Miss basic training do ya lol

[@james_lessick892]

I am watching"ALL" you're videos. You teach me so much, thank you.

[@hugodesrosiers-plaisance3156]

So many survivalist experts on KZbin yet you're one of the only ones to tackle the *super* important issue of handling our body wastes in a hygienic, responsible and practical way. Cheers for that.

[@jduff59]

Having the guts to tackle this subject is outstanding in itself. How many outdoorsman videos even mention the camp head? It's just like on TV when no one ever uses a bathroom. A+ in my book. This is a real thing and can make camp life much healthier.

[@RoostedFilms]

Outstanding! I really like how your never in a hurry but always move with purpose. Great explanations and clear instructions. Thank you sir

[@doncarleone973]

That's the military way!

[@sharonbfoehner1763]

Even Stevie Wonder can see how valuable this information is . Thanks bro

[@Oldsparkey]

I like your design for some comfort in the woods. On long canoe trips one of the guys made a thrown for all of us to use. He took an old , folding , lawn chair and attached a toilet seat ( minus the solid top section ) to the seat portion of it. Each afternoon after locating a campsite we would dig a good hole , unfold the chair and set it over the hole. Then attach an old Folgers , plastic , coffee container to the leg which held the toilet paper. On the water it was folded and placed in the bottom of the canoe and camping gear was put on top of it , keeping the gear out of any water that might get in the canoe. We paddled the quiet Florida rivers from a week on some to the longest one down the Suwanee River.

[@scotthummel4248]

Glad to see I'm not alone in that lol

[@MargoSki1959]

I am 62 years old. Thanks for showing it to other people.

[@shovelhead8]

Not many channels would go where you have just gone. It is a pretty important thing to have in the bush, that never seems to be shown. Thank you for the video, it is knowledge to keep for when it is needed

[@christopherbunik2116]

Great information, alot of great comments. Again thank you for your service.

[@dw1640]

The de-limbing is *very* important. Thanks for another great instructional video, Corporal!

[@SimbaOS]

This is the subject that so many youtube survivalists and bushcrafters usually avoid to talk about. LOL. Anyway, I discover your channel a couple days ago and I'm just impressed how it's easy to learn things when are presented and demonstrated in the right way. Thanks for sharing your military experience with us.

[@josephmckay9046]

If you spool the cord before you start wrapping, it will never catch any debris from the ground. It will also make life easier. Great video Soldier on.

[@dannodillon1222]

Joseph Mckay i was about to say the same thing until i saw this comment. Normally using cordage in the field, I don’t even cut my cordage from the spool or hanking that i have it in until I’m ready to finish my wrapping/frapping by tying the cordage

[@Gozerthegozarian1984]

I'm 60+ years old. Your latrine video convinced me that after first aid, knowing knots may be the most vital survival skill. I am on the verge or requiring the handicap bars beside a toilet, lol.

[@iitomodachi]

Grab bar for.... had me rolling!!! Coffe helps me keep those days to a min thankfully! As always, excellent vid!!

[@Gozerthegozarian1984]

Your videos are amazing. The camera angles and lighting make your teaching points so clear. Your dialog is focused and concise. The information is always vital and practical.

[@rickfrench5179]

Great idea. I used your concept but only tied to one tree. Having more of an angle is much easier getting on and off the Throne. Love you videos!

[@todd4480]

Hadn't thought of the trench. Every video, always some tip to make my camping better. Thank you

[@reverendfawkes6138]

I tell you what, Corporal. Your instructions were so clear that if someone slips up and has a shitty day, it's on them.

[@jamiewalker5216]

I realize this video is a couple of years old but after showing it to the females of our little hiking group, making it little lower and adding a couple of cross poles (bars) for sitting on got their approval. Some of our hikes have lasted about a week so this setup is better than squatting over a hole. Always learning something new from your videos.

[@draege626]

This is probably my favorite vid you've done. The straight laced hilarity and informative nature. Awesome!

[@clydeemmons1329]

Great job tackling a “crappy” subject with dignity and a bit of humor. Keep up the outstanding work Shawn.

[@TheForestbaker]

What a beautiful place to leave your mark! Great idea for long term use of an area. Keep em coming!

[@VtheInferno]

Subscribed and liked, not only for the great information you provide on your videos, but also because of the grab rail you made for the throne. 10/10, you know the feels.

[@mrkultra1655]

Another great one Corporal, rated #2 on my all time favorites list. Thanks.

[@bigmofo1122]

This guy is the best. I _literally_ wish i was digging shit holes with him. Outstanding!

[@JimKernix]

Absolutely excellent! Thanks for showing the total detailed lashing.

[@recall5811]

Thanks for watching it

[@richardpearson5036]

Thats an excellent frank zappa !! Love it !!

[@stephenfewson7188]

"Bite your lip, lean back and give it hell!".....lol

[@melvinhowell5469]

A classic! Great humor! Thank you, Sir!

[@gregjohnson9983]

Great timing! I leave next week to try some back woods camping. I'm gonna try to put a lot of what I've seen in your videos into practice. Especially a nice seated latrine!

[@standaffern6595]

Was just thinking about this subject this morning, and look what pops up in my feed! U tube must read my mind!

[@gary6212]

Please keep making this content - it is extremely valuable and helpful. You're doing really great work.

[@rickyfortuna4992]

I like the idea if camping for an extended period of time... For a quick trip I'd just make a shallow hole and bury it... You are very knowledgeable

[@mountainstatebushcraft6709]

Nice video Corporal! Much appreciated.

[@breaking_bear]

One of my favorite videos! I love learning new ways of making latrines. I like to dig an extra deep cat hole, as far as I can dig (usually to my shoulder). Then I find big rocks or boulders to use as a seat. Finally, I dig myself some stirrups, similar to a squatty potty. Great for birthing big dinners in the morning.

[@brassmanone]

Another great video. I did one close to this many years ago in Boy Scouts. Only difference was that I had the second horizontal pole higher in the back to have something to lean back on for those slow movements. The tarps were really appreciated. You can also rig a paper holder with a stick as a roller and string to hang it somewhere handy. Just don't leave the paper out in rainy weather.

[@alexodell4845]

[@Godswrathishere1]

I just recently found your videos and I have to say I LOVE THEM!!! So cool! Thank you for the information. They are all so informative.

[@KeepingItDutch]

We didnt have any trees in Iraq, but if we did I would have used this method because it sure beats burning diesel lol. Semper Fi

[@christopherslaughter2263]

Keeping It Dutch we used MRE boxes over a cat hole.

[@ColHatley]

HOOAH!

[@Iceman4Christ]

LOL! Hell ya, Oorah!

[@oktanis]

1. Thank you for your service! 2. You mean, like, you burned the stink pickles with diesel?? I'm not sure what you mean haha

[@Darignobullseye]

As always. Great video! Great ideas! A knot after tying a clove hitch. Fantastic idea to stop slipping! A bar to grab onto, to also stop slipping. :-). Thanks.

[@recall5811]

the grab bar works wonders.

[@larrymbouche]

I loved that grab bar overhead, but I'm still looking for the handicap ramp for old guys like me to get onboard. Plus,... You need a plastic coffee can on cordage hanging from the grab bar to hold the TP. The cover also will help keep the paper dry. Hint : connect the lid to a string to keep secure from falling into the Achky Poo. Enjoy

[@southerncharmer3474]

Great video about an under rated subject. Thanks from Alabama

[@davidleasure9138]

great teacher, attention to detail is excellent

[@toddstrickland2885]

Awesome video brother..... Love your channel and videos. So simple and so useful..... Now to remember all them.....lol I got a ton saved..... Keep up the good work and thanks for your time and service...

[@tom_olofsson]

Totally worth watching. Your sense of humor makes even a slit trench entertaining.

[@recall5811]

Share the tribal knowledge brother

[@fuckyourface4314]

Great knowledge taught on this channel thank you corporal sir

[@bushmansurvival5053]

Great video on a topic rarely discussed.

[@yebonuts]

I just love your jar head comedy!!!

[@MrWmburr7]

Great latrine, Brother. Thanks for the plan.

[@danielmaehren882]

Never even thought of something like this. Great video!

[@thebattousi1]

I would not put so much effort into a latrine, but then again I don't mind it rough hahaha. This was a great lashing demo and I "dig" your style.

[@kekipark77]

great idea. one suggestion / question, instead of having it so high your feet dangle, wouldnt it be better if your feet could touch the ground, so your legs dont fall asleep while conducting business?

[@Traderjoe]

“Nothings worse than getting poked in the bumchee while dropping a deuce” haha 👍🏻🤣

[@rachelanderson3147]

"We're smoothin it...even when we're dropping a deuce." Hahahahhaah

[@charles2007cm]

Got to love making squatting over a hole fancy lol. I made one of these in Boy Scouts years ago sure make things more comfortable.

[@survivalcomms]

Serious business. Thanks for sharing !

[@opalprestonshirley1700]

It was outstanding great coverage on a little addressed topic. atb Opal

[@stevenshytle]

What brand/model folding shovel do you use? So many of those type are junk and I am wanting a good one.

[@ubergamer0198]

Probably US Military surplus(maybe he payed for it and took it with him after active duty, idk)E- Tool

[@dlighted8861]

I have dropped a deuce against a tree in the field in minus twenty celsius weather.🤗 Now that I am older that hunkering down would be tough.🤗 Boy that cordage has some strength to it. I like that overhand knot to prevent slippage. "Something new,"😀

[@mikeoneill5239]

I was going to suggest this as a mid week video, but then i thought......I'd be willing to bet he covered this already. Sure enough KZbin popped it up for me to see.

[@maskaleynne]

Thanks for the information Corporal will use next time in the field.

[@ant7936]

At first, I thought, "That's a big latrine for one person"! But hygiene in a group is essential. One point you didn't mention; after use, throw a few spades of dirt on your "deuce", to cover it.

[@bnjmnwst]

He did talk about burying it, when he was talking about the single use "cathole."

[@David_Rafuse]

Or wood ashes if you're non-tactical and have a fire-pit going on.

[@sugarjohnson7402]

Dude, you should have totally shat in that thing at then end of the video. That would have been hilarious.

[@viciousKev]

Somebody named sugar would want to see some shit like that

[@sentinela8775]

You mean, dropping the deuce? 😂

[@jasminepina9058]

🤣 dude that s nasty

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

@@general5104 I'd like to hear the Cpl's thoughts on trying to survive "armageddon" i.e. WW3... Having served like the Cpl I know that it wouldn't be pretty in the end. The various movies depicting life after the "bomb" are truly mild compared to what it would be like.

[@matthewmay2663]

Love the videos man! BUT THIS ONE HERE! The most useful, need to know, info yet! Preciate it CPL😂

[@BK-oo1bl]

Great videos and thank you for your service

[@LivWildStyle]

Thanks for the videos. Very useful, as always.

[@alphanumeric1529]

Some pretty classic lines in here.

[@kenhadley6039]

The grab bar was a nice touch.

[@zyriab5797]

Wish I knew this method when we were living in the woods. Would have prevented me to walk in one of those shit pit, as we called them. Thanks again, Corporal !

Back in the scouts and explorers we called these a "Split Pole Latrine."

Exactly, and thanks for watching

[@kellerknives]

Good info we all should know and practice. great work.

[@recall5811]

Thank you

[@fonteeee]

Probably my favorite video to this day.

[@chriswood69]

Sure beats one cheeking an e tool, great video

[@josep2901]

I love your videos man they are awesome I'm going to the woods myself to try your videos.im going to try my best

[@zzzombiez]

Watch out for back blast. Semper Fi, Mike

[@richardharris2928]

That was outstanding!

[@badbassfishing9974]

Awesome video. I have seen a technique where the pooper uses the folding shovel as a seat to rest 1 butt cheek. Thanks for addressing this necessity.

[@philwilliams7153]

Ok nailed it. I was thinking neat outhouse. But. That ll. Do. Channel is amazing. New subscriber and hooked

[@driverdriver...9323]

I am slowly making my way thru your videos!!!! This would make a funny short...or even a remake by the off grid cabin...that I would post on Fakebook...js...keep up the hard work and great sense of humor my friend!!!!

[@snakemonkey555]

Thanks Cpl, love that ending, lol.

[@jefflarson4982]

I find it easier when tying lashings in that way to leave the free end coiled then I don't have so much pulling to do dragging it through stuff or possibly weakening the rope either. Leave enough to pull tight and good to go

[@nantahalawildman6345]

Smoothin it - good stuff.

[@scottjames8498]

Corporal you need to revisit this. All that bacon you been eating gill that latrine up!

[@keeboha43]

No "2" ways about it, very unique and informative... ✌

[@BrianGOlson]

Great video, and love the Grab bar! For your frapping, have you tried the marlingspike hitch? It's quick to make, it comes undone as soon as the stick is removed, and saves you from having to wrap and unwrap the cord around the stick each time.

[@andrewgordon9775]

thanks for still making videos

[@recall5811]

More to come

[@Colaaah]

Nice. "Just lean back, and give it hell" lmfao!

[@carsonb.7581]

Take some poles about 2" in diameter and long enough to go from the ground at the base of the tree to the bottom of your poles going across and just round lash them in place below the square lashings. Adds extra support, especially if something goes awry with a square lashing. Extra work but completely worth it.

[@jeromeknasinski3862]

Good Job.... I worked for the US Forest Service in New Mexico and your procedures are exactly the process we used in the Wilderness. Thank You. One Question: What is the tensile strength of the cordage you use??

[@jeromeknasinski3862]

Another Question: Do you tell your watchers to Always Return the area you disturb back to it's original status? In other words.... Leave No Trace. Excellent Videos, thank you for posting.

[@davidreeves8073]

Awesome Intel brother, how about a video about distracting snakes vision if you run across one but can't avoid it so you don't get bit by them.

[@allenbutler8520]

I couldn't help but notice the little bundles of pine around the 0:58 mark. Are they for wiping?

[@ufc990]

This is such a damn good tip I'm giving it its own playlist. I usually just shit at the base of a fallen tree or something and prop myself up with my elbows behind me.

[@MowenMcGuire]

Have not dug one since i was in Boy Scouts: the holding bar is a good addition. I was also trained to make 3 areas 1 sleeping, 2 latrine/hygiene, and cooking/ eating. I often wonder how many people actually dig a hole as the bare minimum. We also had to make a kitchen grease trap, to try and control pest like houseflies and animals.

[@blacksheep6821]

That WAS outstanding! Thanks!

[@nik96nik]

The grab bar! Perfect for those hard nature shits! Haha great video Corporal

[@amrasurvival5580]

very good video a mostly over looked part hanging out in the woods

[@recall5811]

If you are not smoothing it then something is wrong, thanks for watching

[@izonker]

I've gotta say , I would definitely be paying attention to de-limbing the seat poles- especially the front one, because,, as Nobody's grandpa would have said , "while a shorn scrotum might be seen as keeping things neat, a Torn scrotum in the woods gonna be a bear to treat..."

[@ramonepedgio5964]

Your videos have come a long way.

[@ATSW-FX4]

Love this video. I noticed it’s 3 years old. Do you still run this type system, or have you updated it at all. Typically we just dig a hole for 3-4 days but now I’m getting older and fatter and squatting over a hole is getting harder and harder. Any suggestions?

[@mandy7684]

I like your sense of humor. You usually have me laughing at something, thanks Corporal. BTW the cat hole scene at the end of the video is a mental picture stuck in my memory, now. Thanks?
