[@persistentgamer7285]

underrated channel. so simple and straightforward guides.

[@recall5811]

Agreed, and I don't know what to do to fix that, however thanks for watching

[@persistentgamer7285]

if you have free time, make a website, do some journal entries with some diagrams, maybe advertise in some online places, etc. that and just stick with KZbin.. or you can livestream on Twitch some survival stuff, it's really big and gets lots of attention. With your knowledge of how-to, you'd be surprised how popular you'd get.

[@ADVRaven]

I wish I could download your videos to take with me on trips. They are so well explained and demonstrated. Your videos should be in any survival kit.

[@phyllismulkey3778]

good demo

[@coolman6233]

wth? ive noticed youtube is unliking my likes 2 ur videos sir,, grrrr i know i liked this video earlier 2day.

[@floridaescapades4837]

If you have a hammock, you can use the same frame with the hammock rather than buying the camp chair. Just fold your hammock in half Over the piece of wood. Then hang both loops over the top of the Tri pod Good channel. Always interesting. Lots of useful information.

[@davidleasure9138]

Good job Corporal. Your lashing are picture perfect. Super neat, a work of art. I know that comes from your training. Thank you for your service.

[@petten33]

This is such a decent, intelligent channel. Much appreciated. Semper Fi

[@Gamingwithgrandpa420]

Outstanding! Pure gold. When backpacking for days, having a comfortable camp (and chair) can actually make the difference between enjoyment and toil, survival and disaster. You must be able to rest when not laboring. I have been applying the knowledge you're sharing and WOW, the techniques and knots really work! Thanks again, Cpl., and please keep 'em coming.

[@hearts.guitarworks]

I'm not saying the video was bad, but i like your video's without music. Love your videos!

[@houstonsam6163]

I've said it before and I'll say it again : your instruction is second to none. Outstanding.

[@rexj.weinheimer2279]

Great video Corporal! Kudos to "The Hidden Woodsman" for this "outstanding" product. The design and usage got me to "imagining" that by doubling (or so) the length of the "Camp Chair" fabric and sewing a few side-mounting tubes, the piece could be multi-tasked and could also be configured as a cot, a litter or a travois. I admire your talent, your dedication and your very fine tutorials. Press On!

[@danthieman7858]

Best part is its made in the USA, but I know what you meant. Thank you for your service to the citizens of this awesome country and thank you for the great information.

[@bushcraftnorthof6012]

I picked up a poly net hammock designed for hanging kit, but I’m going to repurpose it for a bushcraft chair and my woodsman’s bed. Loving your channel. Binge watching while the thunderstorms roll through. Take care. And thanks.

[@wntu4]

Funny thing, when we climbed Mt. MoFo I don't remember any of the DI's being worried about 'smoothing it.' :)

[@capecodcanal]

Top notch lightweight setup! And a good way to reduce the physical stresses of outdoor activity!

[@monicajones8450]

I wish I had you along the first time I tried to make a chair like that. My boys are still laughing at me. Thanks for sharing

[@falcon1349]

T shirt If Your Not Smoothin It, Somethings Wrong

[@michael4001]

I can't locate the material for the chair. The woodsman no longer sells it. Any links to purchase??

[@Craigsgotgame]

9:16 "This is outstanding!" Looks like your out sitting to me!

[@Ahmetbushcraft]

Thank you very much I will definitely do the same👍🔥🤗🤠

[@texashillbilly6148]

Dude, you make the best instructional videos. Thanks for the tip about paracord stretching.

[@KahlestEnoch]

I have learned how to tie so many knots from you, this is great never had the opportunity to learn knots as a kid.

[@ForemanMade]

Nice chair! I liked the background music as well

[@obrian1882]

Step by Step instruction never fails. Mil Instruction at its best. TYFYS.

[@davidleasure9138]

Excellent teaching and visual demonstration

[@anderssvensk4317]

Simple and comfortable, brilliant! You have a nack for teaching others. I would have follewed you in any mission of a conflict, sir. From one soldier to another - semper fi.

[@williammaurer9450]

Excellent video, crystal clear instruction & the camera set ups seemed particularly well thought out. Haven't watched your videos for a while ... You're getting Good! ... KUDOs.

[@JeffLatimer]

Great vid. Love this idea. I’m going to make one of these for sure. A buddy of mine and I were in the woods last weekend and made a bench to sit on. This would have been much easier and probably more comfortable. I could see modifying this just slightly using a prusik knot on the “ridge pole” so you could tie the top of the chair through it and then you could adjust the back up and down to lay back some if you wanted. The “camp lay-z-boy” of sorts. Might require a longer pole or taller “struts” to get it just right, but that would all be fine. I could see you being able to turn it into a combo plow point shelter and a chair almost like you did with your recent vid where you made a cooking fire where your seat might go. Lots of possibilities. Keep up the great videos!

[@MrSurviverman]

I think that you should call your son "Mini Me"

[@TroopLeader]

A square lashing is recommended in lieu of a diagonal lashing, the purpose for which is to close the gap where two poles cross but don't touch. The advantage with the square lashing is there's more surface area between the cordage and the poles, and hence a more secure hold.

[@silvermountainman2562]

My brother made a chair like this years ago, and he loves it. I purchased the hidden woodsman chair, and plan on building my first one tomorrow. Thanks for the tutorial, I definitely needed it … 👍🏻

[@jasoncampbell6536]

Great Video, simple and to the point, no fluff!!!!!

[@redapple3256]

Did anyone else catch the unusual ethereal music in the background of this mystical bushcraft camp chair video 😂 have I missed that he’s had it in all the other videos or is this just a this one 😂 I think it’s hilarious 😆

[@wmluna381]

Yes, the older videos were an experiment with the background music it seems.

[@hootypatootie]

What do you do with a structure like this when you leave? Leave it there for later or someone else, or break it down and then... do something with the poles?

[@recall5811]

if it is my camp I leave it in place, If not I leave no trace, thanks for watching

[@twotonanchor]

Well Cpl you sold one. The hammock seat got me.

[@rvroutdoors2131]

Totally bought one too. I got a cool canvas stool from Graybearded green beret too. Now I just need the canvas cot that works with similar concept and my life will be complete

[@Namesi]

Shit goes south, you are going to be a valuable man to know. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

[@jaybenton546]

I really like Bush craft projects like this.

[@shadowlord5574]

First time seeing this video. Well done sir 👍

[@Traderjoe]

You have the coolest looking sticks in that area.

[@Smootus]

Wow, good bushcraft knowledge in the lashes. Well done, sir! Thanks for posting this video!

[@dannyh9010]

Great piece of gear! I made some of these a couple years back out of a single yard of hammock fabric. It's much lighter, and probably less durable then yours, but it is very comfy. I made a couple of short whoopie slings and use one at the top (vs. your mule tape loop) when I'm using it in chair mode, that way it is adjustable for length and recline/sag. I use two whoopie slings when I use it as an under-hammock gear shelf to keep my pack and other stuff off the ground, but still in reach when I'm in my hammock. In the stuff sack I also made for it, everything is smaller than a soda can, and weighs just under 3 ounces.

[@mr.delacruz559]

Awesome video! Glad to see a video on The Hidden Woodsmen Bushcraft chair! Only found one other one. Awesome piece of gear!!

[@butterballjitsucampcraft7394]

Camp chair was the first thing I learned to sew. Super relaxing after hiking. Slack the top and snooze. Thanks for the smoothing it tips.

[@thomasgold-1000]

It’s a great gadget to have for a base camp type of setting - I like it!

[@lyndacompton1846]

Thank you you would be fun to Camp with a person could learn so much actually I need a she shed built in my backyard but I guess you wouldn't be interested in that

[@johnlbales2773]

Beautiful chair and nice meditative music. Well worth watching. 👍👍👍👍👍 😀

[@pabmanu1]

great technique, thank's you, I'll share it to my my scout's unity site...

[@wightoutdoors3738]

Nicely explained. Here in the UK we make the seat as a draw string bag. Handy for carrying out a wet tent or tarp. Keep up the good work.

[@GerardoSArata]

Will it work to leave horizontal pole untied? Using the your own weith to support it. Been able so each one adjust its unique comfortable height.

[@blackhatbushcraft]

Beautiful chair and fantastic filming and editing Shawn! raising the bar for sure bro!

[@alanchinn7259]

Hi there. Brilliant chair. Please could you send me the link, so I can buy one of these canvas chair, i can’t find one. Much appreciate it. Alan 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@halsonger1317]

Nice video and a great idea. We have a couple of Scouts who always forget to bring a camp chair with them on campouts, then spend the whole time complaining. I can show them how to make this and get them to sit down and be quiet! One question though: is there a reason you start your diagonal lashings with a timber hitch instead of a clove hitch? Or is that just a personal preference?

[@recall5811]

I like to show that there is always more than one way to do something, also It gives people an excuse to practice, thanks for watching

[@williamolliges2622]

Camp Chair = "Eleventh Essential" in my troop and they still get it wrong.

[@reighleymurphy7569]

Hey Corporal, enjoyed the video. Quick constructive comment: your audio was a bit cluttered in the beginning between the running water, music, and your voice. They all meshed well, just found the music detracting from your voice from time to time. Also I was curious if you have any techniques for taking care of your hands in the field, keeping them moisturized and sealing small cuts (preferably in a natural and renewable fashion perhaps something similar to your yucca soap video)? Looking forward to more of your vids.

[@susanmills145]

Thank You this. It solves the Bush~Seat "problem". Beautifully Simple .

[@brucegreen1490]

Dude, what's with the new age music in the background? I was expecting heavy metal or even "Halls of Montezuma".

[@WoodlandSugarAnimal]

I've been a subscriber for a few years now, I watch these videos enough your voice has replaced Morgan freeman's voice for internal monologs, it's very awesome to find these "unseen by me" videos still, just like a fat gold nugget in the KZbin gravel

[@hamsta218]

Something to try, A shortish sail makers whipping makes a neat and perfectly symmetrical tripod. Not suitable for everything but handy trick to know.

[@plywoodcarjohnson5412]

Genius. If u have a hammock or a big blanket maybe it works if you fold it around the supportlog, and back uptop ? Worth a shot.

[@cristymenapace677]

Bank line!!! Thank you! I kept calling it marine line and nobody ever had it🤣 Great chair too😊🙌

[@dianeingalls5025]

I am going to try and this chair but would like it to be closer to the ground so I can extend my legs out plus want chair to fit under a low overhang on my Ozark Trail Bivi Tent (Walmart). Can you recommend how to alter your plans? shorter poles I suspect? No experience building things here but want to learn. You are most helpful in this video... Well done!

[@TheWordtraveler]

Love your vids, brother! Best knot instructor on KZbin! Thank you for your service!

[@tdel657]

Love This! Gotta do itI I'm thinkin' the chair, some russet potatoes with bacon and a cold beer. Thank for your (continuing) service!

[@sdsurfer8152]

Corporal, what specific bank line are you using for the majority of your supports when dealing with heavy and stout builds to ensure strength? I keep forgetting mule tape. I haven't use mule tape since I was an electrician.

[@DavidChouiniere]

I have seen several videos like this but I like your chair best. Thanks for the video.

[@recall5811]

Thanks but unfortunately I will not get the views like the other channels, thanks for watching

[@teresakines8888]

Make sure you separate two of the poles so your shoulders fit between them for the most comfortable position.

[@chrisrip9957]

No blah blah, functional good information done well, thanks buddy.

[@brrjohnson8131]

I have a piece of red nylon already sewn like this. I took it off a broken aluminum folding chair. I was only interested in the scrap aluminum. I didn't toss the fabric (yet). I'm tempted to try this, if only because I already have the seat. Totally doable.

[@colewebb4643]

Thank you corporal Kelly good vlog 👍have good night ⛺ C😎😎L

[@amypeterson4615]

I am going to try to do this. I ordered the fabric. I have the bank line. Now I just have to find a wooded area where I can harvest 4 perfectly straight poles that are 2" in diameter and all of sufficient length that I can cut to 6' and 5'. Whew, I am getting excited!

[@stephensimpson3962]

Awesome vid been a fan since the fighting pit video

[@orionthedefender985]

You could probably do this by doubling your hammock, passing the lower cross member through at fold.

[@richardleesaner4382]

Corporals corner thank you my name is Richard and they follow you I love everything you teach us and me keep the good work

[@williamhowk6743]

Dude, the music choice on this video is crackin' me up! great stuff, Thank you sir

[@davidhorsey7164]

You can use a Hessian grain or "sugar" bag to make this it also makes a handy backpack with rope or even a bed if threaded over 2 logs you used to buy grain layer pellets for chooks chaff etc in them even potatoes in the old days

[@shawnr771]

Cool idea. But if I had something that comfortable I would not get anything else done.

[@aaronwhite7110]

Are u interested in having an apprentice? I would like to exchange labor for teaching. My ultimate goal is to homestead one day. However I do not have the skills to do it. Please let me kno on how to reach u further if u are interested

[@moorshound3243]

Wow 4 years ago. Comfortable maybe I could do this with hazel?

[@artemnord4074]

У нас в России на Урале в этой конструкции применяют советскую плащ-палатку.

[@thomasvielkind]

Thanks for that video! Nice greetings from Austria!

[@GrasshopperOutdoors]

Excellent tutorial and something I will be trying out. Not a big fan of background music but that is irrelevant. Thumbs up.

[@stevestumpy6873]

With out the tarp seat this looks like it would make a better throne then the trench in-between two trees or woodsmen throne. Letting you move it each evening, and filling in the hole so that nothing comes around at night. I like to see yea make a bath tub for clean up yourself, out of a water proof tarp..

[@graymann]

Another great video corporal but I have to say what the f is going on with the music in the background

[@MilliettcPcos]

This looks amazing. I want to make one of these pieces of cloth so I can have a go. What is the type of cord you are using to lash the tripod together please?

[@kitbenson8078]

I love your vids but the music in this one was very distracting and intrusive. Fabulous chair!

[@TheKalkara131]

Man, this music is crazy dramatic. I feel like someone is dying to this song

[@Styzer.]

your knowledge is outstanding... thanks for the video

[@oleksii_yershov]

Hi. You do not have to fix horizontal log. In this case the chair will be more confortable.

[@josephlinares96]

In one of your video I believe you had a lil tripod stool or am I mistaken? What's the make and model if I'm correct

[@michaelrosnerjr1288]

Outstanding don't remember watching but came back to the video mabe do a update on it hand's on is always the best

[@chrisemmert1387]

The material for that chair could be made from a 5x8 tarp doubled over and tied at the upper end with the lower end just folded over the lower branch.

[@michaellong3598]

the only thing i dont like about this is every time i unload my pack with something . you show me how to add another ! LOL thanks !

[@brooklynman78]

Never saw this before, this is great,....definitely gonna do this

[@charanckck]

Can you please tell me how far the poles have to be separated so that it can be stable. I wanted to know the approximate angle of separation of the poles. Thanks

[@mem7048]

I use military issue laundry bags myself. Just cut a small slit on each side on the bottom and hem it. Rope on top cinches it shut and allows me to tie it to the tripod.

[@southernwanderer7912]

You are one of the best instructors out there. I always learn so much watching your videos.

[@ADVRaven]

If you are a heavier guy (I'm 250) should you do more fraps on the base? Or are 3 of them enough?

[@AFamilyOutdoors]

Fantastic video again! Keep the educational video’s coming!

[@richardwalter9055]

Great job! Looks very comfy. Just like that!

[@michaelspencer7596]

Great detailed video, love it, keep doing what you do . Corparal

[@trevor_corey8037]

Doesn’t have the camp chair fabric on website anymore, any idea where to get one these days?

[@eddygammill]

I've been watching you for a while and I can say that you are a great teacher your correct and squared away Af
