Right after this video I went in my kitchen and made that dish. Probably better on open fire but still pretty awesome. I added white cheddar cheese though.
I am 75 yrs. old and have used the overturned tree roots for shelter for most of my adult life. Never had one to rise up on me! Also shaving off the face of the roots as you did will get get rid of most creepy crawlers that might be surviving the winter in the crevices. Much better than a shallow rock cave. Let the heat and smoke start warming up the rock and every creepy crawler that's there will come out all night long! Love the way you created the inside fire pit. I never get to old to learn! The way you created the different levels to avoid a water problem was very well shown and should be used if rain is forecast. For long term usage, it is a must. Needless to say I loved the video and look forward to many more!
Shawn - I just watched this video with my eight year old daughter last night and she was absolutely glued to the TV. She said, "Daddy, that guy is so cool!" and insisted that we watch about 2 more of your videos. She is a big fan of Corporals Corner and we are heavily considering taking Intro to Survival in the Spring at the Pathfinder School. Awesome content and keep doing what you do man. God Bless and Godspeed!
Nothing better than being in a comfortable, warm bed while it’s heavily snowing or raining outside. So yes, as a lazy man, I do in fact know all about the satisfaction of being comfortable in adverse conditions. Good day.
@@lovestop101 yeah I was thinking the op here left out the word "outdoors" Few people know the satisfaction of being comfortable OUTDOORS in adverse weather conditions.
One of your best. I suspect most of your viewers just enjoy the process. I'm 69 and digging the hole would be enough exercise for me. Keep the videos coming!
Corporal just wanted to say that I appreciate the hard work you do building these shelters. It takes real dedication to get out in 10° weather with it snowing and DIG into the frozen ground, and spend the night in freezing weather, just to make your videos for your legion's to watch. Thanks for all that you do.
You are literally digging ditches for this channel. I don’t know what motivates you, the fans, the money, the love for bushcraft, and I don’t know what you’re getting out of putting so much work in this but, whatever it is that you are looking for, I hope you get it, cause you deserve every bit of it. Thank you.
He "gets nothing"? Seriously??RUclips pays him 45% of the revenue his show generates. With the number of views and his subscribers alone he's probably pulling in six figures. Then look at his commissions from links to products he recommends. He's definatly not hurting money wise.
I'm a mechanical engineer and the winter indoor design temperature target is 68 degrees. 60 degrees in that underground shelter is outstanding and with a hot meal like that you got it made.
My best bet for wilderness survival is to accidentally come across an abandoned Corporals Corner survival shelter then not only will I survive, I will live like a king and in obscene decadent luxury!
I always get exited when I get that notice of another video. I know after the grandkids see it it's to the woods we go. You have no idea the memories you are making.
Dude, been watching you for almost a year and that might be the most OUTSTANDING shelter build ever. I know people will say it's not practical for a quick shelter, but who cares - it was just awesome. 4 walls and a roof with a wood heater in a day?!? Nice work - definitely inspiring!
That's a lot of hard work!! As I watched this video I thought ... there is a man who loves what he does! The old saying comes to mind ... find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life. Still ... that's a lot of hard work. Thanks for another great video.
I really love your channel and all the awesome projects you do... but one of my favorite parts is all your 80’s references. The Atari shirt, the Wax On Wax Off... all of it. Great stuff. Keep ‘em coming, Warrior! Be safe. 🇺🇸💪🏼
Let's get it going boys and girls. Time to learn some real stuff from a real classy guy. No fluff. By the way my algorithm auto fed corporal's corner to me all day yesterday it was awesome.
almost at 500k ! let’s get this man to half a million subs then work on the million milestone. he deserves it more than many you tubers to say the least. absolute legend. keep up the great videos sir
Without you we are nothing, your videos will help all when the shit hits the fan, keep the videos coming and more from the hip that land navigation was eye opening lots of knowledge
It puts things into perspective on just how long it would have took the service men in ww1 to dig the trenches, outstanding work I love how much passion time and effort you put into your work.
I am 54 years young; was a Specialist and Medic in the Army and I appreciate your Lord of the Rings and Karate Kid references. I really enjoyed and respect the 75 year old who has utilized fallen trees most of his adult life. Off the Grid homelessness may just become an on-purpose norm in the coming days for tens (hundreds) of millions of people around the globe: you are so cool for posting this survivalist hack info. Hail the Marines - you've represented them well. HOORAH!
One of my biggest regrets is not joining the USMC with my friends after school. Watching your videos, brings a certain level of joy to me as I'm a huge fan of the marine corps, and even the lady likes watching these with me too. Thank YOU, and you're welcome Anytime Corporal!
People forget that in a pinch, a creative person can do a lot with just a little. Great survival shelter. With a few more days effort, that could be made very comfortable and keep one alive for a long time, even in difficult temps. Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it.
Seriously, the shelters with the integrated fireplace/chimney are my favorites. The last one, the teepee style, leaning against the tree, with the door, was also amazing!
I'll say it again. It doesn't get any better than that!I l love this channel. I love everything you've done, and I'm a Corporals Corner lifer. Flat out great entertainment. 👁❤🏕❇🔥🥓
For a SERE exercise, I hid in the uprooted tree roots with mylar survival blanket to hid my IR signature from overhead drones during the night. Worked like a champ. Never found me and my team was the only one to make it to the extraction point. Don't worry they still flew us to the prisoner camp to join the party with our friends that got caught earlier.
Your dig reminded me of a great foxhole my battle buddy and I dug in similar clay soil. It was an OP with a commanding view over a road intersection. It had two seats cut out, a table between, a cut out for our comms, a cut out for ammo boxes, extra deep grenade sumps, and really well camouflaged overhead cover of logs and living shrubs. We just got creative and had fun with it. That clay fireplace idea would have been fantastic had we been allowed, hehe.
I'm also still excited AF to see 'Solo Overnight... Building A Tree Fort In The Woods... Part 4... ' could that work? Please finish the fort! (A)F the algorithm! "Build it (...the fort) and they will come"
At first sight of the thumbnail image I knew that I was seeing something special, something very special indeed! You recognised the benefits of the uprooted tree base and the hollowed out earth for the natural shelter potential that they had, whereas others would've passed by without noticing! Your simple, basic hand tools and your skills and carried gear, knowledge and determination enabled you to dig out, smooth out and fit out the best, most sheltered, heated base camp that I have ever seen! This not only enables you to survive, but to positively thrive! The pride, satisfaction, warmth and comfort at having such a well considered and well constructed base camp would boost one's morale by a considerable order of magnitude! This is living WITH nature rather than working against it, letting nature help you, and your skills and experience enable you to recognise and respect what's already there in nature, just waiting to be found and appreciated. You can dry clothing, cook, brew up, rest, recover and recuperate, and enjoy time in your unique shelter, rather than just struggling to get by! To say that what you've done is inspiring is a huge understatement, what you've shown your extremely fortunate viewers is that they can work with nature and create a shelter beyond their wildest expectations! A good many viewers wouldn't want to leave such a perfect shelter and would prefer to make it their base camp! Thank you for teaching, inspiring and showing your viewers what may be achieved with the right mindset and their carry tools and gear, and hard work, it is truly appreciated!
If an when You GOT to replicate this Man's action's you'll perform quite well, simply because he's shown you the most important, basic step's to keep yourself dry an warm. 👍
Why can't you, or the rest of us do this? It's like anything. If you're interested enough, you'll do it and learn. And I've dug more drains, foundations, footings, filled untold skips with countless wheelbarrows of earth and stones - I should be able to dig a decent hole.
I grew up in the millitary my father is a retried lefttenant kernal. We built many ground covers like this in Germany during the 1970's love this video I still make these at 58 years old. And im a women and prepper
One cool shelter, vs being in the elements ID rest good at 60° f I've been watching a good bit of Corporals Corner which I enjoy Just had brain surgery and 32 days in and now rehabilitation at Home I aint decided to drive yet I better take another couple of weeks and get stronger, very fortunate thankful to God still have my Life . Take Care Corp Kelly good to see You doing good (as fudge)
I was concerned about digging in clay about drainage, but you addressed that. This shelter is yet another that is KNOCK OUT, out of the park. I would never have dreamed a secure and heated shelter could be built under the roots of an uprooted tree!!
This is why I like this guy. Basic survival skills presented with a love for his audience. I live in Hawai'i, and if it starts to snow, I'll know what to do. :)
Even big boys like to play in the dirt, LOL! Seriously, another creative shelter made with your own two hands and a lot of elbow grease. We appreciate all the hard work you put into entertaining us, Shawn. Question: Remember the log cabin you were working on just before hunting season? Are you planning to go back to that and finish it like you talked about?
This is so much better than those prissy boy over priced name brand everything complaining about carrying more than one ounce of equipment on some self inflicted death march kind of video.
Not naming names but there's this one guy who complains about the weight of a knife and it's trying to make it light as paper, meanwhile I was carrying a kukri and I hardly felt it when I carried it (I sence lost it)
Uh, ya!! Cuzz, who wants to see someone walking the Apalacian Trail yet again. If they really wanted to get some "Hiking" done, Head up the old Alaska Highway, since it has been rebuilt, the old highway is left to decay mostly, so its been a good twenty years, I am sure there would be some fun and interesting trails to follow. Not to mention, the thick clouds of no seeums, and black flies, that just simply eat you alive. Peeps may be used to ticks, but a thick cloud of noseeums, and yer done! lemme tellya, those get in even with netting. Unless it is super fine netting. Bet you won't hear of anyone complaining their packs are too heavy on a hike up the Alaska Highway LOL
@@kimlightfoot I rarely encountered any noseeums during my hike on the Alaskan freeway. Probably because I didn't see um. Oh, but the black flies. They were sooooo violent compared to the white ones. Left me scarred. Other than that, it was a very nice week.
@@thecelticprince4949 You must mean Shoe String he is 50 years old and does some amazing videos. Uses his knowledge and experience to survive, and shares real life experiences as they happen.
I am 62, never served in the armed forces but am totally thankful and respect what you did more than anything. I take my hat off to you sir! I’ve camped most all my life, I really enjoy watching Bushcraft videos, your earth shelter is the best by far!
Talk about memories, when I was a kid my buddies and me built an underground fort very similar to that. Not only did we have the exact same type of fireplace, but we even dug most of it with a 'Nam era E Tool like that, LOL. We did eventually scrounge up some scrap tin for a roof. With the fireplace blazing in the winter it could be -20 outside with the wind howling and still nice and toasty inside. Little did our folks know we heated the thing that way for 2 winters before some Karen seen smoke one day and called the cops. That was the end of our awesome hangout.
You never cease to amaze me, what a person can do who has the know how and the physical ability to carry it out; and that in a very cold situation. Job well done sir!
Things I like about Shawn Kelly and his videos: They’re informative They make me laugh They show just what can be done to be comfortable in the woods They make me have my own flashbacks on occasion (spent enough wet miserable nights in holes from 1981 to 1995 They always and I mean almost always involve a cup/ pan/pot of brown deliciousness
I learned so much watching this video. How to make a frame for a tarp Intentional digging techniques Intentional dirt placement and distribution ... Outstanding
How could you not like this video to 501 that didn’t like it. Digging a hole can only be so interesting. It all the little things he did make it comfortable. The fireplace was killer!
Outstanding shelter corporal, here in UK we have alot of fallen trees, everytime I stroll past a fallen tree, I think of corporal's corner, a shovel and bacon dishes
Like many others said, this is probably one of the coolest builds you've done. The treehouse was cool of course, but this one had some... special sauce. You could hide this shelter so well too, very "tacticool". A while back when you made a shelter from that hollow fallen tree, it made me think what you could do with some man-made elements. Like how you would set up a shelter in a derelict car for example. Maybe a Halloween zombie-survival special :D
I constantly find myself coming back to this video. One of my favorite shelters you've done. As always, keep up the great content. I look forward to it every weekend.
Your vids motivated me to get out there with my son and build a shelter of our own i cant believe we slept in it for a nigh. I brought a tent just in case but it was never needed. THANK YOU!
Man, I barely recognized you from watching you about a year ago. People might be interested in a video for this type of overnighter that includes E&E tactics like hiding your presence and smoke, and whatnot. Thanks for putting in all that work.
That was awesome, I'd never had thought of using an upturned tree for the basis of a shelter. Thank you for your time & sharing this. Stay safe until the next video ✊🏻
When you want to sleep comfy, *and* not have to dive out of your sleeping bag into a separate foxhole when the incoming siren goes off... Looks great, man! :)
This is the best shelter built by one man in one day. From a poncho. Fantastic. The fireplace is the coolest thing I've seen from outdoor survival video's. If the temp. reached 60, or 55 even, and there's no wind inside, that's near miraculous. This video proves hard work and survival skills can keep people alive. Good job.
This is my second time watching this video, it is one of my favorite Corporals Corner builds. The fire pit inside is awesome a person could stay in that build through a blizzard. Just kick back watch some caveman TV wait for the storm to pass. Awesome build
This reminded me of alpine camping digging out 4 feet of snow with a folding shovel and rigging up my "hoochie" That's when I learned to keep my boots in my sleeping bag till morning...learned the hard way that is. Always enjoy every video Shawn.
Retired Recon and Heavy Machine Gunner Marine (0326 & 0331) Good job Devil Dog that is how you get it done , love the Stair-step and sump hole , keep making your Videos and educating the Civilian Population , with everything that is going on in are Country I believe there going to need these skills in the future , if they take the time to learn.... Retired Recon Marine out.....

Man I love your videos! I learn so much from your videos and if I had the money I’d go buy all the stuff you recommend. Keep ‘em coming!
The Marine corps messed up by not making you an officer
When my brother was in high school, he/his friends used to say "safety meeting" when they were about to disappear and smoke pot. Pop smoke, I guess?
Right after this video I went in my kitchen and made that dish. Probably better on open fire but still pretty awesome. I added white cheddar cheese though.

@@donniebrown2896 Didn't start out like that. Hard work pays off.
Dude walks into the forest and pushes a tree over so he can build a shelter next week. Outstanding!
It's the coffee lol, like Popeye has spinach.
I thought he was going to build a clay pizza oven into the fireplace as an encore!
How long did this take to build?
@@dement3djoker I did.
@Allan Bennett I know he SAID it took all day.
I'm a mechanical engineer and the winter indoor design temperature target is 68 degrees. 60 degrees in that underground shelter is outstanding and with a hot meal like that you got it made.
Finally, RUclips recommends something worth watching.
Ikr
No BS , just beautiful scenery and a good story of a guy skillfully building a shelter. We are the new fringe
I don't know who would complain about 50's- 60's. That is the best sleeping weather.
Especially when you got clothes or blankets. Feels like your in your own little cocoon of warmth

Right?? I keep my apartment at 65°
My wife is greek. She complains shes cold when its anything below 75.

I was thinking the same thing! If he moves after a night, it means i can move on after weeks. Well built stuff.
You better be carrying the stars n stripes !
Yep!
basically this.
It’s best to come across it while he’s still there. Because then you have shelter and food.
I find your videos soothing and inspirational. I am 68 years old and preparing for my first overnight in October
Ah yes. Sunday morning. Corporal and coffee. Perfect combination.
yessir
Don't forget the bacon!
Exact same here, only for me it’s Sunday evening.
Corporal...
This was one of your better shelters.
I do miss the overnight part to waking upto coffee time lol
I really like that this video shows how useful a shovel can be. Perhaps I will start carying one.
I'm disabled. I'll never be able to do any of this. But, all knowledge is good, and i can dream. Thanks so much.

Take Care Corp Kelly good to see You doing good (as fudge)
I was concerned about digging in clay about drainage, but you addressed that. This shelter is yet another that is KNOCK OUT, out of the park. I would never have dreamed a secure and heated shelter could be built under the roots of an uprooted tree!!
Every once in a while I come back and rewatch this. It's by far my favorite of all your builds. I'm not sure I'd want to leave after one night
These videos must take an enormous amount of work to film and edit. Not to mention the physical activity itself performing the content. Just amazing.
This is why I like this guy. Basic survival skills presented with a love for his audience. I live in Hawai'i, and if it starts to snow, I'll know what to do. :)
Did I just read that right? If it snows in Hawaii? Has it ever snowed there?
Even big boys like to play in the dirt, LOL! Seriously, another creative shelter made with your own two hands and a lot of elbow grease. We appreciate all the hard work you put into entertaining us, Shawn. Question: Remember the log cabin you were working on just before hunting season? Are you planning to go back to that and finish it like you talked about?
I’m not even a camping person but i love watching these videos.
This is so much better than those prissy boy over priced name brand everything complaining about carrying more than one ounce of equipment on some self inflicted death march kind of video.
Not naming names but there's this one guy who complains about the weight of a knife and it's trying to make it light as paper, meanwhile I was carrying a kukri and I hardly felt it when I carried it (I sence lost it)
Uh, ya!! Cuzz, who wants to see someone walking the Apalacian Trail yet again. If they really wanted to get some "Hiking" done, Head up the old Alaska Highway, since it has been rebuilt, the old highway is left to decay mostly, so its been a good twenty years, I am sure there would be some fun and interesting trails to follow. Not to mention, the thick clouds of no seeums, and black flies, that just simply eat you alive. Peeps may be used to ticks, but a thick cloud of noseeums, and yer done! lemme tellya, those get in even with netting. Unless it is super fine netting. Bet you won't hear of anyone complaining their packs are too heavy on a hike up the Alaska Highway LOL
@@kimlightfoot I rarely encountered any noseeums during my hike on the Alaskan freeway. Probably because I didn't see um. Oh, but the black flies. They were sooooo violent compared to the white ones. Left me scarred. Other than that, it was a very nice week.
@@kimlightfoot there's this hobo guy just done the Alaska highway. Doesn't carry more than a bucket n a pack
@@thecelticprince4949 You must mean Shoe String he is 50 years old and does some amazing videos. Uses his knowledge and experience to survive, and shares real life experiences as they happen.
I am 62, never served in the armed forces but am totally thankful and respect what you did more than anything. I take my hat off to you sir! I’ve camped most all my life, I really enjoy watching Bushcraft videos, your earth shelter is the best by far!
Talk about memories, when I was a kid my buddies and me built an underground fort very similar to that. Not only did we have the exact same type of fireplace, but we even dug most of it with a 'Nam era E Tool like that, LOL. We did eventually scrounge up some scrap tin for a roof. With the fireplace blazing in the winter it could be -20 outside with the wind howling and still nice and toasty inside. Little did our folks know we heated the thing that way for 2 winters before some Karen seen smoke one day and called the cops. That was the end of our awesome hangout.
This is awesome. :)
You never cease to amaze me, what a person can do who has the know how and the physical ability to carry it out; and that in a very cold situation. Job well done sir!
I'm a serving British infantry soldier love watching your videos, stay safe keep them coming Brother.🇬🇧💪🇺🇲
Stay low, move fast.
“Stay low move fast” really make sense,,Thanks
i vouch for Corporal Shawn kelly, to be in next Season of ALONE 👍👍🏻👍
We built these when I was a teen. Thanks for giving me the idea to add a fire place to one.
Nice 👍 video
Thanks!
Things I like about Shawn Kelly and his videos:
They’re informative
They make me laugh
They show just what can be done to be comfortable in the woods
They make me have my own flashbacks on occasion (spent enough wet miserable nights in holes from 1981 to 1995
They always and I mean almost always involve a cup/ pan/pot of brown deliciousness
I learned so much watching this video.
How to make a frame for a tarp
Intentional digging techniques
Intentional dirt placement and distribution
...
Outstanding
How could you not like this video to 501 that didn’t like it. Digging a hole can only be so interesting. It all the little things he did make it comfortable. The fireplace was killer!
Outstanding shelter corporal, here in UK we have alot of fallen trees, everytime I stroll past a fallen tree, I think of corporal's corner, a shovel and bacon dishes
Like many others said, this is probably one of the coolest builds you've done. The treehouse was cool of course, but this one had some... special sauce. You could hide this shelter so well too, very "tacticool". A while back when you made a shelter from that hollow fallen tree, it made me think what you could do with some man-made elements. Like how you would set up a shelter in a derelict car for example. Maybe a Halloween zombie-survival special :D
Never a backhoe around when you need one!
This is the best way to use a fallen tree stump ever! Well done patriot! The Lil Smokies chilli is just the cherry on top! God bless America 🇺🇸
I constantly find myself coming back to this video. One of my favorite shelters you've done. As always, keep up the great content. I look forward to it every weekend.
I've watched it twice so far
Your vids motivated me to get out there with my son and build a shelter of our own i cant believe we slept in it for a nigh. I brought a tent just in case but it was never needed. THANK YOU!
Man, I barely recognized you from watching you about a year ago. People might be interested in a video for this type of overnighter that includes E&E tactics like hiding your presence and smoke, and whatnot. Thanks for putting in all that work.
the ninja wants to hide, who'da thunk it?! lol. it would definitely be cool to learn that stuff great comment!
I love that you’re keeping it fresh. Keep doing you corporal!
That was awesome, I'd never had thought of using an upturned tree for the basis of a shelter. Thank you for your time & sharing this.
Stay safe until the next video ✊🏻
I can't wait for your weekly videos to drop happy AF greetings from the UK.
Thats a awesome shelter, you have a great mind for thinking these up.
When you want to sleep comfy, *and* not have to dive out of your sleeping bag into a separate foxhole when the incoming siren goes off... Looks great, man! :)
Pretty damn nice. Refreshing winter air, yet warm, cozy and out of the elements.
This is the best shelter built by one man in one day. From a poncho. Fantastic. The fireplace is the coolest thing I've seen from outdoor survival video's. If the temp. reached 60, or 55 even, and there's no wind inside, that's near miraculous. This video proves hard work and survival skills can keep people alive. Good job.
First off, thank you for your service! Secondly, I never expected to stay for the whole thing. I am very impressed with how the mass furnace worked!
The whole time you were digging that I was thinking about the clay in my local area. Even when it's wet, it's like digging through stone. Great build!
The RUclips Uncle I always needed
I have to say the chimney was pretty ingenious. Wow, Corporal! Sure you weren’t 12B Combat Engineer?! Another great video. The very best! Bill
Yes great video indeed
Right on Sir! I'd take that hidy hole any day than being outside getting blasted by the weather. Great job!
Haven't built a fort in the woods since childhood, good times. :)
This is my second time watching this video, it is one of my favorite Corporals Corner builds. The fire pit inside is awesome a person could stay in that build through a blizzard. Just kick back watch some caveman TV wait for the storm to pass. Awesome build
5 minutes later, “Hey Corporal, Sarge says saddle up it’s time to move out.”
Oof! Haha rip af
Back to rally point!!
Lmfao.....
The green weenie strikes again
He suks
That is the coolest shelter I believe I have ever seen on RUclips. And an incredible amount of work put into that!!!!
To put it simple, there is nothing you can't do when it comes to the outdoors. I'm always entertained by the products you produce, Shawn.
This gentleman is a true craftsman and artisan. ❤️
This reminded me of alpine camping digging out 4 feet of snow with a folding shovel and rigging up my "hoochie"
That's when I learned to keep my boots in my sleeping bag till morning...learned the hard way that is.
Always enjoy every video Shawn.
Retired Recon and Heavy Machine Gunner Marine (0326 & 0331) Good job Devil Dog that is how you get it done , love the Stair-step and sump hole , keep making your Videos and educating the Civilian Population , with everything that is going on in are Country I believe there going to need these skills in the future , if they take the time to learn....
Retired Recon Marine out.....
Amen🇺🇸👍🏼🙏🏼

Paranoia is never good. Thing have been this way for a long time.
There's a tiny woman in asia, that makes a complete room underground with a roof. It is so detailed.
Your fire underground, is amazing.
And it is on a 30 day time lapse
Those channels are crazy I always try to find track marks on the ground cause they had to have a tractor in there somewhere at least a mini ex
Couldn't wait to see what you had for us this morning. Also love the shirt.
