Shawn, great explanation. Can't wait for Corporals pans! And can't wait for next week's video! Thanks for the teaser! See you mid week!
You are awesome Sir. 😊
There's the forced march and the sit and smell the roses walk. From here to there, if there's enough along the way, that's just time. You're talking about outrunning or running to the "front lines". Fuck that, I'll pull up a sewer grate and use the san sewer as a pillbox. Most of my men should have already been given the order to carry out. Leave me behind with an MG or two, and let em' draw down on the the Russian philosophy. Step by step, move by move, every foot is just another f'k you!
If I were to leave a bucket and a trail of nails, what would you want in a 5 gallon plastic bucket with a lid? The nail will indicate the direction you should travel. If it's not the same nail, or it's too high or too low. You won't be far from another nail the enemy missed. In survival, I can commit no deception. If the enemy is clever enough to find it, that becomes your problem, or solution to a problem.
I have greatly enjoyed watching your videos these last few months after discovering them. I love your different shelter builds and the explanations you give on how and why, but I have a question? What kind of shelter would you build if there wasn’t any straight timber available to use? And you still needed to get up off the ground.
Corporal Kelly: at age 83, I am almost twice as old as you. I've attended training events; watched many videos ;&heard many live presentations on what a person needs in the woods; & I have many years of EXPERTIENCE in the woods. However, your presentation today by far ECLIPSES all other presentations because it is REALISTIC; CREDIBLE; makes SENSE; and it addresses ACTUAL NEEDS apart from intent. I commend you for relying upon both MILITARY & CIVILAIN EXPERINCE rather than theory & the floating of hypothetical ideas. I appreciate your honesty, integrity, & concern which contributes SIGNIFICANTLY tio the PREVENTION of problems & issues which could potentially develop on the trail, regardless of AGE & PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS. It would be absolutely FOOLISH of me to attempt that which is absolutely beyond my physical limitations unless it is absolutely last resort. My physical condition, medical needs etc. are different at age 83 than when I was younger. However, I hope that across the decades of my life that i have learned lessons from my mistakes, as well as how to improve the things which I did right. There are still things which I can do to get myself in better shape; & you have motivated me to work on that. I realize that my COMMENTS are far too long & that I am only one person among your multitude of subscribers; but I deeply appreciate what you are doing. I am also confident that many of your viewers share my opinion & appreciation of you as a person & as a valid instructor from whom we can learn valuable skills & lessons. I support you & I pray for you regardless of your personaql spiritual values. Even if you are too busy to read and/or respond to MY comments, I hope that other viewers will listen to a very old man who hopes to NEVER STOP LEARNING! May God bless you & your family, your viewers, & your investment of time, & resources to keep us SAFE IN THE WOODS. And in your words, "UNTIL NEXT TOME..." The Old Preacher
Well said … Corp Kelly talks about a 70 yr old in this video but may now need to say 83 yr old !!!
Well said, Sir!
I hope to one day attend your training in person. My son and I love to watch your videos and are about to be taking a basic survival class in Texas where we hope to apply some of the skills we've learned from you and others. Catch you in a few.
Damn dude really typed all that with his sausage fingers. Mistakes included 😅 but a great comment and the old way is usually the best way. Every 3rd generation forgets. I value the experience of old men around me.
Old Preacher!! Thank you! Valuable comment!! 👍👍👃✌️🇨🇦
Happy Sunday everyone!
Same to you jimbo😊
Outstanding, no nonsense video as usual. Just a note for those that are worried about spiders, ticks and other "creepy crawlies", Permethrin treated gear and clothing can keep those unwanted guests at bay. It is not harmful to humans or animals but is deadly for insects. Stay safe Brother.
People like you and my brother are the reason people like me don't have to serve. I couldn't thank you two enough. keep doing you and ignore the people with nothing better to do.
Brother ignore the haters
Agreed! 100%
You bring the hard truth to what many think they're capable of. Few are actually prepared.
What I appreciate the most from Corp is the precise easy to understand and transition to application teaching. He's like no other I've seen. Great lessons and messaging here.
The best kit loadout video on YT. You don’t need anything more than this. Thanks.
50 year old grunt here. This was a good one. People overpack and under think. This is a good kit. I have found, here in Florida, a machete or kukri is king. I do carry a saw as well as the Council Camp Carver pack axe.
Always loved your no nonsense/ no BS approach.
It's is corporal Sunday It's the best time of the week
Love your videos. The most practical videos online - Period!
I've been watching your videos more many years, and this may be the best one you ever did. Very good explanations and examples and the overall theory so that people can modify their kit for their situation.
You keep things straight and simple. Thank you
Brother
I've commented on your post many times and I'll say it again. I served twenty years in the Marine Corps and still carry my old military gear. I am 63 years old and still lead the way on the trail. I carry what if gear, so my pack will be heavier than most. My Alice is my go to pack. I've tried civilian packs and always come back to my Alice. You ate 100% correct and spot on with your assessment of the gear. My pack mirrors yours, even without watching you. I have never seen an instructor more thorough than you and I truly love that you take the time to teach how to use the gear. You are an impressive, awesome warrior. Semper Fi.
Another great video. IFAK= Refuge Medical. Battlefield tested.
Yes
Thanks to all my brothers & sisters who have served our country, we have nothing to prove. As far as survival & Bushcraft , I've been using it longer than I served be cause I was a poor kid I've got over 45 yrs doing this and I still learn a new skill or two great content keep up the great work.
As a Canadian Veteran I can agree with what you are saying about exercising and using your gear. And doing 13 km full battle rattle and ruck at -35 (not including windchill -40 basically) winter bug out is hardly ever touched on. Mostly because at least in Canada we want bug in more than bug out. But your pack in that weather will be the start of your weight. Layered cloths system, heavier boots, parka ect. That weight adds on. So heat sucks but long march with winter parkas and jumping gear. You will sweat. And as soon as you stop that’s a huge consideration to plan how to stave off the elements and hypothermia
Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸🙏
This is excellence in teaching in this video. And a much needed conversation.
It really comes down to SKILLS! Of course extended wilderness stays will require additional water and/or food either packed initially or found and processed. Basic minimum gear should only change due to environment/climate. Fitness goes without saying but should be said again - 'physical fitness goes without saying'! Great video Shawn! Semper Fi!
True, the ones talking the most are usually the ones that couldn't or wouldn't serve. Good content delivered in a real way, keep up the video's devil dog!!
I appreciate your channel for its common sense & lack of BS. Your attempt to reality-check people early in this video was excellent. Most folk are incapable of realizing their fantasy is far from reality. One guy I worked with 20 years ago had a "plan" to hike 17 miles over hilly terrain in the event of an emergency so as to reach his place of work where he'd stored some supplies. He died of a huge coronary attempting to walk 1/4 mile back to a gasoline station after his car ran out of fuel. One thing you could have added: sanitary tips & tricks. I recommend wet-wipes as a simple & not too heavy solution for taking care of nature's requirements and avoiding potential problems. You may have your own thoughts, and it would be great to share them please.
Army veteran here your outstanding keep going brother
This is one of your best, informative videos I've seen actually! You are so on point! I've been backpacking for many years and in TN so yeah, the humidity is an ass kicker! Yall listen to this video if nothing else!!! Great Video man!!!!
“Write a letter to your loved ones saying you died cuz u were stupid” 😂😂🤣🤣 i love this man
i agree. i am old school i use my alice pack, my butpack gear same things i used in the military back in the early 70's true and proven canteen, cup, stove, poncho, poncho liner. have used many years at 70 years old i trust and use my equipment.
ALICE packs and the LBE are
good pieces of gear even though many abhor it.
They might not be the most comfortable, but they'll still
be in one piece with your cargo still inside at the end
of the march. I use the medium
I faced the same dilemma my first camping trip, after recovering from a brain tumor and ministroke. Before the brain tumor I was high speed, low drag. Camping, canoeing, hiking, etc. The load out was maybe 40 pounds, which darn near wore me out. Intent is as an extremely important concept to remember. Cheers dude. Day 76 of chemo and still doing ok. 🤙
Praying that you continue doing great and kicking cancer
Thank you for your comment, I definitely appreciate it. I’m an a “break” at the moment, while the next cycle of chemo is approved by insurance. This fight has been ongoing since being brought out of a coma, back in 2010. 🤙
Excellent presentation. I plan to show this video to my loved ones. It’s nice to have an independent expert help corroborate my advice. Thank you for what you do!
Wife and I have been watching for 5 years, I’ve noticed the consistency of the gear you’ve carried along the way, while the brands and manufacturers have changed the base gear has not. What you do or achieve with your basic gear is very inventive and informative. We both enjoy your ideas, presentations and videos greatly. Thanks Corp.
Kelly you're my favorite bush/survival channel. As a former grunt that may sound biased but it's not. I truly believe yours is the best. As a 60y old former(once a marine ...) I still train, I'm in the gym
3 days/wk. and every other Saturday walk on the treadmill. 4 miles with a 35-40 lb.(depends) rifle or pistol or just compact fishing pole w/lures. I still use my trusty old girl ALICE. ( med.) If it ain't broke don't fix it.
And like your 83y old fan the ol' preacher...my darling wife of 38 yrs. and I pray for you and your family as well. FYI my grandson Adrian is also a Kelly perhaps you're related,... wouldn't that be something ? 😂
I tell ya what…I’ve been in the woods by choice my whole life…and I’ve learned 3x as much from you…so much so I feel pretty confident going off grid for a year with just my pack & gear…So from the bottom of my heart…Thank you!❤️
So good to watch a REALISTIC survival non BS video.
I respect your knowledge and thank you for sharing hi from Glasgow
One of the best lessons I’ve learned in the US Army is the importance of rucking & maintaining endurance. Great content as always!
Awesome Video as always! The reasons you stated as to why you teach the methods you are the exact reasons I don't miss your videos. You teach from experience. Love the way you break down and always keep it so simple and reasonable. I am an Army Retiree and can relate to so much of your training and instruction. Keep up the great work and Thanks Again!!
"Outstanding " you explained that right, I over pack in amounts, but basically the same things you carry, I know how fast a 3 day stay can turn into 10 days with an injury or plan change due to conditions beyond your control, plan safely.
Roll or two of surveying flagging and a grease pen. This is highly visible and the grease pen allows you to put information on the flagging like your name, azimuth of travel and projected destination. I used to survey timber in the NW and flagging tells a lot of information. If your trying to be found for rescue flagging and information on it is an force multiplier.
THANKS CORPORAL FOR THE GREAT ADVICE SEMPER FI
Thank the people who serve America.❤❤❤ 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Awesome video, I will throw this one out there for you to ponder on, I have in my gear an additional roll of a type of tape, Johnson & Johnson athletic cloth tape. The wetter it get on the body from sweat the stickier and stronger it gets, you have to cut it off, with that it is cloth so it will burn, you can use it for twine by twisting it, use for bandages. Same stuff you see football players wrap their shoes and ankle with. You can include it in your I.F.A.K. pack. Love these videos, always give you something to think about
Wildland Firefighter for 29 years. When in spike camps we would carry 20-24 lbs packs with every thing that you need to survive 7 days excluding food. You have the best advice of any other site. K.I.S.S.
❤ you the man!! Thank you for all of your videos, teachings, and knowledge ❤
I love my Alice pack. Wouldn't change a thing.
You won't have to change anything. With minimal care
ALICE gear will outlast all of us
Very timely as I was just setting up a short-term light-weight pack. Ty.
Outstanding AF!!!
Hey Shawn, as always I take notes and hopefully never have to do an emergency getaway. Having an invalid wife poses a huge task as to what I need to prepare for. I'm 73 with a multitude of medical issues that I've overcome, ie cancer and heart, all very good now. As I watched this video it got me to understand how to ready myself for the practice. Thx as usual for all your info. Can't wait to get started on the latest get ready scenario. Hey guys if you think at 50 your gonna be great into your 70's, here's my info, be prepared for the unexpected. I've had to be very aware of my limitations. Stamina is the first thing that meds take away for your life saving future. You figure it won't happen to you, your living in a fantasy world. My best to all of you, thx Shawn for all you do.
Refuge Medical/Bear Independent has the IFAK options you're looking for- thanks for all you do-
I concur, their kits have over 100 saves. So…field tested.
Get yourself a Boston Dynamics robo mule to carry your comfort gear :)
I'm 70 years old now. I spent 3 years as a 91B medic in the United States Army from 1976-1979, where 50% of those 3 years were spent outdoors sleeping on the ground. After leaving the military, I spent another decade living my life to the fullest backpacking, camping, skiing, snowshoeing, canoeing, rock climbing, ice climbing, and mountaineering.
I fully agree with you on the high temperatures in conjunction with the extreme high humidity statement. That scenario is far worse than the low humidity and high temperatures of an arid Western environment, both of which I have a lot of experience with.
There's *NO* substitute for fitness, regardless of your age. I'm currently in the midst of a serious weight loss versus regaining some of my lost fitness program, spearheaded by eating Carnivore. I'm 5' 8.5" tall and 6 months ago, weighed in at 302.5 pounds, and currently weigh 272 pounds.
I've always thought that a base load, including survival tools, should be some place between 25-30 pounds because that's the approximate amount of weight that most people can carry comfortably.
Any extra weight that is carried should be in the form of high-quality foodstuffs that are as calorie dense as possible. Home-made pemmican that is vacuum packaged in 7mil mylar pouches, and that consists of flavorably-smoked beef or bison;
well-rendered, odor-free, clean white tallow; unadulterated salt; dried fruit or berries; and honey would be my first choice over any commercial dehydrated or freeze dried packaged meal options.
Fat is the most crucial element of backpacking foods that most people ignore. Throughout human history, more human beings have died from the consequences of fat starvation than they have from a lack of any food whatsoever.
Looking forward to the Ranger Roll video!
Great practical advice Corporal. Love the ALICE pack too--I have several. Nothing quite like mil-surplus for bombproof reliability. Also, your comments about using the actual life saving gear rather than improvising is spot on. Thanks for the kit breakdown.
Like what you say about attitude/intent. Foundational!!!
Going out into the back country, I always expect to be out for really long time. Learned this in RVN when a 5 day mission went to 63 days. Now I always expect to be gone longer, and when I come back, it feels like I am cutting it short. Leaves me with the intent to go back out ASAP.
The best way to get a IFAC that you want is to build one yourself. I found that when i ran EMS that prebuilt trauma kits where not up to par to the ones we had on the ambulance. the ones we set up
Outstanding as always
"Use your right hand to write a letter to your loved ones saying you died because you were stupid"
😂😂😂😂😂
I'm 72 (in 3 days) in good health and carry almost to the letter what you've shown here, even on a day hike, here in the Blue Ridge Mountains of NE TN, SW Va, and NW NC. The only real difference is my sleep pad is an insulated Klymit blow up. I know it can be damaged easier but after 5 years it's still going strong. In winter a zero deg. bag and Military Bivy bag gets substituted for the poncho liner, and of course better clothing. Good load out!
Excellent video and content as always. Due to a MC accident 15 years ago, resulting in 9 broken bones in my right arm and leg, I'm kind of gimped out on my right side. Have to put my trekking days behind me, but I still have a small packsack full of gear in my truck, just in case of an emergency. I still go for short walks in the bush, and carry this gear just in case. I just turned 85 years young, on Earth Day 22 April (which started in 1970) or as my 9 year old grandson says, "Gee Grandpa, you're older than the Earth". LOL.
Super glue bonds skin instantly. If you get a gash on your leg or on your body up to 6 ins, you can use the super glue to close the wound. This will keep you from bleeding out and you don´t have to sew yourself up in a pinch. Also, a very good thing to carry is Betadine. This will help to keep from getting an infection till you can make it to a medical facility. These two things are very light and small and can be carried almost anywhere on your body. Shawn Kelly I have watched your channel for some years now. Your no bullshit approach is the best. Un like Bear Grills who if you follow his advice will get you killed. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors and greatly thank you for your service...
Super glue or a version of it was invented for Vietnam to glue soldiers back together as it was faster with less blood loss than surgery on the front lines or mash units
10:40 Excellent video. I already know all of this but it is a great teaching aid
The life saving item conversation at the end is my favorite!
I’ve always wondered why the “bushcraft” world has been so stuck on improvising in this scenario.
If i have a need for a tourniquet then I need it NOW! I don’t want to be wasting my last 2 minutes of life trying to improvise a belt or shoe lace.
Its useful knowledge to have if you do find yourself in a worst case situation where its improvise or die but why rely on improvising?
I’ve been watching you for a long time and this is one of your best videos I commend you
Good to see you in better shape. Love the knowledge. Been watching you for years man. Great set up. Simple and extremely versatile.
Your excellent at what you do you're the real deal I'm learning alot from watching you thanks for making this RUclips channel
Great line..."Dear So n So, I died because I was Stupid" I am laughing out loud...
If you're older like me GET A GOAT & GO. GOATS are the perfect bugout load barring critters. Walking MRE's plus milk. Perfect trail companions and their tracks are very similar to deer and hard to track unlike horses and mules that will leave you for the comfort of the barn
Keeping it real in the woods!👍 love your content!
The Alice pack is hard to beat, I got my first one in 1987, I still use it. I have tried many other packs, internal frame and other external frame packs. I go with the Large size Alice pack hands down. It will haul in all your gear, and it don't really matter what that gear is, if you can lift it and walk with it, you can freight it in an Alice pack. The medium pack is a better option for when you want to lose the frame and just carry the pack. The large doesn't allow carry without the frame.
Wow, great trip dude. ❤
Sage advice, as always. Truth
As always, great and practical advice, Corporal. Thank you.
I'm 60 and retired, I boondock rv full time and I still hike, backpack and sleep out with almost the same exact gear you are using. Staying in good positive mental shape is just as important as physical fitness.
I section hike Appalachian Trail every spring and what we carry for long distance differs from Bushcraft, we bring shelter & insulation so we don't bring tools to build shelter, we have what we need on our backs. Usually plan on 5-6 day hikes then resupply food/hygiene. My cold weather pack is 22 pounds base weight down to 10F using hammock, tarp cover, 20F down top quilt, 20F down under quilt, down ski pants, gloves, polyester bomber jacket, waterproof wind breaker, rain suit,first aid,hygiene. My summer hammock setup down to 40's is 17 pounds base weight using hammock, tarp cover, 40f top quilt, 40f under quilt, gloves, puffy polyester jacket, waterproof wind breaker, poncho,first aid,hygiene. On both sets of gear I add 3lbs water+filter & 7 pounds of food.
The Corps regular references to Star Wars, Beavis & Butthead etc indicate a true man of culture. 😎
The actual outdoors/bushcraft/educational content is always top notch. I also noticed long ago that most of the gear I've seen over the years on this channel looks, well used and well maintained. Obviously kit that he trusts and has used extensively.👍
Triangular Bandage. 40" x 40" x 54". Cut old cotton sheets like this. Make a dozen of em. Stuff em in every corner of yer ruck. Three or 4 in yer Med kit. They are useful if you know how to use them. Obviously as slings and swathes. You can bandage every part of your body with these. Tourniquets. Rescue harnesses. Key in an improvised Traction Splint. Essential in Field Splinting of any kind. Easy firestarting equipment if you keep it dry. This is cheap and what you need. Make a bunch of em, share em around, show folks how to use them and make friends. doc in Galveston
Man! Great information this week. Great gear load out. Everything you said makes sense. Love the Alice pack and gear. Good work sir. Your the man. Thanks for all you do.
You know i never thought that it would matter what you use for a tourniquet, im so glad i saw this video so i wouldnt end up hurting someone more than i was helping. Thanks for the information brother. Keep that knowledge coming!!
Thank you for the school circle of hard truths. Most won’t tell you the real deal will just give a bs example that yea might happen on mars but not here in these woods. Great reality check thank you.
Thank you for finally being a legitimate person who has been through the shit and is now sharing it with us...
Sincerely your private security contractor....😊
I am also ex-military and a hoarder by nature. This is not a good combination. My pack was always the biggest and heaviest. It might only be a 2 day activity but i couldn't help packing 4 pairs of socks, 2 sets of thermals, 2 spare gas (cooking) canisters, an enormous roll of 550 cord etc. For someone like me what Shawn is teaching takes a lot of discipline. To only take what you need for the time period that you need it. Great vid as always!
Shawn, thanks for these videos, they are great lessons.
Thanks for all the information keep up the good fight
Corporal my friend you are the best enjoy watching your videos so very much don't let the haters get to you most of the time they know nothing I appreciate you sharing your knowledge thank you for sharing your videos Jake McClellan the Oregon boy
Thank you sir, for your service defending this country!!!
Great video! Thanks for all do!
Boy Scouts always be prepared. 3:27
cant stop laughing at "use your left hand to write a letter to your loved ones, and tell them - you died because you were stupid......"
and as allways - Great Video !!!
Sleeping wherever, I am a Vietnam veteran and I still sleep on the floor by choice. That part is easy, hiking is hard as I need a cane to safely walk and I also have a pacemaker.
Fantastic video, alot of experience in the information
Awesome video and very down to earth excellent tips your videos will save people's lives if they follow your advice you are an exceptional teacher and DESERVE credit for being one loved the video thanks for everything you teach love ya Corporal thanks for taking the time to teach these important things you need to know in life
Very good video
Cpl, you teach land nav better than the army taught me. I get flash backs when you teach land nav. Thx cpl for the great instructional video as usual.
Reminiscent of the earlier videos, I dig it 😎
Always appreciate your wealth of knowledge and your points of resources.
Don't let the trolls get to you, Corporal Kelly. That's what they want to do is piss you off. Trolls get off on pissing off an expert. Anyone that has ever been in the military knows that you're giving tried and true advice based on your own experience. I'm willing to bet that a high percentage of the trolls would be sissies out in the woods, if the truth were known. Remember: When someone is determined to make a fool of themselves, get out of the way and let them do it. I used to hear "what ifs" a lot when I studied the martial arts. So, trolls are trolls wherever you find them.
Hiya cpl. One thing you have not mentioned in these videos, is the food you take with you .... Cooking utensils are great but if you don't have food with you aside from mres... Then you would have to hunt / fish.... Most city folks that only go hiking one the weekend didn't know how to field dress animals for food. Could you address this on a video sometime? . Thanks for your work and info. ADDENDUM: I jumped the gun here, you did mention food, but could you address hunting and field dressing wild game ?
Once again great video with good information.
This video is 11 outta 10, I’m also ex-military-7yrs (Army Abn-Infantry)
Also avid UL backpacker.
Besides the basic full body crossfit style workouts I train with my backpacking gear, also I bring the same gear for 1/2 nights as a week+, so I am capable and proficient.
So informative, luv your style Corp!
I think you do an outstanding job with this this youtube channel I appreciate you I hope you have a great Sunday 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Very useful and timely video! For the past couple of years, rucking my actual pack 2x-3x/week has been my primary fitness activity. This year (2024) I’ve been working to keep my load-out at about 25 pounds. It’s my “training weight” if you will. And I still sleep on the ground in the winter. I’m 72. Not bragging - just want to encourage other seasoned citizens to keep moving and to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. I really enjoy your videos, Corporal! I’ve learned so much from you! Thanks for all you do.
