You've hopefully been told 100 times on here before, but... thank you for the service you have done on behalf of all Americans (USMC) wether they care or not who defends them, and thanks for all the great vids you provide. God bless by friend...

I like that you get to the point and don’t waste 5 minutes getting to it or meandering off topic. Love your channel.

[@CRM08]

Amen to that!

[@michaellee4744]

Still like your old videos...outstanding as always ..freedom for all people...

[@patriciafrazier8739]

My husbands favorite KZbin channel. You sir are a great American. Love your vids we always learn something

[@canopus101]

What I like about this channel is the continuous repitition of things that work. A lot of the content is similar to Dave Canterbury's instruction sessions, but, where Dave explores different ways of doing things Corporal's Corner repeats. This is not to say I dislike Dave Canterbury's Pathfinder videos, I have learnt a huge amount, the concentration on a few techniques is useful to reinforce skills for beginners. Corporal Kelly always uses the same ridgeline set up, Dave will show a few different ways. I recommend this channel to those who are young or starting out, get familiar with simple, effective methods and then look at Dave Canterbury videos for a value added experiece.

[@kerrmoney]

Quickly becoming my favorite go-to bushcraft channel!

[@andrewjohnson3587]

Love that hammock configuration looks comfortable

[@JarlSeamus]

Like some other posters have said, I love how you continually reinforce fundamentals. Without the basics, you can't gain proficiency in more advanced skills and unless you do these things a lot, it's perishable knowledge. Oilskin is a seriously old time material, and is pretty good at being water repellent for a decent amount of time, but it's important to note that that material is significantly heavier to carry and it will wet through like any army duck. It also loses it's water repellent nature over time as the wax/oil finish wears out. OUTSTANDING, once again, and Semper Fi.

[@sharonmccomas4173]

Corporal's Corner you are awesome thank you for your work and help

[@jasonplant5432]

Thank you for serving! I love my beutifull county and I absolutely dig the many great things I get to experience because of folks just like you sir. And you still are contributing in the most wonderful way to educate people about the subjects of self reliance. Thank you Corporals Corner.

[@ltwvideonline]

The best info in these videos is often subtle. For me, the secret in this one was using the line coming off the ridgeline to pull out the center on the plow point. The tarp hammock is pretty slick too! Great stuff!

[@kostantinopsilakis3187]

Corporal corner is a genius👍👍👍🎄🎄🎄🎅🎅🎅

Nice tarp. Looks very "old school". Great color too. Respect. Salute.

[@mojavemax3687]

You had me at 2:22. Very nice illustration of what a locked bowline should look like, as well as how to tie the trucker. And then, it only got better. Thanks for your time and effort.

[@fransbester5932]

I liked that hammock!

[@BrosephRussell]

Awesome setup very versatile

[@grimmwolf100]

What a great video. Very professional. Also I like the music. Thank you for also taking the time to pause and show us the not work.

[@patrickalaggio3560]

I have one in my trunk but never realized how versatile it is. Thanks for this tutorial!

Impressive knot tying skills! I clearly need to improve in that department. Thanks so much for your great presentation.

[@savedmonkoutdoorschannel8930]

Mine is a 10x10. I love it!!! Great testing and setups! Nice Job

[@0861joe]

Thanks again for another outstanding period of instruction! If you could in the future please do a video on how you stow your gear for the night. Like what you do with your boots to keep the creepy-crawlies out. what you do will your next days clothing to keep them dry. This is a topic that I don't see on youtube. Keep up the good work and Semper Fi!

[@-Honeybee]

Perhaps to answer your question, I hang my boots upside down on some pegs in the ground under my tarp. Never had a problem. Give em a shake just in case if you're nervous. As for the clothes, wrap them up in a waterproof bag and keep it SHUT.

[@scottjames8498]

Been looking for a different tarp. Thanks!

[@annabouthillier9115]

A very versatile tarp, good video,

[@recall5811]

+Tristan K Thanks

[@denisdegamon8224]

I have been into rendezvous pre 1840 living history for about 40 yrs. All of my tentage has been from Tentsmiths. They make truly the best tents & tarps anywhere. It's too bad the owners retired last year. I was able to replace my old bell wedge that I have had for over 15 yrs with a new one and a 13'x13' tarp before they closed shop.Their workmanship and seam work is second to non.

[@DariusFLX]

Outstanding! You never fail to amaze. Thank you!!

[@craigbrewer433]

its funny watching these videos and i have gotten my setup nearly identical to yours. i even used some paracord the other day to make a clothesline in the bedroom so my fiance's alpaca wool poncho could hang to dry. i used a simple bowline on one hook and the truckers hitch on the other and gotit without even trying. that setup is very fast and i plan on keeping it in my repertoire for future use.

[@Edogawa1117]

Great gear. Cheers for sharing this video with us.

[@recall5811]

+Edogawa1117 Thank you Sir

[@ericmix1597]

Hey now! I was brought up in the woods, so frankly most all of your stuff is pretty old hat for me. That said, your presentation is outstanding, and very informative for those who may not know. Keep up the good work. Semper Fi!

Another excellent review and demonstration. I am an old broken down veteran. You make things look easy and simple. I wonder how this would do on your bunk beds. Keep em coming. De Opresso Liber

[@cephasmcpher67peteroutdoorspip]

That tarp is very impressive but what I found more impressive was the plow point configuration done with a ridge line, that is a first for me, very nicely done. Oh,,,and I will be copying it lol, thanks.

[@ozdavemcgee2079]

Your knots are great. On the truckers knot there is another way to put the pulley bit for want of a better term in. Its pretty simple just involves a few twists and comes undone easy. Maybe you know of it already. Your way is interesting I'll rewatch and try that too.

[@unkldave427]

great stuff, as usual... ;-)

[@trapper3707]

Soooooo I was lookin for one of these tarps today and why I didn’t check everyone’s favorite Corporal idk. Anyways The grey bearded one said we spend all this money on bush craft knives and don’t use them. He had one of these tarps so screw it I’ll buy one and bush it up. Thanks for the video and thank you for your service

[@trytheoutdoors]

Very helpful. Thankyou for making this.

[@Morthok]

great video's! always the best backgrounds. Mind if I ask what mountain range you are in?

[@scottm6927]

I'm assuming that is the same oilskin that you just used on the bushcraft frame in this past Sunday's overnighter video. Four years old still looks new. That's quality stuff!

[@thatguy4745]

This is awesome and I appreciate your attention to the knots, but I'm gonna stick with a bedroll.

[@Patriotalliance]

Great setups, awesome piece of gear.

[@RalphReagan]

Love the Paul Harrell music

[@jeffbuzzard6837]

Good video, I need to get one of those tarps.

[@recall5811]

+Jeff Buzzard It is well worth the money

[@jamescarmean2701]

Nice configurations, good knot choices. I would reconsider the one where part of the sheet is folded out to be your ground cloth. If you got much rain or from the wrong angle, that water would come in under your gear and sleeping bag, Maybe fold that flap in by at least one third, but that was the only thing I would take issue with. Thanks for the variety of configurations and the excellent efficient way you presented them. Good sound and photo values as well. I subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your work. Where was this filmed?

[@recall5811]

+James Carmean It is called an envelope and it actually works well with a camp fire. thanks for the support

[@gagetman69jeffhebert32]

lol was searching something else and came across this video , as always great video. guess i need to just search your videos seems i'm always back here for information

[@gerrywashack9373]

I do 18th century living history and at big events, 1000 plus camps, Tentsmith's canvas products are everywhere and considered by many to be the cadillac of tents. Excellent video, I really like the knots that you used. I will hit the susscribe button. thanks!

What??? An educational video, that was TO THE POINT, and not loaded with heavy metal music? How could this be,,.... ps THANKS VERY NICE!!

[@michaelskinner1777]

great review

[@MrDlanglois]

Hi Nicely done video. A suggestion for a simpler way than prussik and toggles would be to leave a short cord on tarp loops. Then use rolling hitch to attach to ridge line. Just a suggestion. Have not seen anyone doing it this way. I am a sailor.

[@baroneb5043]

I was in the market for a ground tarp to use under my Aqua Quest defender tarp... I went on Tentsmith Site ... Im sure they make a great product but their prices are extremely high... Their cheapeast tarp was 175.00 ... for a 7 ounce tarp... I went on " Tarp Nation " bought a 6' x 10" water resistant canvas tarp with SS grommets 2' apart for $ 53.00 delivered... I have not received it yet & im assuming it will be considerably heavier than the Tentsmith Tarp but I dont mind carrying the extra LB. or 2 ..... Not that you care but I will let you know how it wrks out... best luck ...

[@marleeblanchette]

I'll have my Tentsmiths 8x8 this week, now I know I also have another hammock! Curious what you do for maintainace on this tarp? Rinse and dry? Any extra wax needed after years of usage to keep it from leaking at the seam?

[@michael3573]

I’d already subscribed to your account some time ago. Was wondering what happened. So I’m subscribed again, great video.

nice, I wanna know how long these really last

[@spnbst]

+Adam Smith canvas will last for decades if you store it where it will not dry rot. also mice and rodents will eat cotton canvas,so don't store where they live or feed.I spent 1400 dollars on a a cotton canvas wall tent and had the little bastards eat 10 or 12 holes in it.i patched it and no longer store in my barn.It is 9 years old and aside from the patches is still in great shape.I imagine having oil in the canvas would increase its life span

[@bruceosborne1892]

Great! Thanks for sharing.

[@mikelipsey8837]

Another great video! Thanks! Question: For packing, wouldn't a standard ground cloth (nylon?) be much lighter and cheaper, though?

[@recall5811]

+Mike Lipsey Of course it would and that is the beauty of it, you carry what works for you. Thanks for watching

[@TankCombat]

Looks like it's worth the extra cost for the heavy duty center loop. Have you been able to give it some field use to test wear and tear this fall?

Would you say the 8 x 8 is the most versatile size? I'm a smaller guy, I'd say around 5' 7", maybe 130 pounds, would you suggest maybe a 7 x 7? Or do you think regardless of your size an 8 x 8 is the most practical?

It’s been 5 years. Are you still using this tarp? I’ve been thinking about it but they do weigh a lot and cost a lot

[@The.Alabama.Woodsman]

So, now that you have had this for a while, what is your current opinion? Still use it? Worth the money? Too heavy? Better options?

[@darrinmartin5375]

I must say I prefer the "pup" tent A-frame set up my self. Though in warmer weather, hammocks are much more comfortable.
