Thanks for your inspiration, again! This week - tomorrow, I am turning in my letter of resignation to the place I have been working since May of 2020 - After a "bait & switch" job offer, and no way to grow in the position or company, I'm out! I'm going back to 1099 work and self-employment! I already know self-employment challenges, but it's all in my hands now whether I make or break the bank, minus the sacrifice of hours of my life for comfort in a little office all day doing next to nothing.
Acts 2:38
Be baptized all of you in the name of Jesus to receive the Holy Spirit power and be forgiven for your sins 💥
Haha. I was also thinking about that scripture of dog returning to eat its own vomit. At end of the day Corp sir. God wants to have a relationship with us not a religion. In the sense of being religious. I get that we as people maybe chat and one will ask the other : " hey what religion are you? " . But wise words and interesting things to think of and keep in mind. Yes ohh this work thing haha some days me and my colleagus we can complain. But yes coming back to the down and dirty things of business. Its business some companies dont care about your personal life, they dont want to hear it. You are there to make money and they pay you for your services provided wheter you build stuff for them or paint houses etc. I do see it in this way although i might not be completely right with argument. I see it as even though i am a employee , i provided a service to the company i work for. They pay me for that service so we are in a business . And like any one would do ; if someone doesnt want to do business or doesnt want to pay for services provided, well move on if possible. The reason i use that argument that way of thinking is i know im not just a worker. And if i would start my own business then i would need to have that state of mind even more. Of not just a worker but a service provider. Hope all my yapping makes sense 😅. Great video Corp as always.
As the word never comes back void maybe remember too the books of Revelations, Daniel & Ezekiel. The world is getting really biblical now I'm these last moments of time. No more last days. Just thinking of your salvation. God's Speed Corp.
wish you would sell us a few acres on payments. We would sign papers where it goes back to you when we pass. No one will let us buy a small piece of dirt to grow fruits and veggies. Anyway, sorry to whine, you rock as always.
Sitting here in my driveway waiting on a locksmith because I locked myself out of my house last night. But this week’s Corporal’s Corner video just dropped so it’s all good.
You need a lychee tool from the lock picking lawyer
A hidden 🔑 key outside somewhere only you know about works great too 👍💡
Always have a spare keys hidden somewhere else. Good luck next time!
Man. How many of THOSE fuckers have I dug? Thanks for the memories.
My boss does reciprocate, not only does he tell me, he shows me.
Stick gun reminds me of younger days when kids actually played outside. Awesome AF. Semper Fi
One thing about it is God will love you forever no matter what you do. If you believe in him or not, he is there for you. All you have to do is ask for his forgiveness. God bless
Worked at a company years back and the plant manager called all the employees trained monkeys, it took 6 men to pull one woman off him and she still had his neck tie wrapped around her hand and another guy had to cut the tie 😂!!! He was replaced and she got a month suspension!!!
Like you said it's a swinging door. I think the golden rule still applies for the most part: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. You were also right about most companies. I turn 62 this month and I'm retiring on the 31st. I've had enough, plus, hopefully more time in the woods :)
The difference is that people will bite you even if you treat them well. In fact, many people will backstab you PARTICULARLY if you treat them well, because they consider kindness to be weakness.
I agree, ive had many jobs in ky 42 yrs, i became a father at 19, was chewed up and spit out by many companies, luckily for me the past 20 years ive been working for my parents at our catering company, my mom and my step dad are just as loyal to me as i am to them, and its amazing workimg somewere that your appreciated, i also started selling on ebay 3 years ago starting next summer im going fulltime in that i dud it during covid it was amazing my parents tell me all the time wenever im ready to go back to it fulltime there there to fully support me and help me out, if ut doesnt work out i can come back to working for them anytime i want, theres nothing like working for ppl who appreciate what you do and wat youve done for there company
I've said it before, but I'm jealous of your ability to dig without hitting rocks every 3 seconds. Here in New England, you'd have dug up enough large rocks to rim your firepit 6 inches high, easy. Keep 'em coming Corporal!
True that. Mike from Maine.
That very powerful introspection is precisely what made me become something of an introvert. Even more than I already was. But those are very Good words to live by. Ones that were said by three generations of my family❤. Thank you very much for that sage reminder you have a beautiful day
A wise final thoughts corporal! I have the utmost respect for you!
You are not the least religious person in the world. I worked with a guy who was so anti-religious, when somebody sneezed we couldn't say "Bless you" so we started to say "May the force be with you"
I tried to do that in Arkansas, once. I learned why they called the place Little Rock.
After three hours of digging, I only got about six inches deep.
I really learned the importance of having the right tools for the job, and an E-Tool wasn't it for that day.
Strike First, Strike Hard, NO MERCY! God is there for us. Even if you don't want to be there for him.
The one thing most people forget is “HUMIDITY” it can be so humid that a fire will be hard to start ,so got to know how to make fire 🔥when you are in that situation.
Just keep doing what you are doing cause it is appreciated !!!
Shawn... thank you for the video and Corporals run the world... world just doesn’t realize it... Semper Fi brother!
I grew up at a USAF base seeing planes every day. As a junior in high school, i got my private pilot license by busing tables & I cooked to pay for my pilot license, pay was $1.60/hr. I ran out of $$ and joined the Army Special Forces for the GI Bill flight training but as I processed out they canceled the GI Bill flight training and wanted me to enlist. I felt cheated = no loyalty to the Army. I was recruited by Law Enforcement and did that 10 years while building my flight time, and loyalty to LEO yep, ..... eventually got hired to the airlines, and in 2018 I retired from American Airlines / USAir after30 years (38 yrs total drawing flights paychecks) ........ very loyal to aviation but I admit the LEO job was because of the Special Forces (Green Beret) position, as was my Airline Job (of course I had all the required flight training but my whole interview was about my SF position). Bottomline is I have fond memories of my Army, LEO, and flying time. I do think that the military instills the confidence to be a leader, like you, and to succeed. Thank you for both of your military tours and your training presentations Shawn. You set an fine example for your son, and others. Thanks.
Thank you for your courage, service and sacrifice. I appreciate you and all service members. Thank you.
Hang tuff young Marine! You have got it, just keep doing YOUR thing.
Thanks for the video!
Have a great week!
See you midweek!
All I can say is. Dude, you love your chow. Beats the hell out of MRE's!!!
And cheaper
Honor, duty, and reciprocity have guided my entire adult life. ‘Religion is the husk of faith’. Lao Zi(tsu). The t-shirt rocks dude. The strike first mantra is playing in my head.🤙
I look forward to seeing your videos every week. Thanks for sharing your experiences. 😊
I will stick with you. You're a great content creator!! Great techniques and real wisdom due to life experience!
Nice speech, truly agree hole heartedly.
Brother that keep geting better. And i think this was the best final thoughts yet to date. Awesome af.
I'm digging these kind of videos. I like the aspect of combining the Bushcraft with military defense positions.
Sunday Funday at Corporals Corner. It blows my away the shape that your in! And the work you do..keep up the awesome work.
I watch your videos because the content is well done and informative I will continue to watch and look forward to the future videos
Even though this was a simpler video. It was still a good show. I think that's one of the things I like about you. No hyper nonsense and no non essential flair. You make your videos interesting, informative and entertaining.
Well, that's enough from me. Corporal, keep on keeping on brother.
Great video AF. Love the trench concept. Lot of work in this. Fatwood tinder bundle great idea. Great food too. Thanks for all you do.
Second best part of Sunday right after church!
Thank you again for the options and ideas. You put the information out there it is always welcome here. Keep up the great work. Thanks.
Hey Corporal, I know you've talked about your ready reserve re-entry back into the USMC after Gulf War II broke out, but maybe you might dedicate an episode to discussing some of your experiences there - e.g., life on the battlefield, particular battles you were engaged in, good days / bad days, etc.. Maybe you don't want to talk about it. Or, maybe it could be cathartic...? Guys like Shawn Ryan have great dudes like you on his podcast to talk about what they've done and what they're doing today. Could be great exposure for you...? Just saying. Thanks for all you do. I've learned a lot from your channel. Keep it coming.
Also lovingly known as a "ranger grave". Two M16s long and one wide
Love how much work you do for the channel 45 minutes for your sleep area. Great video!
Excellent video, Shawn! I especially liked your final thoughts. The loyalty point was a great one!
Glad you are officially untethered. Exciting times and bigger opportunities are on the horizon.
Absolutely love your videos, you’re Bushcraft skills are amazing. What impressed me most was years ago was you encouraging families to be together to go out to the woods and Enjoy life! Your final thoughts are spot on, you may be the least religious person, you know, but the “pulpit” you just sat on was extremely well used.
Great shelter, and excellent final thoughts!
I ordered one of your forks. It would be nice if you designed a fitting knife next to it.
I borrowed some of my mom's pruning shears that made quick work of all the roots where I dug the various things I dug at my fort. I also used them to cut palm fronds when I got stuck in an unexpected downpour because I wanted more space for myself and my gear than my military poncho would allow (someone gave it to me and it must not be one of the bigger ones but I also have a pretty huge backpack). Just one snip of a good pair of pruning shears gets the roots out quickly, easily, and very precisely too, just how I like it.
Guess I could also sharpen my folding shovel like my Army buddy suggested, but mine didn't come with a sheath so I wouldn't want to accidentally cut a hole in my backpack. I might make a stealth for it and sharpen it too. Still, there's nothing like a good pair of prune shears and it's not like they add much weight or space to your gear, plus my mom has like 20 of them so there's always a good pair around that she won't need. She also doesn't like to go out and do yard work on the days when I think it's a fantastic day because it's frankly cold out so far as other people are concerned. I am always too warm so I love a good cold day and I don't much care if it also rains.
Another goodie❤ but I gotta add this, my favorite video to date, I love a few but the ( Solo overnight building a elevated jungle shelter in the woods its a must see, my top favorite)❤
Nice one. I actually use this one to get down into cool dirt. With the poncho about around 12" high(not expecting bad weather), it makes for a comfortable night's sleep.
I do give myself about 18" out the front before I put my pole. It gives a place to hang a lamp and a little more room for my over 50 beat up frame to maneuver through.
No company that I worked for never was loyal to me, just a one way street but I am blessed and surviving well at age 71!🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
Another Great one here! As always you make it look so simple and when following your instructions, it is. Great tip on the Fatwood Nest! As far as the Final thoughts portion, Loyalty is a dying thing in the workplace and even starting to be amongst people. Corporate is all about what you can do for them so they can make more money! Loyalty in the military is a must and so many people that have never spent time in the military so don't understand that Loyalty. I was in the Army and always give other service members from the other branches a hard time but if someone else does it, I try to be the first to come to the other service members side. Loyalty for me is given and if not returned then it is stopped. Burn me once shame on you, burn me twice shame on me!! Keep up the great work and have a Great Week ahead!!
thank you sir i tried the fatwood shavings for the bowdrill and failed i now see your "size of a baseball " was where i failed and will address that.. safe journeys brother
One of your best final thoughts!
I always forget to like it, I usually remember when it's a particularly good one. But today I even got my husband to watch along too.
For months I I've been reading between the lines on what your not saying, so no surprise on your departure. But what speaks volumes is the silence from SRO. Which is sad. I saw so many videos from past students who had nothing but praise for you. But silence from others that were so close is saddening. I wasn't there so I don't know the exact particulars, but either way some sort of appreciation and regret of departure with a fond farewell would have been nice.
Just say'n, no bad mouthing. Been there too sucks to feel that. But on to other opportunities, and I wish you the best.
Your shelter reminds me of something that my uncle taught me how to build when I was little he called it battle bed .
I love learning something new / while being reminded of lessons that I learned as a child .
Thank you for bringing back the memories of one of my first camping trips . 🙂
I may watch many different sites but you I watch ever Sunday. So far I have not missed your midweek. You show how to do so many different things, I don't have the extra money to buy much from your stores, wish I could but I stay with you for all the wonderful ideas and talents. Thank you so much for being so sane at all times.
It is difficult to defeat someone who has mastered the shovel.
Luckily human powered lawnmowers are still a thing at my local hardware. Keeping one "sharp" with a file as needed is a good past time while rewatching old Corporals Corner videos.
Would love a video on finding, identifying fat wood.
Pine and cedar stands. Look for a tree that has died and rotted off at the ground. Most of the fatwood is concentrated at the very top of the roots where they join the stump, with the largest concentration at the top of the tap root.
Awesome video and Final thoughts....good variety each week....loyalty is unconditional
With family.....your followers are loyal and are here each week....anything can be over scrutinized and disected to the point of oblivion...so a little goes a long way. Be true to yourself.
Another great video!!! Meal looked good!! I liked the shelter. Enjoyed the loyalty talk!
Vital truths, Shawn. Points up what I'm going through with the large company I work for now. They profess to care for their employees; but truthfully only see the bottom line. I'm preparing to bail out with no regrets in the next two months. I've got to see for myself first and foremost. Thanks for the entertaining video. S.S. McWhorter
Old school corporal. Watching this brings back some old feelings I haven't felt in years. Outstanding job sir.
I couldn't dig a hole like that without getting the police involved 😂🤣😅
Nice dirt nap hole. 👍
Gud day corporal! I like to watch your channel in making this vid. It is training and knowledge that makes marines a force of readiness. Am army reservist and I appreciated all.HUA.
Great video … liked the shellscrape shelter… thanks for sharing your thoughts 🍻👍
Nice build, great video, thank you.
Great shelter this week, and appreciate the friction fire. It’s just great to refresh this skillset by watching an expert. Thanks.
Make sure you save a seat for me on the corporal's bus! I'm ride or die and I'm here through thick and thin and all the way till the end!
I love how you clearly show "how to" and it's always interesting to hear your final thoughts each video. 👍
Just like hasty positions l dug way too many of in Korea…1985-1986. Looking and now thinking…an “ old school” set of web gear is on my “To get list”…another great video
I use a TL-122 angle flashlight with my LBE. Perhaps the nostalgia aspect, they do have LED bulbs you can buy to replace the old lamps. I like to use the flashlight for stealth camping because the red and blue filters combined does a pretty good job of purple black out light. The flashlight it self is relatively water proof, very rugged . New soliders in Military around 1990s were to have one, you go to the PX when you first hit basic training and they give you an allowance pay, you had a list of items to buy, thsi flashlight was on this list as well as batteries. Its my camp flashlight. May not be big and bright yet has its place as military gear, like said, using the filters for stealth camping or say some kind of situation for bugging out will be handy for keeping visibility , example in your shelter when you need to find some thing at night. I think would be a good vintage item to list.
Sometimes it is hard to understand loyalty. A parent's loyalty to their child as the child grows to be independent. Most of the time, blind loyalty is not good. Most of the time it is good to be loyal to what is respectable. When the respectability is gone so is the loyalty.
Interesting food for thought on your final thoughts. Have a great week!
I had the giggles when you were talking to us from the grave - illusion is all - your lips appeared HUGE!!!!
Thank you for more great information.
Very few companies respect loyalty. Thanks for the build it was interesting.
Great video corp. The trench bed was it comfy too sleep in. Your etsy store has a great selection of products.
"Do unto others as you would have done unto you"! Treat each other with kindness and respect, and expect it returned to you. Great video as always. As always the "king of fire"
To kielbasa and potatoes 🥔 I add onions 🧅 and peppers 🫑 garlic 🧄 yum
Thanks for this great video. Brought back some great memories 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the instruction! Dry, full and warm. That should do.
Shawn you’ve come a long way. Keep Liv’n the Dream My Friend and Brother in Arms
Notified, liked, shared…now roll that crazy bean footage. Hmmm…..that’s a lot of food for thought 🤔.
Another great educational video
Great job, as usual! Your loyal Followers have grown to expect it, and You always deliver it! In the case of the Corporals Corner brand, Yes, Loyalty goes both ways!
Another GREAT Sunday with the Corporal, out in the woods. Not much on sleeping below ground level but I can see that such a shelter could be necessary in some situations.
Enjoyed the video with the grandkids this morning. Thank you for keeping the videos family friendly with skills.
Most excellent skirmisher trench...you would feel comfortable laying there all day.Precision build,with ideas for expansion or seasonal adaptation.Thanks,you never cease to amaze us.
"My honor is my loyalty." This phrase was engraved on the daggers of all SS troops that earned the award. Bad people , but as far as loyalty goes ... top shelf. I do not promote or endorse fascism, but can learn from history.
Thanks Corporal. Great words of wisdom. I can’t wait to see what’s in store with you in the future.
That's crazy there must be a lot of ( much younger men) in here, because I used to use one of those for our yard when I was a kid it's still a scythe or sickle just not like the grim reaper style that were accustomed to seeing.
@@lydiajohnston4954 hahaha 🤣 we were all so poor as a kid, they had weed wackers too one of my first jobs was splitting wood and yard care and I would use those in areas I lived for heavier weeds and so on. We lived in a wooded area with lots of weeds and stuff that was thicker and those things work amazing.
@@lydiajohnston4954 yo that's awesome my Grandma has a 1-acre plot with her home on it and I used to have to mow her lawn with one of those non-motorized push mowers for 5 dollars hahahaha 😂. Once I bought myself that I saved a ton of money just by doing it without having to buy gas! Plus I used to split wood all summer and fall and I also babysat hahaha 🤣 I'm the oldest brother of 4 kids 3 sisters so I had to do a lot of manual labor back when I was a boy and young man, he'll leave until I finally broke my neck at work I was still doing manual labor my whole life till now! It is definitely great reminiscing with you toi! you brought back some memories as well!
I once set up a shelter like that in in the Army in Germany, in the Taunus Mountains but didn't have to do any digging. I was able to use a WW2 bomb crater.
I did the same in Korea.
Just great watching these videos on a Sunday night. Thank you 👍
Once again, my phone's notification isn't here because it arrived most likely before I headed to church and it's been longer than three hours since you posted. I did report it to CZcams last week, but I've heard nothing back. I get the notifications, but they are clearly set to expire for your channel after either two or three hours. I have other CZcams notifications that are still there from yesterday so I know it's not a phone issue. It's not a huge issue for me because I get your email reminder but I know without a doubt that it's an issue that impacts total views and circulation overall.
Laying there ready for a nap with your arms crossed. Hikers coming up and sees someone laying like that. “Vern I think we found a body and they were trying to cover him up!” Lmfao.
I always look forward to mid week and Sunday videos. It's an enjoyable and ongoing voyage....👍👍
That shelter is definitely going on the list. Not seen it done like that before. For the UK the only thing I would add is sme slightly more than finger thick shaped sticks as a double wall and fill the middle with either clay ot dry leaves. That would make it warmer I think. Either that or have it as a two tarp shelter with one end belled out to store things.
Always something useful presented with an explanation of the how and why.
Thank you Corporal enjoyed the educational video once again. Excellent AF
Am I correct that you think loyalty should be reciprocal? I agree. Loyalty and trust and respect need to be earned. Let us all evaluate how we are treating others and how they are treating us. There needs to be an equatable relation ship. No master and no slave.
So true. Business is business and friendship is friendship. Business relationships are transactional while friendships are reciprocal.
If you're gonna do something...go all out. Supporting your new direction!!! Go get it.
Thanks for all the hard work you put into creating content. I truly enjoy watching your videos.
Thank you for keeping it practical.
