تدريب Shadowing: Solo Overnight Building a Budget Survival Kit From Menards - تعلم التحدث بالإنجليزية عبر الفيديو

All right, so time again, time for the Soul Overnighter in the Woods.

And I'm thinking we do a Menards Overnighter.

So let's get to it.

All right, here we go.

Back in the woods now those that watch my channel you know from previous videos

that i've done several overnighters at lowe's harbor freight dollar general i believe family dollar thrift stores goodwills things like

that salvation army

but what i have not done in the past i don't believe i've done it is a full-on menards overnighter

now before we get too far down the trail we have 100 corporals corner stainless steel

mess kits dropping to the website as we speak corporalscorner.com and

that link is located in my video description box jump on them

while you can the fastest these things sold out is 23 minutes up to three hours

so if you're waiting till monday or tuesday

or wednesday they're going to be sold out grab them

while you can if you get there and you miss out smash

that notify what available button get on my email list

and download the free phone apps that we've guaranteed not to miss corporalscorner.com

and once again that link is located in my video description box

most of these videos they stick with a hundred dollar budget

which is realistic to a point then again it's not because

if you currently look at your overnight bag your bug out

bag your camping kit etc etc you know for a fact

that you have more than a hundred dollars worth of gear right there

some backpacks are 25 to 50 bucks right there boom so half your 100 budget is right there

so what i wanted to do with this video here is make it more realistic i offered myself 200 bucks

or less and what i noticed

that menards was they actually are trying to up their game they took it up a notch

and they have several camping aisles now

that cater to outdoor activities not just camping they have a

lot of other things going on out there fire pits etc

so i combed through all of it

and i found one main aisle dedicated to strictly camping so i gave myself that $200 budget and came way under.

I was actually impressed.

All right, let's go ahead and kick this off with a backpack.

And why start with a backpack? because the backpack is going to carry all the items that we purchase.

Now, when purchasing any type of backpack, there's several things or several factors to consider.

The most important is it has to carry all the items that you have, right?

Next would be comfort.

You're going to be wearing this thing.

And it doesn't mean wear it from your vehicle 100 yards over and you're camping for the night.

It means if you had to carry this 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 miles, is it comfortable enough to do that?

Most of these backpacks that are around the $20 to $30 range are generally the same.

You might find some that are a little bit larger, but they're built almost the exact same way.

They have this mesh on the back right here.

They have padded shoulder straps here with the same type of mesh on it to make it breathable.

You have a few compartments.

And if you're lucky, it has a wide base like this one right here.

So the more items that you stick in there, it will actually go outwards.

We have one large dump pouch right here.

Inside, there's a small pocket.

On the outside, you have a smaller pouch.

Roughly about two-thirds the size of this one.

And then you have a real small one on the top here.

That's the size of my hand.

So if I were to guess, I would say this takes probably about 25 liters altogether.

Maybe 30 on a good day, but roughly 25.

We're going to work through this in no particular order and start off with containers.

Now, there were no single wall stainless steel wide mouth bottles at Menards.

They were all double walled.

An easy fix.

You drill a small hole in the double wall so it won't crack.

There's a theory or a rumor that they will explode.

I've never seen that happen.

I have seen them crack.

So if they crack, no big deal.

The outside wall cracked.

The inner wall should be fine.

But to save yourself the heartache, popping a small hole in it relieves that pressure and you should be fine.

But plastic ones, five to seven bucks.

Like this one right here will hold a quart.

Sturdy, secure lid.

All you got to do is boil your water, which leads you down the road of a secondary container, which is what we have right here.

now we have this stainless steel i want to say it was a good 24 ounce

but there's no markings on the inside of this

when i filled it up earlier 16 brought me to

that rim right there so if you look at

that volume wise that's at least 20 ounces probably 24 so you're under a quart however

you know filling this up one and a half times should fill this bottle up

and then it can cool down

but looking at it it's very sturdy construction it's from a

company called standsport you have a flip handle right here

that holds that lid in place you got four holes drilled in it right there so you can drink from it

and the best part is inside of this they had two extra stainless steel cups

so you could technically boil water in all three of these containers

and maybe all three of those would fill this up real

quick before we move on there's a lot of commentary online about this type of bottle of that bottle, filter this, disinfect that, purify over here.

And I have several videos talking about the difference between filtration, which is purification, and disinfecting water.

They're two separate things.

If you're going to purify water, you need some type of filtration system to remove everything from that.

And it makes the water look and taste like bottled water.

We don't have that option here.

So we're forced to disinfect or kill everything in that water.

It's still going to look like crap taste like crap smell like crap, but it's disinfected and considered safe and

When you only have a plastic bottle to work with you're forced down

that road Like I already mentioned of some type of stainless steel bottle to disinfect

that water and then transfer that water

Either while it's still warm or after it's cooled down

Into a plastic bottle Once you do that you can carry this container with you and you have water on the move.

Now, like we talked about several times in several different videos over the years,

100

the bulk, meaning the size, the bulk of every single kit is going to be your shelter or sleep system.

101

Will that be a hammock and a tarp?

102

Some type of packable or portable tent?

103

A simple wool blanket or fleece-lined blanket or sleeping bag liner, poncho-poncho liner, and so on and so forth.

104

That's going to be the bulk of your kit.

105

Not necessarily in weight, but it's going to take up the most room.

106

What I've seen over the years, I've seen individuals dedicate several videos to actually proving my point, and they agree.

107

and I've seen individuals want to argue that.

108

If you tend to want to argue it, go back and look at your kit and pull out everything to do with a sleep system,

109

meaning tarp, ground cloth, sleeping bag, hammock, the tarp for the hammock,

110

under quilt, over quilt, and most likely you're going to see what I'm talking about.

111

The bulk of every kit is your sleep system.

112

Now what I've done here is We're late summer, approaching early fall.

113

It's still warm where I live.

114

It's not as hot.

115

The humidity is actually dropping.

116

Nights can be cool down to maybe, you know, high 40s to high 50s, 60 if you're lucky.

117

That's in Fahrenheit.

118

And you may or may not, depending on what you're using,

119

you may or may not need some type of blanket just for that morning chill. To each their own.

120

What I found here was a 6x8 5mm tarp.

121

We have grommets in here.

122

This could be used as a ground cloth.

123

It could be used to store firewood.

124

It could be placed over top of a tent.

125

It could be used for several different configurations, lean-to, plow point, or even an A-frame. And it's camouflaged.

126

There's still green foliage out here, so those that enjoy stealth camping, you could probably use it for that.

127

To add to our tarp, I found a beach tent at Menards in that camping aisle.

128

And I've seen this a long time ago

129

and I was hesitant to buy it for the reason that it says on there, the bottom is waterproof.

130

But what about the top and the sides?

131

I don't know.

132

There's nothing on here to indicate that it is or is not.

133

but being that there's still mosquitoes out here it's that time of the year where i could have a

134

campfire at night

135

or not um it could rain maybe it will maybe it

136

won't why not check it out it was relatively cheap it's

137

packable it's lightweight you throw it down use your shock cord poles

138

and it pops right open it's one and done so we'll go ahead and put this up later and check it out.

139

We just talked about the weather.

140

There is a fleece.

141

It looks to me like a sleeping bag liner.

142

It's not advertised as that.

143

It's advertised as an actual fleece sleeping bag, but it's lightweight as well.

144

It fits in the bottom of that backpack.

145

So this time of the year, why not?

146

In any kit that you're carrying, whether it be short-term or long-term survival kit or bug-out bag, you need some type of cordage.

147

This is 550 cord, approximately 50 foot.

148

You know, it's standard.

149

It's in Walmarts, Lowe's, Home Depots, and Menards.

150

Why not have something in case you need it, being the fact that we're carrying a tarp?

151

Let's say the tent is not waterproof.

152

I want to a frame that tarp or fly that tarp over

153

that tent to shed the water or give myself extra shade

154

or a bigger footprint that I could get underneath and do some small tasks or eat my chow, relax next to the fire, trap the heat back onto the shelter,

155

etc, etc. I'll need some type of cordage to span the distance between two trees in order to do that.

156

In any type of go bag, bug out bag, camping bag, emergency bag, day bag, etc. etc. In my humble opinion,

157

you need some guaranteed way to start a fire.

158

And that guaranteed way means exactly what it says.

159

It's guaranteed, meaning inclement weather, rain, wind, snow, damp wood, and so on and so forth.

160

This pull start fire will do exactly that.

161

think of taking a road flare

162

which is basically what this is shove it into a wood pile

163

and lighten it and then walking away it's going to continuously burn until it dries

164

that wood out and ignites we're talking about starting a fire instant gratification first time every time

165

big lighter these come in packs of twos and fours over at menards i believe there was a pack of six

166

So i'm gonna just toss one in my bag from my

167

house There's no need for me to buy a pack of two four

168

or six when I have probably 12 of them sitting right there But if you were a couple dollars, why not again instant gratification?

169

It's a one and done Let's go ahead

170

and talk about headlamps now I'm a fan of headlamps

171

because i'm hands-free I can put it on my head on

172

my hat walk around I can actually tie this to a tree

173

and get whatever task done at night I need to or navigate if I had to.

174

Now, the benefit of this one right here, it's called Lights All, and it was $9.99 at Menards.

175

There were cheaper options.

176

However, for $10, it was two for the price of one.

177

We have a standard headlamp right here with four settings on it.

178

and the second headlamp right here gives me the option to

179

place it into a tent tie it to a tree

180

so I can find my camp or light up the inside of my camp

181

while I still have my other one I can conserve for later use

182

most compasses you find in stores like Menards and Walmart, in my opinion, they're not worth a damn.

183

And not saying that they're not going to work, they'll work maybe to a point or they're not 100% accurate.

184

And when it comes to land navigation, being a former military in the Marine Corps infantry in the 90s, that's how we lived and died,

185

was going out there analog, doing the math, and shooting the azimuths, reverse azimuths, to get to where we need to be.

186

Now the main purpose of a compass is to walk a straight line.

187

Some want to debate that, but down and dirty, you want to walk a straight line.

188

That way there's no lateral drift or the wandering around the woods.

189

This one right here will actually do that.

190

It's a liquid-filled compass or a base plate compass.

191

So it's liquid-filled dial on a base plate.

192

You have a large magnifying glass right here as well that can be used to start fires.

193

However, most magnifying glasses, if not all, that are attached to a compass are a map reading tool.

194

That's what it's for.

195

You have increments on here for measurements on a map.

196

And I believe it goes from one to four and a half inches.

197

You have a bezel ring right here that will actually rotate with 360 degrees on here.

198

It is a functional compass that is accurate as hell.

199

The one thing I do not like is on most compasses you have a tick mark when you rotate your bezel ring.

200

That tick mark tells you the direction of travel, where you want to go.

201

This one does not have that.

202

However, there's a center dot at the top right here, and I'll show you that in a minute,

203

that you can line up with and put your red portion of the needle into the green doghouse.

204

Instead of red in the shed, it's red in the green doghouse.

205

Same thing.

206

And once you do that, you can walk that straight line through the woods.

207

Here's that dot that we're talking about.

208

There's our green doghouse.

209

So let's say we want to go 120 degrees.

210

I'm going to line it up with that dot.

211

Then take the red portion of our needle and we're going to rotate it until it lands in that doghouse.

212

Now I know that that direction is 120 degrees.

213

The Stansport Folding Saw at Menards.

214

we're looking at around 12 to 14 dollars

215

and that's right in the price range of a budget folding

216

saw think back to about two months ago i did a

217

video on budget saws i did not go to menards

218

and now i wish i had this saw right here has

219

an overall length of 15 inches blade length of seven inches folding length of nine inches

220

and the blade itself is made from carbon steel a lot of is a stainless steel.

221

This one is carbon steel.

222

And it's actually made to where it will cut on the push and the pull.

223

In addition to that, we have a sharp 90 degree spine in the back,

224

which will tear up a ferro rod and rain sparks. so Let's

225

go ahead and get the receipt out.

226

Because now, I said $12 to $14, and now I'm actually curious.

227

Camper saw, $12.99.

228

I am happy with that.

229

And another saw to add in my collection.

230

This actually ranks up there with my Walmart saw so look forward to seeing these in my videos

231

I'm all about saving money and you should be too Check them out Menards Stan Sport folding saw so

232

this knife right here of all the items i purchase is by far my favorite one it resembles a mora

233

if i saw this in somebody's hand at a distance i'd be like they got a more companion spark

234

because it has a ferro rod wrong answer this is a camelis

235

and i believe it's their felix i'm going to read this off on here

236

because i've never seen this before or even used it it's a stainless steel blade

237

and blade length is three and a three quarter inches overall eight

238

and a half comes with that plastic sheath

239

and this one here is titanium bonded and their claim is in doing so it's stainless

240

bonded with titanium to make the blade last longer i guess when you sharpen it

241

it's supposed to stay sharpened longer my question is after repeated use six months a year

242

does the titanium wear down i don't know

243

that process i don't know exactly how that is or the metallurgy

244

if you know let me know

245

but that's their claim just using this before this video it's

246

razor sharp like i said it's like a mora i would

247

think this is a carbon steel blade on a mora

248

so i'm happy with that i'm very very happy with

249

that we have the fire starter in the back just like a mora

250

and you know it does exactly what it's supposed to do it's even got

251

that sharp 90 degree spine back it's a fixed blade 420 stainless steel again three

252

and three quarter inch blade it's dual injected handle has that polymer plastic stuff on there with rubber

253

has the fire starter and a molded sheath with a belt clip

254

and you can't beat that price 15.99 the cheapest more companion spark that i could find was 26 bucks on Amazon.

255

Same color and everything.

256

I'm happy with this.

257

Feels good, looks good.

258

Appears to be a Scandi grind on here.

259

It resembles a moor, like I said.

260

You can just drop it when you're done and be back in the game.

261

And that sharp spy on the back, you can hear that.

262

That's going to tear up a ferro rod.

263

I'm

264

going

265

to go to the next video.

266

So the one thing I failed to talk about was a fork and knife and spoon set.

267

You could simply grab a fork or a spoon out of your drawer at home and be good to go.

268

But this was sold at Menard so I grabbed them.

269

This is a Yuko fork, knife and spoon set.

270

The spoon and knife are attached and they fit inside where the fork goes and they nest inside each other.

271

Just toss it into the backpack and you're golden.

272

I've shown note taking gear in several videos over the past decade at least.

273

And the military is responsible for that.

274

They've ingrained that in me from the very beginning.

275

When you become a team leader, squad leader, you gotta pass information down to your fire team or squad.

276

And you do so back in my day with a notepad and pencil.

277

Nowadays, who knows what they use?

278

Probably your iPhone.

279

With that said, you can't go wrong, especially doing any type of land navigation, by carrying some type of notebook,

280

pencil, pen, something to take notes with.

281

Does it have to be right in the rain?

282

No, it does not.

283

I've had a higher usage rate of these versus regular paper when it gets wet.

284

If you look at this, it has horizontal lines that you can write on, and you have dashed lines going vertical, which gives you grid paper,

285

and there's a ton of uses for that as well.

286

You can mark trails, azimuths, back azimuth.

287

What did I find on that azimuth?

288

How far did I walk?

289

Very worst case, you could tear a sheet off, crumple it up, and leave it as you move.

290

Any type of search and rescue can come behind you, and they can see that, hey, we found this.

291

Leave a note on it.

292

hammer it to a tree using some type of wooden nail.

293

You know, there's a lot of things you can do with a notebook and pencil.

294

Very minimum, keep your own morale up.

295

Take notes, write messages, things like that.

296

Keep your head in the game.

297

So one thing I always want to try to carry with me whenever I can is some type of chemical light.

298

Either a full-size one like this or those mini ones.

299

these have a range of options from simply marking a campsite

300

so if you wander off at night to use a latrine you find your way back

301

or mark that latrine and mark the camp or

302

if you have more than one person

303

and you have to walk at night you can strap this

304

to your body put it in your backpack on the outside of it let it dangle off there

305

so the person can see where you're going see and follow behind

306

or think of it like this if people are searching for you at night

307

and there's a high probability that someone's looking for you in early morning hours or right when it becomes dark

308

popping one of these

309

and they're using some sort of night vision they're going to see this it won't show on thermal

310

but it's going to show on some type of night vision binocular scope or binoculars.

311

So it's always a plus to have something like this.

312

You can just crack it, snap it, shake it up, and wave it around or at least walk around with it if you had to.

313

And the chances of being seen or being used as a signaling device

314

will increase your survivability or the chance of being found that much more.

315

last but not least we have food and i wait till the end

316

because there's a lot to talk about here with this first off i had no idea

317

that ready wise actually made their version of an mre

318

which is exactly what this is there's two meals inside here there's a dinner

319

or a main portion

320

and some type of dessert now i have not gone on

321

the website to actually see what all meal options are available yet, but I will later on.

322

And I plan on doing a separate video with things that are like this.

323

Other companies that are doing similar things, we'll do that in the future.

324

But we have two meals here.

325

And on the back, it says self-heating meal kit.

326

It gives a nutritional breakdown.

327

All together, it's about 500 calories for this one here.

328

And we're looking at about 600 calories for this one right here.

329

It's not a lot, but it's not a lot in the scope of things.

330

Now, if you're like me, and you're eating four to five meals a day, and they're five to 600 calories a piece, this is perfect for one of my meals.

331

Now, if you're just a regular average American, and you're like 500 calories, get a rope.

332

And you're used to sitting down to 2,500 calories per meal, and you're eating three, four times a day, you might be packing around a few extra pounds that you probably don't need.

333

So something like this is gearing more towards what a meal should be.

334

And the serving size says one serving.

335

So it's geared towards one person.

336

And from the sound of it, it sounds like you have to add water to this and then warm it up.

337

Now here's the benefit of something like this, along with MREs or similar meal options.

338

I mean, similar, it could be canned goods.

339

If it were dumping rain right now and I couldn't get a fire, can I still eat?

340

Yes, I can.

341

It's flameless.

342

just like busting open a can of chili or raviolis things like

343

that can of tuna something

344

that does not require open flame to cook is always your best option

345

and should be your first option just in case you can't get

346

that fire or the opportunity to get one isn't there you lost your lighter your ferro rod

347

so on and so forth you can still eat

348

and have a full belly and hopefully water as well and sleep that night and then get up and start fresh

349

so anytime you have an opportunity to get something like this that requires no open flame

350

my opinion do it first time every time

351

i filmed the meal and a couple other scenes underneath

352

that tarp and you couldn't hear a word i was saying

353

so we're going to go ahead and omit those

354

and then i went back and checked the progress

355

that we have showing everything doing everything we're sitting at 20

356

plus minutes the rest of the half of the video is going to be another 25

357

or 30 minutes

358

and i already know from experience most can't watch 20 minutes

359

we get a three to four minute watch time now

360

so i'm not going to bore you with the extra 20 minutes

361

if there's a good demand for this video for this stuff for this gear

362

and a bunch of people jump on it

363

and they want to see a part two i'll give you part two

364

if not and most don't want to watch it we're going to move on to something else

365

what i am going to do in the future is i want to go ahead

366

and do a full meal review with those meals

367

and other ones just like them comparing to mres also i love

368

that knife love it to death so just like my budget saw

369

or folding saw video sometime in the future i want to

370

throw together a budget knife video i think that'd be kind

371

of fun to do um we'll just see the different features

372

and how they look versus other ones and see how they perform

373

because i'm actually very impressed with that camelus

374

that might go in my bag in my harness i'm happy with that

375

so don't forget we have midweek videos dropping every week we

376

have the usual sunday videos at 10 a.m eastern time along with our gear

377

that drops every sunday for the past two years nothing's different

378

nothing's changed we're also dropping youtube shorts minimum five days a week as well as posting to instagram

379

and both facebook pages so right there i just named off five

380

or six ways to guarantee you're notified of all gear drops

381

and videos the other ways are on my website corporalscorner.com you

382

can get on my free email list my free phone apps

383

and follow me on that free youtube community page

384

and i guarantee there's eight ways you'll never miss a notification or video or gear drop

385

ever again all right with that let's go

386

and get out here all the gear in my videos can

ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟

التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
