This should be shown to every boy scout on the planet. 10 minutes of no nonsense, save your life instructions. Clear. Precise. Perfect. No ego and no gimmicks.

...you have hit on the key concept that simplicity is usually best - in most things, but especially in survival. Your videos just keep getting better and better. Oh, and I hope you don't mind I shared this with our Boy Scout Troop. We regularly train on the concept of "The 5 Minute Shelter"...

I've been studying your videos religiously and learning a lot, thank you!

Another awesome demonstration Cpl. Kelly. I love how familiar you are with some of the most important knots, and your ability to clearly name, tie and use them! Thank you once again!

Great video. I’m glad you kept these older videos. This it exactly what I was looking for! You’re video are OUTSTANDING

Good reminder on how to keep shelters simple, thanks

Awesome demo Corporal.. Thanks for sharing. That double blanket set up looks very comfortable

Awesome Improvised pup tent those space blankets are pretty nice for the price. I’m buying a few more

Outstanding shelter! This reminds me of a tent I lived in for three weeks way back in the early 1980's. It was not a double lean-to. It was a triple lean-to. Made by pitching three surplus shelter-halves in a U pattern, with a poncho attached at each corner (tent pole) for the roof which was held up by a long stick up through the poncho hood. Pitched it over a stump which made a fine table. Enough room for two cots, and with a fire just outside the open end, it was very comfortable.

Love the way you made the two 'tarp' shelter. ATB

Once again , another great demonstration using minimal gear , that ANYONE can handle .Plus that type of setup takes very little time , and very little noise to draw attention. Great job

Fantastic! Love the simplicity of items and how easy to change type of shelters. Another great video. Thank you.

Outstanding Sir. You should have your own weekly survival show on tv. I luv watching your videos, keep them coming. From Canada, I salute you for your service.

Idk why but a bunch of your old videos are popping up in my feed! BUT I LOVE IT!!

Those Grabber 5x7 tarps are so useful. I always take one on day hikes or backpack trips, but never considered making a shelter with two of them. Now you've got me thinking... might try two of them on an overnighter and see how it goes. Great demo, thanks!

once again you demonstrate in a way that makes everything as simple and clear as possible! Very accessible even for the challenged. Yeah! :D

Motivating young Corporal. That's how you do it! Keep the videos coming. You're outstanding hard dog!

Thanks mate. Loving all the knowledge, your videos are just awesome. All the way from Australia.

Thank you, Corporal! Super tutorial! I love these blankets. I often use mine (orange/reflective) as a groundsheet and my military poncho as the shelter on simple overnighters.

About the time I was wondering, "what about blowing rain"?, you showed me. Thanks.

Grabber blankets are one of the best survival items you can have. I keep 2 in all of my kits. You can easily add grommets. In warmer weather you can use 2 ridge lines on opposite sides of your 2 trees, 1 slightly higher than the other and attach the blankets to the far ridge line so 1 overlaps the other to leave a vent at the top

Great video, great instructions.

I enjoyed this I'm going to invest in a couple myself now. I'm going to have to rewatch the video three more times to get those knots down pat with my adhd thanks double c.

Love those grabber blankets.

Super! Loved your presentation.

Man thanks alot, this helps alot. Thanks to you I learned a few things today that will be beneficial for when I go back to work.

Thanks for making this video, it's really relevant to me because my guard unit is about to go back into the field and I'm always looking to know how to put up emergency shelters when it rains on us infantry guys. Thanks CPL, keep up the great work!

Another great video. I've started teaching my two young boys knots and bushcraft because of you. Your videos have inspired us to get outside and practice real survival skills. Bushcraft 101 is great too. Thanks!

I've had training with the Royal Marines and since leaving, I've discovered that this channel is the best for tutorials on survival and bushcraft etc. Keep it up, it's very helpful for those adventurous ones out there! Respect to you, Corporal. And thank you for your service. Semper Fi.

I still have 2 issued Army Casualty Blankets that are in somewhat pristine condition. The Grabber is basically the exact same thing, and the measurements are pretty much as close as you would get. I have the grabber as well. I use mine mostly as a ground sheet inside a larger 10x10 tarp. You put these to great use, Corporal! Thanks for showing us.

Well done young man. Another great video!

I was wondering if the ridge would leak, but as you pointed out there is just that bit to seal it. Cool!

Thanks to you I always do this setup on my campings. Nice and easy!

Outstanding!

Another excellent Video Shawn,,, I’ve been getting a lot of these under 10min video’s,, Basic and to the point,,, Thanks 👍👍

This really was outstanding! 👍👍👍 You have a lot of great videos, but I think this was one of your best and has the potential to really save lives if people carry these blankets and practice with them. I especially liked the way you set up the A-Frame with the overlapping shingle. I have over-complicated this step before and appreciate the simplicity of your method. Thanks for putting this together for us.

Only having the use of one hand, prusik knots, are a life saver. I love them, paracoard ridge line, #36 bank line prusik.

As always.. Great video for all to learn from. outstanding!

Beautiful simplicity....smart !! Carry a few smaller grommets & prepared loops & you’re in top shape.

Excellent video! Love to see practical knots put to use! Thanks, sir.

Awesome, you make it look so easy

Great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of outdoor survival.

I’ve mimicked my shelter system after you, as I’ve mentioned here before. Definitely should have 2 grabber blankets. Awesome tip as always Corporal!!

Great how to Cpl! Love your K.I.S.S way of thinking. Thanks!

Thank you for the informative instructional videos, always top notch !

Thanks very much for the video and the thinking that went into it. I might prefer to use the extra tarp as a ground cloth that I could wrap around myself for warmth, but I understand using it as an extra fly for the A frame tent, too. It's a very nice and handy construction.

Excellent video. Thank you, Corporal.

The A Frame idea was outstanding. I look forward to setting that one up. Thank you sir!

Once again, outstanding!

Ha. I watched one of your old videos and now more of them are popping up in my recommended. Good to watch some of the simple stuff. You can also loop the ridge line itself through any or all grommets and use a toggle for no knot use. Then tighten the truckers hitch when it's in place.

Always outstanding AF content. Thank you.

Currently staging my grabber thanks for the information and the service.

Love this stuff...

Excellent! I got one of them blankets but its the ust one.. im gonna have to get the one like you used. Very quickly becoming one of my favorite channels to watch my friend!

Brilliant lesson. Thankyou for your efforts 😊

Very good video, gives me food for thought. As I just received 2 10x12 reflective tarps from 2Go Systems.

I used2 use does blankets for sheltering. 😊 cheap, simple,. And good👍🏻 Thanks for sharing ✌🏼

Oh, I love how you put the knots to use and the sticks hold them in place. WOW. I can now make my very own little tent. I keep thinking about something to create floring, hummm, I am thinking... Thank you and G-d bless!

Awesome video!

I would prefer 3 of those tarps to make the last configuration and the third tarp for ground cover and wrap myself as a burrito to keep warm

Great video ! For my Day Pack with "The Ten Essentials" by the Seattle Mountaineers I use a Ripstop Nylon Poncho with Grommets and Double Sided Snaps ! Also have four MSR Aluminium "T" Stakes and some Paracord. The only con the label on the Poncho says "Made in China"... A Day Pack is needed for any and all short Day Hikes ! Thank you for the video ! tjl

Outstanding. Hand salute!

Very awesome. Love it

Very well demonstrated! I like to use a plow point with 5'x7' and use a metal stake in the forks of a small tree, then lay some 5 to 10lb stone on the corners. Fastest set up for unexpected rain... I use it a lot when creek fishing. Semper Fidelis!

Video maravilhoso. Obrigada 🌄

Outstanding, Shawn! The two blanket pup tent is incredible. I have an orange one that I use as a lean-to so I'll order another one, maybe two (one to use as a groundsheet). Due to claustrophobia I either hammock camp or ground camp with a tarp usually with the orange blanket for its light weight. Another quality video, sir! Semper Fi.

Thank you with all my heart

Incredible

bloody great.

Outstanding

He is a great friend and a great guy who is the one ☝️

Hi,.. I really enjoy your channel and the fact that you always look clean and comfortable . Great video 👋

These tarps and your suggested uses look like a good idea. Especially, one could pre-tie the Prussik loops and Bowlines, then have them rolled up in the tarp with some stakes. Also roll up a Tyvek ground cloth and an SOL bag and you are---Dare I say it? Yes, I dare say: Good to go. Here's one: Go to a store that makes and sells arrows. Get some of the aluminum or carbon-fiber arrow-shaft cutoffs. (They're about two to three inches long, super light, extremely strong.) Tie one near each grommet, or anywhere you may need a toggle. Then you will have toggles when and where you need them with no looking for them if it's raining, windy, or the ground is snow-covered. Easier to get them out if it rains and freezes. I really like the two-tarp idea. Good one! Good video. Smooth, clean, clear, good product identification, easy to understand, right to the point, sensible, practical.

All your videos are awesome Corporal. In my packs for hunting I took a 6x8 tarp, camo from Harbor Freight or somewhere, and used a 3M spray adhesive to glue a mylar blanket to one side. Might have cost me $10 minus the glue. Takes a bit to lose the glue smell but does not really add any bulk to the tarps. I also have a spare blanket for just in case. Kinda gives me your 2 is 1, 1 is none. I also bought some of the plastic alligator type tarp clamps and put a couple in my packs just in case the grommets on the tarps tear out in a high wind storm or to use as extra stay put lines. Could use the rock in the corner wrapped by cord also but the couple of ounces the clamps add I can bare. Just a thought and maybe an option for some of your viewers. Keep making the videos and include your mini-me as much as possible. Fun watchin the 2 of ya.

Those tarps are great. I forgot my sleeping bag on a recent camping trip so wrapped myself in the tarp and wasn't cold at all.

thank you for reviewing the truckers hitch

Great video

So glad to see you back!! Long time no see... 👍👊🏻

Super smart guy!!!!

Nice!!

Well done.

Great video brother

Awesome video

Great video..Always great to know... Cheers Kev.

Really, really outstanding video, and I think I can get these tarps at Amazon. And fifty ft of paracord,! Thanks for post this video.

Very good I am going to get some of these sheets thumb up thanks for sharing enjoyed watching you :-)).

Thanks again

That was good to go 👍

I'll have to practice my knots and configurations in the backyard first but great information Cpl

awesome

Excellent.

Outstanding content. Excellent work for a crayon eater

great demo

Simple and nice…

Another good vid Sir

IMHO: I think that it might be better to add many extra "grommet" attachment points, along each side of any tarps that you will use. More is better, since some might fail, in high winds, or over time. BTW: AWESOME Video!!! Great, useful advice! I like your "quick release method , using a stout stick thru a loop! Easy, and quick!

Basic but still the more used form ..good job

Awesome

well done!!!
