Good that you were able to harvest a "survival sirloin".

[@WD-zk6fg]

One does not simply harvest sirloin. I am impressed.

[@decimalexercise7154]

I always keep 10-12 survival sirloins on me at all times. You just never know.

[@RalphReagan]

That beef is so good looking

[@tom_olofsson]

Brian Landers So, everyone who serves needs to prove themselves to you? How about you go troll somewhere else.

[@goldilox369]

@@tom_olofsson thanks for getting there before me.

[@robertanderson6929]

The one "comfort" item I've always carried and rarely see is a simple 12" x 16" piece of plastic tarp with a grommet in each corner. I use this ALL the time just to have a clean workplace. Whether it be to lay out my first aid kit while treating a wound or as my kitchen table to sit food and utensils on to keep them out of the mud this little rectangle of "clean space" is wonderful. The grommets give me a way to fold over the edges and secure them but they also serve as stake points in a strong wind or to hang it up to dry. It rolls up secured by a small piece of paracord and weighs next to nothing.

[@MrSheckstr]

So, thought I would add a little story from my childhood. One summer during a Cub Scout camping trip we had a World War ONE marine veteran come out. And he Talked about how every time since the war he went camping the only thing he took to cook, eat, and drink with was a 20oz soup ladle he stole from the Cooks during the War and a piece of steel he had forged into a spork on one end , a knife on the other end and welded a bottle opener and can piercer onto the handle. He then showed us how to cook all sorts of things in the ladle, brew coffee or tea in it, boil and cool drinking water, roast meats using the handle as a spit and even transfer a coal from one fire and walk a long distance (mile or more) keeping that coal alive and hot enough to start a fresh fire elsewhere. He claimed in his youth he could swim a coal across a lake and start a roaring fire on the other bank before he ever felt a chill To this day whenever I go back packing I use a ladle in the same way he did to cook my micro meals and teach kids how to cook with a ladle. Thought you would enjoy the secondhand story of a Marine’s Experience in the FIRST World War

[@TheSurviver72]

Cool story, bro. Just shows what you can do with minimal gear and a little ingenuity. 👍☺

[@gr-zb8ey]

Make a video, pass it on.

[@petethebastard]

Post it!

[@tonybarnett1158]

Phenomenal story. All us older vets(I'm 52) should share our knowledge and encourage youth to experience the wild. You never know when you may be forced into a survival scenario. I take short trips and long trips in all conditions. As a general rule, I have a 6 month minimum survival plan in place with gear and then raw survival after as needed. No matter how good you are: always be open to the ideas of others. I was Infantry, "Follow Me" but sometimes another may be the squad leader.

[@alcodie1558]

Comfort items are 95 % moral booster , so ya if you're in a survival situation might as well be happy : )

[@albertalbert4333]

What sets your videos aside from others is this. Your not gabby. Concise and to the point. Info is solid. And the products are tested.

[@medivedowncc]

Another "Over The Top" video! Im like a "Hawk" watching for these tips and tools videos that you put out! Keep'em comin! I have learned alot of valuable mind sets and skills watching you and the other path finder crew at work. Keep up the excellent work my friend.

[@billboyd2009]

A pack of playing cards. Regardless of how far you are from anywhere, if you play a game of soltaire, someone else will tap you on shoulder and tell you to put the 6 on the 7!

[@zipt1307]

Old school is cool. No backround music is cool. I dig your calm no drama approach, I subbed a month ago and enjoy watching all the older videos. Good to go.

[@etnrutledge8461]

The chair idea is great. I have a bunch of scrap leather. I’m gonna make one of those.

[@lyco.woodsrunner5826]

I was at a bushcraft gathering of about 150 people a couple of weeks ago and heard your name mentioned at least a dozen times in casual conversation. And no, it wasn't Wowak busting on you...😀 Anyway keep up the good work! People like what you are doing.

[@EvieVermont]

First of all, your videos are awesome. You give GOOD survival info (and as an outdoor educator, I can tell you, I appreciate it) and you give it to us straight. No nonsense. You talk about things, SHOW them, then usually demonstrate how to use them. This is the best way to teach almost anything. You are a true experiential educator and you are VERY GOOD at it. Obviously, you’ve been military trained. And some of us know that Upward Bound was started to train sailors to survive the rigors of shipwrecks, falling overboard, etc. how to not only PHYSICALLY survive otherwise perilous environs, but to mentally survive them. And, you do such a great job; you are my favorite survival expert. Well done!

[@jamesmcclain9205]

i want to take this opportunity to thank you for helping me rehabilitate some misguided youths , we use you as inspiration to focus the attention and give a new appreciation for a self reliant mindset instead of an entitled one . we look forward to fridays when i get off my second job as bushcraft time . its like you are our scoutmaster and we are stewards of our needs . thank you so much , you are valued and appreciated . thank you for your service and for helping the youths that will inherit the world we all live in . much respect .

[@MisSorryforthespam]

Great picks. Absolutely agree with the portable grill mesh. I ordered one like that but with collapsable 6" legs a while back, love it! much better than traveling with metal pans. Now they sell them in Walmart. My next favorite comfort item for just camping is the REI Flexlite Air Chair, I got used. It's very small and light. Perfect for being lazy in during bad weather setups.

[@mlsknnr]

I have to agree, it's always nice to have a few creature comforts wherever you are and they can be different for everyone. They not only can help keep your spirits up but can bring a calm to a stressful situation so that you can refocus and put your thoughts in order. Another excellent video.

[@TonyTooTuff]

Just watched a few others top 5 comfort items. It’s cool to see each personality’s choice in what they call comfort items.

[@luisalmeida777]

Cool video, really like that stool idea! Ahhh, yes, Confort, the 11th C...!

[@oldquestant6-238]

Good to see that you do make room for optional items, especially for people new to this type of experience. We all know that these will vary from one person's pack to another. It is important and in keeping with your attention to details that you point out that even the Corporal exercises options. Well done again marine. I wouldn't expect less than the best from you. As always looking forward to your next video.

[@leroychan4940]

Love all your videos! I really appreciate what you do, some things I know but you always make it better by reaffirming or having a new gadget that I didn’t know existed! I hope to see you “out there” 🙏🏻

[@ericn410]

I’m liking the info. Your verbal communication is excellent . The equipment usage and proper procedure gives confidence to all, you make Survivability a chance for those who have had none ,keep up the good work soldier on.

[@sheryldavis1146]

Your channel has had me hooked since day 1 of Level 4 lockdown in NZ. First weekend of Level 2 I'm foraging in surplus and camping stores looking at gear and practicing knots with grandchildren. Really appreciate the time it takes to put all these videos together- I'm not too fussed about metrics / imperial measurements cos that's what Aunty google is for!

[@stevepiccoli3652]

Great video as always... comfort n convenience is always a beautiful thing... especially when you're getting up there in the years and still out there making it happen !

[@shawnr771]

Good additions to your kit. I like the water purifier bottle. I carry a Sawyer mini and yes if the water is questionable, I will use it. One thing I added to my bag is one of those hunting camo nets. I think 6x8. I bought on the discount rack at the end of hunting season for 5 dollars. Works great as a mosquito net. Not having mosquitos buzzing my ear at night is a good thing. Also if good for camoflaging the camp or yourself. Never forget personal hygiene items. Simple things like brushing your teeth, shaving, and a clean t shirt and a pair of socks can change your outlook on life.

[@GrumpyGrunt]

I can hear the DI voice in my head screaming, "What are you doing with that cover in "locked" position, Corporal Kelly?!?!?" 🤣 S/F

[@caribecastaway6447]

The biggest comfort item I saw in the video was that generously portioned rib eye cooked on an open flame. OUTSTANDING! Stuffed mushroom caps as a side. Not roughing it too much today? Of course that is brought to you by the cooking grate. That's right on time. I just started looking for a stainless cooking grate. Thanks for the video. Excellent as always.

[@Gladtobeleaving]

I had the same thought; if that was always dinner, I wouldn't have as much a problem convincing my family to prep.

[@patron40silver]

My #1 survival comfort item is a FLESHLIGHT.

[@Jason-bd5iq]

Is that a comfort item or a necessity?

[@survivalofthefittest409]

🤫😂😂

[@kratoseus309]

I like that in your newer videos you’re showing your humor! Keep it up brother

[@shadomane]

Nice gear. I especially liked the stool, grill and filter. Thanks for the video Shawn and for doing the dirt time and research.

[@jerryp3913]

Definitely got a kick out of the Camp Crystal Lake shirt while making an "OVER THE TOP" reference! OUTSTANDING!! 😂🤣😂

[@DOUBLETAP-xc8qu]

Winner takes it all. Nice reference, good flick. I really appreciate you going over things like the tripod lash that you've covered before because not everyone has been here from the get go.

[@samwilson2797]

Like that camp stool, I have used a trimmed off piece of a foam camping pad to sit on, I was sitting on the ground, but not in the dirt and a little cleaner and not as cold. A lot of neat items, thanks.

[@stevec5657]

I love it when even your older videos pop up in my feed. This one was cool 👍

[@kevinroberts361]

I always enjoy your helpful info sir ! I am an adventure dirt bike rider / camper, I love watching bush craft / survivor channels like yours. Thank you for your service! Peace Bro

[@brianslocum5159]

Great video! Love the lantern! That's the best backpacking lantern I've seen yet.

[@henrydaubresse9652]

Slip 3 or 4 knee-high nylons over the outer case of your Grayl, then slip them off and put one inside (wrapping over at the top) before dipping up water. These pre-filter any particulates like bark, leaves, etc. and makes the Grayl's filter last longer. It also pads the Grayl eliminating the rattle if you carry your Grayl inside a Stanley Cook Pot.

[@jimiglazier9731]

Comfort items! Was just thinking of that this past week because I haven’t broken my first over night in the woods vCard and plan to do so this weekend. They say bring comfort items and it’s okay to overpack the first time. Felt weird about my msr guardian water filter because it wasn’t 10cs. I’m finding knee pads are my outdoors chair right now because I can plumbers vice wood better. I cook steak on the embers with curry powder/salt rub and omg is that m’mm good. I never know where to put my steak when it’s done other than a bandana which makes cutting a surgical job. But hey, I’m training even when it’s raining at least once a week.

[@MichaelR58]

Thanks for sharing, great options , I like the camp stool , grill , I have a Grayl , never seen that lantern or the mess kit before, God bless !

[@hypo345]

So much learnt from your videos. Been reaserching water purifiers and this one escaped me, this looks like the perfect solution that I have been looking for. Ordered one.

[@phucyu8428]

Cool points awarded for the Camp Crystal Lake shirt

[@piccolosan19]

Grayl grill knife canteen and steak are all the comfort I need and maybe a torch and emergency light good choices in your vids very rounded

[@m.-c.obermeier8351]

I like your puristic style to explain your used gear. As a former german "sergeant" I can absolutely recommend to carry some "comfort items".

[@Cetok01]

I love the Grayl; I generally pre-filter with a handkerchief to extend the life of the filter. It also take out many chemicals, which boiling won't do (might get some sales in New Palestine. I think it's the perfect filter for E & E. I like the UCO dish set, but I prefer dishes I can also cook in; double the duty with half the equipment. I always enjoy your videos, Shawn, especially the makeshift shelters...and your meals. Keep up the great work.

[@bodhi7945]

I've had a Grayl since their kickstarter days. It works, it's simple and it's reliable. Does my heart good to see someone like yourself using it as well.

[@enigmathegrayman2953]

0:39 love that Over The Top reference! 👍🏿

[@JustInCases72]

I also carry a folding saw in my kits. Makes things a lot easier either the Bachco or the silky one or the other is in every kit that o have. Great comfort item.

[@redsorgum]

All of these items are excellent choices. Last time I went camping, I brought a three legged portable chair. I’m so glad I brought it. It’s amazing how comfortable those chairs really are.

[@St0rmrider73]

Great Lincoln Hawk reference and as always excellent video brother. Keep up the great work.

[@BBQDad463]

Another OUTSTANDING video! I loved the "Over The Top" reference. I definitely need to get one of those camp stools. Thanks for this video. ☺

[@ExtremeDuty12]

Lol loved the Over the Top reference. Awesome! Great video CPL,

[@gagetman69jeffhebert32]

awesome i had already picked up that grill and love it and the water purifier is already on my list from your other video lol thx for sharing great stuff as always

[@BigRed-oi6ky]

This has been a legitimate great channel since day one. Thanks for not changing. Over the top lol

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

love the pouch for the grill, (nothing to stop you having a steak during a conflict), cheers buddy love watching your uploads!

[@pebbleinyoshoe532]

Dude long time follower, you are hilarious. I laughed so hard when you where educating us on what you like to do with the hat !!

[@derekvanbuskirk2269]

Over the Top is one of my favorite movies. Well done!

[@mmiadragonz]

That shirt is the best. I was at that camp for many summers. I was part of the boy scouts troop54. We did camp glen gray for years! I learned so much...and I was there in the 80s. Lol....I'm 41 now and I'm still hard-core camping and fishing nut.

[@ladeda7033]

Good teaching demo. I used to make things like that all the time as a kid who ran the hills. Out of customized necessity. Good video.

[@N0body247]

Thanks for the short list..That stool seat looks awesome.. too bad its sold out.. well ill have to keep my eye on it.

[@CommanderBacon64]

Comfort items help with the mental part of a true survival situation. Outstanding video CPL Kelly!!!

[@firstbloodbushcraft8354]

Love the “over the top” quote... just like Stallone lol another great video. Thanks

[@stevegermond939]

Very informative video brother. Your channel is my go to for all things self reliance.

[@chrismiscellaneous]

This was Over the Top lol nice video I'm late to the party here but I've seen several of your videos today and its great content

[@oldgoat8861]

Grayle Water Purifier.....I just bought one 2 months ago. I use it on my short hikes, and absolutely love it. Yes weight, but super simple "purified water" on the go (Orange filters). Sawyer aren't purifiers, the Grayle is. Another great Video Corporal !!!

[@stevensonstevens6791]

I've learned a lot from you, Corporal. Thanks for your efforts. And Merry Christmas!

[@danielahbleza1303]

Watched several vids b4 subscribing. You teach the same way I learned (way back when). Always glad to get the refreshers from an expert. Lead the way...

[@jamessotherden5909]

Love that tripod stool. Now I need to get some canvass and make one. I will check out that Grayl system also. Thanks for the video.

[@craft-o-matic2377]

I'm a survival newbie I guess you could say, and I have seen so many of you fellas whip out some meat and cook it while camping/bushcraft camping. What do you use to keep the meat at a safe holding temperature? I am a new subscriber to your channel Corporal. I find your videos very helpful and no nonsense. I find myself looking forward to your new videos as I occasionally have time to do a little binge watching. Thank you for what you are doing. I appreciate it and, I thank you also for your service. Lisa

[@typhon800]

I keep some rubber bands around my geopress to attach my bandana as a prefilter. Keep that filter clog free.

[@DonnieBigBucks]

Camp Crystal Lake, lol, nice! Great gear reviews, man, thanks. That ribeye looks legitimate:)

[@Wdstroud]

Those are some great comfort items. I particularly like the camp stool. Thank you.

[@andrewwright01]

OUTSTANDING as always CPL. I wish I had one of those stools when I was in the Army. It looks a lot more comfortable than sitting on the steel pot or K-pot. Going to be getting me one of those. Thanks again for your time and effort. RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!!

[@aljones238]

Love the shirt! Another great video. Thank you. Keep em comming.

[@carmencolon5647]

awesome, I'm learning alot on your channel planning a camping trip will be using many of your techniques, loved the lamp and grill prices were reasonable 👍

[@Grissom_Online_Barber_School]

I would like to second on the amazingness of the Grayl. I've used multiple other purifiers, pump filters, squeeze filters, etc, and the Grayl not only is rapidly fast, but extremely durable, the filters are cheap, and the size/weight is great for backpacking trips of all types.

[@bloodstriper3649]

Good showing. I'm impressed with the water purifier. I also rely on some comfort items such as an inflatable pillow and an MSR Dragonfly to name a couple. I've never seen the Possum stool, good deal!

[@dogbite082]

Camp crystal lake T-shirt!!! Lol love it!

[@mattalbright180]

Thanks for sharing Sir, it was a pleasure meeting you over the weekend. I enjoy these cheat items in the woods, since every time i go out it's for enjoyment, not for survival... practicing skills we might use in survival is great but not my main focus when I'm out in it. Thanks again for all you do and you have another subscriber for sure!!! Oh btw, nice shirt, I think you could take out Jason!

[@3BLADZ]

I love my Fenix CL 09 lantern. It has red and green lamp source as well as 200 lumin white. It also has a tail magnet. It’s powered by a cr123 and is super light and compact.

[@lisaray6493]

Sawyer squeeze for me, but I agree on the UCO lanter. I backpack w/ a hammock. Sweet little hanging light.

[@brucesmith8665]

I'm also a Sawyer Squeeze fan, and I consider water purification to be one of the 10 essentials, not a comfort item. For me boiling is a back up, not a primary method. I agree, lantern looks good.

[@journeyman7189]

Good stuff, That grill is a nice size. Nice Over the Top reference Nate

[@geneschindler9537]

Corporal af you are a good teacher, by watching your videos 👍 I finally got the bow drill to get a amber and put in the nest I made I got fire going 🤩🥳👍👍👍

[@jackdavis5622]

Bought a Grayl after watching your reviews and used it all last summer. Great piece of kit! Got an Uco Sprout for Christmas and anxious to try it out. Thanks for good gear reviews.

[@Zawfee]

I almost funded the grayl on Kickstarter but didn't have the money to do so at the time glad to see you praise it. I'll definitely have to get some.

[@MrJohnnycearley]

Those are awesome items. I'm adding some to my gear. Excellent video!!!

[@lanecountybigfooters5716]

I like the stool and the lantern. Possibly the Grayl. On my list! Thanks for the review. Cheers!

[@jasondavis741]

My comfort item is a $6.00 flea and tick collar. Put it around your boot. Lasts 7 to 8 months. Also helps against chiggers. You're welcome.

[@bagochipsmusic5687]

Your videos are always awesome, but your shirt in this video is the best!

[@miken7629]

My favorite comfort item backpacking is a bar-b-que fork I bought at Walmart.for $1. I prop it up with a rock and angle it over a fire. I cook steak, pork country style ribs, pork belly, sausage, hot dogs, and spam with it. After eating, I stick the fork end in the fire to purify it.

[@transylvanianbushcraft1936]

Great video, as alk of them! I've made myelf such a grill lije that, with folding legs.It is very useful👍 All the best C.C!!

[@The_Crow_Flies]

that mini lantern is awesome. I am going to get one of those GRAYL's too they seem really nice.

[@walterpalmer2749]

that stool cover is a nice addition and negligible in weight and inconvenience. Add to my want list. Great video. I've got the Grayl Geopress as back up to my Katadyn filter and life straws. Water purification- all important Thanks.

[@evilfluff6634]

That little light can help you find your cold camp at night by leaving it on in camp

[@challenger2ultralightadventure]

If you consider the psychological benefit that a comfort items provide, it's almost as important as the 10 C's. As usual, outstanding presentation. Cheers from Winnipeg.

[@IrishEagIe]

I really like the Thermarest compressible pillow (imo the best camp pillow) & a couple of hand warmers. Warmers are the best when you're hunkered down in your bed, just slip em' into your socks and a toasty night's sleep is assured.
