I was impressed with the stick that guided the water to a point at the end of the tent. Great idea to start the fire. Loved the food idea. I liked the tent idea. Great show.

[@ketodad2310]

That stick is such a great idea. So funny how a no nonsense simple idea could actually make a huge advantage. Was watching the “alone” series which is my version of trash tv. People who were struggling for clean water but had plenty of rain would have done well with that

Even though i am now too old to do this, i have to say, having done this in my younger years, that your channel, Corporals Corner, is one of the best, why? Because you actually take the time to explain what shelter, etc, you are going to make and how you are going to make it along with all the items required to make that shelter. Then fire, very important as i love to watch the Food cooking aspect of these videos as well. Im an ex British Soldier of the '80's living in the Netherlands and really enjoying your posts. Keep them going please.

Im temporarily homeless so this helps alot. One of the the best survivalist/bushcraft/camping channels on youtube. I made an a-frame tarp lastnight and have another tarp and thick foam pad as a bed, along with a 30°F sleeping bag. Right now im working a job and nobody knows im homeless. Money goes alot further like this and this camping bushcrafting is really growing on me so that i dont know if i would actually want to get my own place when i have the money. Lol. Im an unconventional homeless guy because i dont use drugs or drink or steal but i work and keep my clothes and self clean. Plus i stay clean shaven and comb my hair in such a way that nobody would suspect im living in the woods.

Not bad for a jar head. Your videos are interesting and informative. From an old army ranger.

I grew up backpacking in the north Cascades in WA State. We used to say that if we called off the trip every time it rained rain we'd never go out. edit: So many of the "youtube bushcrafters" overlook the the usefulness of basic lashing skills. Nice to see it presented here.

[@SLO-Ride]

I'm sure even Marines had to learn to cut a shallow rain trench around the shelter, pile the dirt against the shelter to seal off the interior, and trench to the downhill side and away from the shelter? I'm from the Shelter-Half era Army, and this was absolute with the tent. I still camp with a minimum shelter, and have never been wet inside.

Nice tarp shelter.. but it does require a nearby forest. In the mountains I've been hiking since I was a child there are no trees or sticks or stuff to help building a shelter. So I just bring a tent. Takes just a moment to set up. Any time spent will be in finding a good spot.

[@kenmckittrick7876]

I'm really intrigued by that tarp configuration. It was Raining so you know it's Training. You kinda missed the opportunity to dig a small rain trench around the tarp. Even still, you're making videos that others ARE NOT. As usual you DID NOT DISAPPOINT, GOOD JOB

[@troublezmalone8591]

I like this one. Yes, it was in the rain and all but I learned and I saw you do something that my family thinks I'm weird for doing. I tuck under the tarp as well. If done right, any rain would hit that fold and follow it around rather than run right under the tarp and you wake up freezing. I liked the piece of wood in the tarp loop to drip water into your canteen. I do something like that when draining grease out of my pans. Nice pan, I didn't think anyone uses those anymore. I might have to make a plan to go camping with the family soon my gear has been put up for too long.

Thanks for showing the lashings for extending your ridge pole to rest onto a Y with a stick to lock the back from slipping. Great idea. You can't always pick the lengths of poles in the wild, but you can adjust by lashing 2 together for added length to get the right pitch for the tent. I will try to remember that! Lots of good info here for rigging the tent and the fire cook layout. Great job!

old boy scout tip I used to do as a boy. Soap the bottom of all your cooking pots and pans. Once your done cooking with them you can flip them upside down in the rain and the rain will wash all the black suit off of the bottom of your pots clean as they were when you arrived. Great video. thanks.

[@33rdGemini]

A really useful tip for a campfire in the rain is you could build another one of those spitroast supports, with the two Y -sticks and the cross member stick, about 2 or 3 feet from the first one. Then, lay a bunch of wet sticks or branches across the two. This will not only cover the fire and protect it from the rain but the fire will also dry out the wood pretty quickly and allow it to be used in the fire. So, as this wood dries out, throw it in the fire and replace it with more wet sticks/branches. I've done this countless times and it's always worked wonders for me. Like any fire, take necessary precautions and supervise it, and make sure not to have it too close to the fire or you'll have an unexpected bonfire.

One of my favorite ways to start a fire using the things that are probably in my kit. Use two sheets of toilet paper and some hand sanitizer, the TP is more of a wick and the hand sanitizer as a fuel and will burn surprisingly long because the sanitizer is in a gel form.

[@pmryam]
