Okay, prove your survilal skills and go to Ukraine...... Nah, yerra pussy and just make your money off YT But having said that, your vidz are good! :) from Australia

[@eventsmorewithchrisg]

@ Corporal's Corner Just saying TY for this Shawn & wishing you a Happy Easter!

[@mikebrown7091]

The first tarp set was awesome. I'll definitely use on one of my overnight experiments

[@brendaf3132]

The cabin project is exciting. I can't wait!

[@mikemangler2008]

Deep-fried Uncrustables... My mouth is still watering. One of these days you have to put out a cookbook, maybe call it Corporals campsite cuisine...

[@williamcronkright5430]

My father trimmed trees for a living when I was a boy. Hard working man. Climbed mostly. He used a taught line hitch on his “life line” (safety rope). On that rope, he used more turns - three above and two below. This does two things. 1) it increases friction which helps keep the line from slipping, and 2) makes the knot longer which causes the other line to bind more. Using the 3 above and 2 below variation, I’ve never had a taught line hitch slip on me. With that knot, one can always add wraps to make it hold tighter.

[@paulzimmerman3895]

Great schooling on several emergency shelter configurations. I'd be worried about hitting my head on the table and metal components. Look forward to the off grid cabin build. Thanks for the info tautline hitch and your consistent work ethic!

[@clairewyndham1971]

I have been looking for this guy for about 15 years. Of course, I didn't know this. Man, am I glad I found him. Better late than Never!

[@FD_Boss]

Ha, deep fried crustables. Could you have just put a tiny bit of oil in the pan and toasted them just the same? Yes…yes you could have…GO BIG OR GO HOME! Awesome idea for emergency shelters in camping areas! Never thought of that. Great stuff, Corp!

[@jasonhaney108]

Just when you think there can't be anymore tarp configurations. Corporal shows us that there is. Outstanding!! Great ideas and setups. Keep them coming.

[@rhughes004]

A Sunday without Corporal’s Corner is like a day without sunshine. Another great vid 👍

[@Freeman361]

Gosh, me and the boys when kids, would setup under 1 or 2 tables. The seats became built in shelves, for our supplies. Great memories.❤

[@melissafields3376]

Yay! I've been waiting! Always thought about camping in unusual circumstances. Today you've taught me how 🤔

[@susiestogsdill5075]

[@constancemiller3753]

Always learn something new and interesting.

[@PurpleBox89]

Those fried PBJ sandwiches are the epitome of camping USA. The table tarp shelter is a great concept!

[@czmg22]

Another cool video! 3-for-1 shelter configuration, knot instruction, and fun food idea. Thanks Corporal!

[@ThomasSpearman-g3y]

One of the best uses of resources making for a "bullet proof" campsite. All three options are excellent and you can be choosy depending on environment and weather conditions. I like option three best- the plowpoint- mainly because of assessibility, getting in and out.

[@davidnachbaur6805]

Love the idea of wrap around porch. Thanks for the vid

[@shawnmcdonald9070]

@2:42 There's my favorite character! Liked for the DiY rake. Hoping you remember to check your boots for critters in the morning.

[@Jaden48108]

This is one of your best demos yet given the various shelter options using the picnic bench. Could easily expand on the idea even if a table wasn't available, but something similar was, utilizing a tarp. Wish I could express myself better when I tell you how much I appreciate the work you do.

[@Jimbo234GW]

Yes! The rake! I do agree, a tarp is so versatile. I like the first of the three configurations. In amongst the trees it offers more protection. Plus the seats offer gear storage off of the ground to keep it dry. I always have a couple 4' x 8' & 10' x 12' tarps on-hand. They are so damned handy. Tarps, a knife, & some 750 and you are set.

[@joesoutdoorplaces]

My vote goes to the plow point with the “rock or something” pullout. One of the best tips I got from your videos is the three tine rake. Of course all the tips are outstanding. Thanks.

[@biggsmoke2129]

I love the three tine rake would have never thought about that if it wasn't for corporals corner

[@machinist5828]

Gramps called that a chicken foot stick. LOL! Cheers Terry

[@mojorising1]

Finally another oddball like myself that likes fried pb&j lol I make mine grolled on cast iron skillet with butter usually 😋

[@christopherbeckerdite4273]

Awesome. Can't wait for the new ideas. Thank you for your time and effort making these for us. See you next week.

[@jacobhumphreys493]

The best part of Corporals videos is that they all have real world applications. Keep up the great work sir.

[@craigbassett1492]

Love how you ALWAYS leave your campsites the way you find them, if not better. Thank you, Corporal. SALUTE!

[@antoinehunter3776]

Hell!!! Yeah!!!...and you got the crustables...I thought I was the only 1...Detroit in the building!!

[@michaeldavis8727]

Another outstanding solo overnighter.... you are not wrong. It don't get any easier 👍🏻 ⚓ 🇬🇧

[@garynichols8186]

Love this idea of using the picnic table for a shelter! It could also be used for wood and supply storage in a regular campground situation if you already had a tent. Thanks for sharing.

[@irmuggle]

One of the most in genius most amazing unbelievably simple sturdy out-of-this-world setup I like the one with the flying tarp you could sleep on the table and have two skinny friends take the seats great job as always

[@bertmoore4092]

I like the first configuration the best. I could sleep better knowing that I'm protected from falling trees and branches. Probably because I've had it happen once.

[@kirneyc.thibodeaux649]

This in my opinion is the perfect shelter. Any shelter that is bunker shaped will last longer and be stronger especially constructed like this. Super great job. Great video. Very well presented. One of your best. Good chow. Semper Fi. Charles

[@awakened5574]

Some of the best survival methods I have viewed to date. Thanks Corporal!

[@NaomiH.]

More and more often I'm getting your older videos auto playing next after I watch the video you just released from the KZbin notification. Many times it's several in a row. Thought you'd like to hear some good news. 👍

[@boboneil6479]

Great to bring back idea of picnic table shelter. My brother and I used these on Scout camping trips, I am 80 years old. Keep up the good work

[@djmaydraws3862]

I notice sometimes you talk about waking up in the middle of the night to add more logs to your fire, would be interesting to see a self feeding fire implemented. Awesome video and presentation as always

[@sleazy1drache]

Mcgivering the picknick table... cool ideas. Thanks for sharing.

[@mootpointjones8488]

I love the Tardis version, fantastic! It looks so solid and weather proof. As usual a great upload 👍

[@DaKnottyYooper]

Seeing your deep fried PBnJs reminds me of all the things we've done with our Pudgy Pie maker, including PBnJs. I'm not sure if I recall a video with one and I'm willing to admit I'm wrong but it's one of my favorite options because of its versatility and think it would be something worthwhile for you to try.

[@barryxanchez2965]

Bench is a good and creative idea. 👌

[@ForestHermit]

It was a great episode. The time it took to set up different cameras was well worth it. I'm so glad I found your channel when I did. Keep up the good work! Bravo. 👍👍👍

[@Henviggdbgjt]

The reason your knit slipped is because it was not a taught line hitch. You tied a modified cow hitch instead. A taught line hitch continues around the standing line in the same direction, like two half hitches, or a clove hitch around a rope, with an extra loop to make it function like a prussic hitch.

[@stuckgrenadepin.225]

Taut*

[@cpd833]

Thanks for showing the variations in coverage of picnic benches. The plow point and the other 10 x 12 covered picnic table were my favorites. See what you can do with a cheap tarp. Thanks

[@BrianRRenfro]

Man those deep fried sammich pockets REALLY making me wanna bust out my "pie irons" and make some heart attack pockets soooooonnnnn!!!!

[@Stinger9516]

I really like the different options shown. Instead of making one and just explaining the others, you actually did the work. Thank you!

[@joshuanorthern1863]

As always sir... Outstanding AF (in your words). Excellent video. All of these shelters that you have showcased today are awesome... I love the fact that you covered more than 1 tarp configurations (considering I am a family man). It's great to know how build a shelter to take care of self. It's absolutely magnificent to be able to take care of and build a shelter for family (crew, friends, associates). If shtf, I know that I wouldn't be traveling alone. Thanks and salute!

[@tammiebroggins]

. New subscriber . I'm homeless and this is so helpful. Tarps are way cheaper than tents

[@larstueschjth2658]

Sorry to hear about your situation (been there twice)...as far as the tarp-the are way moore versatile than tent's,cheaper and you can get them in many different stores. God speed😉

[@anderspalmberg4961]

I really like how you manage to come up with different ways to build a survivalshelter. Love watching your videos.

[@iamyourrealfatherkid]

this guy can make everything look easy and fun. i tried the side roof camp style last few months ago and it is no fun. got eaten my mosquitos, sweating like an ogre, itchy here and there, not to mention ants attack.. damn. maybe im not built for outdoor or maybe its because im in a different climate? but its a good memory

[@sharonmiller6436]

I guess part of raking or sweeping the immediate site would be to check for ant hills and re-locate away from them. If the memory is a good one in spite of the stuff you mentioned try again and just keep improving your camp depending on what you are dealing with. Picking up a mosquito net that covers a bed might work well, you can have ventilation and yet keep the bugs out! We once spent a night in our sailboat (which was not really meant for sleeping in) and didn't think to check the louvers for screening . . . so there we were, sunburned from a day on the water, had another day to travel and no sooner got lying down than the mosquitos took over the cabin - under the sleeping bags we went head and all, and you could hear them beating on the the nylon cover trying to get to us. They finally left at some point then returned at first light (about 4 am when the mist over the water was fantastic) so we started the engine and motored out to the middle of the bay and left them behind. It's a good memory in spite of the mosquitos.

[@tommythuntdeer]

The Uncrustables needed bacon! 🥓😋👍Thanks for the creative video!

[@dicebed]

All I can think of is the old Charley Pride song - "Rain dripping off the brim of my hat, Sure is cold today, Here I am walking down 66, Wish she hadn't done me that way. Sleeping under a table in a roadside park, A man could wake up dead, But it sure feels warmer than it did, Sleeping in our king-sized bed."

[@earlyriser8998]

i love these unusual 'survival' type scenarios that I have never thought of....'don't need to I hope' but give me lots of ideas for an emergency. I have plenty of tarps.

[@summerbreenichols6509]

Also loved the way you took food we can find at local Walmart and dollar stores across America and used it to make a meal so dam great I’d not ever though of using it your ideas are so great ty so much I’ll share these vids with all my friends

[@terryweston566]

good idea, we have done the exact same thing except for the deep fried stuff, we stuck to sausages and beans with coal baked potatoes wrapped in aluminum foil. Happy Easter..

[@schmoodhu]

This was a good practical video. I like the use what is there aspect.

[@raftguy]

Nice and practical in a real world situation. I went solo camping not too long ago and forgot to pack my tent in the rush to leave - just the rain cover which is effectively a tarp anyway, so I can appreciate this kind of video. I ended up rigging a shelter with sitting bench and a camping chair, which was quite lucky since it rained. Your builds however have that military precision about them, and that's a good lesson for the rest of us.

[@franktesta7307]

Turn the table upside down and sleep on the bottom of the table. Tarp is tight over the legs

[@MrSheckstr]

There is alot of hardware in the underside of the table , also there are angle bracing bars going from those four vertical segments to the middle of the table… (check around 3:09 )

[@jessicacanfield5058]

I really like to see and hear you making a fire. It reminds me when I was about 5 or 6 watching my dad make a fire when we were tent camping when my parents were young lol. The sounds of fire making and listening to the fire pop and crackle has always been a comforting sound to me thank you for not reducing the audio on that

[@halfassranch8363]

Better get out there and make a fire of your own whenever you get a chance. Love watching these videos but nothing beats the real deal... camping with my wife and son is honestly the only times I can get decent sleep.

[@Paulosus]

You know things are getting serious when the Corporal busts out the rake

[@Clearanceman2]

I remember when people used to give him crap for killing a tree to make a rake. :P

[@stonebay2111]

My grandfather had/has a site like the one you described, had a spring, latrine area, trapper cabin etc he called it his trapper homestead even had a few volunteer vegetables, corn, potatoes, squash and onions along with blackberries that he had just dumped out there and said if they grow they grow.

[@JelloFluoride]

You grilled the uncrustables?! Always full of surprises Sean. 😆 Not gonna lie that's freaking awesome. Edit: In all seriousness, this was a really good video. Thanks for the upload buddy!

[@JohnSmith-ei6sc]

Grilled? You mean deep fried. Jesus Christ how many adults can’t read and comprehend?

[@DeemoView]

Another fulfilled Sunday with Corporal Kelly!..🤗 *Moral to this story*: Stock up on those "emergency tarps!..😉👌 Can't wait for the "Cabin Build"!..🪵🪓⛏🪚🛠 #CorporalStyle!..🪖

[@georgecarousos6735]

You're a freaking origami tarp folding master....nicely done!!

[@forestgnome55]

Hey, Bud good job! Try this though, tie your taught line hitch with three or four loops and the locking half hitch going in the same direction, two loops as you tied it is sufficient for natural ropes, manila, sisal, etc. but synthetic cordage is generally slicker and thus requires an extra loop or two for grip. (Just a tip from the world's oldest Cub Scout.)

[@mariastevens6406]

I love how lately you've been doing more shelters that homeless could set up. Lot of them are configs I used. But these are ideas people who find themselves homeless can do easily and relatively cheaply.

[@redbeard1765]

Wow. Got this in the first hour.

[@skingusmc]

I liked the "plow point" the best, seems like it gives you the most room and versitility. The first configuration does give you the best protection from anything falling. Keep doing what you do!!

[@richieevans8617]

HAPPY EASTER N HE IS RISEN ...

[@billg7101]

I used a taunt line for setting a ridge line for years, after my education from your videos, I have change to an improvise truckers hitch. Thanks a billion Buddy! Long Live the Republic 🇺🇸God Bless America 🇺🇸

[@williamjacobs236]

Another great video corporal Kelly .

[@survivaloptions4999]

Outstanding! And more likely than one might think. True story. When I was a boy scout we were on a trip at Percy Quinn State Park in MS when hurricane Juan decided to change course. After my tent came down (Eureka! Timberline II) I spent a nice dry night under the bench of a picnic table. It had to be the bench because the rain was blowing sideways and the only thing I had was a poncho. The bench was the only part narrow enough to allow me to have walls. Good times.

[@DoesKnots]

If this truly was an emergency situation, I would have use the steel trashcan tipped on it's side for the fire but I know you are limited in what you can do in a campground or park.

[@LookOutside...]

2 of my favorite elements of Corporal videos are the raking and knot tying

[@joeyskullz111]

I was wondering what would happen if you didn’t have any cooking oil. I found a video showing how to make sunflower oil from sunflower seeds. Sunflower seeds are something you would likely have when hiking/camping. Simply grind the whole seed, (you cold use rocks or whatever else you can find) add a 1/2 or full tsp of water and massage the ground seeds with your hands , after not too long you will actually produce sunflower oil that you can use to fry your food.

[@seanyowies8532]

I really like the sun shelter around and over the picnic bench, protection from the harsh Australian sun

[@seanyowies8532]

Even though sunset 🌅 your sunburn skin keeps burning

[@atmazee]

deep fried uncrustables is both the best and worst idea i have seen today

[@TheSlipperyjimbo]

It's good you're showing multiple ways to get her done. Use what you've got with you to make the best shelter for your situation. Keep it up Corporal.

[@dericksmith2137]

Ok, I was out tent camping back when I was a teen. Huge storm hits and my tent gets destroyed. So rather than have the most miserable night, I came up with: My camp site came with a picnic table. So I ignored my damaged tent and use the floor of the tent to drape over the picnic table and lashed it to the table legs. While not the cosiest of arrangements, me and my companion were able to get some sleep and stay relatively dry. *My vehicle was 3mi away and I wasn’t familiar enough with the trail to hike back out at night with my inexperienced at hiking GF. (In the morning I was a bit upset to find out that the campsite was only 15 minutes away from a nice dry rest area building 😳🙄🤦‍♂️. That I hadn’t noticed on the way in, but saw right away when leaving.)

[@virginiasullivan1040]

you are amazing, what I wouldn't give to be able to build the things I see in my head. I laughed out loud your comment about your fried uncrustables. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@paulmcdonald1968]

I’m gonna fry some Uncrustables when no one is watching me.

[@lanedexter6303]

For low or near zero budget (Harbor Freight has their 11’4” x 11’6” blue tarp for $8.49) this a great thing to know. I usually have a light tarp in my rig, “just in case.” Good video!👍

[@charleswalter2902]

Hey, that picnic table camping idea is great. I invented it 55 yrs. ago while traveling cross country. Back then all the tarps were canvas but the idea was still the same. In an organized campground there were always pre built structures to construct a shelter over---you got it, a picnic table. As a young man, I spent many nights staring up at the bottom of one of these tables.

I’m thinking this would be a good backup for camping at the beach if it gets too windy. I once had to bug out in the middle of the night because my cabin tent was in danger of collapsing. If I had a cheap tarp I could have set up one of these shelters.
