Good news Corporal , you are #1 on my suggestion list every time now. First some bogus ad video then your videos. I've scrolled to the first video i could find and let it play while i work and when I'm chillen around the camp.
Thanks Corporal - tried this today...actually used denim...doesn't seem like it COMPLETELY charred, but it lights with a spark well-enough. Great video!
In the days we live, I continue to seek the Lord for guidance and to study ways to survive the coming destruction of the US. As I was looking for ways to make char cloth, you vid came up, as i have watched you many times and learned much...I ventured in, my first notice was the years past since you made this video...7...the number of the Lord for the number 7 is His number of perfection, so the Lord led me here...secondly as a old US Army Dog, I've sought the Lord and His will about fighting the evil that is within the borders of our Nation...the quote at the end of your video is confirmation that as a Christian I am sent to fight the evil and call out evil, both in the church and the world. I give thanks to the Almighty Lord God, for He is a shinning Light in this darkened world. Praise be to the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit, my GOD, One in Three.
Anchor's Away...my boys anchors away, farewell to college boys we sail at break of day day day day...through our last night on shore dream of the foam....I have a story from my recent past when I was caught in a 35 mph plus headwind and 5 metre ocean swell off of Portavadie, Scotland in my Riot 12 sea kayak. This was one of two songs I sang for about 25 minutes waiting for the RNLI to arrive to bring me to the marina. The other was a voyageur song...ma boule roulant. I took about two weeks to recover from the muscle pain in my back, hands and legs. Thank God for two songs and the RNLI...and a belligerent and stubborn personality.
Excellent. I have a propane burner similar to what you used. good to know I have an adequate heat source and don't have to have coals or some other open fire. This weekend's project!
An empty shoe polish can works great (I prefer the large ones) and the little twist lever on the side helps because sometimes the lids get stuck after the can has been on a fire. There's room inside for a good sized flint, a striker, a bunch of jute twine for an emergency bird's nest, a stubby piece of candle,as well as the char cloth. I put the char cloth in the bottom of the tin in a small Ziploc bag to protect it.
While making char cloth with using tin can method, you need to make a hole. Does this method also need some kind of hole or are the seams make enough air flow available?
I made willow charcoal for drawing a couple of times by wrapping willow twigs in aluminum foil and then letting that sit for a while in the hot ash in the fireplace. This looks less messy--no ash all over your fingers when you unwrap the finished product. LOL
I have been considering the PF ss canteen set but it looks to me that the cup will not cover the wide mouth of the canteen for making char cloth. thoughts on this?
Uh, doesn't actually have to be cotton. I've made char from newspaper, paper towels, cardboard, leaves, pretty much anything natural. Man made stuff like nylon won't work.
Thanks Cpl! How long does char cloth usually last? I have some pieces that are a few years old but won't ignite. No big deal, I'll just make some more but was just curious. Thanks, Aaron.
Being a former Marine myself, I enjoy your videos. Just a thought, could a old worn out white t shirt cut up in pieces work as well? I also use t shirt patches for my Hawkins rifle and pistols.
That salute and the video ending saying "It is better to perish fighting for freedom than to live as a slave" is AWESOME! We may have to fight on our own land in the U.S. with the many muslim cells here since the 1960's and ISIS getting stronger around the world. We need not be paranoid, but, be prepared.
Thank you corporal. having an altoid tin box is hard to find in the Philippines and if not it maybe expensive. with this simple solution you explained and shared to us, you actually extended my will to survive, be it natural disasters or man made disaster.. When all else fail.. survivalist and prepper will be there.
Magic word today kids is IMAGINATION THINK ABOUT HOW TO DO SOMETHING WITH OUT YOUR REGULAR SOMETHING AND WALAH RESULTS THE SAME. NOW EVERY BODY THANK THE CORPORAL WITH A BIG 👍
Good for those who are just starting out , to know. Just like a Altoids tin doesn't need a hole punched in it. But I like what our forefathers and Mountain men used and is replenish able, about anywhere there is wood. I think Punkwood is a lot better , because the ember lasts a lot longer.
Unfortunately, I find tin foil at a lot of the campsites I come across, so this is a pretty realistic method if one was hung up in the national forest without comms.
Man going back and watching these old Cpl Corner videos has been awesome.
Came up on your channel a couple months ago started watching your videos now there a must watch for me

Thanks again for another straight forward approach to a common survival item.
Keep the videos coming I think they're great good job.
I just love those cookie tins! They are the best for charring materials
You are truly a life saver, God be with you and yours my brother, my children and I are greatful. Thank you.
Thanks Corporal - tried this today...actually used denim...doesn't seem like it COMPLETELY charred, but it lights with a spark well-enough. Great video!
Hmm thanks for the info, i tried it with fibercloth and that does seem to work good. Also dishcloth ;)
your channel deserves much more views than it already has! very helpful and informative, thanks!
Thanks very much for some clear, concise valuable info. Like your style. Keep 'em comin'!!!

Great video! You can use a can of Sterno to heat the Char Cloth. They cost $1.00 at your local Dollar Tree store!
Just tried it on my alcohol stove,Worked Great,Very useful Thank you Sir !!!
Outstanding as always brother, thank you for sharing all your videos!
Awesome them song! METALLICA!!
luv your videos bro
The end music, was the song that my school choir (when I was 7 with the voice of an angel) won in a Glasgow inter schools competition.

I'd make a bigger bundle of charcloth, but I like this method of only using aluminium foil instead of a tin.
That sure is a mighty fine technique when you don't have a tin to hand, a super vid. 😁😀😁👍👍👍UK
I am more of a fan of end-chared lamp wick. But after that ending, I will definitely make some char cloth. HOOAH !
Amazing. Thank you for sharing this knowledge brother.
Great videos man - strong narrative with all of your explanations. Thank you.
Yeah! Great video! Malo Periculosam Libertatum!
Great video, thank you and congratulations! 👍🏻

Watch my Aluminum foil video, I do this same method and put it in the coals. thanks for watching

Every day is a school day. Thank You.
Very useful and practical.
very awesome video thank you so much for sharing with us..
I was wondering how to do this. Im a new sub and really enjoying your videos. God bless you and your family.
This is an amazing video!!! I like the ending on this video very much sir!!!
Hell yes! More great info
Short but sweet
this was amazing , thank you .. cant wait to see the rest of the video's
Thank you and thanks for watching
I used a hobo stove /mini fire tin that i made (thanks to your video) and a altoids can worked graet.
Definitely going to try this
Tried it, and it works great
Semper Fi very good video. CPL Jordan here.
Thank you, I really like your vids.
Nice Method! Thanks Bro!
I have been considering the PF ss canteen set but it looks to me that the cup will not cover the wide mouth of the canteen for making char cloth. thoughts on this?
Okay, What do you do with a "char cloth" after you char it?????
Impresionante 👏👌
🌎🌴
great video bud, keep up the great work
Thank you
Outstanding
Have you ever made char from a dried hand wipe? If you did what was the result thanks
Thanks! Useful tip when there is no tin around!
Thank you for the views
Uh, doesn't actually have to be cotton. I've made char from newspaper, paper towels, cardboard, leaves, pretty much anything natural. Man made stuff like nylon won't work.
Thanks Cpl! How long does char cloth usually last? I have some pieces that are a few years old but won't ignite. No big deal, I'll just make some more but was just curious. Thanks, Aaron.
I would think that it is a function of moisture content. If you placed the tin near enough to a heat source you could drive out moisture.
Great instruction once again. Thank you.
Handy trick. Thanks.
Can you make char cloth on a campfire?
Yes. Works the same.
That is a great tip I always have tinfoil in my EDC so there is even one more use for it Thanks Brother!
Another great video
Thank you Corporal!
Being a former Marine myself, I enjoy your videos. Just a thought, could a old worn out white t shirt cut up in pieces work as well? I also use t shirt patches for my Hawkins rifle and pistols.
Obviously yes. Why doesn't anyone use cotton ball
Off topic but where do you those hats/du rags?
What is the maximum size can you can safely use? I have an old cookie tin that I would like to use. I have a 74" diameter cookie tin.
Thumb up!!!
Clark
Excellent value
Damn man glad i found this video! Have a great weekend sir. ATB from the Knife
Man thanks for this, i kept cutting up soda-cans
Has anyone else searched his video list to find out when he started to end his video's with a salute? I know there's someone else that has.
What is your point?
Dam I asked you this question already, disregard it...This is sweet and I am going to try it...
My father was a Marine. I have 3 nephews who are Marines. The youngest Matthew just graduated from boot camp.He was at Paros Island.
Good vid brother
only you can limit you...
Thanks so much
That salute and the video ending saying "It is better to perish fighting for freedom than to live as a slave" is AWESOME! We may have to fight on our own land in the U.S. with the many muslim cells here since the 1960's and ISIS getting stronger around the world. We need not be paranoid, but, be prepared.

Thank you
yeah...and the song is cool ;)
Hi corporal. I was going to make char cloth until I saw a YT video that used very fine steel wool instead. Much easier and less work.
