DIY Ultralight Pocket Fishing Kit, Stow It Anywhere!

[@marksmith813]

A metal cigar tube works well for this as well!

A bag under the lid keeps it waterproof too

[@jasminepina9058]

Dang genius tip

[@benjaminm.9700]

This channel is packed full of useful and entertaining videos. This guy is as much an artist as he is an instructor. These videos would still be relavent 100 years from now. I've seen a LOT of survival/bushcraft/camping videos, this channel is a cut above the rest.

[@daphneraven9439]

Amen!

[@jamesmuth6822]

Love the introduction of these new knots. Another great video, as always!

[@VegaChastain]

I appreciate you taking the time to slow - pan over the 'nature' shots. Some youtubers will be in the most beautiful places on earth and they'll pan over the scenery way too fast!! Love this channel!!

[@jfsinc]

Loved this project. Made one out of pvc a few years ago. Went to a bike shop and asked if they had any old throw away tubes. Got it free. As usual I over thought my project. Love the utter simplicity of your fishing kit. Rock on sir.

[@AFizz-cw3on]

I did the same with pvc.

This is the best hobbo fishing reel i have seen yet. With a quality braid fishing line and the amount of terminal tackle that will hold, never go hungry.

[@intricateinc8566]

Watching recommended videos, commenting and liking. Holy sh*t I have been down the Corporals Corner rabbit hole for weeks and I am about to be in a local park dug in 3 feet deep by the swing set with a rocket stove cooking bacon yelling at the kids to be quiet while I eat.

We just made a few of these and WOW!!!! How easy! We live right on the Animas River here in Durango Colorado and will be taking one of these on our evening walks. By far one of the cooler ideas I've seen!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@andrewm.2720]

That was a great simplified Hobo reel . I have a disability which makes it hard to do some bush craft projects . So thank you for looking outside the box and helping people like myself.

[@jeffreymchoul]

...fantastic project for just about any age. I intend to share this with all levels of the Scouts that I serve, as well as make at least two for myself. I especially love your use of the Matthew Walker knot. It is one of my favorites, and I use it as a lanyard knot most of the time that I need an end knot. Another great video. Thanks for sharing knowledge and your willingness to teach others...

[@jonathanflowers6353]

Thank you for another great video with simple and easy to understand tutorial on how to make yet another great tool for use in the outdoors. Awesome video !

[@71goaliemask]

Backtracking through videos, this is a gem.

[@judiehavard4903]

Great fishing spot. And loved the pocket kit. Judging by comments there are a lot of kids that never went fishing with small kit like that. Sat on a pier many times as a kid fishing and crabbing with an old scrap piece of chicken.😎

[@JoeXTheXJuggalo1]

Yeah exactly. I remember when I was young my friends and I used to get sticks, tie small amount of fishing line to it, put a hook on it, dig up some worms, and walk in the woods to our favorite fishing holes like this. Good times, good times, and fun memories.

[@jenniferwalpole8144]

Thank you for showing how to tie these knots slowly and close up!! I’ve learned how to tie all these knots thank to you! :-)

[@joseavalos1534]

I like this guy. No bs straight to the point.

[@patnd5c68]

*very* clever and incredibly creative. I love DIY projects, even if I don't ever have the intention of building something myself. Just like so many other survival and "prepper" presentations, what I truly like is the "MacGuyver" aspect of it all... taking something and turning it into something else that it ain't.

[@dlighted8861]

I was looking at that line flare on the front of your hobo rod and it occured to me some flashlights have a flare like that on the front. Went to the thrift store and checked through their flashlights. Found the one with the best curve on the flare. Picked up the perfect "rod" for a buck. Gutted the insides and have a nice kit compartment. It has to be tested out for cast but looks great. 🤗 Thanks for the idea.😀

[@datatech2001]

That's a nice fishing kit. Will definitely be making me 1.

Oh! Love this little project! If I substitute an empty long tube of mini-M&M's then I have all the pieces to this! Super cool!

Thought I had enough rod & reels. Well I do but I need this lifesaver one too. Thank you so much, your survival videos are top notch!

[@backwoodsbushcraftingbaffo9400]

Cool build for sure! For the line I would definitely recommend Power Pro braid! It's super tough, has low memory, and works great as a thread alternative for both cloth and leather stitching! It's great stuff!

[@nooblet1322]

I don't comment very often, but this is REALLY cool! I'm going to try it

[@miguelpimentel8539]

You really have great ideas and you take time to show knot making simple ideas that can sustain life

[@walterpalmer2749]

Clever idea and really organized. Happy Father's Day. Salute.

[@LShapedAmbush]

I really like the knots for the wrist lanyard. I use lanyards like that a lot and have always just tied overhand knots. But the snake knot and Walker knot are more elegant.

[@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234]

Looks like a go. Thanks and take care.

[@spudboy2865]

the snake knot he tied is actually a bowline knot. once you start repeating it, then it becomes a snake knot

[@LShapedAmbush]

@@spudboy2865 I don't agree. With a bowline, you bring the tag end up through the bight, around the standing end and down through the bight again . Remember the old mnemonic: "The rabbit comes out of the hole, around the tree and back into the hole." In the video, he puts the tag end down through the bight from the top, around the standing end and back up out of the bight. So , the rabbit is going down in the hole instead of coming out. Tie it both ways with two pieces of cord and you will have two different knots. Very similar to a bowline and it doesn't seem slip either.

[@spudboy2865]

@@LShapedAmbush After replaying it you are correct. I didn't notice he had gone through the hole from the same direction both times when I first watched the video.

[@centexpatriot2709]

Saw the items to build this kit on your Amazon page a few days ago and I have been waiting for this video! Outstanding!

[@Prodigalson0078]

You're good corporal. Thanks for the knowledge that we gain from your videos.

[@iantusa9207]

Omg! I just did this after watching your hobo reel video. Minus the inner tube. I have several now. It feels so good to be ahead of the community videos for a chance. I used a roll of 1” gorilla tape to hold the spool of line on, then you also have some emergency tape.

[@flusterbaited_fishing]

I like it!!! Great improvised kit! You can never know too many knots, thanks as always and thanks for budget minded videos! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

[@rclement2701]

Used what I learned from your video to cheat lol. Had a very old "survival" knife with the hollowed handle and cheap compass that I unscrewed the blade. Was already wrapped in cord and had a lanyard hole. Plugged the hole with a screw then put hooks, line, weights, and floats in the handle. Went from useless cheap knife to great hobo fishing kit. The plus is the compass does work, so have a backup compass.

[@bushcraft2012]

OUTSTANDING...great video... excellent hack. I've made a similar Pocket fishing kit utilizing a travel toothbrush case.

[@MokuNui808]

Another idea could be, using the bead tube wrapped in gorilla tape and then wrapped in beeswax coated hemp line and then inside the tube you can place tinder tabs, ferro rod with striker, and some stormproof matches or a mini bic and now you have a pocket fire kit!!!

[@shawnr771]

Excellent No nonsense. Descriptions OUTSTANDING. Knot tying video OUTSTANDING. One of the best knot instructors ever. Easy to follow for everybody. Crystal clear instructions and video. You could also use 1 inch PVC pipe with a glued on internal fitting cap for the throw end. Might have to sand the hexagon down to round. And a screw on cap for the handle end. For the grip rubber heat shrink tubing would also work great. Place it on the tube and very lightly heat it. The shrink tubing would really pull down tight. I like that stuff. Heat shrinked a couple of pliers handles that had peeled off works as good as the original. For holding the line on a heavy duty rubber band would work well. It is what we used to use to keep the line on the spool after opening the package.

I have a hollow handle survival knife 🔪 that’s got multiple functions.

I think it’s a cool set up.

[@johnevans5782]

I really like the idea. As always your videos are very helpful. One thing though. While you show how to make the reel, you do not show how to use it properly. Yes we can see you using it somewhat, but for myself I have not used this kind of reel, and would not know how to properly cast with it and actually safely use it. I think that this would make a good short video in the future. I know it would help me. Thanks for all you do! S!

[@DaveMarkowitz]

Another great video, Shawn. Something you touched on in the video could be the genesis of a video series for you: carving skills. Specifically, different kinds of cuts, when you'd use them, recommended tools, etc. Mora knives are good quality but inexpensive enough for almost anyone to afford so would be good choices for the carving tools.

[@johngiesemann5293]

What if you left the rubber sleeve a little longer than the tube so you could pull it back up to secure the line? This would help prevent loosing the small rubber sleeve that secures the line. Also, what do you suggest storing inside the tube?

[@noone-bt3pl]

The line will get tangled when you cast it

[@terrijordan5736]

My brother made a bunch of these and at our family cookout we each got one-when he was showing me, I said, I saw one of those on KZbin-Corporal’s Corner-his eyes got big and he said -yes, that’s where I got the idea! He forgot he had me sub you quite a while ago! LOL.

Just curious could you spool it up on a small sewing thread spool feed it into the hole at the bottom of the tube and have it all internal?

[@javierrodriguez2863]

I did mine on sewing machine bobbin, it works

[@southernwanderer7912]

I'm glad you considered the fact that people don't have the money, skill or tools to do some projects. I like this project more than the carved fishing kit because I don't have the tools or skill for that. I can actually do this. One thing I do need to study and practice is knot making. By the way, what was the plant you showed that looked sort of like a dandelion. I think I have that growing in my yard and have never found out what it is. Mine isn't dandelion because it has multiple flowers/seed heads and is branched while a dandelion only has one flower/seed head.

[@KeltikSkye]

It's usually just called a giant dandelion, but it's "official" name is Taraxacum.
