To me this looks like an Aermotor tower, some of them were used in World War II as an Aircraft Warning Service station.🪖It would be so great if you rebuilt this Watchtower in the future, with a small cabin at the top to be at the top of the trees and also be able to spend the night up there and watch the sunsets and sunrises and the birds, that would be a dream.🌳Maybe you could get some restoration fund from the Forest Fire Lookout Association for that project.🌲

[@alaskankare]

hubby and I love your channel.

[@normajeanhedlund7429]

Was this on your property? How exciting. I would live in one.

[@ethanstang9941]

If it's allowed, go make it into a giant fort. The possibilities are endless.

[@FXR_Marine]

Rah devil💪🏽 Solid copy on that outstanding passdown of vital intel on survival and bushcraft. Don’t even waste you time with these freakin turds runnin their holes shittalkin. Probably some freakin never did nothing sittin on their damn couch talkin trash. ML&R brotha🍻💪🏽

[@shadowlord5574]

Hat's off to all of our vet's past and present. And let's not forget those that lost their life in the fight for freedom. A special thanks to all that served.🇺🇲

[@onsite0807]

Thought you may want to know, Paul Harrell’s Brother Roy gave a Hardcore Hammer Camp Companion Hatchet shout out and recommendation in Paul’s newest video!

[@paulzeigler1075]

Will the Joker and the Thief be joining? All Along the Watch Tower…Corporal Style.

[@kennethrich2107]

May all the Men & Women who have given thier life defending this once great nation, be forever in the presence of God Almighty. Happy Memorial Day Corporal.

[@michaelabbott511]

I remember the video of your son ,making his first birdnest fire, and how proud you were when he did it, GREAT VIDEO I learned alot😊

[@Gary-kg4ok]

I think you are one of the best at showing and explaining the bow drill fire making techniques and process every time I’ve seen you

[@enigma51ted]

perfect spot for a HAM radio repeater/antenna and a Starlink antenna powered by solar panel/deepcycle. and a night-sky telescope :) add a winch/pulley system with bucket to hoist things up high

[@JpHossKY]

Reminds me of the fire tower on Pine Mountain in Kentucky. My Dad was a forest ranger for 40 years in SEKY. I made a lot of happy memories running up and down those towers while he was working fire season.

[@terryche1]

We had an abandoned fire tower near where I grew up. A rite of passage…of sorts…was to climb up to the top without getting caught by the Game and Fish Officers. We always wanted to camp up there, but to my knowledge on one ever did. This video brought back some wonderful memories. Thanks!

[@jeffmitchell2183]

I really like this format, nice find on the tower, you do make the best vids on outdoor fundamentals😊

[@B25gunship]

Still the best bowdriller on KZbin. That tower was in bad ass bad shape. But had lots of potential.

[@larryfitzgerald2373]

Good points about the bow drill. I can truly say that I've never camped under an abandoned fire tower. This was a good use of existing surroundings! Once, I came across an abandoned brick-making place. There was an office (no furnishings). It offered an easy shelter against a surprise ice storm. Inside, I discovered two things. There was electricity available (all I had to do is flip the breaker). And there was a very good electric space heater in the one and only closet. I was able to stay warm and even able to eat up water for coffee and instant oatmeal. I ended up spending two nights and a day at that little structure. I guess it wasn't real "bushcraft" but certainly was survival with style.

[@norahc.]

These are the types of videos that got me subscribed and keep coming back. Excellent work

[@tammyjackson-gq6jj]

Really cool video! Love how you find new and unusual places to camp and teach new skills.

[@recall5811]

yet most still miss

[@BBQDad463]

Thank you for this video. Excellent selection of materials. "Use what you can find." Cool that you found that tower! Be careful.

[@4449John]

You keep making them, I'll keep watching them!

[@justinsigmund6200]

If anyone is on the fence about the bottle set that he sells, it’s a great set for someone to have. I used that, and my cold handle skillet on the modern survival course with Shawn, and Jake. It did everything I needed it to.

[@reubencdebaca2408]

Wow, what an awesome find! I would love to have a structure like that on my ranch!

[@NaomiH.]

Thank you for your service and I sincerely hope you and your family enjoy the weekend.

[@DDGVET4]

That tower is probably older than 30-40 years. Probaby closer to 60 or 70. There was a fire tower near where I grew up that still had the walls and roof on it at the top but was no longer being used back in the early 70's. It wasn't disassembled until sometime near the late 70's.

[@kenemerson1075]

Awesome as always! You are very skilled at starting fires! I have learned much from watching your videos! Well done.

[@josephwallace1938]

Great video sir, have a safe and productive week. Catch your next video drop

[@Boggger]

What an awesome find. I would absolutely love having access to an abandoned watch tower. Jealous AF!!

[@BrianTerrebonne-ns7jr]

got yourself one hell of a deer stand/camp !! nice...

[@curbshoppin]

Another great video, Thank you for your service Corporal

[@robertosantinni9656]

Pretty neat find and setup there Corp. Thank you.

[@johnovanic9560]

That pile of material looks more like a copperhead Nest to me

[@maxpinson5002]

It would be around here. And a scorpion ranch

[@Dstuff44Duval904]

Primitive fire starting is a great skill to work on.

[@xcskier871]

Really enjoy my ENO Double Nest. It's deep just like your XL and helps to keep out the wind. I really appreciate the tip with the water bottle. I will put that in my bag of knowledge. As I move closer to Grizz country my only concern with hammock camping is trying not to become a human bait bag for a Mr. Grizz or a punching bag for a bull moose, or elk. Looking forward to the new platform, I checked it out and researched some of the instructors on KZbin. There is a good mix of survival knowledge to be had. Thank you for sharing your skills.

[@seanpenrod]

Thanks for the BOW DRILL SET UP and Example.

[@dennisgrabow2872]

Thanks!

[@challenger2ultralightadventure]

Those who are afraid of failure, or scoff at those who try something new, never succeed at anything in life. The new platform you are involved with may be greatly successful, or it may fail. But if you don't try, you will have failed without trying. Good luck with the venture, and I look forward to seeing it grow into a great platform. Cheers from Winnipeg.

[@johno1057]

Awesome find in the woods. Thank You for your service and enjoy Monday.

[@hanginwithbullfrog4657]

Happy Memorial Day Brother

[@66MANICMECANIC]

Outstanding AF!

[@verapregogrilo]

Thanks CPL👍

[@cimmaron50]

The skills and woodcraft are the reason that I subscribed to the channel in the first place.

[@donovanbasham995]

Very cool

[@MarxIsDeadAndRotting]

Heck yeah, reinforce the structure to give it more load bearing capacity and necessary rigidity, replace all the wood with trex, and build a legit watchtower on top.

[@johnnorman7708]

The last time I climbed a USFS fire watch tower I didn't trust the wooden steps completely. I kept my weight on the sides directly above the step brackets. Wood rots but galvanized steel hangs in there much better. Those towers were pretty flexible like an airplane wing so they were a bit weird to be on because of sway and shake in the wind. I never felt super comfortable with the contant movement, but loved the view from the top.

[@elund408]

I worked in a prison in the high desert of Nv. sitting in the tower in a thunder storm while the water in the toilet swayed back and forth from the tower movement was interesting but not somthing I really want to experience again.

[@tombrenes2411]

My 2 cents setup camp Cover all wood with tar At top over hang a snatch block rope a with a pulley system and a drill all wood some steel new bolts At the top a deck Teepee fire pit and bbq Or buy it move it to your land and rebuild it there Electrical power line towers must be at auctions . . . Awesome idea when shtf and you have to rebuild a new home hidden

[@Aleta-uy8gt]

I'm excited about the upcoming new platform. Looking forward to it.🤗💚

[@Chass9999]

Cracks me up how many of the Bushcrafters are now going back to basics... I will keep watching you as you show things of interest.

[@davidtarbassian1490]

Another excellent video of adapt and overcome. Forever forward

[@stevewood9477]

Nice find. Watch tower in the woods. Great video. Love the shelter configuration. Poncho always comes through. You make the bow drill look easy. Looking forward to things to come.

[@45422]

outstanding AF.

[@usmcMike05]

You should definitely restore that tower!

[@warrenmeloling3897]

Now that’s cool

[@1985lsf]

Great vid! Finally bumped into another channel that mentioned you, he was using the word tactical continuously. Never going back there. Thanks for all you do!

[@phillipwingo60]

Cool tower.Lot's of stuff you can do with that.Keep up the good videos.

[@jameskelly1680]

If that watch tower is on your property, I'd reinforce it and fix it up. The structure is good, just needs a little bracing and tightening up. Then replace the rotted wood and make into what you want it to be. I'd build a cabin on the top level once it is beefed up.

[@liberalgunnut1592]

Outstanding! Keep up the fantastic work!

[@stephenparis495]

Cool discovery. Always enjoy watching the bow drill!

[@Hector-vx5yc]

Another outstanding video brother corporal Kelly!! Thank you so much for the tutorial!! I really suck getting fire with the bow drill, however, I’m not giving up!!! Your channel and content is outstanding and inspiring!! Nicely done brother!!with survival mastery!!👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿

[@DonalldArmentor]

If you haven't discovered him the David West Channel is great for a variety of primitive fire skills

[@michaelparrino5293]

Every week something new! Its awesome man.

[@troysimeona8748]

You’re doing everything right. Thank you

[@RichardYates-z3b]

Excellent video. That may have been an old Forestry FireWatch Tower back in the day. I spent a weekend in one many years ago. Everything was hauled up in a bucket with a pulley system. Toilet was a bucket in a corner of the top cabin. Food was cooked on a Coleman white gas two burner. Communication was an old crank phone with HQ. Good memories. A weekend was long enough. Liked the hammock, off the ground and dry and warm.

[@RAINSMAN79]

Hammock camping is my favorite

[@arthuralexander0918]

Wow! That’s a great idea on the hammock!

[@joshuabomar6974]

Survival Mastery sounds very interesting. Happy Memorial day . Than you for your service & good luck with the new ventures.

[@silentbutdeadly7032]

My Sunday is now a fun day!❤

[@gordonloree5341]

You make your own luck. Looking forward to the new platform.

[@BUZZKILLJRJR]

It's like a Bushcraft erector set!!! Thank you for your service again I've said it many times, have a good rest of your Memorial Day weekend.

[@melissafields3376]

Always enjoy your videos! You do it right 👍

[@thomasvosburg6926]

"Outstanding " stair way to heaven, real nice night

[@JerryBump-t3v]

There's disembodied stairways all over... most are super creepy and look like they came out of a house. This isn't the same

[@phyllisclark3896]

Thank you Corporal. It is always a pleasure to watch one of your videos ❤️🙏🇺🇸🫡

[@taurota1554]

Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along.

[@I_like_turtles]

I see you are rocking the Alice pack that you went over in your mid week vid ❤. Happy memorial Day and thank you for your service and your content

[@JimboFit]

Another awesome video! You are much appreciated brother 🙏

[@mattchaffin1133]

Welcome to hotel Corporals Corner. Would you like a room with a view? Great little video sir. Hope the hammock treated you well.

[@danfischer518]

Always love these videos!

[@dougcfrary]

Cool! Fun one, as usual! Semper Fidelis

[@kalstreksandtrails7606]

Awesome find. Another Outstanding A.F video my friend

[@breaking_bear]

I loved that spot on imitation of the sound of the bowdrill! Very satisfying sound.

[@eddierichardson1262]

I live Winslow, Indiana that is in Pike County in Southern Indiana. About 35 miles north of Evansville. We have a Fire tower at state forest. Young people use to climb in. They took the bottom layer out so no one could climb it.

[@toxichammertoe8696]

So this is a fire tower?

[@eddierichardson1262]

Ours goes all the way up and I think still has actual tower top. They took the steps out of the bottom part to keep people from climbing it.

[@kyletango]

Really liked this vid, can't wait to see what else you can come up with at this location.

[@chriskincaid6035]

Thank You ...

[@samuelschult985]

Perfect Hunting stand any trails 👍

[@bridgetmarden3345]

Late but here. Thank you Sir for another great/awesome video. Thank you for taking time to help teach us. You The Man 😊❤

[@kylebradley2988]

Thanks for being informative and entertaining. Happy Birthday 🎉🍻

[@JohnnyJuke]

Donkey Kong overnighter!

[@hendrickson674]

Hi Corporal. I been away from KZbin awhile dealing with family tragedies. Happened to be scrolling through my subs and saw this video. Abandoned place, beautiful scenery, forest sounds, it’s what I needed today. Hope all goes well with your new business ventures. Having to repeat yourself over projects, products, and plans is just the way of the world these days. Doesn’t bother me at all that you do it. Perhaps it does take away from valuable screen time, but we all need to make a buck to live on.

[@cjvigil8020]

Hooya. Outstanding as always. Will join today

[@brucehemming9749]

Great video thanks for sharing 🍻👍

[@darrinrebagliati5365]

Sorry I didn't get to watch yesterday, I was out practicing my survival skills! Left friday, tried a hammock. Saturday was a day at a high mountain beach. Sunday we blew a brakeline on the way home, had to improvise a repair to get home and fix it to go to work tday!

[@mattp1300]

Awesome Corporal! Long time subscriber. Im definitely joining survival mastery Thx!

[@martinwalker9386]

I worked a lookout in Montana that did not have a tower, just a cabin on Steamboat mountain out of Augusta.

[@anthonyparkinson1056]

Reminds me on days gone love it

[@stevennoble7254]

I love watching your show and I trust your next level stuff will succeed without a doubt you been climbing since day 1.Good on you Shawn I salute you...🤝

[@davidwright5580]

Another killer video as always

[@lucyalderman422]

That tower would be excellent for a deer hunting blind

[@tomg6214]

Outstanding AF again! Survival Mastery sounds like a great opportunity for you and us viewers!

[@foxhoundoutdoor8431]

Ive always gave the guidance, if youre gonna get a hammock, get the double or xl cause you have more room and like you showed, you can drape it back across you, awesome stuff Corporal!

[@jamesbooth3360]

I remember climbing manned towers and talking to the forester as a college student in NE Mississippi long ago. I always wanted one, but heck, I don't even climb the stairs in my house now except to change the HVAC filters if I can't avoid it.😂

[@Vester661]

Awesome content as always, thanks for sharing

[@imbadwrench]

Those composite boards are crazy expensive.

[@jodydorsett8726]

Glad to see that hammock back. I love a hammock in the summer.

[@terryshackelford712]

What a cool find in the tower! Good video! Thanks much for you time!

[@rtb7538]

Laminate flooring left lying around in the woods! Score!! That saves hours of work. Winning!
