    Watching your videos makes me think that my idea to create an auxiliary shelter kit is even more important than ever. I am reminded that homeless people are always desperate for good shelter to stay safe, dry and warm on cold nights and in the winter. Data supports the fact that most people lost in the woods, desert, or tropics often die from exposure before starvation or other hazards. You did so much with so little. Small kit for maximum comfort. This is one of your best projects.

    It is also a great idea to sweep all the debris from your site before setting up. This clears out some creepy crawlies and prevents others from entering your area because they fear leaving the concealment of leaves and sticks.

    Back in the 80s I was in a Civil Air Patrol ground search and rescue unit. This was back before MREs were common outside of the military. Ditto for freeze dried foods like Mountain House. So, we typically carried canned foods which we heated right in the can. We then put the cans in the fire to burn out leftover food and to remove the anti-rust coating. We'd then bury the cans. We figured that by burning the cans they'd rust away to nothing in a shorter time.
    That was a different time and I now pack out anything I carry in.

      Double D Been reading a lot about heating the can and eating out of it. Seems like I heard they put a coating in them that makes them unsafe to do that.

    Hello, and welcome to Corporal's Corner Hotel and Woodland Resort for One. It's a little gem tucked away in a nice little corner of Heaven, complete with barnyard animals you can hear but can't see LOL!!
    I did like the improvements you made. I like the low wall behind the shelter, and the amount of room gained was worth the calories burned. Repacking the bags with leaves was the way to go.
    Spaghetti-Os were okay, but I liked corned beef hash better. Same amount of garlic used in both, to be sure.
    Keep up the good work, Corporal. Enjoy the resort.

    Awesome use of “butt ton” to describe how much wood you’ll need.
    My first “bushcraft” thing was making the wood carrier after I saw your video a couple years ago. I keep the same lines packed and add new “handles” when I go in the field. Easy peasy....

    Ah the burning of the can thing is pretty smart. Saves water. Thanks!

    These are my favorite Corporal's Corner videos, the time you spend in the woods demonstrating skills. After these improvements you're definitely smoothing it!

    Your videos take me back to a cherished time in my youth ... the years that I was on (and completed) the path to Eagle Scout and later Order of the Arrow. I was lucky to have a real Scoutmaster who put his heart and soul into taking boys and turning them into men. Warren Dale taught us all the laws of survival and bushcraft and those skills were etched in stone into my psyche at an early, impressionable age. I still carry my BSA Scout knife in my pocket as part of my EDC just to remind me of my past and all that I've learned. Watching your videos has blown the dust and cobwebs off of those skills and made me rethink my BOB and EDC. Thank you, again, for these videos and you've got a new fan/subscriber.

    The big trash bags make a good bed . The wood collection is very practical . The long fire pit makes better sense . Cold feet is the worst. If football size rocks were around you could get creative with fire pit. But as it is it looks to be very comfortable.

    Awesome videos! Both of these minimal gear shelter videos. Those are some nice walls to keep the critters out, well at least the skunks, raccoons and other small ones. I’m thinking of doing a wall setup at my camp for next time I spend the night. Even though I have a family of coyotes that could just jump over a waist high wall and a small black bear that could just tear it down. But the fire alone should keep them away. Plus, I think they are comfortable with me being in the woods with them. I make enough noise so they know I’m around so they can avoid me and I don’t surprise them.

    Kelly, your first video that u did was good.. But, I thought u were going to put leave behind your tarp so the air could not come underneath.. This way the back of U would be warm.. So, I got confused since u did not do it.. U did it in the past videos... Also, this was a first time with no bacon to eat.. Maybe we should send U some.. LOL. Your food was an excellent choice.. The wind block one & two were made well as usual.. Your second video was interesting as well.. Because, U added the third wind block behind U to keep U warmer than before... As U said, " it gave U more room so u could stretch out & sleep better.. I want to thank U for taking your time & experience to teaching us about surviving in the wilderness... It's a good learning experience for us all... Thank U again....

    Very educational. At us (Romania) you are not allowed to make fire except in an arranged place. Unfortunately (they) think you can set fire to the forest. He considers that sparks can set fire. But a burning leaf when it flies in the coctact with the air goes out.
    All my respect.

    1 drag into your camp the biggest pieces of tree you can and cut it when you get it to camp (it is easier than carrying pieces) 2 look into the star fire, you use longer pieces of wood and push them into the fire (more tending but less sawing).
