I grew up in central Texas and Summer meant living on the lake shore with a tarp above, a driftwood campfire, and an army surplus cot for my bed (no sleeping bag, after all, this was Texas in the summer). I now live in Maine, am 72, almost completely crippled by arthritis; until recently I believed I only had my memories of camping and communing with nature as my actual camping days were behind me. But KZfaq and videos such as this allow me to vicariously enjoy adventures once more. Thanks Corporal!

I'm living in the swamp wilderness of Florida, homeless from Michigan since last July and it's an inspiration to try different things while out here. At 65 years old I could feel sorry for myself but instead I know I'm doing what a lot of people wish they could do lol boondocking, rat hole money and buy some property, the corporal would be welcome to practice in my woods.

I know this is an old video Corporal but I always go back to watch what I found interesting. I think this might be one of my favourite videos that you've put up yet. I don't have a lot of clay here but I did the same concept in the woods and it really did work as good as you said it did on your video. I've been in much worse shelters than this in my life. Keep up the good work brother, cheers!

This reminds me of when my Dad and I went hunting in the Catskills. We had large army surplus tent, we stayed for two weeks! My Dad was a good hunter, most of the "Hunters" bought Dad's kills and passed them off as there's. We had a small stove made out of a grease gun drum and a old shopping cart. We told each other stories and had a grand old time. My Dad made me cut out of school for the hole two weeks. I miss Dad terribly. Check out the woods, it can be fun.

It's amazing to me how much work you put into these videos. Not only do you you bust your hump to make whatever it is that, you happen to be building each installment. You still remember to change camera angles and get a lot of detail with the various knots and things. I personally would get so involved with the building aspect. I would completely forget about the camera shots. .. not to mention all the time editing. Good work sir. Good work.

A simple lightweight and basically non flammable item I carry when in the bush is a 6 foot length of collapsible dryer vent tube. It compresses down to nearly nothing,can be buried and retrieved easily for a Dakota fire pit. Also have used hollow logs for same thing,as well as an easy rocket stove. I’m Canadian,and I used to go winter camping a lot when younger. Still do search and rescue.

Corporal, I don't often make pleas, but please, don't leave small cutoffs of bank line laying around. Either burn them or carry them out. These ends have person-smell (meat!) on them, and can be eaten by small snakes, where it is highly bad for them. So discard them into the fire, or pack them up and carry them out, please. As usual, your video was highly informative. Good Job!! 👍👍👍

Watching you sharpen your knife, I just wanted to comment for anyone in general that if you sharpen your knife and it "feels" like one side is sharper than the other (and the number of strokes are the same on each side), it indicates you are probably (99%) rolling the blade on the not so sharp side. Super easy to correct once you know what's going on (just take a little more time with the strokes on that side and make sure you keep the alignment of the stone to the edge the same, no rolling).
