Outstanding! Always good to learn, hone, and own our skills! Can't wait for you to pick up Little Man and get some more Father and Son time out in the wilderness! Keep up the outstanding work!!

Congratulations on having you're Son come to stay! Outstanding!

Corporal Kelly, I am so very happy for the news that your son is coming home to stay. God bless you both!

Congratulations on getting your son back. Best. News. Ever.

You know why the compass has a mirror. It is not for signaling, it actually is there to show you who is lost. Ha ha good video.

[@BearNecesities1]

I thought it was there to admire that beard

[@mikemcelveen2973]

Damn, my mirror always breaks...sucks being ugly and lost in the woods🤷‍♂️

[@discipleaj]

@clint eastwood 😁 that's because it is 😁👍🏻. Not sure if you're being equally as sarcastic/humorous as the original comment but; you are technically correct - the best kind of correct. 🧐

[@RobertBrown-n6h]

Keep up the good work corporal you and the staff at SRO are the real deal

[@ozarkmountaineer3581]

Your son is coming home to stay? That is so AWESOME!

[@kurtjensen7264]

Learning to use a compass 🧭 is more important than you think folks! So listen to the corporal. It might just save your life one day!

[@michaelaugustine6652]

One of the reasons your videos are outstanding is because you take topics that can be confusing or difficult and break them down into easy to understand pieces. Your channel is one of the best for learning outdoor skills!

[@theodoreroosevelt78]

That's great about your son. Congratulations...I know to me, being a dad is the best thing ever.

[@doubled3983]

Hello from Oklahoma! Good Video! If you've ever been lost in the woods, you'll wish you'd paid attention. I learned all this back in the 70's while in the real boyscouts. I was an Eagle Scout. You cannot rely on your compass if you put it on a rock or if its close to a metal object, knife, gun, zipper, necklace, ring, etc.While hunting I've been turned around more than once. This knowledge let me get back to camp or close to it every time. Thanks for all You Do! Once again Good Video!👍👍👍 God Bless!

[@elusive1003]

Awesome news to hear your boy is coming to stay! Looking forward to seeing his growth in new videos!

[@strongbear9304]

WHERE'S THE BACON? CONGRATULATIONS ON GETTING YOUR SON !!!!!!

Am looking forward to seeing him progress and grow under your tutelage as a a Dad , Friend and Instructor. Be Safe in your Travels to the Left Coast! and back to the Eastern Woodlands. Doc Bates

[@OtherThanIntendedPurpose]

I am glad you are going to get your son full time. as a father, I know how important it is to spend time with your kid. my son is now 23 years old, and we still try to spend as much time in the woods together as we can. he's really grown into a good young man. I believe the woods time is in part has helped our friendship. not only are you giving him skills he can use for ever, you are building his memories of good times with Dad. excellent job.

Thanks for doing this video. Looking forward to all the other skills you want to teach, especially knots. Ignore any negative comments. These are skills we all should have been taught as children and you are offering a solution to our ignorance.

It says volumes of your character that your son is coming to live with you. Most men would not put themselves out there like that. Total respect to you. As usual an outstanding job. Looking forward to seeing you and your son continue your journey. You’re a great dad.

[@jasongarling20]

I've watched all your videos for years. But it's great for you to do these for multiple reasons. ALWAYS good to have a quick refreshers and also for the new people just getting into it, where you can direct them to your more in depth videos. The two most difficult things to engrain into my mind are the map, compass, and ranger beads while traversing up and down steep terrains. And the second is learning the knots... Even though I was taught them both at a young age in boy scouts, the teachers never clicked with my style of learning. I do understand your style of teaching....as crazy as that may seem. Everyone learns differently. And I am so happy that you will now have your son with you and away from the left west coast! Absolutely OUTSTANDING AF! CONGRATULATIONS!

Hell yeah the big man is coming back congratulations I'm happy af great video and great tips thank you

I'm going to practice in my neighborhood walking down the streets until I've got it down tight. Thank you for sharing this knowledge.

[@tonyguerra1273]

I'm always amazed at the stories of people who go hiking out in the wild without carrying even a very basic compass. And then they literally lose their bearings and can't regain them. And that's when it becomes a game of life or death that many tragically lose.

[@opalprestonshirley1700]

Good tips and tricks. Great news about your son. Stay safe.

Thanks for the compass vid, short, sweet and good! I know you're excited about getting your son, I've really enjoyed the videos with him. Safe travels.

I just watched Dave Canterbury's video about compasses last night. Maybe I'm being told subliminally to use the compass. I got the notification via email, too. Thanks!

Leapfrogging, the reason we wore cateyes on our covers for nighttime navigation. Short, sweet and to the point with no nonsense. Another outstanding video. Glad that you are going to have your son around. Got to spend some woods time with mine last week.

[@mrwes100]

Great to see John coming home permanently. 👊

[@brian4984]

My tip: I keep a non-magnetic whistle on my Suunto MC2 lanyard so I have visual and auditory signaling options all in one. I love nav tips. Books, videos, magazine articles about are some of my favorite outdoorsy things to learn about.

[@jerryguerra348]

Good to hear your getting your son for good. Our prayers to you and your family.

[@kentfreier5705]

I bought one. Love it. Love the old school ways. And, if worse comes to worse, you can eat that compass if you have enough bacon to put on it!

I have learned how to use my compass thanks to you Corporal Kelly

[@tomluck9455]

Congratulations about you and your son, as you would say outstanding

[@alexanderweaver4838]

Great news on your son. I don't know if he's going to follow in your footsteps (figuratively speaking) but he's going to be a well-trained young man. A great asset for any team. This was another tutorial and more notes to write in my composition book of Corporals Corner lessons. I was just out this morning practicing using my Suunto MC2 and the Ranger beads. Besides the colorful (bright orange) way point marker, I carry a small roll of aluminum foil streamer that I use in my garden; supposedly to scare birds away, keep them from eating newly planted seeds. The foil glistens and helps when I do the 90 degree traversing around a lake or other obstacle and I don't want to return to retrieve the way marker. If one direction is a bust I use the foil markers to return to my original position. Although it adds weight to my pack I like carrying either a monocular telescope or a small pair of binoculars. What?! No bacon in this video? For my breakfast I made bacon in flour tortilla wraps with strawberry jam from those Denny's packets.

[@gasher83]

Funny enough I had just watched this series of videos a few weeks ago. I like the addition of the leap frog method that you and your son included. Thanks for the great uploads and continued schedule. Safe trip to the Left Coast.

So glad U and Lil Big Man are building on ur relationship...It's so important!! OUTSTANDING!!

That is one nice compass. Certainly beats my cheap Walmart folding pocket compass. I am glad you are getting your son. I am certain you are extremely happy with that! Thank You, sir, for teaching us. I truly appreciate your efforts.

Did I hear you right in the beginning of the video you are going to get your son for good? That is fantastic I can tell you as a father for that children need their fathers! Congratulations Corporal Kelly I look forward to seeing more videos of you and that fine young man take care brother! Oh by the way I did enjoy the video I need to watch it again and again to learn my compass😁😁

Hi Shawn, that's great news that you son will be coming home with you to stay, happy for you! Thanks for the great tips on navigation. I bought a book on learning the compass and navigation and it read like a stereo manual..Happy Belated National Bacon Day which was this past Saturday. 👍🥓

This was a great demonstration! You may have surpassed yourself as I finally really get the point of holding your compass at arm's length. My training now feels complete, thanks to you Corporal Bosley. Great news on medium/large dude coming back or good.

[@CommanderBacon64]

So glad to hear that your son is going to stay with you!!! that is OUTSTANDING news!!!

[@eturnerx]

Our bush is thick so we often count box side-steps too. And, if leapfrogging often the moving person can go right past the landmarker if that person has an azimuth ready to guide them back on track. Gives more options for moving through rough ground. Though, last landnav course I wore neutral colors and had a camo backpack so was hard for my partner to see. Next time I'll carry something blaze orange.
