Corporals Corner hi Corporal Kelly thank you for a nother great video and I salute ok now a while back you told me you drive a (sick) a Toyota 😂😂😂😆 our hero came in riding a toyota a weak little pony you're to good for a Toyota give it to the wife get a real truck our hero came in riding his trusty steed a strong american built full size truck how about a deuce and a half six wheel drive or a WW2 dodge power wagon now them are real truck's and you would look great on either one or a newer dodge pickup well have a nice day Toyota 😃😃😃😅😅😅😂😂😂😆 🙄 those in the know know both the power wagon and deuce and a half go on TH-cam Corporal Kelly and see for you'r self from the guy's that know C😎😎L
I'm totally loving your toggle system...it's so quick and easy to set-up. It's comparable to the simplicity of the Kephart Spear point knife. In that, it's a design that's been around for Hundreds of years. And it works with out fail. If it ain't broke, don't fix kinda mentality. That what I like...
Hey Lilly!!! Good to see you here! You and Corporal are two of my favorite "survival/bushcraft" channels. I recommend both of y'all to all those who want quality material presented well.
This channel has not only become one of my favorites, it has also become a reference channel for me. So clear, to the point, thorough and concise, with absolutely no filler. And to think, at first all I wanted to learn was about knots.... SALUTE BROTHER!
Cpl. Thank you for giving the "Mil-Surp/Bushcraft" side to the world of camping and hammocks and tents. I've got a duality of consciousness - I want to use my gear like our brave men and women have done to protect our country - when the higher quality(cost)/lower durability of the upscale items in the civi world may fail. You never fail to have that content. To have already gone out and done what I'm dreaming up - like using my poncho as a tarp, a hammock, a tent. Thank you for your service.
...this is fantastic! This is just the type of skill that I look for to teach our older Boy Scouts to keep them engaged and challenged. Another on the "I am definitely sharing this" list. Thanks Shawn...
never underestimate the many uses of the military poncho . it keeps you dry , makes a tent , sun blocker, a cover for shooting from concealment, a mat to lay on keeping you dry and mud free, and now it's a quick hammock , and quick take down . in shtf you will need mobility without leaving a footprint so others won't know you are/were in that area . great video.
Thank you, sir, for this great instructional video. Having the military poncho, the woobie and the reflective blanket provides us so much versatility. My loadout always includes these three valuable pieces of gear.
I really appreciate how thoroughly you convey the details. Taking the time to include the knot instructions from previous videos is a great tool to burn them into my memory. Excellent work. 🇺🇸
Excellent instructional video. 45 years ago, I carried 2 ponchos(they were od in those days). We were taught a few ways to use them as shelters but, if you were on guard, you took down your shelter or got wet. The extra poncho made life in the field alot more comfortable. The ponchos also became improvised stretchers using 2 - 10' long bambo poles. Sometimes, we could scrounge up a jungle hammock but some of the officers would confiscate them(the Bn XO usually). A couple of years later when I made 2LT, I just slept in the back seat of my jeep. BTW those ponchos shed part of their rubber layer so I just keep them for sentimental reasons. We had a number of tricks to better our chances and comfort. One I remember, was to squeeze a dressing and a C rat accessory pack into the first aid pouch. If you could get an extra pouch you put a bandage and C rat pack into it. The little pouch on the side of the canteen got the halizone tablets and a p-38.
Another great video! And a great setup, I really enjoy your videos when you incorporate the poncho and the grabber space blanket . Thanks again looking forward to the next video
When you are making a truckers hitch you can make it easier on yourself by passing the line through the loop 2x before you start to pull to tension the rope. Great video!
I know it’s 2 years later but I have to thank you. I’m doing some out of state training missions with the army and I left my hammock back in base and I did not want to buy another one but I do have my poncho and it really does work with 550 cord. Thank you so much!
Awwww, the basic training bivouac. I remember the shelter half we had to lug. Setting up in the deep forest woods of Ft Leonardwood. In hellish rain. After basic training ..went on to do that a bunch of times for Ranger Training.
It was a very well-thought-out video in lot of details and showed the knots again never too many nights duta pathfinding prepping survival I'm in my late 60s but this is really interesting keep up the videos and I'll keep watching you one of my favorite channels. Gingdah 🚶💀
Thanks for this, I usually use a Wilderness Innovation poncho that is wonderful, and is already designed to be used as a hammock, but it is always good to know how to use a normal (military) poncho in the case of an emergency.
Fantastic setup,great for camping dayuse for a snooze in the shade. As always,thankyou SIR and a salute to you and all the military personnel out there.
Very good. I also agree that an old or worn poncho may rip or tear. Setting it up relatively low to the ground is a wise precaution. Thank you very much
Your videos are sooo clean in production...and great content...you have convinced me to do the speed ridge line set up....I have a list that I made called presence of mind and it has to do with putting your brain into function right at a SHTF situation of any degree....it could be just as lost in urban or wild conditions and one or the items is can you make a quick camp...which I think from location to shelter to fire spot you want 90 minutes...beat the weather or threat situation. That is “smothin’it” like unreal, and I bet you could now throw that set up against the clock in 15 minutes easy (15 on fire pit spot 15 on wood collection 10min. Fire build....if possible then....eat.).... great vid...Dave C is the man. His advice and showing not only how, but what you really just don’t want to be without in a load out....boy, has he not evolved into his ancestor....for our benefit....Great human.... All the Best Corporals Corner. :>
Excellent video! I really appreciate the consistency in your videos. Excellent instruction. I like the video layout, explanations, and also how the skill sets are reinforced (the 10 C's, knot tying, equipment utilization, etc.). Keep up the great work.
Greetings from Canada, 3PPCLI. Great videos. Well thought out and well presented. Always enjoy and learn something worthwhile. Thank you for your service.
Great demo of this Shawn! I have been fiddling with this one as well and I am glad you stressed bringing that tag back up to the center. That seems to really be the key to securing it up. I have been using the mule tape and also tried 750 paracord. It is a great emergency technique to own.
I like your videos and that you never assume prior knowledge for any step. how you have simplified the knots and take time to explain them. Have you ever tried using the highwayman hitch and the sheet bend as alternative knots
Corporal, absolutely favor your style, info and delivery over many of the other channels here on TH-cam. Keep up the great work and thank you for what you do!
It looks like you're close enough to the ground that if it breaks it won't hurt anything. That might come in handy in a have to case to get a person up off the ground. I never have slept in one, it was always on top of the car or in the trunk or whatever was handy, I never had a tarp or hammock with me.
I love the title. Though I can easily imagine a situation where this would be a excellent thing to have, it sounded to my ear like something you'd say while executing a super power: "Emergency Poncho Hammock!". :-)
I’ve used a prusic knot on each end for years. Just make sure you wrap both knots in the same direction around the gathered material. Easily holds 270 lbs.
I will have to get one of these ponchos. I have an odd question, How do you keep ticks from attacking you, when you are in the wilderness? Keep up the OUTSTANDING videos.

Two weeks and counting, continuing watching all, one word "OUTSTANDING! NO BS.
I'm getting an honest to goodness education on doing knots. It definitely beats the Boy Scout Handbook. Thanks Marine!
Its a great setup and idea.. definitely adds another use to an already extremely useful item
I love the way you use the same skills in every one of your setups. It makes for a fantastic way to learn and properly survive. Thank you

You tube must be doing something with your vids because this was a suggestion for me today. Outstanding as always!
Love the poncho corner figure eight over the toggle, grommet on top.

Those ponchos are just awesome.

I'm sure you've heard this before, but thank you for clearly and concisely showing us the knots you use.

Love it when you show us how to do all the knots each time! It's a good reminder!
Again a great job, great comments thank you for your service.
When you are making a truckers hitch you can make it easier on yourself by passing the line through the loop 2x before you start to pull to tension the rope. Great video!
yes, I made that video. Thanks for watching
great content, especially detailing the knots used
I just tried it today with my poncho, It is more comfortable than I expected
Another awesome video. I will be using this for my Ridgeline
Good one dog! Really appreciate the quick knot reviews and feedback. Dig your vids. Semper Fi 91-95.
I’m really digging the way you use previous videos to refresh what you’ve already taught, another great system! Thank you👊🏼
Hi, excellent video..... smart idea. I have learned from every video. Excellent instruction.... thanx ........ William
Terrific setup for a „quick and dirty“ stop in the rain! Thanks a bunch for sharing...
Great fun. Thankyou for sharing.
I know it’s 2 years later but I have to thank you. I’m doing some out of state training missions with the army and I left my hammock back in base and I did not want to buy another one but I do have my poncho and it really does work with 550 cord. Thank you so much!
Well done. Ponchos are one of those must haves in a bag and often under estimated on their uses. I have two. Thanks!
Thanks for showing us another great use for the military poncho, your videos are always informative sir.
More good tips! Thank you, Cpl!
If Hoochology had a Master's Degree, CPL would have a Doctorate.
Awwww, the basic training bivouac. I remember the shelter half we had to lug. Setting up in the deep forest woods of Ft Leonardwood. In hellish rain. After basic training ..went on to do that a bunch of times for Ranger Training.
AWESOME trick, , you'are a great teacher....thank's for your work
Great idea and always practice safety

Love all your videos, man! my favorite channel
Thanks for this, I usually use a Wilderness Innovation poncho that is wonderful, and is already designed to be used as a hammock, but it is always good to know how to use a normal (military) poncho in the case of an emergency.
wilderness innovations makes a nice poncho that has channelled ends, so it can be a hammock. or a chair very easily.
Fantastic setup,great for camping dayuse for a snooze in the shade. As always,thankyou SIR and a salute to you and all the military personnel out there.
Great vid. Love the fact you insered details of how to make each knot.
Very good. I also agree that an old or worn poncho may rip or tear. Setting it up relatively low to the ground is a wise precaution. Thank you very much

Greetings from Canada, 3PPCLI. Great videos. Well thought out and well presented. Always enjoy and learn something worthwhile. Thank you for your service.
straight and to the point for instructional purposes only. thanks for sharing, Teufel Hunden. RAH!!!
Yeah... that's was completely amazing. Great motivation every time.
Handy little setup. Versatile kit and skill set equals many ways to smooth it! Take care.
As always, fabulous content with no nonsense delivery. Thanks once again for sharing your knowledge.
Outstanding! Saw a Dave C. video once of him using a wool blanket to make a hammock.Thanks for the video!
Another great video, I love my poncho. I think I need to find another one.
Another nice one Cpl. Keep 'em comin'. That was outstanding.
You are the best, very instructive and clear. I send my warmest regards from Buenos Aires!
Great demo of this Shawn! I have been fiddling with this one as well and I am glad you stressed bringing that tag back up to the center. That seems to really be the key to securing it up. I have been using the mule tape and also tried 750 paracord. It is a great emergency technique to own.
I am filming tomorrow and will be giving you a shout out, take care and Sweep the Leg...………………….
Just know that it is truly appreciated my friend! Looking forward to the new video as always!
I really liked the last 2 videos. Very useful tips and well explained. I'm using them a lot. Good work sir!
Excellent tutorial, as always. Thank you!
Once again, excellent video, Corporal 😉😁
Awesome ideas here
Great stuff. Thank you
Thanks for sharing your knowledge,as always so much detail in your videos
I like your videos and that you never assume prior knowledge for any step. how you have simplified the knots and take time to explain them. Have you ever tried using the highwayman hitch and the sheet bend as alternative knots
Thx for all you post man
Corporal, absolutely favor your style, info and delivery over many of the other channels here on TH-cam. Keep up the great work and thank you for what you do!
Thanks. Please share my videos and channel with others. Thanks for watching.
Great informative video.
Thanks Shaun, great video as always, the figure 8 with the poncho corners is inspirational!
Yeah was gonna say the prolonged use of a poncho as a hammock is a gamble for sure. Nice emergency system though for sure!
I never go out the wire without my poncho and poncho liner (woobie). Those are the first two things I put in my bag.
This was one of your better posts! Keep posting!
Nice setup! Thanks for sharing.
I can't get enough of this. Great video. Can you do this using the swagman roll as a hammock and the rain pancho as a tarp? Just an idea.
Awesome Video , great idea love it
Outstanding Corporal. Great vid thanks
Thanks again! Great video! Very helpful!
Excepcional..la perfección de lo simple. Muy útil para configurar una hamaca de emergencia u ocasión. Abrazo de Bushcraft desde Argentiina ✌️🇦🇷✌️
Outstanding as always, definitely trying this out next time I'm camping
cant wait to get out and try some of these methods have been housebound for about 6 months and your vids help me stay sane!! thanks!! 👍😎
Thanks for making this video I actually just acquired one of these
Good advice...cheers 👍
Very good young man!
Very cool this Poncho Hammock!
Great video!🎉
This type of training would have been very helpful in the field. Nice to know our equipment was multipurpose
Gonna give that a try!
It looks like you're close enough to the ground that if it breaks it won't hurt anything. That might come in handy in a have to case to get a person up off the ground. I never have slept in one, it was always on top of the car or in the trunk or whatever was handy, I never had a tarp or hammock with me.
I learn so much from your channel, thank you, you have some awesome ideas 😀
Please share the videos with others so that my channel will grow and thanks for watching
really good information..well done and great job..safe journeys
I love the title. Though I can easily imagine a situation where this would be a excellent thing to have, it sounded to my ear like something you'd say while executing a super power: "Emergency Poncho Hammock!". :-)
🙏🇧🇷🇧🇷🙏
Ótimo vídeo 🥰
Obrigada 🙏🇧🇷
Thank you for sharing - outstanding. ATB
Man I have never seen one piece of gear be so versatile. You have used that poncho for everything lmao
Good training cpl. Keep em' coming. Ooorah!
Very cool and informative 👏
Awesome!
If I ever get into a situation in the wild, your the bloke I'd want with me! Cool vids, enjoy every one 👍👍👍
TY for making the video....what would be a good lightweight material to carry for a dedicated hammock?
I’ve used a prusic knot on each end for years. Just make sure you wrap both knots in the same direction around the gathered material. Easily holds 270 lbs.
I will have to get one of these ponchos.
I have an odd question, How do you keep ticks from attacking you, when you are in the wilderness?
Keep up the OUTSTANDING videos.
