You don't ever 'know' what you'll need out there, but logic and experience will be able to tell you what you'll likely need.

[@recall5811]

some don't know this

[@BlackVulcan22]

Well said. In addition to this my former first line always said, "What you lack in experience, you make up for in preparation." Vids like this are super dope, and invaluable

Yup 👍 food water shelter , ham radio , garmin inreach , solar panel , power bank .

What you lack in preparedness you make up for in laziness... by just leaving those things in your jeep and carrying on

A few years ago, before Beautiful Daughter discovered boys, we were practicing improvised shelters on the front veranda. She was thinking, fire up a mosquito coil, spread her sleeping pad and good to go. I pointed out some nasty clouds and there was some rumbling in the eastern sky. I suggested the large diameter bamboo pole leaning against a wall and the old inflatable swimming pool for a quick shelter. When the driving rain from the east blew in pelting one side of the shelter, I poked my head under to see BD bathed in the soft glow of a chemlight reading phone messages and sending details of her shelter to school mates. She quickly learned the value of a dry place to sleep thanks to a simple shelter.

@@recall5811 I think what you're doing is great! It seems like the longer videos with 2-3 + days camping trips are the ones that are trending right now. I'll keep watching your videos I think they are awesome, but it could be interesting to watch a video where you go on a camping trip and do some fishing/kayaking etc for a few days! Just an idea if you wanna try it.

[@elund408]

i grew up in western Oregon, we had a saying that only fools and tourist believed the weather forecast. Here in AZ the weather swing 40 degrees between high and low, a quick shelter from a tarp can give you shade in the day time and help you stay warm at night.

[@terryslaton5582]

Thanks Corporal!

[@Tyler_K13]

I love tarp shelters but hate TXs piney wood humidity. Tarp over hammock has been my favorite for reducing the amount of heat trapped while keeping you dry. That being said, definitely necessary to know how to make these shelters.

[@georgeclark7208]

Another advantage of a tarp: If there is frost overnight, the frost will be on your tarp instead of your sleeping bag or blanket. There may be some frost from breathing but that will be localized.

[@gregwebb1107]

Excellent! To the point; clearly explained;well-demonstrated. Well done, Sir.

[@richardrogers8254]

I remember sometime ago reading how the Indians would sleep sometimes leaning with back up against a tree, probably a spruce. They always had a large wool blanket. Like the plow point that's tied up against the tree and goes down to the ground and is staked on either side. They were tie the blanket right above their head, leaving just a little room. A Dakota fire pit was dug between their legs. Once they had a supply of firewood, they would start the fire, stake out the either side of the blanket, pull it up above their head and throw the rope around a tree and catch it and tie it off. The smoke will travel up the inside of the blanket and go over their head. It filtered up through the spruce and virtually disappeared. They can stay nice and warm.

[@johnjones3208]

Good afternoon Corporal thank you for the reminder cause. I thought I had left this all behind me. It's amazing what geopolitical events and circumstances have made me break out my old gear. I still hear the old Sargent saying what you learn here will help you survive.

[@jimcooksey812]

HA HA.... I live in Oregon.... what you call rain, we call air.... wet camping is a way of life! Thanks for the midweek, See you Sunday! Have a great rest of your week.

[@mrmongo656]

That last one, the burrito or ranger roll, is why I carry a poncho AND a tarp. Poncho to cover él jefe máximo, and tarp to cover the pack. I know the poncho can cover both, but I like the flexibility of being able to drop the pack without sacrificing rain cover and camo cover. Outstanding video, Shawn! I've missed the refresh on the basics!

[@gordonloree5341]

The KISS principle prevails every time !

[@martinhansen6802]

I have spent 2 years in a poncho shelter over my career in the army. And the little trick with the sticks through the loop of the string was brilliant. I am definitely going to teach this to my conscripts. As someone else in the comment section said "You never know what you need before you are in it." Resourcefulles comes with experience. Thanks for the conent!

[@Scooty776]

I really enjoyed this one. I usually like to watch during my lunch break and this was a perfect length and a great selection of set up skills. Appreciate your effort and skillset Corporal!

[@ronaldgarnes8809]

Training at Pohakuloa on the big island of Hawaii in the early 90's. MOPP4 in 80-90 degrees during the day dropped our packs and MOPP gear to step into the attack. Night fell at 8500 ft in sweat-soaked utilities and underwear. Gear never caught up to us, we Damm near froze to death (30-35 degrees)😬 on the side of the mountain. Butt pack included dry socks and underwear, a towel, and poncho/poncho liner on the outside from that point on. Great class on how to make the ridgeline work with the poncho. Semper Fi

[@3catmom]

Great video as always.

[@SofiaPolyakova-pc6co]

Guys, this is a really cool! It is the first time I see people creating things on their own. I never leave comments on KZbin, but I decided to do so because I recently flew from the US to Europe and my flight was delayed for 5 hours. I always have a few essential things for traveling in my bag and one of them is the emergency poncho that I recently ordered on Amazon, AZengear brand if I'm not mistaken. In general, this thing really saved me!! I was warm all night thanks to one small poncho. So I just couldn't pass by and not recommend it to you!🔥

[@chadrossiter156]

Yes sir condensation on the inside of my alaknak & bighorn tents or tarps when I camp . And I'm in illinois

[@captainscarlet6758]

It's not only rain you need cover from. Blistering hot days too. A poncho will provide shade when you need it.

[@akcarlos]

this is the stuff that I originally came to your channel for , simple solutions that work

I don't know about the other ladies in the viewership, but I enjoyed watching Corporal demonstrate sleeping arrangements. 😅

I wish you were still active duty so you could help defend the USA. Did you know China has a 10 year conscription? The U.S. is out manned and out gunned by China and the U.S. troops are spread thin all over the world. Your thoughts please. Sebastian, St.Louis

[@SebastianSynn18252]

Thanks for another great video. A lot of us look forward to the midweek videos as much as the Sunday videos.

[@Pygex]

I do love my rain poncho. Originally I didn't even know it functions as a tarp as well. When I bought mine it was sitting at the bottom of the bag for a year or two before one day when I was out with the kids we got surprised by a local rainstorm. Pulled it out thinking it's gonna keep the kids dry, but oh man I was happy when I saw the rings on the edges. Quick setup with some paracord and we all waited the 15min for the storm to pass 90% dry. Cause you know, you gotta set it up first before it works.

[@ToyodaMaster-tq6ht]

Shawn, you’ll find the Angola Military Poncho has standard size tarp grommets & heavy duty buttons to combine two or more ponchos together. You’ll find them at Coleman’s Military Surplus, all come brand new!

[@Nomad.K]

A poncho and tarp are perfect for a lightweight opinion,a couple of knots and a length of line and your good to go cheers corp

[@williamkeck7378]

Don't know about anybody else, but I value your opinion. I like the "bat wing". Anyone that lives anywhere other than the desert, experiences "dew". Walk in the grass on a cool morning. You have to turn on your wipers too clear the dew off so you can drive. Without the poncho or tarp over you, you wear that dew on you. Another good one. Thanks.

[@lukeb4856]

Not long got a poncho looking forward to using it more especially after i watch this. Great work as always corporal

[@campsiteministries]

I don't know if it's in business anymore but several years ago I ordered "Ranger Rick's Poncho Liner Conversion Kit" which consisted of 2 zippers. The long zipper was sewn in along the edge of the poncho liner so that it could be zipped up like a sleeping bag. The short zipper was sewn into the middle of the poncho liner to create an opening for the hood so that the poncho and liner could be worn together or separately, and still closed up when used as a blanket or sleeping bag. I still use mine and keep it folded up at the foot of my bed, along with a couple of wool army blankets when I'm home.

[@sleazy1drache]

Excellent back to basics. Nothing beats common sense and KISS! Thanks for continuing to put these videos out, they're great

[@francisbarbeau1862]

Even in the Desert you NEED a Tarp to protect you from the Sun (shade id great)!!

[@recall5811]

agreed

[@ddahstan6876]

Simplicity's is the key. I've always love a "sleep and go" minimal approach to camping like Corporal here, but my extended family are not into camping and don't know much about gears, so I ended up carrying all the resting/lying systems every time we're out in the park or the like. We just went cherry picking, and I packed 1ground tarp, 3 hammocks, 2 skeeping pads, and a cot, but I still ended up sitting on a cherry tree. 😮😅

[@janicehoward9090]

Awesome video AF just like always the Corporal teaches and it's up to the people to pay attention it's very smart to always carry the poncho no matter what the weather "is supposed to be "mother nature is very unpredictable now nobody can guess what the weather will do so it's good practice to prepare for the worst so you know your protected in your situation love ya Corporal

[@bettyboop9148]

Thank you. Love it when you get the poncho out.

[@LAWLESSXX88]

A tarp/military poncho doesn't weigh hardly anything . So why not keep one in your pack at all times. Common sense. These keyboard warriors acting like they actual been in the woods 🪵 let alone stayed overnight..i carry the essentials even when im on a day scout or fishing. Me and my buddy been doing bushcraft since we was kids (early 90's when it wasn't a cool bushcraft youtube thing), we didn't know what it was called, we was just kids playing rambo in NC woodlands..Rambo was my intro to survival in the woods. My 1st 2 knives was a swiss army knife and knockoff rambo knife from a yard sale..this is my new youtube account, but ive always been a sub and fan Kelly. Thanks for all your videos and teachings man, keep it up.

Tarp/line kit are mandatory. So many uses, and so easy and fun to experiment with. I prefer a tent only during bug season and even then the experience is less enjoyable and more "stuffy" as Whelen wrote. Nice vid. I"m really enjoying the new direction.

[@Jaden48108]

To me the Plow Point wins every time. Don't even need a tree to set it up. To me it offers the most protection. Can set it up high or low or inbetween to take advantage of wind direction and weather conditions. Have to get a little creative with a campfire setup. I see you have a genuine Scout rifle. Nice.

[@christopherbeckerdite4273]

CPL, I enjoy you opinions. They're sensible. When I was in the Corps, I used to use my shelter half with the poncho for a shelter when necessary.

[@johnlhigh]

Living in Colorado we always have a tarp with us like the free soldier. In a hammock I keep it over me and flip it back to see the stars. That said if it rains like the forest will do regularly im covered for that 20 minute blast.

[@stevennoble7254]

I personally think regardless carrying a tarp is essential for many reasons but since its next to no weight or size it's hands down worth carrying thanks again Corporal for your useful tips and opinions.

[@jeffhowell3310]

Thank you for this video. Outstanding ideas as always! I wholeheartedly concur in your remarks about the dew in the Ohio-Pennsylvania-West Virginia region. It can make one (and one's gear) near as wet as a light-to-moderate rain, and the dew dripping off the trees and brush is not to be ignored.
