I like seeing the still pics of the equipment you're talking about.

I watch, rewatch and take notes on your videos because you are such a VALUABLE resource, Corporal. I really appreciate your experience, knowledge, time and efforts. Thank you.

No bullshit review. It's refreshing. Reminds me of old school squad leader education time....

I had not thought of having a road flare in my rucksack, but that is a nice idea.

earned a sub for breaking it down with no extra fluff. Felt like I was watching an old training video. All that was missing was the foot stomps.

Thanks for your continued effort and concern for the health and welfare of others. It is gratefully appreciated Corporal!

The 10 C and redundancies I think work very well. I used to take everything and kitchen sink and realize that all it did was slow me down. I’ve learned to use the 10 C in a very efficient manner. By watching your channel has help me tremendously.

Please Hit the Subscribe Buttonand Notification Bell. Thanks for watching.

One addition ? A large (40gallon) plastic garbage bag. Makes a great emergency poncho in the worst weather. Ugly but effective. Great stuff these videos.

Having discovered your videos here in New Zealand. I really appreciate the time and effort that you have spent in preparing these helpful and educational SURVIVAL videos. I learn heaps every time. Thank You.

Good video Shawn I did not know that the road flares could be re-ignited.

Love your content. Thank you for your service. Nothing but respect for you!

I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Thank You so much for your hard work.

Thank you for your service. A true Marine! Your videos are amazing and very informative.

Very clear and to the point. Once a person has the basics covered then they can consider personal needs (Medications, comfort, clothing, etc.) and what types of gear and tools best fit their skill level and methods based on their knowledge, training and experiences. I've been thinking of creating a minimal (size and weight) shelter kit to add to an everyday carry kit just in case I end up unable to shelter in or against a building or as often happens, stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your videos have been helpful in that task.

Thank you Coporal. You are an inspirational instructor for all students of self reliance and survival. I train this way for my loved ones as well. M

I’ve watch a number of your videos. I appreciate how detailed and to the point that you are in your videos. I can tell you clearly know what your talking about.

You are the most honest and genuine guy on you tube. Love your vids keep it up.

I've been going through your gear reviews, which are great, and I saw this one. I always love seeing what people carry in their kits and backpacking set ups. I've found some great stuff that can cut weight or sometimes just something I have never seen before. I think you do an excellent job of always stressing how important skills are. Gear means nothing without the skills to use it. I always preach to take a class or course on things and try to do as much research you can on products before putting money down. A compass or a first aid kit do not matter if you do not know how to navigate or know any first aid. Learning never stops. I really like how you explained your answer on this one. Last year I found out about Leukotape. It works as a strong bandage and can be used to imobilize limbs. I wrap some around the bottle of iodine to save space, the stuff works amazing and stays on, which is great for blisters. Great job and I think you're one of the best finds I have made on KZfaq. Thanks for all your hard work putting these videos together.

Great video! I watched every bit and even went back a watched two parts over. I am not military, but I really appreciate your minimum preparedness standard. I even took notes.

In response to your last question, Corporal, I like to go with less than the 10 C's (occasionally, usually when I am solo unless the group has a previous understanding). - As an old acquaintance of Dave Canterbury's, pre-fame, we discussed this a few times. The benefits of this practice are numerous, but what I personally like about it is that it has taught me a lot about organic solutions where presence of high speed gear might've given one tunnel vision and "painted one into a corner" so to speak. To have a measurable amount of security, objectives are prudent to address as far ahead of step off as possible. I've been minimally equipped in most regions of the world, in most seasons. i don't relate to the "good enough/not good enough" paradigm because women and children and old people have been living in most places for eons. I find a lot more peace when swimming with sharks and alligators than I find drama. Is it good to gear up a lot of times? Absolutely, and why not, I agree. - I also cheat a bit, integrating carry gear and clothing together, often bringing ponchos and tarps instead of much clothing, placing rifles in cordura chaps until they are needed for their intended purposes, etc. Respectfully submitted, Semper Fi.

Every time you make and post a video, I learn something new. Had no idea flares could be relit after dry extinguishing. Excellent carry list, thank you for your continued contributions.

man you are a pro, the way you present whatever it might be, top notch

I started watching Corpral's corner last year. Really enjoy the presentations. Nice and simple for us lay people. Hope the videos stay availble. Thank you.

Great video ! Finally a real man who knows what he's talking about. Thankyou for your service!

Outstanding, glad I ran into your channel. I can now re purpose my Alice gear. I am a follower the Pathfinder 10 Cs and appreciate your "kiss" type, no nonsense approach. I have gone back and am viewing some of your older videos. Thumbs up!

I agree with your kit and your thought process. I enjoyed your video.

Another great video good to that you tried to motivate people to take some essentials with them and have available to them as their life should be important and they are not going to be out for an evening walk in the neighborhood. In my car I carry a "survival kit" it weighs at least 35 lbs. I have food water shelter redundancies, 1st aid etc. For the 1st 4 days in the event I get stranded somewhere it will be as if I am just camping and if I don't when stranded want the stuff I can just leave it if I have to walk out but at least I had the option I think its better than the survival tin can that can cost $ 30.00. My life is worth more than a tin can.

that was good to go the question you asked at the end really made me rethink a few things I took out I never thought to carry a flare. nice one Sir

Soon my son and I will be outfitted in this manner for all excursions. Thank you.

Thank you for teaching people some of your experience. I very much appreciate it. Also thank you for your service.

Love the idea of the road flare for signaling and firestarting, multifunctional and not typical to most kits!!! Def will push that out to friends/family. Semper Fi brother!

Is there a kit that will prepare you for 100% of the situations you may face? No. The information you shared here has broadened my understanding of what makes up a minimal kit and if it makes you think twice about what you want / need to carry, then you've done your job well. Thank you.

Outstanding damn video. Great way to add more tools to your toolbox. Knowledge is only great when it is shared with others. Trying to get that instilled into my young soldiers.

Man, I love going back and rewatching your videos. Always informative and corporal AF

Thank you for your well prepared videos. I enjoy watching. Thank you. I'm looking forward to each new releases, from week to week. And I appreciate the sacrifice of being spot on, your skills, knowledge, and commitment is impressive. Well, in short, thank you, Sir.

Corporal, get your self a refillable lighter. You can turn it in any direction without the flame lapping back up on your fingers. Also, the refillable fuel hardly weighs anything. As a former marine myself (1970-1974) I do not recall much mention about our comfort, lol. I always told my children, when you have been a deployed Marine, you learn to sleep anywhere under any condition. It does not take much to be comfortable. I enjoyed the video and have subscribed. Semper Fi

thank you bud a great EDI, i am in the UK a veteran as yourself, i find your posts as good as they come keep it up mukka.

really well done video sir..thanks for posting..safe journeys

Like the flare idea and demo! I'm old school military I've subbed B-day candles that don't go out, can cut 1/2 also some plain as for add light and small can Zippo lighter fluid also some aluminum foil has many uses but best that nobody does is as fire reflector! Use much less wood and is reusable! Love the vids a new sub

that's excellent corporal - i thumbed it up! i'm gonna get some flares!!!!!! been using my y-harness set-up like yours from your earlier video for about a year - love it! makes things so much easier for me! you're the best - thx!

Corporal makes an excellent point consistency of equipment and defining the mission... excellent advice

Corporal Kelly, thanks so much for taking your time to educate people on this stuff. You’re an outstanding teacher. Priceless knowledge shared for free, from the kindness of your heart. You deserve way more subs! Hoping to make my way to the Pathfinder School someday for some real-world practice and education from the pros. Thanks again for all you do for us! Take care and be safe. P.s. Your YT channel just keeps getting better and more badass with time! Keep on keepin on! \m/

ANOTHER excellent video, Corporal Kelly. I am finding these to be very addictive, but I always learn something new, and I am pleasantly entertained as well, so it's all good. I grew up in New Hampshire, near the Connecticut River and loved hiking, camping and trout fishing. My brother and I shared a bedroom and we had collected discarded National Geographic magazines. They often had maps folded up inside and we papered the walls with them. I had found a hardcover book, on survival camping skills (A Boy's Golden Book of Surviving in the Woods, or something similar...) and spent hours reading and rereading it and dreaming about being another Davey Crockett, or Daniel Boone exploring the wild country in and around the Appalachian Mountains, or being a fur trapper in eastern Canada. I had the wanderlust in my DNA, apparently. I'd give almost anything to find that book again, so you can well understand how much I love these videos. Thank you so much...

I had no idea that flares could be re-used. Thanks for sharing that idea.

Another great video, it’s weird, I thought I knew a lot of things but every time I revisit your videos I come away with a new perspective... Thanks Again Corporal!

Excellent commentary! Love your vids man!

Always remember my old man carrying these same supplies in the car when I was a kid he was WW2 vet, guess I picked something from him. Thanx for the reminders Cpl. K.!!

Great video, it's very important to carry core part of kit, and also build additional items to suit mission as in where you are going I agree 100 %

I've recently come across your channel and love your content. Thanks for the great videos, insightful information, and please keep up the great work.

Great video made by an experienced person. Thanks.

So glad I subbed you are such a wealth of knowledge, I can tell you were military and as a Canadian I appreciate the knowledge

Great channel. I love the positive nature you share with your viewers. Keep at it.

Well done, first time ive heard of the 10 c's, and i would consider myself a preparedness enthusiast so thanks for sharing, this gives me a good reference point

Hey good idea, and very functional, liked the large tins with labeled what it is and portions, good idea . Thank you

Keep doing what you are doing. Your videos are very informative and fun. Semper Fidelis. From a Army Veteran

outstanding Sir. I lost my home in a flood last year. I had three to go bags, a special Opps west Virginia state trooper said I was a survivalist ?? my three to go bags were under water before I could get them (bummer) always keep one in the Attic !!! I didn't, wish I had !!! glad I found you're channel Sir. THANKS FOR YOU'RE SERVICE !!! this country is falling apart and crumbling from within, ALL THE BEST TO YOU AND YOU'RE FAMILY SIR.

I have the 10Cs as my standard core. In the cutting I have added a folding saw ether backo or silky. Found it make things a lot easier. The flare is a great idea I have had on in truck bag /my get home bag ever sense I put it together back in the 90s didn’t really think about in in my 10 Cs kit.3 things I always put in my kit is a multitool small grill think it a 5x5 and a pack of Advil. Great video.

Another great instructional video. They always make me think "What can I do to make my skills and equipment better?" Thank you

I always like to smooth it much as I can cause I'm lazy. I tend to carry to much in my pack rather than not enough. Good video

Nice vid. Love getting ideas from other people to improve my kit. Thank you.

Thank you Corporal Kelly you just answered the question that I have for so long and that is "what is the minimum, the base line of equipment or tools that I should bring me everytime i'm out hiking, trekking or just camping". Thank you very much.

Semper Fi! I use the old school harness and belt with my old cotton canvas butt pack as well as utilizing some newer gear options like yours. Nice job on the rig. Ive added a holster and two rifle/pistol mag pouches.

Great video. I thank you for sharing your knowledge. I find that a lot of people lack training and are under the impression that they are just going to strap a bag on there back and run to the bush if something bad ever happens. I am glad that a trained professional ex military person like your self is willing to educate people. Thank you.

Amazing. Great detail in every video.

Excellent - I always roll with the 10C's Thanks for sharing !

MOST excellent! Thanks for posting!

Great! Really minimal and well explained. Thank you.

I love that quote! Since moving away from home(Nc) to Colorado. Everything to do with home has become special lmao. #Appalachia

You sound just like one of my DIs! Great Vid! Love the question at the end! I wonder how many of those 2 lbs kit guys get picked up by Serch and Rescue? KEEP ON KEEPING ON!

Always outstanding AF content. Thank you!

Yeah great kit. It Can totally be taken into any environment. Covers all the "C's". Of course each area is going to need its own pertinent options for in climate differences. I enjoy knowing the flare can be reused, the large ferro rod has tons of use available. The military P-51 Survival Kit Can Opener was not mentioned but I noticed it. I have only one suggestion with the Kit. As a rock climber I have the requirement that gear I have is for rugged use and can hold weight if required. The carabiner I would trade out for a NFPA EXTRA LARGE STEEL LOCKING D. I understand that isnt the purpose of your carabiner but if you ever need to rely on it to repel or hold significant weight it wont hold up. Thanks for putting out this vid. I've enjoyed

A road flare! Something I have never heard of using as a fire starter. Sounds like a good idea. I will comply.

I didn't know you could re-light flares. That's awesome!

Good video. I never thought about using the flare as a reusable resource; great idea. P3 can opener on your utensil ring was good though not specifically mentioned. I have to gear-up again though I hate to live like I'm in a hot zone.

Good job as usual. Additional gear might include a Sawyer Mini water filter and a simple IFAK. I carry a CAT tourniquet, OLAES bandage and Celox in a M4 mag pouch.

Great video...freedom for all people

Outstanding! Incredibly great contents

I like the tuna packets. You can pack a bunch and they are a lot lighter than can. Plus you don't need a can opener /P51 which I still carry. Food for thought. Love the knowledge you share bud.

As usual, accurate, outstanding advice Carry on

Another one knocked out of the park! I'm curious about your load out for the medium ALICE pack in the Possium Mentality video you did? Thank you for your service. Semper Fi!

you can also use the zip lock bag for irrigating wounds as well

Couple things: That buttpack is the best buttpack ever made, but I think they discontinued it, I had a hell of a time finding one. Second, a trick I learned is to weave bank line through the grommets of the GI belt, and weave through the top and bottom opposite each other, so that there is always a loop on the inside of the belt. Then you can attach MOLLE pouches and the bank line acts as a series of belt keepers. I like that you point out that there is a minimum a person should carry. I'm all for cutting weight, but I like Dave Canterbury (and nearly every other experienced woodsman that taught me) to cut weight by using thing that have more than one purpose unless you need specialty gear. An additional firestarter people don't often think of is in their first aid kit, they usually have some gauze and some antibiotic ointment in petroleum jelly. Put a glob of petroleum jelly in a piece of gauze and it lights easy and the petroleum jelly will burn for a while just like the "petroleum jelly and cotton balls" firestarter, but instead of carrying a bunch of those, you have first aid gear until you are out of fire options.

This was pretty much my carry personal admin kit, ontop of all my gear in the UK military. Only extra thing i took was micro bincoluars, which i mainly used on the Range ;)

Thanks, especially for reviewing the 10 C's

No matter the age of the video, there is always something to learn. I loved the opening of the video explaining the "Core" vs "Added" kit. Excellent explanation, which really hit home with me. I am gathering my 10 C's now, and starting to work on skills. Thank you for your instruction, and your service, especially as former Air Force. Hope to meet you and the other instructors in 2019. I wish I could have gone to Indy last week, looked like a lot of fun.

well done, one of the best Ive seen here.

As an urbanite, I have 2 complete kits, one for the woodland, and one for urban survival. They differ as to contents so that each one will serve as needed. My woodlands kit is carried in my car and my urban kit is my EDC. Good video, great tips.

Awesome buddy learning new stuff off every vid thank you :)

I like the old school kits as a USMC RiO flying around in f-4 my favorite gear was the basic survival gear that was issued to me in my flight vest

ATTENTION ON DECK !! Good work with the info and demonstrations , even better work being matter of fact and humble . Good work brother .

Fantastic video. Going to work on my survival pack tonight!

Train like you fight! Thanks for these very useful and important field classes. In the Air Force the method is to change the item, it's description, the bag it's in, and where it's stored weekly. You have to had it to those new 2nd LTs. They have to validate their existence somehow. In the event of alert, we simply go buy all new stuff and worry about finding the old stuff later...... if there is a"'later".

Very good explanation. My packs change every time I go out but they always revolve around five or six-seven-eight-nine-ten C's.

was with you on everything until the canvas needles. Genius! I'm adding those to my kit right away! Good stuff, Leatherneck!

Another great video thank you for posting.

ok good video and good ideas. i like the videos on what to pack. my location may not need the same things but i can adjust.

Outstanding video. I've just recently gotten into minimalist or ultra light backpacking/camping. I would be very interested in the food items you carry, and how you pack them for a 2-3 day trip.

Thanks for the good sense advice!
