TH-cam clearly has a thing against certain people. They don't apply the same algorithm and notification posting across the board. They favor those people they want to promote, not necessarily who should be promoted. Then they shadow ban those they want fewer people to see. I have noticed my notifications being expired on my phone earlier for some channels (significantly earlier than others for this channel) and some almost never expire as they will stay in my notification drop down for days afterwards. I almost never see a notification for this channel longer than two hours in my notification dropdown on my phone. Obviously the notification will still stay in my TH-cam subscriber notification list, but if anyone else is like me, I depend on my phone notification menu drop-down to see the newest notifications, and I don't scroll through my notification list for all the channels I've ever subscribed to directly within the app. I reported my feedback to TH-cam a few months ago with my observations and how much I don't appreciate how that works about it, but they never responded back.
Corporal, I get most notifications, but even as old as I am, (70), I remember to check for your video. I may need to use this knowledge you share if Joey keeps in office. Be safe. God bless 🙌 😊
You are absolutely correct about physical fitness. Disease disabled me. It doesn’t matter what I have previously done in my life. Without physical fitness, a person is useless. No matter the knowledge they possess. I am not giving up. But, so many things are either impossible for me to do, or, in the very least, very difficult to do. Take care of your health!
Hi everyone I think Shawn deserves much more subscribers this guy is the James bond when it comes to surviving in the bush what ever you expect you on the right channel 😊
Hey Shawn, that’s why I always watch your channel. You actually build things, educate and demonstrate very well. Your not a talker but a do..er. which I appreciate. Thank you!
As I've found ," once you get off the couch, and try it in the woods, you're actually learning something , and remember it." If you lived it you know it. Thanks for reminding all the armchair outdoorsmen, that only play in the sunshine. Like the , I still got it. Motivation for life.
I really miss my Summer of 1993 MCRD Basic Training "Feild Book". Oogh-Rawh brother! If anything, your "Mid-Week Video's" make me miss Basic Training... If it hurts, it works.
Sure hope those geese didn't get you. Mean bastards. I love these rope bridges, this and rappelling were always my favorite thing to train when I was in. I remember in boot camp, the Sergeant Major kept shaking my one rope bridge and telling me to fall off. "Hey, fall off already!" When I became an NCO, I got to enjoy messing with privates much the same way. I recommend mushing one's squad like a dog team down the beach and having squad races on mandatory fun days.
Great video, having a good understanding of knots is such an under appreciated skill. It can literally be the difference between life and death in dire situations, and even outside of camping or rappelling, it can make life easier just in general.
Great job ! 75 year old man . I may not be dragging myself on a rope , but I don’t need an electric shopping cart to get my groceries . Keep up the good work.
Impressive. I hated the slide for life. I couldn't maintain balance on top. Good to see 90's era Marines that still got it. !. I need to re-get it...SFMF. look forward to your vids
As always, thank you. You bring back a lot of good memories (mostly) from basic. I also must compliment your work ethic and determination, a lot of our kids could use a good dose of Corporal’s Corner medicine in their lives. Keep up the great work.
Shawn, you made that look easy, LOL! I know it isn't easy, but your training and practice gives you the proficiency to make it look easy. I imagine there are tricks you could employ to get an injured person across the ravine/river, or someone who's afraid of heights, etc. My first thought was something like a stretcher, suspended from the rope bridge with the incapacitated person strapped into it, towed behind someone crossing--or pulled across by someone who already crossed. Even if you had to make an improvised "stretcher" out of something like your 55-gallon drum liners & a frame--similar to the elevated beds you've made in previous videos. I can see it in my head, but I don't know if I'm explaining it well. In any case, great video! Thanks! --Dan
AF!!!!! I Gary van zyl respect you Mr kelly I honestly think you tube should give more of what ever you lack 100 fold because you love what you do and share your wisdom in good honest faith
Thanks Corporal. I was able to work with this a little a very long time ago when I was in the Civil Air Patrol. During one of our weekend search and rescue classes. This IS NOT easy! Even at 16 and only about 140lbs., and pretty fit, this was damn tough.
My only addition- I carry a 4th Carib. I attach it from my belt (riggers) and hang using it while my hands pull me across. If it’s really high, I’ve used a pulley to assist with the weight. Awesome video.
I appreciate the bit about the importance of physical fitness. As someone who's carrying a little more weight then I should, it's helpful to have that kick in the pants every now and again.
Amazing! You are to be commended for keeping yourself physically fit; & for setting a good & very challenging example for your viewers to follow! At age 82, that is beyond my ability; but I am capable of improving if I set my mind to it. Thanks for challenging us with personal example!
I like the honesty in "someone has to eat it". I wonder, in actual bushcraft honesty, eat it once and save having to again, or find a new route. Always great vids and the best techniques.
We had to build this in a one week course that included land navigation, E&E , rappelling and demolitions in Alaska. Our cadre were Rangers from Ft Richardson
Practiced this over and over and over again across Ship Creek just outside of Fort Richardson Alaska during a salmon run. I was the desiginated swimmer and had to fight the current as well as all the fish to get across, I was a stinky wet mess that day.
Your right about fitness. Going across the rope bridge is not as easy as you make it look. Ive done it many times in the military. Im going to do this with my grandkids. Great skill to teach them plus a fun activity for them. Thanks for all you do.
Excellent instructions with explanation and examples. I have watched your original video a couple times over the years. I hope any who watch the original, watch this one for additional new content. See YOU! Sunday 😊
Thanks Shaun I agree with you about being fit and I'm getting back there,but it's not easy after you've let it go. I'm grateful for you I know you're the real deal.
I knew you were in shape when I saw you digging all those fighting position bunkers. I did stuff like that when i was young, and it just about killed me then.
This brings back many memories of when we bult rope bridges in JROTC. I thought after I joined the Army that we'd use this skill often but after basic it was put to the side for other important skills relating to the mission. Great video as always, Sean!
I watch you all the time you are very good at passing information on, hou work loads and deserve more recognition, respect from an English army veteran
Its funny you brought up someone talking down about you and your channel because I just watched one the other day. With all the shit talk and everything said the guy still had to admit that you get out every week, make videos and sweat more during your morning shit than a lot of other content creators do in months or something along those lines. You put out these videos and they will get multiple views from me and some of them dozens of views from me. To hell with the nay-sayers your videos are badass!
With two alpine butterflies, one man can pull the work of seven! Do as Corporal Kelly, but tie a second alpine after coming around the tree. Then take your running end through the far alpine and back through the near alpine, repeat until you have 3 or 4 windings. This works as a Block and Tackle, multiplying your effort at the cost of less movement. I use this trick to create stiff ridgelines while camping, and it could certainly be used here.
Incredible! First of all, thank you for your service! 🇺🇲❤ Second to that, thank you for sharing your knowledge, expertise and experience! Especially teaching me how to tie trustworthy knots! I really appreciate you Sir.
Yep, you still got it! It's not the age, it's the mileage...boy do I feel that one! Remember, the more the mileage, the higher the maintenance! Keep taking care of yourself, because the older you get the tougher it gets. I'm in my 60's.(It comes quickly) Every hill seems steeper, and every pound feels heavier. Old injuries haunt you, and unfortunately, new health issues arise. This is the brutal truth! On a separate note: Your work ethic is evident, as is your determination to succeed. Detatchting yourself from the old ball and chain life, was a great choice. Your loyals, see your renewed energy. Glad you chose not to wither on the vine! Great job!
These tips are very useful in many ways thanks for going out your way and putting tons of time snd effort into this video and every 1 you drop i among many others value each 1.And like some said youtube isn't doing your channel justice.
I seen your video on this year's ago, but thank you for refresher on this rope bridge. Your 100% right you need to be in shape to do what you do. See ya Sunday sir. Stay safe
There is only one way to say it (YOUR TOTALLY awesome 👌). I look forward to all your shows. Keep up your good work also hope to see your son come back 👍
I don't see how anyone can criticize what you do you are an inspiration to many people you get out here you show the work you do the job and you complete it
Bravo, awesome technical display of strength and discipline in your craft. Specially the later part of the video with the other leg dangling. Pays dividends to watch until the end.
If people haven't gone back and watched all the video's you have put out that is just lack of motivation and dedication to learning these skills. As always your video was excellent and I thank you for making this knowledge available for everyone.
Cpl. Kelly, Outstanding Video AF. As all Your Videos Are. It has been awhile since I crossed a rope bridge. I Greatly Appreciate All Your Hard Work and Sharing of Your Time and Knowledge and Wisdom and Experience. Thank You For Your Time In Service and Keeping Us Safe. Tim L.

Tearing it up bro
Zero BS as usual buddy. You make my stuff look like kindergarten 😂
Dude great video, keep this stuff up! Thank you

OUTSTANDING MARINE! 😎👊👍💪
Takes me back to my Air Assault days😎
Actually got a notification this time instead of having to look it up. Outstanding.
Me too brad for a change lol
The Geese were the perfectly timed

Hey Shawn, that’s why I always watch your channel. You actually build things, educate and demonstrate very well. Your not a talker but a do..er. which I appreciate. Thank you!
Hell yeah! Doing this at Ft Benning was one of the better parts of basic. You can't help but feel like a bad ass going down the rope like that
As I've found ," once you get off the couch, and try it in the woods, you're actually learning something , and remember it." If you lived it you know it.
Thanks for reminding all the armchair outdoorsmen, that only play in the sunshine.
Like the , I still got it. Motivation for life.
That was awesome, you're killing it!
Thank you again for for a another awesome video!!!!!! Keep them coming we all enjoy them and yes they will be needed sometime
"It's not the years, it's the mileage." I felt that in my bones.
I really miss my Summer of 1993 MCRD Basic Training "Feild Book".
Oogh-Rawh brother!

If it hurts, it works.

I loved this one. Makes me want to incorporate into a scouting scenario.
Great job ! 75 year old man . I may not be dragging myself on a rope , but I don’t need an electric shopping cart to get my groceries . Keep up the good work.
Physical fitness is sooo important for life in general and survival specifically.

Outstanding! “… you throw me the idol, I throw you the whip…no time to argue…”. Keep up the fantastic work!
First time I've ever heard the top of the rope technique explained so it's easy to understand.
I was there for the first time you did this. You still got it.
Good one. Love the effort and love the message. That's why I keep coming back.
AF!!!!! I Gary van zyl respect you Mr kelly I honestly think you tube should give more of what ever you lack 100 fold because you love what you do and share your wisdom in good honest faith

Dude, you are an animal !!!!!😂
I've been watching for years now, and I am still amazed how you ALWAYS find new fresh content. Keep up the great work.
You still DO got it - and thanks for inspiration!
Thank you for your honesty when talking about being ready when stuff hits the fan. Good luck in all of your endeavors.
I haven’t missed one episode since I found this channel 4 years ago. It’s the best
Thanks for the video..
Have a great weekend... see you Sunday!
My only addition- I carry a 4th Carib. I attach it from my belt (riggers) and hang using it while my hands pull me across. If it’s really high, I’ve used a pulley to assist with the weight. Awesome video.
Corporal wins again with the commando bridge! Absolutely love both the bridge and the physical fitness promotion!
I love getting my notifications for mid week videos . Thank you. And also my notifications for the usual Sunday morning videos
I appreciate the bit about the importance of physical fitness. As someone who's carrying a little more weight then I should, it's helpful to have that kick in the pants every now and again.

I like the honesty in "someone has to eat it". I wonder, in actual bushcraft honesty, eat it once and save having to again, or find a new route. Always great vids and the best techniques.
Great video, Shawn! I remember when you first did a video like this with your son years ago. I appreciate all your efforts. Carry on Corporal!
Ah, yes. The memories. Had plenty of practice on the one and two rope bridge at Ft Wood and Ft Lee!
Badassery at its finest! Thanks for another midweeker!
Thank you yet another outstanding af midweek video!
Outstanding AF. You are right about being fit. I’m 65 always stayed in good shape but time has caught up with me a little. I am working on it. 😊
Coporal Commando's still got the knack!
Thank you for teaching these real world skills.
The way you show the different nots and ropework is fantastic AF. That was impressive Corporal, inspiring AF, Thank You Good Sir!!
I’ve seen your original video of the commando bridge.
Excellent video both original and new one.
Really enjoy your channel
Pretty cool Marine hoooo rah
As always Great Video and by using the same knots as bushcrafting, makes it so much easier to remember!! Thanks CPL!!
