Just as AF as ever!!!
I watch all of your videos Sir

Hey Shawn!
As usual good information to know & use.
I think you might've done something once about the optimal length of a poncho but I can't remember?
I've seen folks with the Polish Laavu styled ponchos, you with yours & a few others here & there.
Is there a "golden rule" beyond getting something you could possibly trip over while walking as far as a poncho goes?
Like the maximum or minimum length as opposed to how tall or big you are?
Example- I'm 6' 3", I know my body side for my core is about 52 which's why I would wear a 3 XLT Styled shirt or jacket.
If I got a poncho which I have a few, I try to have it be no longer then where the pockets on my pants would be, but this is me& others may want them shorter.
What brand has grommets because I've heard about them but never physically seen 1 in stores & I mentally feel a grommet might "out perform" making a "rock / pebble button" to tie onto if you're making a shelter out of a poncho.
Another question, with bank line, wouldn't you potentially lose the "fishing line" element inside that you could use for fishing or snare traps?
I know one can make cordage including rushing line out of certain natural materials but if you don't have those handy & you want to try fishing, it could be hit or miss maybe?
Oops fishing line, not rushing line - silly typo
I have come across a few negative videos about S. K. When I realized these were what he was addressing the last few weeks, I thought I would share my sphincter noise if he cared to listen…
1) Don’t address the haters. Let them stew in the silent disregard they deserve.
2) Don’t bother complaining about you-tube. If you need their money then jump thru their hoops.
3) keep putting the pop up windows and links for your merchandise outside of your dialogue. It makes your videos shorter and focused on your content.
4) loved all the different ideas you have started. Keep doing what you think has value and is enjoyable
5) when you are enjoying yourself, your videos are just better. A positive attitude infects everything and everyone around you
Thanks for all that you do
Good points
Highlight of my Sunday that I always look forward to and 2 more in the week is like having dessert! I’m a great-grandma, my hardcore days are behind me, but watching you I have become better equipped to handle whatever might come my way! Thank-you!
I'm riding with Corporal until the road ends or the wheels fall off.
Same here
I'm in!
Hell yeah!
Deadass Because Only The Strong Survive & We Gonna Be Prepared For Whatever Thanks To Corporal’s Corner 😎✊🏾
My wheels fell off, now what. 😮
Wise words indeed. You should see what Felix Immler can do with a Swiss Army knife
I am big about carrying my haversack into the woods anytime Im out.... I have everything in it including 3 days of food /shelter and keep an old military wool blanket rolled up on the bottom of it ! .... I grew up in the mountains of New England and twice I've gotten turned around at sunset and once in a snowstorm that became overnites !!!!.......... I was warm ...comfy....and well fed those nites !!,,,,,I carry a Zippo along with my Bic but I also keep a Ranger band around my zippo to keep water out and it also keeps most of the fuel from evaporating
Loved my zippo as a outdoors kid, you can carry it if you can justify it.😃😃 I carried a mini bottle of ice 101 for emergency fire starting and the the way home😂😂 now it's multiple disposable lighters with oringe duct tape on it. And no leg burn from the fuel, but feel the, memories,nostalgia. Good memories keep me going.
The northeast will teach you to " be prepared" nature gives no quarter here. Cold, humidity for real
I have seen quite a number of your videos, though certainly not all. Until this very video humility is what I have never noticed before. The info in this video was concise and still at the same time coherent. The knowledge has always been obvious and presented well in your videos, the humility and the presence has been missing, from my perspective. With this video you have brought it all together.
I've packed a nearly identical kit in the field for thirty-five years doing contract archaeology work in addition to carrying the specialty tools for doing the task at hand. I have experienced every environment and season the USA has to offer. The man knows what he's talking about in this video. Carry on Cpl.
I'm with you corporal. Every person on this planet should be carrying that minimum kit it will let you survive when it hits the fan.
I love my poncho. My buddies used to make fun of me for using it. I've been out plenty of times in the PNW where a squall came through and pushed right through peoples Goretex rain gear. I stayed dry and comfortable huddled up in my poncho. They stopped making fun of me after that.
Nice video, Shawn! I would add one thing, a couple of tea candles. If you can't get a fire going for whatever reason, light a candle and place it between your feet. Under the poncho, it'll make you sweat. Tea candles burn for up to 2 hours, 3 will give you 7-8 hours of rest.
Thanks for taking us back to basics!
These BASIC videos are fantastic. A kit that minimal can be stored in a walmart shopping bag if needed. Thank you sir. Because of you I’ve made my own harness/belt kit. Water, fire, shelter and “power bar”. Oh and a good 4-5 inch blade and diamond sharpening rod along with a small fak.
Once again informative. It's the old adage-knowledge is power! It's better to know a little about something than to not know anything
Just like the fire service. Always going back to the basics. It’s the foundation to all we try achive.
If it ain't rainin', we ain't trainin'!
Down and dirty. Love it. Next stop- Ranger Survival on how to utilize a poncho.
Instead of a small trash bag, how about a compactor bag? Thicker, able to take pressure, lasts longer.
Corporal bare bones kit for the win! No "comfort" - but live another day!
Just when I thought you couldn't make it any more simple. You did! I love this. Definitely a lot to consider.
Thank you Bro. I'm walking Northeast towards Ohio. I can survive with my Marine Corps training, but even more so from what I've learned from the Corporal. You are never too old to learn, and no matter what your skills are, there is someone out there who can teach you more, and that person is Shawn Kelly. Semper Fi.
During my working career I was a building contractor. We used to jokingly refer to rain gear as "wet suits." especially in warm weather it was easier to get wet than try to stay dry & not overheat in raingear.
Thankyou Corporal! Always appreciate your vids.!
The Sunto compass is a great addition. It will keep you from walking toward your right hand side or left hand side and wandering off your path. In training - we all did this and not one person was the exception.
That’s the main reason I carry a compass, because it’s pretty easy to walk in circles when you get in thick forest,
Done it myself not a serious situation local ish woodland exploring it looking for camp spots walked for ages thinking I must be about to come out the other side soon and passed the same rubbish I did on the way confused me I thought I went in diagonal line for a stroll
Even though you were in the marines, I love you brother. Sgt U.S. Army ‘89 - ‘96
Hey Corporal ever thought about doing Night Navigating video or video series? I believe you would be great at helping people learn about it.
I always cherished my poncho with liner, and the shelter half and wool blanket. Hell those things alone were the soldiers comfort items.
I don't see how people don't get notifications. I'm signed up through a couple of different emails and get every notification and watch all of the videos. It's my small part to give back to the channel by watching everything. Plus I enjoy it and learn something new from each video.
Thanks for the video!
Have a great week!
Love your videos ive learned alot from you. Im a U.S Army afghan combat vet and your professional behavior as a veteran infront of the camera is something i admire alot about you and appreciate. Thank you for your service and your content take care brother. Keep moving forward stay safe bro. Your inspirational.
@@jamescrowe7892 the real world is watching the blind following the blind, its sad.
I started watching a year ago and this is the only video on Sunday I look forward too! Keep it up brother.

Another option for the trash bag is a trash compactor bag. It's bigger and heavier than the bag in the video, but it's much sturdier. If worried about weight and bulk you can cut the trash compactor bag shorter.
It’s sucks that people are always criticizing everything someone does. Love the down and dirty!!!
I watched both of the early ones this week and now I'm watching this one. And yes all 3 are definitely thumbs up videos. And thank you for all the work that you are having to do to get these videos to us. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.
You hit a home run with this one in my book. I love seeing how to make do with very little. 10/10, great work. It was videos like this that got me started practicing bushcraft 5 years ago. Thank you sir, you've been a real inspiration to me
Something I’ve added to the basic poncho idea is I took my woobie and cut a hole directly in the centre and sewed a plastic zipper into the gap. With the zipper closed it just a woobie. But if I open the zipper and put the woobie over my head like a blanket poncho, then put the waterproof poncho over it, and tie around my waist with a piece of cord, it is SHOCKINGLY warm. Winters are damn cold here in Canada and this setup is as warm as a parka except for your arms. The plastic zipper is easier on your neck. I can send photos if you’d like.
Outstanding AF once again. Broke out the poncho at a ham radio event after it started raining. You’d have thought I was ET trying to phone home. I have a whole pack of those bic lighters stashed in a few places
Thanks Kelly. A clear and concise explanation of survival kit and basics.
Cheers.
Simple, pragmatic advice. Brilliant and refreshing to hear.
Hey y’all, it’s called survival. If you want comfort, check into a Holiday Inn! Great job Cpl. Kelly, keep up the great work. Until next video.
Hooya ! Excellent work. I never travel without those things, even the pocket knife.
I include a booney hat because it is compressible
Between you and Andrew, what you guys teach, is going too keep many people alive that would not have made it. The shelters, bushcraft, the gear you NEED and the extras too make it more comfortable. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your teaching, and for introducing us to Andrew. God bless you and yours. And keep the lessons coming. OOORAH, SEMPER FI!
In upland UK where hikers go, it is treeless, very wet and windy. Essential kit includes a large, heavy duty orange survival bag or modern equiv.
Always good to go back to the basics tried and true corporal Kelly 👍🇺🇸
I used bank line to temporarily replace a rusted out pull chain in my toilet two or so years ago and it's still going strong.
should contact the company and tell them this, might be a good selling Point
You always make sense. I enjoy your time and effort. Thank you.
Great video lesson. I totally agree with you about the poncho!! In my military & younger years I prefer the poncho, though I did have a military rain suit it didn't take long before I ditched it and went back to the trusty poncho. I do keep a rain jacket in my semi truck to use if its raining while hooking and unhooking trailers. Keep up the good work and God bless.
Even an umbrella works better at keeping you dry then rain clothes.
KEEP IT UP THANK YOU AGAIN
Everyone should have a simple kit .
And yes a Bic ! Cheep, lightweight,
Even if it runs out of fuel , it makes a spark ,
Outstanding! As always. This is very good for that Day Hike to wait out the unexpected weather or inconvenient camp. Also CPL Kelly does a great job on his play lists. I go back and hit some of those for a refresher, even if I just turn them on and let it play. I notice that it keeps your vids at the top of my feed. Looking forward to Online Class. Thank You!
Very nicely done! My kit in the military I carried everywhere was very similar. In my butt pack I had the poncho, para cord, matches in a water proof container, first aid kit, and poncho liner in a stuff sack. On my belt was a kbar knife, two issued canteens, two canteen cups, canteen cup stove, ammo pouchs, and a compass in a pouch. I went through prep ranger in the early 90s and for the advanced land navigation they recommended a Suunto compass. I've spent many nights with a poncho asleep against a tree on patrol.
I like the minimal kit. Everyone should have one in their car. Could you do a video on what to do if you fall into the water, how to dry your clothes and stay warm ect? Have a great week see ya mid week and Sunday.
I tend to watch more when the weather gets cold and wet. If the weather is good, I'm outside and getting things done.
It’s an important point about the compass that even if you don’t know how to use it for navigation, you can still go in a straight line in a particular direction. Even if you are severely lost, you have a gross idea of your location with a state or county. In most places, you will know of a highway in a certain direction. Even if you can’t localize yourself to within 50 miles, you will at least know that if you go south, you will hit Highway XYZ.
I'd say more comforting than having the stuff is the knowledge that you will survive.
Nothing like being out in the woods, I got a playlist dedicated to your channel because it's so informative and dedicated to good ideas.
Today was a good one , sometimes understanding the “how” but not the “why” , makes a difference in the learning process, and that bushcraft is a constantly evolving skill,
One thing I would like to see is a blooper video, I know nothing goes as planned and it would be a good laugh 👍🍻🤣
Another Outstanding A.F video my friend
I agree that having basic EDC items for the “what ifs” is a morale booster even without comfort items. I seem to be simplifying my EDC items often after watching your videos and others. I can’t carry more than 35 pounds in my BOB so it’s crucial to stay light.
Nothing compares to the military poncho.. Absolute best second only to a good knife
You are legitimately a certified bad ass in my book! I look up to you like a father and that says a lot. Keep the content coming cause everyone needs a wake up call on survival instincts and tactics.
That's the level of kit I started learning with. Dad and Grandpa started me with minimal gear and then started adding gear and teaching me how to use more gear but they wanted me to have that foundation where I could make it with very minimal gear if I lost everything but what was in my pockets
Another great video:
Thanks for the poncho fire warming tip.
Just thinking about a, lost while hunting scenario using the poncho.
I like the way everything that is presented and explained always reverts back to
"Keep It Simple Stupid". Minimum load. Maximum effectiveness. Gotta luv it.
this is eye opening, great video as always keep them coming
I have been a subscriber for quite a while. I have no military background but for what it's worth I do have old-school scouting. At 60 I have to adjust my bushcraft approach. Your videos give me the foundation I use to make those adjustments with confidence. Thank you.
It seems like people write down what Corp uses or talks about and then get all bent out of shape about certain items etc. every person has a style and preference. Use Corp’s knowledge and experience as a baseline but take the time to figure out your own style, likes and dislikes. What works for you may not work for somebody else and vice versa.
Why not a Clipper lighter you can refill it change the flint's and the Flint part comes out of the lighter so you can just use that to throw Sparks to start a fire mate👌👍
I do carry a Bic lighter, but I also recommend carrying a Ferro rod, as it will work immediately even wet (I carry my lighter in a completely waterproof container, i.e. Ziploc bag). If I need immediate fire I use the Bic, if I can take a little time, I use the Ferro rod. It will last longer. I also carry a 2 X 3 Fresnel lenses. This will be my first goto (depending on the scenario and other factors). Neither of these add any weight to my kit and can add a great amount of aid. Still, great vid. Keep up the work, and stay vigilant, my friend!
Your compass simplified is a must watch.
Wise words as always sir. However I’m definitely going for comfort to some level when I camp out under tarps with two nephews and two great nephews in a couple of weeks time. Three generations enjoying an overnight.
I am a poncho person as well. Yes i have a military background but I find if you are going to move at all in rain gear you wind up more wet from sweat from rain. Poncho = ventilation
That video put things in perspective. Thanks for your efforts.
Very straightforward information. Excellent video. Great barebones kit. I have all this gear and relate to what you are saying. Comfort isn't figured in a survival situation. Sunday with the Corporal never disappoints. Thank you sir, keep up the great work.
Good content. The only improvement I can see is with the garbage bag set-up. Sitting on a bag full of leaves etc creates a well. If any of the bag is outside the poncho the rain will run into the well resulting in a wet bum and heat loss. Just fold the bag so it sits under the poncho.👍
You are absolutely correct. It’s about staying alive and getting to safety. Too many people feel they need to be comfortable all the time. Suck it up buttercup! Get it done!
Good on let's start all over with the basics again, I love reviews.
I appreciate bare bones, as I’m small and can’t carry a lot of stuff.
I like watching this one from time to time. Very basic list of things to have.
Always OUTSTANDING AF! Your frustration with people who cannot listen, focus, pay attention, learn, or simply think is very understandable. Love your videos. Thank you.
You know what’s a moral booster? Your videos. Thank you very much. You have no idea how they have kept me going through fighting cancer and recovering from chemo. I’m surviving and your videos help me keep surviving mindset. And give me lots of ideas to try out and share with my kids if I ever get strong enough to get out in the woods.
Outstanding AF brother I truly appreciate what you do thank you
Excellent compact kit and great video!
I appreciate the Stay Alive kit breakdown. This list of gear covers the basics of the Five C’s +. The items are simple and compact. Thanks for sharing.
Happy Fall Sunday Corporal! Thanks for the education and work. Great common sense and skills. Semper Fi.
And this is exacly what i carry in my backpack everyday, for last several years. Thanks to you, your lessons.
As usual, worthwhile advice.
Short and sweet!! “ That’s what we’re talking about……..right there”. Much love brother.
I keep a section of bicycle innnertube wrapped around my Zippo to keep the fuel from evaporation and keeping moisture out of it.
That’s flipping genius my man.
Zippo vs Bic lighter. I live in Arizona/ low humidity. I have 2 zippos, 1 with a wick and the other has a butane insert. The wick/fuel dries out in a few days. The butane works great EXCEPT at my mountain property at 8500’ in the cold. The Bic is very convenient and always works wherever I’m at.
Good job. Go one. Greading from Germany ❤
Outstanding AF 🇺🇸🗽
Thank you for your efforts making content and thank you for your service.
Please make a book with all of your tips and tricks as a survival guide that I can keep in the bugout bag. Your teaching has been so vital to my survival skills !! Thank you corporal. For your service to our country and your continued service to us the audience.
Hi Shawn.
I´ve been using this exact same kit with 1 small addition as a hiking kit / 1 layer camping kit for a while now. The more comfortable I go camping or the longer I want to stay out, the more I add on, but this is the base kit. The only adition to it is a 2nd poncho, a fleece blanket that my daughter turned into a warm poncho and a very small, comfortable (with backrest) camping chair. I´ve slept like this (reasonably) compfortable for 4 to 5 hours straight.
It fits (with room to spare) in a non-tactical looking, lightweight haversack. The haversack actually folds op to the size of a baseball and becomes a spare bag in case I go out with more comfort (tent, sleeping bag, pots, utensils, etc...) with a back pack.
I am stoked because you are the first I see on YT that actually shows what I thought.
Kind regards.
Alain
Another good one, Shawn! Carry on Corporal!
Simple strait information with no fluff! 👍
You make a lot of sense in all your approaches. Love the new format although I have loved all your prior videos. If that makes sense. Cheers.
I spent a lot of time in the outdoors. This is a good kit recommendation. Just a quick story, A friend and I took a canoe trip to pick fiddleheads and do some trout fishing one spring, He had rain gear from working on the ocean as a diver, and I had a Navy issue rain coat, thinking I'd be fine. We traveled 3 or 4 miles and it started to downpour an unrelenting cold spring rain, so hard we could see the river rising and we had to bail out the canoe every 15 minutes. We knew it might rain, but not like this. Within 45 minutes I was getting hypothermic, my rain coat wasn't doing shit and I was soaked to the bone. The cold rain was stripping me of body heat. I was getting very worried so I took an inventory of everything we had. I carry a couple of Bics and a knife at all times but, But there was no way I was going to start a fire in this torrent. My friend would have done everything he could but guess what saved me from possibly ending up in the hospital? We had brought trash bags! I made a makeshift 'rain suit' from them. We found a grove of fir trees. I steeled myself, ran under them, stripped down naked and wrung out my cloths, put them back on and and then layered on trash bags, from my waste down, my core and over my head. Within 15 or 20 minutes I was warming up. My cloths were wet but the trash bags held in my body heat. I've since found a lightweight poncho I carry with me in my light pack, with a couple trash bags ever since then.
Good story to emphasize these items and how they can save your life. Thank you for sharing.
I have a similar system, but with a couple more elements, the first is an Afghan blanket, which is very light and not bulky and I wear it inside the poncho, the second is a tea candle that I place in a metal cup between my legs when sitting so that the blanket retains the heat of the candle and prevents the poncho from burning in an accident.
As always, an excellent video. Thank you so much for your knowledge.
