Always appreciate your time and sharing your knowledge with us. Thank you.
The Hasselhof pose was 😂 Perfect way to begin your presentation. Thanks for the wonderful outdoor education.
First off: Thank you for your service! Salute! Your vid’s are always awesome AF! Wondering if you and Steve Wallis have further discussed a colab camping trip. 2 good dudes hunkering down in the woods. Thanks for the great content. I’m inspired to try some things I’ve seen you do. I’m especially interested in making and learning the bow drill.
Many words of wisdom contained in your videos Shawn.
* Improvise
* Adapt
* Overcome
* Don't fix what's not broken
* Old but not obsolete
You respectfully honor all that went into who you are, and also who we are today, for those with eyes to see and ears to hear.
Hello to medium-sized dude too!
Ny most cherished is my dad's Marine dog tag from 1969 the year I was born and a can opener. My dad was an old school badass.
Old but not obsolete reminds me of.....ME! Used WW2 gear when I was first camping as a boy.
Nothing better than that old mildewed canvas smell inside that pup tent!
Never apologize for a vendor failing to ship what you ordered. Not your fault--that's on the vendor. You had your premise for the camp and what you wanted to use. You stuck to it even though not all the equipment you paid for was delivered. I'd say your adapt and persevere worked 100%. Few people get to a campsite with everything they *meant* to bring. In those cases, they either adapt or they complain about circumstances they can't control. Adapting is a teaching experience. Complaining is just boring. Your videos are never boring!
I first discovered your channel during the onset of the pandemic March 2020 and have subscribed since. Continued to watch your videos for 2 years while I was home until I joined back work on ships May 2022. Have been binge watching your videos again and rewatching some of my favorites. No need to apologize for the shelter situation because you've shown, time and again, how we need to adapt to every situation. Kudos and stay healthy and safe. Keep the videos coming!!
No apology required, you just proved "adapt and overcome" mentality. THAT is the most valuable lesson this video shows, well done!
Agree!
Actually that’s the one change I would like to see more of the “step two” survival video the hears what you know here is what you have here’s how to make it work the critical thinking is something that TH-cam is lacking you always bring a bit but some more advanced videos would be appreciated by lots of us
Exactly what I was gunna say!!
Thanks for investing your time to make this content much appreciated!!
@@dirgelaw Spot On !!!
64 years old and although we're in different lines of work, your knowledge, ideas and techniques apply to my life.
From the Mora to Sunnuto mc2, and many other pieces of equipment, I've been fortunate to continue evolve a practical solution to mine and my family's needs both in recreation and for my job away from home.
OFS
Hey Corporal, a little story for you. When I was growing up in New Hampshire, my extended family needed help clearing out an old house my brother in law inherited from his dad, who passed away 5 years before. I was about 15 at the time. My brother inlaws dad was a ww2 veteran, so he had all kinds of mess kits, tarps, canvas bags (gunny sacs I think they called them), to put it all in. I was told to keep anything I wanted so pretty much all of it. I can't tell you how many hours I spent attempting to use these things. so much fun, but I wish had your videos to actually learn how to use it all. its all gone 37 years later but I had a blast pretending i knew what I was doing. Thanks for being here, especially at such a chaotic time, when these skill are priceless.
Also do you have a video teaching how to tell the types of wood and what is good for crafting and what's good for fire. I'm just trying to learn new things and go out camping here and there
I own a GI Tropical Ruck Sack, from the Nam era. It's my bugout bag! There's not a better pack, out there, as far as I'm concerned! That thing holds a TON of shit!
Lots of times you see military surplus in thrift stores where the staff was donated. Usually bag packs will be with luggage, sleeping bags with comforters.thermals with pots and pans, insulated containers, I've even seen tarps and old ugly
musty smelling camouflaged pochos hanging with rain gear.
@@alanrice39 Got it from a buddy of mine, who needed some woodworking stuff that I had extra of. So we traded. I got it, the steel frame for it, and the smaller bag that used to go with it.
Also: Sorry it took me so long to reply to you. YT doesn't send notifications, anymore, to let you know about replies or likes.
hey there good buddy ,
David here from Perth Western Australia
first as you mentioned us military are taught to adapt overcome or improvise and that is exactly what you do almost everytime because nothing ever goes according to plan .
i have seen others who get so frustrated because of this fact yet all i ever see from you is its just another challenge and you have fun with it
thats why i watch because your real world training teaches people the same thing adapt overcome and or improvise and have fun with it.
i have not served as long as you and i am still amazed how you can turn every adventure into something fun even when shit happens .
and i have learnt so much from you, your knowledge is huge and your ability to make it look fun is way out there too ,
i know personally they can be tedious and painful and boring at times but they have to be done and you never show that you make it look exciting its a credit to your training and you would have made a great leader and or trainer .
I have never found a reason for a need for you be sorry for anything you do . you cant please everyone so dont even try the important subscribers know this and respect what you do as i do .
and your videos have helped me keep my failing sanity over the last few years . i have seen you do a lot and thats based on where your at and what the weather does and the availability of resources at hand as taught in the military, but i have one for you , you may not be able to do because of the climate you live in but , i live in Perth Western Australia , and we are hot for 9 months of the year and cold and wet for the rest our soils here are either compacted gravel or loose sand and very little vegetation we are allowed to use and very little water anywhere . id love to see your take for both these situations if at all possible and
we cant have fires in our summers the risk of bush fires are far too high so i go camping in winter(nothing like your winters +5C is about as cold as it gets here) but then i love my tent and the sound of rain and thanks to you can now have a fire in the rain and not have the rain put it out i learnt that from you. i just never thought of it. well done
keep up the good work .
As you were corporal! I find your shows relaxing, encouraging and most of all, inspiring. Thank you, you’re doing it for those that would like too but can’t, and it’s outstanding. I’m not sure which is more entertaining, your choice of food or the ingenious camp sites? We’re with you all the way, so don’t change a thing, carry on as you were corporal. 😃
Thank you for your service to our beautiful country!
Loved the video cool stove I used a coleman peak 1 in the 80s that I brought from home to use in the field when I was in the 82nd ABN and the 34th ID we didn't have heaters that come with the mres today thanks for showing the cold war gear love it keep doing what you do I watch every week mostly on Sunday evening sometimes later in the week sometimes I go back and look up something that I missed again thank you!
I have watched at least one of your videos every day for the past month. I have really learned so much. I am putting together a shopping list for myself for when I might need it. Thanks to you, I have a great starting point. Thank you very much.
I tried to order one of those jackets. Lester is out of most sizes right now.
I like that stove and cook set. I really love your videos with old military surplus bringing back the good times. Stay safe.
i dig your stuff thanks for being there
I love your channel. I’ve been following you for 3 years now and I’ve learned so much. I would love to do a weekend outing with you sometime. Stay safe brother thank you for everything you’ve taught us.
Love the ARVN ruck. One of my favorite setups is a Tropical ruck on a Lightweight frame. This combo was really popular in Vietnam 1970-71. Keep up the great work!!!
Absolutely love the '66 Coleman stove... they're heavy but reliable af. Ah, the Cold War... when I was on an O Boat hunting Soviet subs in and around the North Atlantic. Looking back - good times.
Great video... keep them coming, Corporal.
I love the military surplus camping videos you do, Shawn. Keep em coming bro. Carry on Corporal.
Bro I appreciate all of your videos. I’ve used a lot of your videos to try new shelter designs. Thanks for all you do
My favorite military gear ever? U.S. Sleeping bag with WP bag, Poncho and Poncho liner.
As a history bluff I liked the video of the evolution of military gear , even though we may be one of the better equipped nations , I think we carry too much gear sometime to be effective. Training is so important,learning to improvise is the most important, I feel that is a loss skill in society today. keep the videos coming . maybe someday I'll take the time and attend you survival school in Ohio.
People are too lazy to look for things themselves. It's your channel so you decide whether to respond or not. Keep the the uploads coming!💪🏻🤘🏻
IOA was the order of the day, you did well, I really enjoyed the old military gear, great video
Great video. Only thing is the K-bar is not a full tang. It is a stick tang. Still the full length, but not width. It does affect strength at guard. But still an iconic blade and absolutely fine for most purposes.
Hi I just watched this video and I loved it. I just found your channel today and i dream of getting out in the woods and doing this myself one day.. I'm 51 I'm an Army vet was in the Gulf war. I miss the military so much. Thanks for the video's I'm getting all my gear together actually i'm making my shopping list now. See ya later!
The Palatka can be found on Survival Russia also, check out Lars videos. He is a Danish military expat who married a Russian. We used that Coleman when I was a Medical Platoon Ldr. with the Army Infantry. We would put it up against the newer Coleman Peak 1, which was easier to use. Both could leak, and made great bombs, for they were under pressure and caught fire if the gaskets were old 😂
Aahhhh, memories.
I really like a lot of the old school kit better but so of the new stuff is awesome
Endurance Room, Subscribed.
You don’t always get what you order life’s like that we all have to pit with things we would rather not put with you do well man like the videos
No word of a lie when I was NJROTC surplus was my go to for a lot of things I’ve needed. Sadly though nowadays I’ll be accused of stolen valor by some asshat... anyway awesome video! 🍻
Always enjoy your videos. Thank you
Finally I have the time to watch this!!!
In the IT world, we would call stuff like Alice gear as legacy. Legacy means it has been surpassed by the latest and greatest but it is well documented, well supported by the industry, and all the known bugs have been delt with or have been documented. The latest and greatest thing to come out is sometimes sarcastically called the "bleeding edge" because it's the opposite of legacy and is wonderful...when it works. A surplus store is awesome because it's basically Uncle Sam's Goodwill store.
I love your videos 😁they are the best
Love your videos. Being Australian I love the outdoors. Just to take the mick, though look up the concept of the 6 PS. I have smashed the like button for you mate. Once again love your stuff. Skippy.
I still use a Alice pack large for most of my outings
The secret of the Chemlight splatter! LOOK MA NO BATTERIES !
How did you stumble on Lester River? I noticed they're local to me, and a relatively small company- I've been to Duluth more times than I can count, but had never heard of this guys company.
he stumbled on me
@@recall5811 even cooler ! I'll definitely send some business his way, love your channel and of course love buying as locally as I can. Heck, I'm passing through Duluth tomorrow so it's perfect timing. Stay well.
Love the episode. Ever think about doing a show using only using what the troops had during the Bastogne siege in WWII?
I apologize if you’ve done this before, I’m new to your channel
As a long time teacher I feel your pain on being asked a question you already answered multiple times lol
Love the video,John,Sheppey,UK........................................
OUTSTANDING A.F.,, I Luv my military gear, Chile Mac's my Favorite M.R.E., my K-bar's my Fav Knife, i don't pound on it, i just take a small hatchet in my A.L.I.C.E. pack, or my Deuce gear, & i got some of the Old Purple Trioxane Tablets left for starting fires, i also use a newer model folding aluminum mess kit, with frypan, section plate, & small pot, these videos with mil-spec gear rocks, if it's tuff enough for the Marines & Army then it's tough enough for us Civies to use, my tube- snap lights have gotten to old, they don't hardly glow anymore, i need some freash ones, & i need some more M.R.E.'s, i use my Woobie, & my poncho, i also use a Cold Steel Combat Shovel, or a standard E-tool, but i like old one you have cause it's got a longer wooden handle instead of that short folding aluminum handel, your videos are Great, i enjoy them, Semper-Fi General, i mean Major, i mean Corporal...
Always enjoy your videos 👍
Nothing bothers me more than someone asking a question that is clearly answered in my video. Especially if it’s an old video and I have no idea what they are asking, so I have to watch the video to figure out what they want and also get the answer.
Great content!
Making do is the answer to like! Oorah! USMC 71-75
like is supposed to be life!
CC: "This log was designed to sit on with two butt cheeks, but since I have one, let's work with that."
Crowd: "So brave!"
Aways found it a bit terrifying that he spent the night out in the woods somewhere. I've encountered wolves on several occasions, once they even chased me when I was on a bike, I'm definitely not sleeping under some tarp in the middle of nowhere without a couple of buddies and some guns.
Another great video. I saw the chem light but did you think of adding a military flashlight?
Is there any British army surplus you would add to your dream team? Thanks for all your videos Sean keep them coming
How do you find the areas you like to camp in. Is it unclaimed land or a state park or another?
Looks like the undercut in the rock face would have been a great spot to build a shelter. Btw, where did you get your wool coat? LOL
Thank you sir can we have another!
Great episode
Akron , Ohio
I DO watch ALL your videos and am into finding/purchasing that era mil surplus however I don't recall you stating WHO you purchase the surplus gear from, Obviously besides your merch store. Thanks
Oohrah
I might have to look into the old school style military stuff and remove a lot of stuff out of my b.o.b bag
Actually like the fact that only one half of your tent was sent. The ability to improvise is one of the reasons i love your videos. At any time, some gear could be damaged or ruined, and you work around it for all to see. Thank you
Hi 🙋♂️, love this.. Predator jokes will never get old... and yeah, oc it was the Knight Rider... ( in his dreams ) Nice to use still old school gear. Stay healty and have a good time 🇨🇭🙋♂️
I love sitting outside with a warm drink watching these videos! It's so relaxing feels like your connected with nature.
For all the reasons to watch a video until the end, that one was an instant classic. Outstanding work as always, and thank you so much for showcasing this gear. I learn something every video! Chili mac is definitely my vote for holy grail gear, but chicken ala king with the freeze dried peaches and making a cobbler is a close cold war era 2nd. You never forget your first, as they say. It's true for love as it is for MREs, haha.
Shawn. your channel right now, is the most genuine, heartfelt channel right now. You should be sooooooo proud of yourself, Sir!! Greetings from the UK, from me and my wolf and thanks, for helping ex veterans, with your worldview. You know your beans!!!!! xxx Thank you, Sir!!! xxxxx
Hear here!
You gotta watch these start to finish... the knowledge and skills are always in the details you show, sprinkled throughout the video! Keep them coming, Brother!!
I agree, new fan by the way. You've got some great content yourself 😮
Yup even though while out in the bush it is always a hallelujah when intentions and circumstances work without a hitch, but more than naught adaptation and knowledge is what keeps people alive :) and safe.
Nice 👌, THE PREDATOR BLood trail at the end was funny shiatz. 😂🤣✌👍
I have spent the last 40 years dealing with people and training them. I have found that you can give out the same info every day and after a long period of time someone will ask a question about the same info you have been putting out. Don't get upset. Give them a quick answer and drive on. We all look up to you. You are a great trainer. Great stuff.
Hello. Love your content. I used to live off grid for 6 years and I really miss it. And watching your videos gives me so many ideas for when I decide to go off grid again. Or just camping for a few days. Awesome ideas and great content. Keep it up.
Have a plan for everything. I know your time commitment to prepare and present your presentation is a gift. Thanks for the gift. My father was a career soldier. Served WWII on a destroyer to Okinawa. Got out and joined the Army (8th Army) and fought in Korea. Stayed in until 1971. My experiences began plundering is gear when he came in from the field. Henry I wouldn’t solo camp outside if he set me up. His pancho for a shelter, an army air mattress, infantry sleeping bag and army flashlight. It was a Friday night. I remember hearing taps on post off in the distance. I slept good. Saturday late morning he finally checked on me. I was hooked ever since on gear and the outdoors. Thanks for all you do and stirring old memories. I am headed for my 69th year.
Thank you for sharing that Jack. Corporal sure is good at that isn't he ... stirring old memories.
There is no reason for you to apologize we are here to be entertained and learn things from you what you put up is perfectly fine and the true fans here know that stay safe and keep it coming
Outstanding episode this week Corp, no need to apologize. You made due with what you had. Haters going to hate no matter what, F' em.
AAAH, the truly OUTSTANDING memories of back yard, then Scout camping using Mil-Surp gear in the mid-late '50s, and the early''60s! We, my late brother & I, even had dad's Korea War issue K-Bar to drag along!. Also, we had shelter 1/2s, canteens and stainless steel mess kits and utinsels. When the base quartermaster condemned a bunch of down sleeping bags, dad "saved" several from the dump, mom hand sewed the rips & tears, and we slept as warm as if we'd been @home...
Good times, GOOD TIMES!!!
😁👍❗️
A fresh show. Perfect for a snowy Sunday afternoon.
The "carrying case" for the white gas stove is actually a cup and pot for the stove and the "wrench" works as the handle for both. Dual purpose to save weight and space. Used and loved this stove in the 60s and 70s.
Yeah I was geeking out over the stove!
Perfect timing...we have this big winter storm hitting here and NC and this is the perfect thing to watch
I was just thing the something.
Samething
I am a Vietnam era LRRP patrol leader and have been enjoying your videos.. We carried only 1/2 of a poncho liner and of course ate freeze dried meals and boiled our water in a canteen cup over a ball of C-4 ignited with a Zippo lighter..
My dad was a helicopter door gunner did two Tod's in Vietnam thanks for your service
@@diggerblair7460 The day I was wounded, three out of six were wounded with one unconscious.. We used a McGuire rig for extraction and after clearing the canopy, flying over a mountain, were lowered into a rice paddy… while I wad unhooking my harness one of the door gunners jumped out and helped me drag my scout to the chopper..
Can you do a video on camp security such as predator awareness and deterring? Any tricks or words of wisdom?
I was thinking the same thing, lots of beginners do not know how to keep safe in the wilderness. There are other predators other than bears.
That stove was kick ass! Never been so late on a video in over 4 years!
Good morning Corporal! Another great video!
I don't know why people want to skip through these videos I'm trying to get information and ideas for stuff I would like to do in the future.
No need to apologize. Appreciate all the hard work and effort you put into these. Thank you
Do you ever catch and cook wild game, hunting , ect. ?
I appreciate when you improvise. Life doesn't always (ever?) hand you a perfect situation with exactly the right equipment. Knowing alternative ways to solve a problem or meet a need is helpful!
And my dad put Tabasco on his eggs and a few other things. Every time you use it I'm reminded of him. 🥰
I have been watching you for about three years. I find all your videos inspiring and interesting. I now have my 12 year old son watching with me. This summer we are going to try and recreate one of your shelters. Thank you sir!!
We have all had rough nights when equipment doesn’t work out quite as we planned. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks for all the time and energy you put into them. Cheers from Canada 👍
And........I've just bought your tee-shirt and donated another 1 GBP to charity, because you are a superstar!!! Thank you soooooo much, for your content and time on here, Sir!!!
Man the stove is awesome also the fuel tank. Trying to find the tank any leads
I don't blame you for making that decision...I watch all the way through and could watch even more....keep up the good work 💪 👏🏼
I’m sincerely grateful for your concise skill training. My only concern is the impact of “Corporal Style” cuisine on your colon/heart health😂. Even though I’m a thru-hiker, using an ul kit for the AT, the skills I’ve learned here have reduced my dependency on equipment. Skills>gear. Thank you
If nothing goes wrong, you aren’t camping.
Great content. Loved the thought you put into it and the history lesson. I would have thought that Russian gear would have been represented more but availability is King always. Great work and love the Coleman stove.
Sundays are for the Corporal! Keep up the hard work and awesome content Shawn! By far the best channel on the tube!
So where did you get that jacket?
haha nice.
As a Vietnam Grunt serving 1970-71 we had no internal frame on our Rock Sacks. Only an external frame. A case of C-Rations came with a heavy cardboard sleeve that fit over the case with baling wire holding it into place. We used the cardboard wired to our frame to keep the contents of our ruck from poking us in the back on our long humps across Vietnam.
Welcome home sir! My Dad was there 1966-1967, Army. Still have his butt pack on my web gear.
If you can hunt down the German Bundeswehr shelter half pup with original poles, you should pick up a pair and try that out (though you being 6' might be a bit tight). I say original poles because people always use either East German Zeltbahn or USGI poles and they suck for it. Both halves rolled up, poles and stakes (again, original poles and stakes) rolled in it like in the USGI single half roll, it's both more compact and lighter. It's also got camo on one side (the Flektarn is actually great for Fall woodland) and OD on the other. In winter months, if you WERE to use it (we used either mss or just a poncho leanto after OSUT) having two people in there would be tight but WARM. Wouldn't have the poles right in the middle to knock the tent down, either. I finally broke down and forked out for a Pomoly and sewed a stove jack in, it's very nice for a canvas pup.
It’s a beautiful day. Good morning and a happy Sunday, Corporal. Let’s go Brandon 🤝
I love your videos. You do you.👍🏽
You know, in Russia we have a similar stove, it's called "Bumblebee"! It uses gasoline, however, the stove has a different way of ignition. I think you should check it out, pretty cool thingy
