thank you for the videos every Sunday and the ones in between as well.
You are a machine. The knowledge transfer is what matters most. 99% of us would need to team up to do this. There's nothing wrong with that!
Good to see you doing what a lot of us wish we were doing. Good job Corporal
it is nice watching some one else work for a change.all of your ideas are great A.F.
This dropped 47 minutes ago. I usually see them later at night. Loved the midweek video where you put the chains on your grill. Thank you. Susansnow is right you could rent some of these camps for extra money if you wanted. AirBnB would work. Unless they would get in your way.
I must be one of the very lucky ones. I get notified twice about your new videos. Lol
Looks like a great start to a fantastic shelter slash bugout site!! 😊
Outstanding looking forward to part 3 !!!
Outstanding AF. Great idea on this one. You sure can smoke an E Tool. You moved a lot of earth. This is going to be a great build. Looking forward to it. Thanks for all you do.
Really enjoying this project corporal. Can't wait to see it finished.
The man is a human excavator! Much respect sir! Be well!
I like the speed up Timelapse. I like to see the whole process. Keep up the good work.
AWESOME dugout. Can't wait to see the future additions to it ! ☆☆☆☆☆ Thanks for all you do. ...Alan in 🇨🇱
Man, you do beautiful work with that folding shovel! I’m looking forward to more videos in this series 👍
As always, an amazing job! You are certainly a gentleman who works hard to earn his pay. You are quite the example - and setting such an example is about as good a goal as one could have!
I appreciate your endorsements of other RUclipsrs. I look forward to your 'little mud hut'! See ya mid-week 😊
Awesome video as always.
Have you thought about maybe publishing a bushcraft book, Corporal? Where you can show us knots, some basic shelters, tricks, etc? I know you have videos here, but it would be nice to have a mini book or something like that on the get home or bug out bag.

Looks a ton like the super successful root ball dugout from a few years back. Hope this series gets the love that one did, this looks awesome. Reminds me of an AlexWild build.
Now that is gonna be a kickass shelter.

Cool! Looking forward to seeing what you do next with this. My imagination is burning with ideas. Will see how much we match up here. Take care. See ya next week!
Hello from Detroit Michigan brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for taking us on your adventure into the woods
Great video , lot of work . Very interesting and informative the past two weeks . Especially the grenade hole.
Corpals corner is the man. I like that grill and fork
Said it before say it again that's a lot of grunt work. Thanks for your videos. Can't Waite to see this mud house in her completeion completion.
Great video the project is looking good can’t wait to see it finished.
Sweet Jesus, Corporal!!!
Loving the build/tutorial!!!
OutFNstanding Chow!!!
Please don’t stop doin what you do! Teach them, they will learn. Some of them, just take a little longer.
Semper Fi, Marine
Can't wait to see where this build goes
So happy to be a sub. Just relentless amounts of creativity and execution!!
This build is gonna be good!
As we used to say in the Nam..."home is where you dig it"; Corporal AF is THE hardest working man on Utube. Unbelievable amount of work!! But then I watch CC for the content and hang out for the chow! Semper Fi/ DevilDoc8404
I'm 6 minutes in and I don't understand what you're doing.... and I LIKE THAT!!! GOOD JOB MAN!! can't wait to see what's next! I'm loving this series!
Outstanding! Great core information. I look forward to what you'll put out next. Keep killin it, Marine!
Excellent Corporal. Survival Skills mean shelter is a must learn skills. I like the Navajo Hogan myself - just a shovel/digging tool needed
Thanks, Marine! Always look forward to your updates.
46 is still young buddy, especially if you keep yourself in shape. I'm 59 1/2 not in best of health but can still get a lot done.
Don't slow down that's when you start feeling it.
Another great video....Thanks
