      JUST A TIP. CHEEP TARPS , YOU CAN USE A PLASTIC PUTTY KNIFE AND SPREAD FLEX SEAL ON BOTH SIDES. WILL MAKE IT STRONGER AND LAST A LONG TIME. 0 LEAKS AS WELL. ALSO YOU CAN DO THE SAME WITH GOOD DURABLE CLOTH SHEETS, MAKES GREAT WATERPROOF TARPS. SPRAY PAINT WITH OD, OR OTHER NATURAL COLORS . THINK ABOUT IT, STAY IN THE WOODS , AND. ANCHORS AWEIGH CORPRAL.

      @@robertott2631 Thrift Stores such as Good Will & Salvation Army have price tag markers just like the ones on the items he showed us. Many times you can find new in the package stuff like the tarp at thrift stores. I have gotten brand new stuff from "thrift stores" also.
      I will have to disagree with your assumption as to Store Bought..

    Corporal this time I wanted to say an extra big thank you for all of the entertainment and education you've provided here on CZcams. It's too bad more people don't see what I see. Your $25 budget just goes to show how easy it would be for anybody to get out and spend a night in the woods. So here's my thanks and I hope you can use it to raise the steaks (and bacon) on a future video. As always I enjoyed this immensely and can't thank you enough.

  • @marleeblanchette
    @marleeblanchette Před 2 lety +136

    This is how I started camping, goodwill, free stuff on Craigslist, and stuff people threw out at the curb. Did what I had to in order to get into the woods for very little money. Love seeing how easy it is to find items that will work just fine for overnights in the woods without spending hundreds or thousands of dollars. Some people get caught up in the gear and forget why they even went out, to enjoy their time outside.

      @oprophetisfake9482 Před 2 lety +1

      I couldn't agree more. I have seen people use parabolic mirrors in this way, but never in the field like this. What impressed me most is how fast corporal Kelly got an ember. For someone like me who has drilled through so many hearth boards with the bow drill and still not managed an ember, except perhaps once, this certainly looks like the way to go unless the sky is completely cloud covered. In truth the only friction method I have had much success with even in the garden has been the fire roll. I am very glad of BIC for razors as well as lighters.

I'm about to be 43 and honestly feel my generation is the last to be called what we consider men. There are rainbow head dudes everywhere I go all of a sudden and for some reason they all have the same lisp.

I have learned so much from your videos, new ideas I never thought of for creating camps and shelters, knot tying (I appreciate the way you always take the time to slow down when tying your knots so we can learn), knife skills and your insights to equipment etc.
    Being unable to get outside has been very depressing, but whenever I see you out there It gives me encouragement to keep pushing through and, keep moving forward so I can get back out there!

    I like this idea much better than the $250 Walmart haul. During that, when you were suggested gradually swapping out cheap equipment for better stuff, I thought why not get better stuff from the start by purchasing used? Poor people do not consider $250 “budget.” And poor people are better off learning that QUALITY LASTS. Anyway, these are all great fun and I love following along.

    Not sure if you know this, but garlic powder should be hydrated a little before you cook with it. Measure out the garlic powder you are going to use, add a tiny bit of water, then wait a few minutes before you use it. It really brings out the garlic flavor that way. Oil doesn’t “activate” the garlic, and heat destroys the enzymes that make the flavor, so hydrate the garlic powder first.

    One word of caution about using used cook wear: Be sure to check for unusual residue on the inside. People use cook wear for heating things, which they were not intended for. I have seen people use old cook wear for melting lead wheel weights, for making fish weights. I don't know if that heavy metal residue would be removed by boiling. It is, admittedly, unlikely you will happen upon a cook pot with heavy metal residue, but still worth considering.

    Im just starting out hiking/camping/backpacking. And i had the misconception you needed to buy at least purpose built, or name brand gear to have a decent time. Finding your videos has shown me otherwise. Awesome builds with re purposed items, while having a good time outside, I like it . Keep up the great work Cpl.

    Using that light bulb reflecter from that flashlight to start a fire was genius!AF😊

    I enjoy perusing the thrift stores. You never know what you'll find. Great tip using the flashlight and if you have to wander around in the dark it is so much better than a burning stick.

    Cpl. Kelly, Another Outstanding Video and information AF, you don't need name brand stuff to go out and enjoy the outdoors. Great looking meal too, two of my favorite steak and bacon what more could you ask for. You Are The Master Woodsman and Bushcrafter thanks again for passing on the knowledge and craft. Tim L.

    Corporal, being in the military, you know that survival does throw "nuggets" your way. When you found the lighter, you found a nugget.

    Speaking as a person who has had survival training and put those skills to use on at least four continents, my fave part is his field expedient rakes!! 😂🤣

    You are an inspiration. Time to go through my gear I packed up and stowed away 10 years ago, start learning knots, and hit the woods. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

  • @simkim121
    @simkim121 Před 2 lety +4

    Very informative video, really appreciate the way you show the knotting processes you use. The alternative fire starters were helpful as well. I watched beginning to end.

    I think half my outdoor gear came from a very clean church thrift store. Coleman sleeping bags $8, billy cups $1, low backpack cot $7, dome tent $10, propane stove with a dozen canisters $15, dining shelter 8x8 (no poles) $5, etc...
    Most campers should hit such a store first. Many people buy a bunch of gear, try it twice and give up. Most of what i find looks nearly new at 1/10 the price

    Finally somebody showed that you can still use an empty lighter. I've been doing that for years and been teaching my kids and grandkids same thing as you just showed. Thanks for getting it out to the world. Have a great day stay safe and keep your powder dry!

    20 min vids should work well. Lots of people get 30 mins for lunch and can now watch a 20 vid and get lunch too. In the past I didn't really understand char material but I do now. The flashlight reflector I didn't think would work. FnA it did.. great video.
