I like the fact you show what can be done with a bare bones cheap AF “kit”. As far as watch time goes, you are one of a few people I don’t skip through the video so 10,20 or 30 minutes I watch it all.

That lighter trick, was very handy and potentially lifesaving.

I watch it all.... 20 minute or 30 minute... 45 minute...(as long as the content is educational - which it is so far) I would watch it all

Semper Fi Devil Dog! Marine, I am truly impressed with your ability to make shelter with the bare bone minimum. You're one of the few people I don't skip through, I don't care if your videos are 20 minutes or 120 minutes, I watch every bit. Carry on!

Me and my son went on a overnight outdoor stay this weekend. We only took what we could carry to site in one trip. He is about to turn 18. It was one of the hardest work we have done together and had the best time doing it. We Love your videos. There are millions of trash videos on utube. It's a rare video that actually helps family bond and teaches thing that can actually save your life. With skills that everyone should know. Keep your video the way you like to make them. No fluff, funny, and very informative. Thanks for all your hard work and service.

30 minutes is the best length. I always back up and rewatch the knots and shelter log arranging. No matter how many times I watch, I always go back and rewatch the rope and cordage knots.

I think your videos are awesome whether it be 20 or 30 minutes. Many people are more interested in living in fear rather than being free and enjoying the outdoors. Keep on keeping on brother.

I wouldn't stress too much about people skipping through your videos. There's a lot if people who are impatient or can't relax. As a new viewer to your channel and this being my first video, I didn't skip at all. Great content keep it up

Sundays are for the Corporal! Keep up the great work and awesome content Shawn! By far the best channel on the tube!

I personally like the longer videos but I watch all your videos no matter how long. Like a bunch of the other comments you teach skills that probably 95% of the population doesn’t know how to do. I enjoy it all. Keep it up your videos are awesome

For me the longer videos are better because I'm not only watching for info, I'm going on a little virtual campout to relax. I fully enjoy the methodical nature of your content.

The shower curtain just absolutely blew my mind. How has that never crossed my mind. It’s a good size. You know it’s going to be waterproof. It has grommets. Incredible.

$35 Walmart challenge. Minimum military kit. Cool AF. Like it!

The length of the video I think is dependent on what you're doing. A 20 minute is great for a minimal gear episode but your more involved stuff needs longer time. The critical thing is keeping it interesting and in that you never fail. Keep it up.👍👍

Don't limit yourself to a time limit make the videos as long as you feel they should be, The information you provide is great and has helped me a lot in understanding basic survival I honestly can't understand how anyone could be putting a dislike on your videos to be honest.

The only thing I would do different, if I had to go cheap on a knife, is buying a fixed blade paring knife. A very cheap folding knife is likely to just fall to pieces. I love these challenges. Gets me thinking. Thanks for posting!

I prefer the 30- minute videos, Shawn. The world needs as much of Corporal’s Corner as it can get.

20 minutes, 30 minutes, all your videos including this one are outstanding A.F. Don't understand why people want to skip through your videos they might miss something.

Please don't get disheartened with your videos. Your are a outstanding human being. And the ONLY reason I have a back pack full off bushcraft gear and I have a Fort not only in the woods but I also built one in my garden . Your are THE SURVIVAL CHAMP

I am utterly AMAZED that the crappy knife made it through the overnighter. I understand that it is sometimes a challenge for you to use less than ideal equipment, but WOW that was really taking a chance.

I'm personally a fan of the 30 minute videos. There is so much more that you show during those extra 10 minutes. I know it's a pain when people don't watch the entire video but a lot of us do. People will complain no matter what you do. Cut it to 10 minutes and they'll complain you aren't showing enough. Keep it the same and they'll cut to their favorite parts. Some of us actually like the teaching elements in your videos, and watch it in it's entirety.

Liking that bic lighter trick, I honestly didn’t think of that. Probably would have tossed the lighter if that had happen to me, but know I know better. Thanks man, cool video.

I love how you can make a shelter out of anything!

If people are skipping through your videos they are idiots. You do great videos with excellent quality shots and info. I am an experienced camper but I learn something new every time. Folks watch to the end.

Hey brother, it doesn't matter if it's 20 or 30 minutes, I watch from beginning to end. You post I'll watch.

20 minutes, 30 minutes or an hour. No matter how long you're video is you put out great content and always useful information, so you keep doing what works for you and I'll keep watching and learning. Thanks for sharing.

Honest opinion as a new sub & someone serious about wanting to learn your vids are perfect in every way. The info is vital, the timing of illustration is perfect (I like to rewind n watch to make sure I'm seeing exactly what you're showing). People skipping are looking for fluff. You cant cater to everyone. As your new student, i dont mind more detail n slower illustrations even!!

20-30 minutes is about my max to watch videos so you’re perfect with your run times now

I don't skip through the videos, they are learning tools for me. Keep up the good work.

I guess people skip to the tools or gear. I like how you explain and teach about everything.

20 min vids, all good! You dropped sever nuggets of gold, did ya thang. I understand you’re guided by stats but my 2 cents is do what feels right, you’ve always had wisdom to give!! 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼

I’ll pretty much watch any length video that you care to post. I imagine the editing still takes several hours no matter the finished length of the final product. I really appreciate the effort!

His videos have such a great mood, I can’t be the only one who watches these to releave stress.

Don’t stop your videos. Some of us a learning. Thank You!!

lol the fact that you admitted it sucked immediately, first thing in morning, is the kinda honesty that keeps me watching your content. Oh yeah also all the stuff I've learned how to do over the last couple years of watching your content. Keep em up, damn near a million subs.

Corporal, I am always impressed by your ability to innovate. Not too many people could have gotten through the night with 35 bucks of junky equipment from Wallymart as easily as you did. It is always entertaining to watch your videos.

20 or 30 minutes. I watch them all. Just keep them coming. Most of my kit is budget items from Walmart. That ozark trail cup nests perfectly into the Stanley cook set they sell. They also have a decent steel mess kit. One of their Hart multitools works ok after putting in the time to properly sharpen the blade. The garden center you can find a fiskars folding saw for about 10 bucks. Often you can find the exact same thing in different departments for different prices. Paracord in the outdoors department costs almost double what paracord in the hardware department goes for.

Did it work? Yes. Was it horrible? Yes. But did we get through it? Yes. ... sounds like life and I think I need it on a T-shirt

You really know your thing. May god always bless you with your knowledge.

Hey Shawn, that Mountain House Chili Mac was the first meal on our first backpacking trip in '72. The first time you realize there's no stores around have way up San Jacinto mountain and your hungry, everything taste delicious, well almost. 2 years ago I made my daughter and each a survival kit in a 40 oz. plastic waterproof peanut butter jar. Everything is in it, mylar space blanket, first aid etc. It's about two pounds. Would like to see your take on the peanut butter jar kit. It sure holds a lot. It's a great waterproof container for just a first aid kit alone.

I like the longer videos. I find myself wanting to skip sometimes but I’m not sure why. It’s usually the parts like when ur throwing the rocks out of the crick to make a fire pit. I’d rather see more of the technical stuff, knots, wood crafting, all the crafting type stuff. The skills of the trade is what I’m watching for and I like you because u think outside the box and let us know there’s more than one way to skin a cat

20 is fine. You have great ideas. Innovative food creations. And the good Bellevilles. Worry not. Keep cooking.

"Can it be done yes. Did it suck yes. Did we get through it yes." Love it!

I still use the two or forked tree method I learned from you to process firewood quickly. It always amazes my traveling companions. So simple and resourceful.

Corporal you will never make everyone happy you might as well post the content you like making and enjoy what you do hope to see you at knife works this weekend

I like the longer videos my self but I really like these survival videos especially the budget videos.

Skip the mountain House and buy a couple cans of chili mac for $.99 a can then my a better blanket or a second fleece

22 outstanding AF Minutes. I think at some point every man has to just decide to do what he wants to do and to hell with what other people want. Just do your thing.

I'm have been teaching survival type classes for 50+ years, and I always learn something new from you, even on your 20 minute videos. Keep up the good work. Semper Fi

G’day, Shawn. I was unaware that you were able to detect when viewers skip along. Interesting. I, for one, don’t need to watch someone gather, process, and stack firewood. Nor as they boil water, sip a hot drink, or eat a meal. Or just walk through the woods. However, when I’m watching and learning (or reviewing) something that I want to learn - I may well back up and rewatch some portions several times. I don’t know if that appears to be skipping over content, when it’s the opposite? You’re a good instructor; I learn here. But, I don’t need to rewatch how to learn something that I can instruct. I’ll continue to watch and learn from you, and thank you for sharing your knowledge. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

You are the MAN. Thank you teacher and the vid length should be what you feel to get your subject(S) across. Keep up the great work and GOD bless you and yours.

I like the 20 minute videos... I miss the 30 minute ones... but these are still awesome. I always watch them start to finish. The people slamming the fast-forward are missing the fine details, and the how-to. Do what makes YOU happy. You’re a master at your Bushcraft AND your video production... your legions will watch whatever you put up. Just my 2¢. Keep on crushing it, brother. This was a great challenge and video.

If you didn't mention it, I would've never caught that you did this as a 20 min video. I personally enjoy your 30 or more minute long videos. I like them due to the extended time of showing & explaining of what you are doing...

I get tired of super expensive gear. Even when it’s not Walmart, you keep things practical and down to earth. Thanks

20 mins is spot on. Keep em coming. Respect from blighty 🇬🇧

Brother I wouldn't change a thing. Your vids are perfect. Interesting, informative, and always fun. I'll never stop watching unless you stop making.

The reality is that most people who watch and comment on videos are living vicariously through the content creator. Most viewers dont practise these skills themselves and are only here to watch, expecting to see the “taj mahal” every time. That, or its onto the short dudes that make mud huts with the swimming pools. Not that theres anything wrong with that On different note, loved the wet lighter hack!

20-30 mins are cool. Hell i'd watch your channel even if it were an hour!

I definitely watch the whole video. Worth every minute. Thank you.

I liked the challenge but now you need to do a Goodwill thrift store challenge. Or call it the 2nd hand store challenge. That would be cool 😎.

Do one called “Good Trash” and go dumpster diving apocalypse style and use that “good trash” to do an apocalypse survival video. Silly and fun!

Best videos for diy survival shelters the meals are my favorite part I love how he makes something out of nothing

Thank you for not making a 10 min intro telling what ur doing, im subbing for that. I also love how you cut straight to everything. AND THANK YOU FOR NOT ADDING MUSIC. I camp a lot so this type of content is amazing. and the 20 mins felt like 10, so entertaining!

That wet lighter trick is something I hadn't contemplated before. Thanks! Now that's a SURVIVAL video. Keep 'em coming. You keep makin' 'em and the REAL fans will keep watchin'. The way you tied the Bolen, in this video and others, was my "Aha" moment for that knot. Seen you do it that way before and was practicing and tied it that way as if I'd been doing it for months. Now I have NO problems with that one. Now to work on the Truckers' Hitch, your version. Twenty minutes is OK. Just as long as you keep putting in the "Easter Egg" at the end. 😇 Ran into some line called 1100 Paracord at WalMart. It's thicker than the 550 sitting next to it. Bought a hank and am testing it out as my ridgeline.

I like the simpler videos - like this. Showing survival skills vs building a mansion in the woods. Yes, nice kit helps make it more comfortable and enjoyable, but there's always less expensive alternatives. Start inexpensive, and when you can UPGRADE to the good stuff. Thanks for a great video!

Just happened across the channel. Like the 20 min videos. The time doesn’t seem that long to me

I love the idea of going to hardware or fishing section first, they have “bait” knives that are mora companion knockoffs for $2.95

I know quality when I see it. The longer the video, the better. The wet Bic fix is outstanding. There are 800K plus subscribers. You are too concern about a few negatives. Out of 173K views, how many negatives or skippers are significant? Keep them coming so many of us appreciate your great material👍

I don’t think you’ve done a video that I haven’t enjoyed. Twenty minutes is fine, but make them the length you need to relate the information you want to share. I appreciate the time you spend doing the videos, I know they’re a lot of work, anyone who’s actually done what you’re doing knows it takes time beyond what you’re showing. Hold your head up and be proud of the wonderful job you’re doing, the content is enjoyable and educational.

Great videos man. Your teaching people some damn good survival skills. Most of these haters talking shit, have never, will never, be in the woods. Keep up the outstanding work

Stay strong brother and walk your coarse, I have been a follower for 4 years. You are a good teacher and are an inspiration.

I like your straight to the point no fluff, detailed style, 20 min is great, but I have a healthy attention span so even 30 min is cool!

Dude, I've been watching for over as Year, Consistently. 20 minute, 30 minute, makes no difference, I still tune in EVERY Sunday. Love the work.

Brother, 20 min videos are great. I haven’t seen a video you made where I was like “ come on man, get on with it!”, stick with what you’re doing, being informative, honest and entertaining AF. Semper Fi

The 20 min is about a perfect time. Thank you for all the time that you put into these.

I watch all the way through so 10, 20 or 30 minutes max, it's all good!!!

20min or 30min? Doesn’t matter, if your not happy with your video then how are we going to be happy? I think it’s safe to say we started watching because we see how much you love bushcraft and your extremely informative. Keep being you! Your viewership fills stadiums!

Hey CPL, You do you. those of us who want to learn will watch everything. Keep doing what you're doing

I gotta say, one of the things I appreciate most about your videos are the up close knot tying techniques. Cheers!

In this time of uncertainty these are skills we all should/must learn to survive what is coming. Great no nonsense instruction with the minimal of gear..knowing what to do and how to do it could mean the difference between life and death. Also, I always watch your videos from beginning to end and it wouldn't matter if they were 10min to an hour and 10min.

I liked the challenge. Your skill level shows that you can make it with little supplies. Man I watch all of your videos, and usually more than once. Time is not a factor, keep the content good as usual.

Like the accelerated pace. Like the, “real world”, Wallymart gear. Like the grub review. Outstanding!

As a beginner in the survival game I find your videos very informative and helpful. Working with a budget is huge in today's world

I'm a huge fan of your videos no matter how long or short they are. They always have something useful to take from them and are entertaining too. I think some people just have shorter attention spans (think goldfish) thanks to social media so they would skip through a vine let alone something twenty minutes long. Your wet lighter solution is the smartest one I've seen on youtube. Bernoulli's principal in action!

I prefer the longer videos. It gives us a greater amount of your knowledge and techniques for time well spent

Yes, I have a tiny budget and Manimal spare time. I work with my hands. I enjoy seeing what you and Gary beard can do.. sometimes the you tube algorithms don't like certain stuff.

I self taught myself some survival techniques (Campcraft) back in the 1980’s - knowing that the brain/mind is the most important part of the equation. I was a section hiker on the Appalachian Trail. I just “found” you and I’m loving every second of your videos. At 77, my adventure days are limited to Truck Camping, but I’m still learning a lot. My “rescue and recovery” gear list is growing. YES I WATCH EVERY SECOND OF YOUR VIDEOS! And share them.

Tip for all viewers: If you skip a section, you will never know what valuable tip you've missed. From a Colonel to a Corporal, I enjoy the vids, "Keep do'in it."

The bait cut knives in the fishing isle is sharp as heck, comes in a hard plastic sheath, and costs less than $3.00 . They are fixed blade, black rubber grip, again very sharp.

I appreciate the explanations and the humor, and definitely stay to the end. I would really like it if you named the knot types during the video or in the description, which allow me to look the knot type up and practice. Thanks.

Been loving these videos ever since I found em and watching every second mainly because u got a damn good sense of humor on top on the knowledge your giving us, keep it up

I truly enjoyed this one it brought me back to my childhood when I couldn't afford to buy a real tent.

Keep them coming, long, short, I don’t care. I like watching !

Hey Corp, like the 20 minute videos, no skipping on my part as I really enjoy your content and presentation. Brings back good memories as I was the company Doc for Charley Co., 1st Marines ,3rd Brig. HM1 USN ret. Doc. Jackson

Got to remember that one about the lighter didn't know that I love watching these videos how to do a challenge like that if you're on a budget.

I swear you could make a channel on just bushcraft cooked meals and it would be great.( somehow you always have the ability to make me hungry). Keep up the awesome work, always look forward to you videos!

Shawn. Another excellent video. I like the 20 min videos but I really like the 30 min videos. I never knew that about the Bic lighter. Plus I liked the spoon you made. Don’t stop what you are doing. You’re amazing

I started watching your videos naturally to relax and unwind with nature I watch them from start to finish since it's relaxing taking my mind off things disconcerting from technology I take note of key things and infuse them into myself.

20 min is great. Shorter is better specific instructional or informational type video. 20 min plus is more tv show, live through you stuff
