@ Corporals Corner If you'd been part of the RPMfest work crew a couple weeks ago, I think you would've been in Heaven with all the material ( full grown branches, sticks, some decent pieces of bark from somebody logging their part of the property, plus other stuff to go either full on debris shelter or other types.) It was a job & a 1/2 getting all that out of there to prep for campers & more than likely, it'll have to be hit up again but, a potential for some kind of temporary structure for the actual days of the show could probably have been done. Just have to stash the stuff you'd use up until 9/2 for the 1st "official day" & maybe come in with a bit more minimal things like a tarp cover or something to finish off a shelter. Only potential problem, no real bedding except massive amounts of pine needles which I think wouldn't make a trash bag styled bed the most comfy if somebody went that route. Again, the music there may not be your bag but, it'd still be AWESOME AF if you could come even if it was for one of the 3 days the thing's going on.
I look forward to those mid-week video's . The pup tent idea is a good configuration, but like you said, us bigger guy's are gonna be uncomfortable, but it's doable and the rain tarp was done nicely. I really miss the after video credit's, thought maybe you weren't doing them anymore but was actually excited there was one in this video. Good advice in the end "after thoughts" segment though. Look forward to your next one. Now, without further babbling, gonna go watch an old video of yours that i haven't seen yet! 😁
I must say it would be fun to see you, Dave and your boy ranger survival do a video together. Believe it or not, I found you first. Then Dave. Then you did a shout-out for ranger survival. It would be great to see the three of you together!
One of the only people on RUclips I can rely on to be consistent with their content and uploads. Never selling out or taking the easy route, just determination and hard work with passion. We will get you to the 1 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS Shawn and it will be epic to see you get that play button finally. I'm almost excited like it's for myself, but I just think respect should be extended to those that deserve it.
Your absolutely right about the workplace. Alot of people who keep taking it, fail to realize that a job is only a tool in your toolbox. It's meant to give you the money that you need to live whatever lifestyle you choose. To treat that as something from a fantasy, is unrealistic and non self-serving. Which at the end of the day is what a job is all about. Thanks
Your absolutely right. I had a heart attack and quadruple bypass 7 years ago. After making my boss over a million dollars and the insensitive S that he promised me stopped but not for the other guys that where making him less. I quit and opened up my own construction company, and it was the best decision I made, Well my wife and I made. We are currently taking a 2 week vacation through New England. I couldn’t have done it un less i made that leap. You definitely inspire people to do things. Once again thank you.
Just so you know I love the fact that you go over your knots every single time in your videos it helps the new comers to your channel understand that you know exactly what you're talking about thank you for that
That spool of rope brought me back to my Boy Scout days teaching pioneering merit badge. There is nothing a man can’t do with that much rope in the woods. There’s no school like old school.
I’ve been there with a do it for the company company. Ended up doing 7 days a week and 120 hours for 40 hours pay for months on end without a day off. Nearly killed me, never again. I changed jobs and can’t believe how good a company can be. I have been here 15 years and loved every day. One of my sons works for a company who have staff meetings on a Sunday without being paid. He now refuses to do that unless he is being paid after I had a good talk to him.
So I've been tasked by my unit to plan and organize a BBQ. Don't want to do the typical burger burn but I was struggling to come up with ideas...until I saw your Korean Beef Kobabs! Thanks, Corporal; you're a life saver! Have you considered doing a few episodes focusing on Bush Craft Cuisine?
Hiya shawn. I allways love the old school stuff, all the content on this channel is ace though buddy. I love what you do, especially the forts in the woods. Crack on corporal , the world needs the sanity you bring to our lives.
I used to love camping but now I'm in a wheelchair so camping is pretty much out the door so I have to enjoy the Corporal and his videos also Steve Wallis are the closest I can get to it
So just to be clear....your still dropping a video every Sunday?! 🤣🤣 Your vids are always entertaining, informative and just flat out damn good!! I really enjoyed the "final thoughts" segment. Thanks again Corporal for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us.
I’m always amused by the morning boot tap and shake. True sign of a vet. Gotta get the camel spiders, scorpions, mice, spiders and snakes out before you jamb your foot in there! Thanks for the vid Shawn.
Thank you for coming out every week and giving us some amazing content and teaching your viewers some amazing skills I support you in everything you do and again thank you for everything you do for us
You are awesome Devil Dog... thanks for going back to old school Marine. With all the gear I have, I still go back to my military gear. Thanks for the videos
The equipment is my Era. Brings back a lot of good memories. Excellent deployment of the shelter half. That was a first for me. I never seen that configuration before . I think today's soldiers do not even know what a shelter half is..lol.
Final thoughts with Shawn Kelly, a true genuine human being on RUclips. Thanks for the work you put in, and have put in. For I do believe it will pay off one day. See you next Sunday.
I know you were a little disappointed in the temporary drop in viewers when you worked on the cabin BUT. hear me now! I have learned much from your videos and value them much! I look in Websters recently under "The Man" and it said look under Corporal Kelly". Thanks for what you do!!!! Keepem coming. RAH!!!! Chuck
I think this is the first time I've heard you say "catch you all in a few" twice in one episode. A shelter setup that gives you time for a nap is always a plus
I purchased a DD hammock in December just before it got really chilly. I didn’t use it then & I’ve only managed to use it this last weekend. I was very impressed! Nothing uncomfortable about it. At least I didn’t have to sleep diagonally across it like I’ve had to do in the past with my other hammock. I tied it very straight from the 2 trees. I took my kitten of 3 months camping. She sang me lullaby to sleep. For her lots of new noises & smells to explore.
Hi Shawn, I’m not one to wax lyrical but this is one of your best videos lately. I’m about there with shelters, but the food you cook is really interesting. Keep up the good work we are watching 🙂.
I loved your Final Thought. I was at that crossroads almost 10 years ago (I was running a large fabrication shop) and quit because of burnout. I started teaching welding at a local community college and it changed my life for the better. The pay is not as good, but I actually enjoy going to work and my stress level is much lower.
I’ve tried to tell people that almost word for word. If you keep giving they will keep taking. At the end of the day very damn few employers care at all. They will drop you and move on to the next person no matter how much you give of yourself. The more you give the more they expect. Thank you. I just needed to hear that I wasn’t crazy and you have no clue how well timed that was. Thank you for another great video.
Nice "final thoughts". I enjoy my job and have told many people a similar piece of advice. Work hard and you will achieve your goals, BUT if the people that you are busting your hump for do not recognize the worth you bring to the table or dont care whether you stay or leave, then leave. Find a place and people that respect you, your skills and abilities, especially the ability to learn and deal with pressure. Keep up the vids! I look forward to watching it on Sunday night-Monday morning (night owl). Have a great week sir!
Outstanding video as always, Corporal! I'm definitely feeling a bit burnt out, lately. Civilian life sucks. I miss the Army. Granted, toxic leadership is rampant nowadays but, I miss the brotherhood and feeling like I had a sense of purpose. Now, I find myself just kind of drifting through. I even tried to get back into the Army like a week before the COVID lockdowns happened. Still haven't heard back from the Archives. Anyhow, good work, Corporal. Charlie Mike and move out. Hooah!
Learned to whip rope in Scouts1965, also used old nylon parachute panels as hammocks when attached to SF. Canvas is heavy, heavier when wet. It also dry rots over a period of time, rubber or nylon poncho is a better option for a hammock and tarp . I rucked a large Alice most of my time in the Army . You need the old Coleman Army white gas stove!
Amen on your final thought Corporal. Being 'company af' doesn't change the fact that the company can deny your raise, deny promotions, ignore your ideas, force you to work O/T and at any time can terminate your employment. You go from 'company af' to 'screwed af.' I had to learn the hard way, a few times. Last time was because of caregiving for a parent with ALZ...I prioritized family, the company didn't like it...I worked my 10 hr shifts, on little to no sleep, and was still one of the most productive on the floor...I burnt the candle at both ends for years as both 'company man' and caregiver...I was still terminated after 11 years of service. Thankfully I had planned ahead, I made it work, and I was able to take care of my mom until the end...and she never had to go into a nursing home. ALWAYS work for your goals, not just your employer's, live below your means, save money, work your side hustle(s) as hard as you can, keep your head on a swivel, and always be prepared for change.
20 years and got the boot for not taking the jab. Luckily I had worked myself into a spot where I had zero debt. So while I’m working on a new direction (and taking care of mom) I don’t have the weight of owing a bunch of banks. Great advice about living below your means, only pay cash.
@@muskyman1018 Congrats on working yourself out of debt, being debt free is one of the most freeing things anyone can do for themself. I wish you the best with your new direction, as well as taking care of your Mom.
Corporals afterthoughts are fantastic AF. Words of wisdom are always appreciated to anyone and everyone, not everyone listens or not everyone has it applied at that time sometime words of wisdoms are utilized later. Thank you brother.
Sadly most jobs only see numbers. They express openly about going above and beyond for the company. They make it sound good because you want to excel in what you do, but most companies never show any appreciation or reward those who actually produce those results. I have seen in it through the years with people who give 120 percent everyday and still treated like crap. sad but true
I tried to write about how thankful I am for the structure that's incorporated in your videos. I'm a felon. I need good people in my life. Thank you for your service. United states military forever.
After 10 years of military service I spent another 23 years in corporate america. The last 17 with the same company. After 17 years I trained a brazilian visa holder to help me out with my workload and after 2 years of that I was let go and they kept the visa holder. This happened to almost all of the charlotte based employees. Fuck corporate america.
As usual thumbs up for the corporal. Me and my daughter went in the woods last week as she asked me for a five days wilderness adventure. When i was to scratch the ferro rod to start the fire, she told me: "dad, you're wrong! Corporal does the other way." That's it. All your job is worthy bro!!Keep going
1. Another good video! 2. That’s a big tree!! 3. You keep teaching, I’ll keep learning!!! 4. Get you a spoon for your coffee!!!! 5. Keep up the good work!!!!!
A good back to old school solo overnight video. Great idea for the paid skills videos hope it all goes well for you. A very deep final thoughts segment but very truthful you have to know when to call it a day
Nice video. You don't see many people whipping rope that often. We teach that in my son's Boy Scout Troop to the Scouts. I am surprised you don't use the Taut line hitch for your guy lines. But, to each their own preferences. Those Ka-Bobs looked amazing!! I sure love me some Korean Spicy Beef Bulgogi!! Keep them coming!!
So awesome. And still loving the mid week teachings. And you're right. When you work for someone without freedoms you've set your wage. There is no room for increase. Unless you grab the horse and just do it. Scary thing is financial responsibility to live and provide for your family. But love all the hard work know it's tulling much appreciated. Thanks again
Hello Shawn, Keep doing what you do. You are very good at it! I like watching your videos. My kids like your videos too. You bring good bush-craft information to thousands. It is great outdoors education, training and inspiration to many. Again, Keep doing what you "Love" doing it is appreciated by all that follow you! CTM1 Wunder, Retired
Cool video! Old-school gear, yep. I'm sure most have it. Something different, brings back memories from the early 70's! Best part however, the cold hard facts, and the advice, for anyone dipping their toes in the water, to see if they can dive in. Thank You Sir!
That’s awesome that your using old school military supplies to make a hammock and rain guard with a new twist. Can you do a video of different types of knots.
One of the reasons I love CorpCorn is because there are extended periods of just nature sounds and visual images of hands working with materials like rope, lines, canvas, wood, and metal. It's sooo soothing to watch. His videos are not filled with babbling and talking just to hear oneself talk. This is the essence of self-reliant outdoor living and I love it.
Your post credits words of wisdom were gold! They are words to live by. Companies, bosses, everybody will squeeze all they can from you. But don’t think that as soon as that door hits you on the backside there isn’t someone lined up to take your place. They aren’t Loyal to you no matter how much they demand your loyalty to them.
I still remember having to back pack the old style waxed canvas military pup tent that weighed a ton with a pair two piece wooden 55 years ago when I was a Boy Scout. I even still have the USMC pocket knife. Such memories. Remember “ never give up and never surrender “
Thank you so much for this video. We used to set up my Dad's pancho in the backyard as a tent. Thanks for demonstrating all of your rope skills, and knots. I really appreciate you!
Don't see how anybody could get bored.I love these builds.Its like a cliff hanger. Can't wait to see what comes next.And as far as the hardcore hatchet that is one of the best purchases I've made. Nothing but pure American made quality there.
Simple AF. You can’t beat old school. Missed your commentary but was ok. It was good to see the big roll of jute rope, is not often used these days and great to see you whip the end, a good instructional video. Thanks again
I am watching the video again 5 hours later, it is almost 0800 here in Western Australia, we are 12 hours ahead of you and 11,000 miles away, your little bell goes off when it comes to my email just after midnight our time so it is Monday here . It was very heartfelt words you spoke of your life at the end of the show. Interesting your comment about employment, I have always said "if you are not happy in your work, you wont work happy", -it is time to move. Thanks for being here.
Personally I'm happy your still dropping video's Sunday, todays was good but if nothing new is out, I refer back to past video's and continue to learn. One day im gonna feel as confident as the Corporal.👍💯😊
Another Great one! Just imagine how much better that Community Coffee would have been with some Bacon with those cackle berries!! In the Army we never seemed to be in an area with trees but I do love the concept and thought put into the multiple ways to make the gear work!

@ Corporals Corner
If you'd been part of the RPMfest work crew a couple weeks ago, I think you would've been in Heaven with all the material ( full grown branches, sticks, some decent pieces of bark from somebody logging their part of the property, plus other stuff to go either full on debris shelter or other types.)
It was a job & a 1/2 getting all that out of there to prep for campers & more than likely, it'll have to be hit up again but, a potential for some kind of temporary structure for the actual days of the show could probably have been done.
Just have to stash the stuff you'd use up until 9/2 for the 1st "official day" & maybe come in with a bit more minimal things like a tarp cover or something to finish off a shelter.
Only potential problem, no real bedding except massive amounts of pine needles which I think wouldn't make a trash bag styled bed the most comfy if somebody went that route.

Your absolutely right about the workplace. Alot of people who keep taking it, fail to realize that a job is only a tool in your toolbox.

Even on vacation in Cancun, I gotta give 30 minutes to my boy Corporals Corner. Great video as always man.

Luckily for them! Lol
The newest shelter is ba. It is a 1 man tent that also can be set on top of a cot.

It’s great to see you, go old school again with your military equipment, pup tent, backpack, and K bar. Great video as always, keep on keeping on!!
Great idea to show. There’s alot of stuff that could be improvised to be set up in various ways just like this. I like it for what it is.
I like that last bit where you speak true about your experience with your job.
I always like it when you show how to do the knots! 👍

The start of another cycle of chemo, but its all good because there is a new episode of Corporal's corner to watch.
Hi Shawn,
I’m not one to wax lyrical but this is one of your best videos lately. I’m about there with shelters, but the food you cook is really interesting. Keep up the good work we are watching 🙂.
Awsome video corporal. Love the old school equipment usage. I remember don't touch the inside of the shelter halve lol . Thanks again for the video.
As an old school Marine (1965-1970, E-e5), I’ve never seen a shelter half used this way. Thank you.
Excellent advice, Corporal, Sir.
I will never skip past the ads again thanks to AB camping. I didn't realize how important they are to the channel. Keep doing You CC I'm here for it.

Love the huge tree in the back ground. Your knot tying has in part inspired me to learn more about knots and rope tying.
Thanks Corporal for the update on your pay for classes I’m very interested & RUclips can’t stick their nose 👃 into your business! 👍👍🤓

Corporal’s final thought hit home for me, not necessarily wanting to doing what you do but still definitely relatable
After 10 years of military service I spent another 23 years in corporate america. The last 17 with the same company. After 17 years I trained a brazilian visa holder to help me out with my workload and after 2 years of that I was let go and they kept the visa holder. This happened to almost all of the charlotte based employees. Fuck corporate america.
As usual thumbs up for the corporal.
Me and my daughter went in the woods last week as she asked me for a five days wilderness adventure. When i was to scratch the ferro rod to start the fire, she told me: "dad, you're wrong! Corporal does the other way."
That's it. All your job is worthy bro!!Keep going
No bacon?? No Spam?? WTF?? Budget constraints?? lol
1. Another good video!
2. That’s a big tree!!
3. You keep teaching, I’ll keep learning!!!
4. Get you a spoon for your coffee!!!!
5. Keep up the good work!!!!!
Awesome AF...we're glad you quit your job
A good back to old school solo overnight video. Great idea for the paid skills videos hope it all goes well for you. A very deep final thoughts segment but very truthful you have to know when to call it a day
Man... Every video is just filled with begging. FILLED. Unsubbed.
You are just jelious
Nice video. You don't see many people whipping rope that often. We teach that in my son's Boy Scout Troop to the Scouts.
I am surprised you don't use the Taut line hitch for your guy lines. But, to each their own preferences.
Those Ka-Bobs looked amazing!! I sure love me some Korean Spicy Beef Bulgogi!!
Keep them coming!!
So awesome. And still loving the mid week teachings. And you're right. When you work for someone without freedoms you've set your wage. There is no room for increase. Unless you grab the horse and just do it. Scary thing is financial responsibility to live and provide for your family. But love all the hard work know it's tulling much appreciated. Thanks again
So cool. Military issue pocket knife. Thank you for your service, Corporal.
Hello Shawn, Keep doing what you do. You are very good at it! I like watching your videos. My kids like your videos too. You bring good bush-craft information to thousands. It is great outdoors education, training and inspiration to many. Again, Keep doing what you "Love" doing it is appreciated by all that follow you!

will be done at the end of the year due to throttled views
Cool video! Old-school gear, yep. I'm sure most have it. Something different, brings back memories from the early 70's! Best part however, the cold hard facts, and the advice, for anyone dipping their toes in the water, to see if they can dive in. Thank You Sir!
That’s awesome that your using old school military supplies to make a hammock and rain guard with a new twist. Can you do a video of different types of knots.
No, Yt will further throttle
Using all the old gear I used in the Army except for pocket knife and KBar. That is a great way to use the shelter half. Outflippin standing!
Your Final Thoughts are something many people need to think about this day and age.
Another great video Corp. I'm very interested in the one on one Email pay for email videos!!! BACONATOR & Coffee segments need to be included!!!
One of the reasons I love CorpCorn is because there are extended periods of just nature sounds and visual images of hands working with materials like rope, lines, canvas, wood, and metal. It's sooo soothing to watch. His videos are not filled with babbling and talking just to hear oneself talk. This is the essence of self-reliant outdoor living and I love it.
Your little “Sunday sermon” at the end hit me hard brother….
Appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge!
Corporal's final thoughts. Brilliant👍
words of wisdom .
Your post credits words of wisdom were gold! They are words to live by. Companies, bosses, everybody will squeeze all they can from you. But don’t think that as soon as that door hits you on the backside there isn’t someone lined up to take your place. They aren’t Loyal to you no matter how much they demand your loyalty to them.
Great video as always. Actually saw this in the YT feed for once..
I still remember having to back pack the old style waxed canvas military pup tent that weighed a ton with a pair two piece wooden 55 years ago when I was a Boy Scout. I even still have the USMC pocket knife. Such memories. Remember “ never give up and never surrender “
I use some military gear but I never thought of using a pup tent for a hammock. Great idea
Thank you so much for this video.
We used to set up my Dad's pancho in the backyard as a tent. Thanks for demonstrating all of your rope skills, and knots. I really appreciate you!
Don't see how anybody could get bored.I love these builds.Its like a cliff hanger. Can't wait to see what comes next.And as far as the hardcore hatchet that is one of the best purchases I've made. Nothing but pure American made quality there.
Simple AF. You can’t beat old school. Missed your commentary but was ok. It was good to see the big roll of jute rope, is not often used these days and great to see you whip the end, a good instructional video. Thanks again
I am watching the video again 5 hours later, it is almost 0800 here in Western Australia, we are 12 hours ahead of you and 11,000 miles away, your little bell goes off when it comes to my email just after midnight our time so it is Monday here . It was very heartfelt words you spoke of your life at the end of the show. Interesting your comment about employment, I have always said "if you are not happy in your work, you wont work happy", -it is time to move. Thanks for being here.
As always I enjoyed your skills in the bush!
Personally I'm happy your still dropping video's Sunday, todays was good but if nothing new is out, I refer back to past video's and continue to learn. One day im gonna feel as confident as the Corporal.👍💯😊
Another Great one! Just imagine how much better that Community Coffee would have been with some Bacon with those cackle berries!! In the Army we never seemed to be in an area with trees but I do love the concept and thought put into the multiple ways to make the gear work!
Back to old school 💪🏼, nice. Much appreciated shaun
Hardest working dude on youtube!
