Wife : What are you doing ? Me : "IM BUSY!" (Watching a grown ass man build a tree fort in the woods.) 🔥

Since I'm having a crappy Monday at work, I've decided to watch Corporals Corner for the rest of the day. Take THAT KZfaq. Maybe watching bushcraft videos will eventually get the makeup influencers off my recommended videos list.

"A Marine doesn't drink coffee. Finding and boiling water is a waste of time. A true Marine pours the coffee packet in his mouth,and chews while he marches." JACK S. USMC. 1941-1946

I believe that when Corporal is finished teaching his future grandchildren, they will be able to build the coolest forts that any kids in town have ever seen.

smile. first a coffee. no coffie-no workie

Just want to say thank you for not cussing in your videos..... my 7 year old loves watching your videos with me, and finding youtubers who aren't dropping the F bomb in every sentence is difficult.

Really liking the talk about the tools and equipment you use, not overly detailed but a good vote of confidence from you is really helpful.

Except for the onion, that sandwich looks delicious!

I just had a thought... he’s in the same wooded area and is just building a bushcraft subdivision. At least there’s no HOA to deal with. Yet.

When I was at 29 Palms 🌴 , the CO thought it would be funny to play 🎵 The Lady From 29 Palms 🎵 for Reveille for a month straight. Twenty-four years later, and I still got that damn song in my head. 😂 Oh, the memories!

All young people should watch this stuff. You have some great ideas.✌️👍💪❤️🇨🇦

Another outstanding show from the master of bushcrafting corporal's corner

I spent 40 years building log and timber frame structures. Here's a tip about saws and axes. Sharpening a saw, getting the teeth reset and sharpening is a lengthy process and requires you to carry more tools for that job. Tree bark collects dust that can be powdered rock. It can even contain small pebbles. Even a Silky saw will get dull really fast. before you take saw to ANY piece of wood, use your axe to remove the bark where you want to cut. Axes are a lot easier to sharpen.

I don't know if I can continue watching these videos if there is going to be a lack of bacon. lol

Being former military I can appreciate the military nuances. I wasn't USMC, I was USN Seabees which worked closely along side USMC units. Awesome vids, thank you.

Your straight faced wit and humour cracks me up mate 😂 and nice Rich Piana reference 👍🏻 what a legend

The way you did that ladder was very clever indeed I'll remember that. Outstanding.

First comment on a Corporals video?!? My life is complete...

I like the idea of being above the ground, for water and critter reasons. Interested to see how you get heat up there. OH, and I'm glad you followed, "round the outside" with another, "round the outside"... I'm sure there would be a penalty or fine for missing that joke 👍

Still the man. Still has the warm heart. Still reinventing himself. Still bringing fresh fun content. If this guy was knitting a sweater or reading the newspaper he'd find a way of catching my interest. Best wishes chasing the 1/2 million subs my man. G.O.A.T

Nice...looking forward to seeing the whole series. I was camping on my dad's off grid land the first time after he passed away, and it had a lot of bears around from the garbage not being taken care of. I used my tie down straps from my trunk as high as I could get them, and then used the random plywood he had around to make a platform on top of it. Put the tent up there, and now I'm obsessed with perfecting a raised sleeping area for camping. It just feels so much safer for a lone woman in the woods.

Said it before say it again best show on KZfaq Outstanding AF!

oh dear me! This woman is addicted to watching your videos.. be still my frickin beating heart! I am smiling !

Another great video idea! I Got the Rangergrip for Festivus this year. I got the 79 which has the corkscrew instead of the phillips screwdriver. I never had a lot of interest in Victorinox until I saw the 78 you use. Its a great folder thats a perfect size. The saw is also excellent for a small saw. Thanks for providing excellent AF content week after week.

We are watching the steady building of the machine designed to take on Everest. Kelly, keep chopping that wood!

You need to put out a "Corporal's Cookbook"

I started watching because my son suggested your channel. I am 76 so no chance of me getting there but I appreciate your hard work and your service to this country!

Can’t wait to see what this fort becomes by the end of the series

I agree, I'd rather see you using the gear in the videos instead of dedicated gear reviews. Short concise descriptions of gear in your video's should be good enough.

Big boy tree house. I love it!!! Tarzan Corporal style.

I grew up in a military family so I love watching your videos and learning all that I can. Some of my earliest memories was camping with my dad and building shelters. Thanks for all the info. you give you never know when it will come in handy. Also, would love to see a video on nothing but your knot making like to learn more of those.....deb

There is alot of work involved here but the construction techniques can apply to many projects. It's fun watching people doing this stuff as I prepare myself for my first year. Great dirt time

Thank you so much for being consistent and teaching the ways. 👍🙏🇺🇸

Corporal Kelly, I am not a super experienced bush-Crafter but if you need put a point on a stick after the first section of material is removed rotate the stick 90 degrees rather than 180 degrees. That way you are not expending energy cutting through the full thickness of your stick a second time. I find it faster top. Again, a suggestion, not criticism, from a 66 year old that has made many thousand tent pegs but still struggles with bow drill fires.

Shawn, I have watched you for the last decade and learned so much. And I don't mean in quantity. The best thing is how you simplify these larger projects aimed at smoothing it, into a few simple techniques that can be applied across the board. These refreshers on gear will be awesome for newer viewers. As someone who was along for the journey on this channel, I would love to hear more details on how long your food ingredients keep in your pack each time you make something. Maybe even how you store them for longer trips. My goal is to improve my culinary skill to Corporal level this year, but I worry about food spoiling if I go out for more than 72 hours.

I'm loving what I'm going to see in 2021 on this channel

CPL Kelly! You eat better in the woods than most people eat at home! Love the vids!

Can’t wait to see the finished shelter!!! Sounds like it’s going to be amazing. At the state of our nation right now I think I’m going to build a tree shelter & move into the woods by myself..🤣

You had me right there with you on that sandwich. UNTIL... That slab of tomato went on there...LOL we won't even talk about that soup... Great build Sir.

Ya know the corporal is roughing it...when he has no bacon! LOL Cheers from Winnipeg.

Side note in historical builds they sometimes charred the surface on wood that goes into the ground, probably to avoid the wood from rotting away. For a build like this just rotate the parts of the logs that goes into the ground over a fire and they will last a lot longer. Side note thanks for the nice videos :)

One thing I like about the gear pass over that you do, the gear looks well used and well maintained. Some youtubers gear always look brand new and it makes you wonder how often do they really use it? We can tell that you've used your gear multiple times.

A treehouse with a fireplace? What an awesome idea!

“Your mom” part of the free comedy on Corporals Corner 2021

I like this build with the technology to level the floor and the technology to make the latter, good stuff. I have not yet seen this before out in any video’s out in T.V. or You tube. Outstanding A.F. Corporal

nothing beats a nice warm meal after spending all day in the woods

Well we’re living in scary times right now. And I am very grateful and thankful that I don’t have to run to the woods because I am already in the woods. I am 100 miles from any major city. Thank God. Now I know why I was led to where I’m at. And I am very grateful

Such a great way to enjoy life. Sometimes it's the simple things that make me most happy. Love your content

29 Palms has lots of Moms

Grilled cheese and tomato soup, that is the most comforting of comfort food. Outstanding!

Oh man I gotta break for lunch.finnish watching this later

+1 for the Slim Shady reference.

You and Survival Russia both uploaded raised platform videos on the same day, today is a good day. I got all the time in the world for bushcraft videos, ill watch em both idgaf hahaha.

I had steak, fries, sautéed mushrooms and steamed beans while watching. That STILL made me hungry! Can't wait to see the rest!

I love that your always thinking outside the box. Always something new. There are so many that just do the same old boring things. Keep up the great work brother.

You are the coolest white dude on KZfaq! I love your videos... I never wanted to be out in these bush and woods until your videos. Now I want to try it..

Very cool tree fort sir

I love watching these again.

ROPE TAPE!!! Haven't seen that since my days as a kid. Illinois Power, the utility company, used that stuff for all kinds of work. We managed to snag a whole spool from them that they were throwing off of an old truck. It made for many an awesome fort in the woods behind our house. Loved seeing you use a cool, less frequently used, type of cordage. 👍

I need to practice my lashing... I like the videos where you build things.

I swear there are people who thumbs down KZfaq videos just to be dicks. How anyone could dislike this is beyond me.

I'm always learning something new.

We used to build these when I was a kid. We had to, the ground was kind of swampy much of the time and wasn't fit for anything low. We'd never heard of bank line, we used nails and baling wire. We'd pick up Coke bottles and trade them at the store for nails. Between school, homework, short days and lack of nails, it might take us a week or two to accomplish what you did in a day. You have one other huge advantage, we weren't allowed to play with fire. Thanks for the memories.

Outstanding AF.

New for 2021.. mom jokes! Haha

Brings back memories of my younger years, making blinds over ponds on cypress knees and trees and deer stands up in trees. Nice build.

Cpl. Kelly......this build is gonna be awesome ......your a genius !......You are getting buff master teacher !....Ya know every time you cook a gourmet meal it makes me hungry.....lol...God Bless

Yes please split it up that sounds good I apologize I've been watching your videos recently I went under I had covid

What a coincidence. I just watched Lars G. at Survival Russia build an elevated platform. However, his was triangular, no cordage, no hardware... primitive native technique.

Another Sunday afternoon with the Corporal! He works and teaches and I sit in front of a gas fireplace and guzzle hot chocolate and dream manly dreams. Please keep the videos coming!

Thanks again Corporal. Amazing how fast a channel will fall out of your feed. Keep ‘em coming. Thanks.

Awesome Corporal, did you forget the bacon??

When's the Corprals Cook Book coming out ? Lol

You're never too old to enjoy a good tree fort!

My 7 year old daughter just specifically asked unprompted if we could watch Corporals Corner’s treehouse vid. Keep up the good work.

In the event of inclement weather, can a person create a "tent" using a tarp over the platform to keep it dry? Love the education and video's....may become our survival soon

I’m going to have to stop watching this channel with my 4 year old son 😂😁😂. My Son- Dad he built his tree house in 30 minutes 😆🤣😂

Hi Mr. Corporal, I think that you should make a new series of videos called “Survival School” where you do more of the teaching part. Like teaching knots, fire building etc. I know that I would enjoy learning but I don’t know about everyone else.

Brings back memories of the play fort my brothers and I built...in the family plum tree of all places! But hey, we could chill out and eat at the same time!

Happy New Year from the UK Shawn..missing the bacon though mate

Great channel. Been watching for while. Content keeps getting more and more interesting. Thanks for all the hard work you put into it. Learning a lot from your videos. How much does your loaded pack weigh minus food ?

Lovin the tree fort ideas, something you can go back to and re-use for a couple of seasons

I've been watching your videos for at least two years. One of the things I like the most about them is the way you don't focus on the gear. You show what to do and how to do it. You have always told us the where gear is available if we want it. I have always considered your approach to videos to be much more mature and sophisticated than most other utubers. (Bad jokes notwithstanding) Don't change too much now that others are catching on. Certainly grow and develop as a presenter, and as a teacher. But remember your roots. Be you, and do it your way. You can see that it pays off.

Another outstanding video! Can you include some tree identification in some of your videos?

From the perspective of a Building Codes Officer this is a fail. From the perspective of a ten year old boy its Awesome!!!!

Thanks again Corporal, for taking me out in the woods where I can think things over. Finish my day every Sunday with your latest adventure.

Might sound lame but I love hearing all the blue jays you capture in most videos.

What becomes of the forts you build. Do they get dismantled or are they still up so that you can use at some other time?

Love the axe, however, everytime I want to purchase anything off your recommended sites,...most of the items are sold out, not in stock,etc.

Looking forward to the series. Enjoying the straightforward instruction. Thanks for your planning and delivery.

Don't recall many Moms in 29, but then again, I was maybe three. Do miss Joshua Tree NM, though. Thanks again for another outstanding build. : )

can someone tell me what knot he dose here ?? btw great vid

Corporal knows how to snare a viewer... thumbnail of a ridiculous sandwich and melted cheese 😳😬😱👍👍

Thinning the forest. Giving nature a helping hand.👍👍

You're already the Dennis Miller of bushcraft with the pop culture references and jokes.

Yes folks, the Corporal actually bleeds. This is two weeks in a row. :D

MMMM good, just like your mom :))))))))))))))))))

Tree fort. Outstanding, I feel like a kid again 😁

I have a feeling this is going to be one of my favorite builds to date.
