Pointing out the fact that by rolling the tarp edge up instead of under to funnel the rain and create a water collection point is why your videos are so good. You demonstrate a common-sense application of using what you have which is invaluable.

I'm a Trucker.. The last job I had over the road I had a bucket set up just like that for those emergency times.. Helpful hint.. Put a cheap trash bag liner in it under the pool noodle.. When your done "doing the deed" Just replace the liner... Way easier that washing it out.... Oh yeah.. And.. Roll you Windows down help too. Lol

[@marjorieswan3526]

I enjoy how you show that you can have fun out in the woods with an overnight and it doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg and your first born child. You show the quality of the stuff that you buy and explain what else was there and why you chose what you did. Thank you for all the information.

[@spencerbrummett6712]

I know it wasn't necessary in this video, but it's worth mentioning that if the knife hadn't been sharp when you bought it, you could have used the bottom edge of the mug to sharpen it.

[@stepheneddington1667]

The great thing about this video is that you show how to do things with cheap gear and supplies. I think that's the best way for people new to camping, prepping, and survival that gets overlooked. Your going to make a few mistakes along the way as you learn. Accidents can happen. You'll feel a lot better knowing it's not going to cost much to replace something than you will when you ruin something that cost you a substantial investment. As you learn and get better, then it's a good idea to upgrade. Keep up the great work and videos. Every Sunday is a treat thanks to you.

[@Tyler-vh7zf]

Hi, me and my dad love your videos and I am 12 years old and we practice the things you do in our woods. We would love to take your classes one day.

[@thomallom5906]

One thing I really appreciate about your channel is that you show that it is possible to make do with the crappiest of equipment. Who would try to baton a tree with a $1 paring knife? If you didn't have that, I'm sure that you could show us how to make a cutting utensil out of a soda can or bottle. You've learned some mad skills. Thank you for sharing them with us l. And the fun little dinner you make afterwards adds a lighthearted aspect that always makes me grin.

[@127001er]

I’m not going to read 2k+ comments, but this is a good exercise in scrounging and adaptation. Your fancy gear could be lost, stolen, or not accessible. In an urban environment there are plenty of these cheap retail stores that offer opportunities for gear. This video has some good tips, especially with the insulated container. Let this video be an inspiration for ingenuity. Your survival might depend on it.

[@patrickharmon9459]

I had the same idea for the port-A-potty when I was driving a truck OTR but my wife found a 5 gallon bucket toilet seat with a lid and that's more handy than just doing your no.2. It's a trash bucket with a lid, and I also have a foam insert that will also keep your beers cold for that use as well. Of course always keep 6 gallon trash bags for liners, especially for waste uses, 😆 but keep up the good work and God bless🙏

[@yendub]

I love these budget (and no so budget) challenges. Have you ever done a challenge where the viewers on KZbin or your Facebook group decide on a kit and make you adapt to what odd items they make you take. I mean, right now you are designing perfect kits. Why not see what you can do with horrid ones?

[@TheSlipperyjimbo]

I find the "doing more with less" videos more interesting Corporal. It shows more creativity and imagination. Thanks as always mate, I find being in the outdoors relaxing but can't be doing the stuff you do due to a bad back. Thanks for letting me live vicariously though the stuff you do.

[@Hugh-Glass]

Great video. You are a good teacher and my shelters have become cool looking, straight and tight. Thanks for detailing the knots, you have encouraged me to camp more often.

[@johnnyringo3171]

I think I was most impressed by that paring knife, which performed well beyond what it was designed for.

[@Darthos3]

Where I come from, back in the scouting days, we called TP "mountain money". People didn't want to use leaves or moss, but didn't always remember to bring their own rolls. Suddenly desperate kids were trading away their compasses and pocket knives etc to use some TP.

[@marcosablan]

There's a dollar general down the road from me so yes I had to watch this. I've been a subscriber for awhile and I always appreciate the content you put out for us

[@mendyviola]

Watching like this that you do made me the “expert” when hubby and I went camping for the first time in 30 years last weekend. My knot tying skills still suck and I need a lot of practice to keep our tent from flying away. We won’t talk about the tent stakes pulling loose. Nope, we won’t talk about that. 😂 but I was the fire making queen and was able to get a good sustainable fire going pretty quickly.

[@susanfanning9480]

I watched our good friend Andrew @RangerSurvival. Between you both I learn so many great ways to survive in the wilds. I still greatly appreciate your time, efforts and instructions, on survival. Sepre Fi Corporal Kelly, God Bless you 🙏

[@kcthecowboy]

I used to teach my hunter safety students to bring a partial role of cheap TP with them. Not just for the obvious, but to use as a trail marker. Hang a few sheets from a limb to mark your route. It’s also biodegradable after a few weeks.

[@touge18]

In Australia I watch your show over breakfast on Monday with my kids. When you said “how to drop a deuce in the field, with style” I almost sprayed a mouthful of eggs across the table, then had to explain the terminology 😂

[@Cicada2010]

Bucket potty tip, small trash bags and some cat litter, works great. Also could you do a video about how to take care of a family in a survival situation? Solo videos are great I'm just curious how to make it successful if I had the kids along and all that, just a scenario type of thing. Thanks!

👍👍👍 .. great stuff .. thanks for sharing 😊. Some 'useless information 🙄😏 .. Back in '72, as a young 22 year old Gold Mining Learner Official, I recall a conversation I had with my then Mining Training Instructor, Alan Taylor, a Welshman. We were talking about the Annual Winter Migration of Hobos from chilly Johannesburg on the South African Highveld down to the warmer Coastal City of Durban. Having grown up in Durban, I had been privy to this migration .. our City Centre, Beaches, Parks, Woodlands, etc showing an increased presence of this migratory species over the balmy winter period. Ok .. now where is this is going. Alan in humour, referred to these Gentlemen as 'Knight's of the Road' 😊 .. I can still hear it being said in his unique 'Welsh Lilt'. I'm sure that those Knight's of the Road (and us, your viewers) would have (do) appreciated your practical advice on no-nonsense 'getting it done'. Thanks Shaun, for the Posting .. and the fond Memories that it dug up .. Alan, his 'Knights of the Road' and more from that period in time .. 👍. Take care .. Tommy

This is how i grew up camping. A tarp, a cooking pot, clothes line, a butcher knife, matches, a cheap flashlight, and a blanket. You could buy white label generic canned food in Colorado back in the 80's for cheap. The tarp was just big enough for lean-to with ground cover. The good old days.

[@andrewgriffin2320]

Hey buddy, I noticed you blowing the fire coals to intice flame. You may do what I'm about to tell you in other settings or videos but I have not seen you do it. Anyways, I take an aluminum arrow shaft and cut both ends off so that I have a large straw. Then you can pin point the air flow with less effort. Toggle, straw, and bellows.

[@malevolent73]

It’s a good idea but could be a little difficult to carry and could get damaged! There is actually a collapsible fire blower available on Amazon for about 3 bucks will do the same thing, and fits in ur shirt pocket!

[@andrewgriffin2320]

Most tools you take with you should have 3 options of use. With the pocket bellows do you have other options other than bellows. If it does, then great but, if it doesn't then it is extra.

[@glenhehir3833]

I use an old car radio aerial. Telescopic, light and can use it as a straw as well. Never did get around to replacing the aerial on my car however.

[@fatimazaky6353]

The slanting tarp is a great idea for directing rain away from one’s sleeping space and for catching rain. And your port-a-pot idea is fantastic. Us ladies should give you a standing ovation for that, as it saves one’s arse from poison ivy, snake bite, and other predators one may encounter away from the safety of the campfire area. And thank you for that demonstration that proves it’s efficacy. LOL The tiki torches are a nice idea too. They may also help keep those cursed skeeters away.
