Shawn, I've been watching your videos for some time now. I'm a 71 year old widow lady and last week went on my first camping trip in quite a few years. I atook the advice from all the fear mongers and the well meaning officials to put at least six feet between me and others -- wel , you couldn't see from out site to the next. So I velieve I was safe. The trip was a cross between "glamping" and "primitive". Erected a tarp shelter in a state park with just a picnic table and fire ring. The glamping part was that I took a cot with me. The weather was great and I felt comfortable with only one wall and a roof. Thanks so much for the tips and info. This will not be the last trip

[@TheRaindancer10]

Look for a ladies only group that does outdoor adventures. Find a experienced partner in crime...plan ...implement...basic survival is not that hard.

[@tcc187620]

Being a recent R-BTK Amputee I'll soon be relearning how to carry my 45 to 50 pound back pack through the woods again. It will not be easy. But I will do it if it kills me trying. I will fall. But I shall once again rise, and continue forward one step at a time. When you stated that a 5 day pack should weigh about 30 pounds, I thought you were kidding me/us, but then having asked around I find that I might have been over packing ie. non required items, so I now have to reevaluate my choices. Maybe it just comes down to what each person feels that they require. And yes, that color on the tent: "Hell to the no".

[@wolfdendrones8640]

The ribbed joke was awesome!

[@jasonbabila6006]

Olive drab would be great, that bright green sticks out like a sore thumb.

You remind me so much of my Bestest Bud Bill, he passed a year ago last month. He was a Marine, and I served in the Army-SF. We were at each other all the time about who was the best. You are and act just like he did. I really enjoy your videos, and always reflect back on Bill. Hope you don't mind the comparison of you two, I guess his old saying of "Once a Marine. always a Marine. Thanks for helping me reflect back on the good times of my life!

[@tk00903]

[@teamscreem]

Excellent use of bacon to hold the pancake together.

[@shineyrocks390]

One last thing before I go. Random thought but wanted to say thank you Corporal for your service. I'm glad you are making these videos and have been showing us how to stay alive in a fubr situation and or just a simple overnight camping trip. Last year I was flooded out of my camp in a flash flood but if I had not known your Ridgeline and how fast and simple it made it for me to break camp and haul ass out, still saving all of my gear. Not one piece washed away. I had minutes to move and I hardly made it. What counts is I made all because of the videos you produced on Ridgeline knots hitches and basic shelters. So in a sense you saved my life. I pay attention to what you teach. I was planning on being at the school but now this crap happened. I can't say I didn't see it coming. I was prepared for most anything to happen. No doom and gloom just a simple thank you and prayers for you and your family. You know I've been to that school already cause you brought it to me. I never miss a video. Thanks buddy!

[@davethewelder1]

Hilarious video, especially the corn joke. Love watching your videos. Learning and insightful.

[@williamkaczmarek3996]

"Ribbed, for my pleasure." You crack me up!

[@mikecoyne8105]

Have you tried Foldgers coffee in the tea bag? I use it when I go camping. It works great, no additional gear needed.

[@jjryan1352]

Most people don't know you can just pour hot water directly onto regular ground coffee in a cup and stir. It will settle to the bottom and stay there, maybe a few grains stick to the rim.

[@whoever6458]

I used to carry a 50 lbs pack as a kid when we went backpacking. I don't remember how long we went for but it was probably around a week. I was fine with that as like a 10-year-old because I have always had a strong back and strong legs.

[@moorshound3243]

50 lbs as a 10 year old wow you must have been an ox of a kid.

[@pontiusthepilot]

legit if you made an instant coffee blend labeled "corporal's coffee" guaranteed you'd sell a bunch.

[@johnallenbailey1103]

I'd buy it

[@stringstorm]

No need for a coffee press. Just the beans and a piece of cloth is more than enough. Or if you got time to prepare, tea bag with coffee grounds in it. You may need to let it steep longer than usual, though. Or what I do is toss the tea bag while the water's building up a boil. After boiling, I let it steep there for a minute or two.

I love the videos and the attitude. I did notice the “extra” gear dual purpose spatula of doom. That think will take out a couple zombies as well as flip the dippers.

[@staceykersting705]

craziest rain storm, ever. Back in the '70's, my kids n I hitch hiked to the beach (60 miles). On the way, we always seemed to find some plastic sheeting and some clothesline or rope. On arrival, we found a high n dry fallen tree righ up against a standing one. These trees were about 3' diameter. I pitched a lean to, the pine needles were deep. It rained so hard for 2 days, no one even needed a pee break. We talked and laughed and told stories. We had some bread and peanut butter. We had a good time!

[@shawnr771]

That is hardcore except for the bacon. Good stuff as usual. Stay safe in the midst of all this. Thanks for the entertainment, and the teaching the skills you teach.

[@braunwm]

I enjoyed this video tremendously, and even purchased the tent. While the tent itself is not bad (note that anyone over 6' will barely fit length-wise), this company (Rakaia) is going out of business. They also have a lot of complaints lodged against them with the BBB. If you go on their FB page, people are complaining about unfulfilled orders, etc. None of this obviously is anything Corporal Kelly has anything to do with, but just thought people should know.

[@moorshound3243]

I just hate tents unless they are so big you need a truck to carry them, I find tents a massive pain in the ass.

[@wellsaid9663]

"Ribbed, for my pleasure" … OMG, I hit the floor laughing … just short of tears rolling down my face from laughter - my GF is British and has that same type of "dry wit" (that is beyond "too funny") … FYI; I downloaded at least 4 of your vids that I hadn't seen til this morning. Your approach is exactly why I signed up as a follower when you took that camping trip to "secret lake" back in March

[@cheekyzuu]

Love that you give real, applicable, and thorough advice in a serious manner while still maintaining a sense of humor with all of your content. Just super enjoyable to watch through and through!

[@DDiskin69]

This video was outstanding AF. I really like the fact that, since you didn't have to build a shelter, we got more of you. I also think that the name of the coffee should be Corporal's Outstanding AF Brand Coffee. Please keep up with what you are doing. It is so superb. Mad props to you my friend

Proper Prior Planning and Preparation Prevents Poor Performance and Panic! vs... The "eyes rolling back" syndrome and then panicking!! As an "old" Army Ranger, I prefer subdued green and/or camo as well Shawn, if I want a signal there are plenty of options, otherwise I prefer being more covert!!

[@michaelsagehorn8873]

I have plenty of experience "camping" in the rain at Lejeune and Quantico. Pretty skilled in poncho hooches. Civilian camping along the North Coast of California has made me distrustful of all tent rain flys. Tote along a tarp to cover your tent AND it's own rain fly. If the tarp is a bit larger than your tent you have a sheltered place to cook, read, and sip your whiskey. I use the 10 x 10 Noah's tarp by Kelty for my tent. The weight isn't bad and can serve as a sun shield too. Good bacon idea.

[@roseheart7227]

Bro,that bacon and pancake thing is genius!

[@Nathan35077]

[@wlcaplinger2535]

Y'all nailed it again ! I agree with you, the only thing I would change with that tent, would be the color. Keep up the videos because you are helping viewers, all over the world, to forget, for a while, the BS of the world and spend the night with you, in the woods. Y'all can't put a price on that ! Many will never get to spend the night in the woods except with you. So when y'all are out there building that fire, you are not alone. So, pat yourself on the back because y'all have friends from all over the world camping with you.

It's hard to beat black label bacon, been using it on trips (and otherwise) for a long time now. No refrigeration needed until it's opened, and it doesn't last long enough to spoil after that, even in hot weather!
