This gentleman passed away today. RIP Mors. God bless

[@Ratchety]

Watching and listening to Mors really helps solidify the knowledge learned from reading his book. I understand the reason for using the tip of the knife for feathersticks now. Thank you for sharing.

[@itsawonderfulknife7031]

I think Mr. Kochanski. is at the point now where he can just look at a piece of wood and it falls to the forest floor in a pile of feather sticks

[@north61]

Mors always makes everything seem easy!

[@hoz49]

I was lucky to attend a talk about knots Mors gave at Canoecopia. He impressed me so much with his matter of fact style, his obvious knowledge and experience that I have been watching his videos for more tips. All of the current crop of "survival Gurus" owe a debt of gratitude to this man. Mors is an "unconscience competent"..

[@PaulBuikema]

Nice one. I still have my 1988 soft cover version of Northern Bushcraft at the front of the line for my outdoors books, great to have a channel where Mors can get up front and personal with his teachings. Probably the best $12.95 I ever spent on a book.

[@viracocha72]

Wow, I've watched a lot of feather stick videos and this man just brought it to a whole other level. Watching a master at his craft is am awesome thing.

[@maritimespook]

i realize I am pretty off topic but does anyone know of a good place to stream new tv shows online?

[@brutalbrital]

Thank you once again for a very good video, I love the classy way you have of explaining what and why your doing things. Some of your instruction is being used by me to train my teenage son here in Australia so your message is sent far and wide. Regards and Respect

[@paulaknapp4218]

I just started watching him today 😥 God Bless RIP

[@ToddEilts]

Nicely done skills vid. I love the monologue that he does WHILE he is doing the skill.

[@RhysTucker2603]

I have watched this video about 20 times!

[@saradreaming]

Thank you once again Mors, It's always a special treat to see another couple pages from your book come alive.. : o)

[@TheNessmuk]

An honour to watch and learn from a great man we all miss him

[@bigfootbushcraft7063]

Man I sure do miss you friend

[@PeterNordBushcraft]

I just bought your book. You are the leader in this Bushcraft business! Awesome thanks!

[@Taromovies]

I did not know you have a youtube channel, I'm happy that I find you, great to learn from you, all the best, Taro from switzerland

[@tallcedars2310]

Mors is awesome, I enjoyed his teaching at the 2015 course and picked up a lot of his bushcraft ways. But the last few year I have been trying to perfect feathersticks without much luck. Watched this video awhile ago and missed the details of it... I see I have been using the wrong wood and need something more like punkwood. Tried it after watching this and sure enough, it makes a huge difference. RIP Mors.

[@leemichel8199]

Miss you mors .God bless you and your family REST PEACEFUL! LEGEND . Lee

[@RathwulvenBushcraft]

The legend wearing Flecktarn. As a German, I feel honoured. :D

[@uncletoad1779]

He had such a modest and natural way of teaching. Guess he's wandering the eternal forest now showing the angels a trick or two.

[@loribreeuwsma]

I would like to think so. And telling stories around the campfire with all the greats that are with him.

[@Tinius]

It's amazing what 50 odd years of experience do for your knife work. LOL

[@joryd8262]

finding such wood is part of the skill

[@wolfmaan]

In 2022 this knowledge is as important as ever. It's fantastic to have it preserved.

[@robe1kanobe]

Attention to detail. awesome vid. There is a science to bushcraft.

[@davehumpleby3440]

So great being able to learn from the master of bushcraft.

[@Bassghost007]

Now THOSE were curls! Master of the bush

[@Wintertrekker]

Thanks again Mors! I learned more fine points about the skill.

[@bcarrozza7144]

this man is a genius

[@markuffindell]

Thank you Mors. I always enjoy your instruction. Very thorough.

[@GetMeThere1]

Sure would have been great to take a course with him...

[@engelwyre]

Not only useful in survival and bushcraft, but even when grilling food in a recreational setting.

[@Wastelander13]

Great video once again and thank you for teaching us!

[@oliversyre9066]

Very good information. I do it myself for a long time but still learned something. THX

[@dufus2273]

[@LesterRiverBushcraft]

[@Pawoodsman]

[@DinoDIY]

[@Nancytoday]

[@nicolasgonzalezsancho200]

[@The_Solo_Hiker]

Thank you for replying. Deeply appreciate it.

[@OzMan9989]

A legend.

[@briargoatkilla]

Awesome.

[@LumberjackDK]

Thanks a loth. Reallt good video. Nice knife.

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Mora, I had my Skookum Bush Tool made just like yours. I have mote a continuous curve. And it's awesome. But I had mine made in 3V.,,.

[@drcsep]

Professor Mors...

[@bushlifeaholick790]

Yes indeed

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Mr. K, Yeah, Your right, you need a sharp knife. Watching your videos with eagle eye attention, I ordered a Skookum Bush Tool with a continuous curve. Mr. Garcia made mine perfect, A true Artist. But too, Most recently I ordered a new S. O. G. Pillar Fix Blade, It's a fine one TOO. Just a F. Y. I..,,. p

[@The_Solo_Hiker]

What knife was that? It looked like a jacklore.

[@brianwilliams4395]

[@logiconabstractions6596]

Some vids you can just like before even wathcing

[@williamdroom5789]

Where can I find a Mors Pot?

[@Karamat]

They are no longer available.

[@BjornThorsson]

See when I do it its not straight...

[@MrThundermountainman]

Why does your knife have a hole in the blade?

[@AndrewMansvelt]

It doesn't have a hole in the blade. But if you are referring too the holes in the handle, those are simply hollow rivets which are holding the handle on.

[@MrThundermountainman]

It has a hole near the tip, if you watch the video carefully you'll see it. Obviously the holes near the handle are for the handle. After research the hole near the blade is to stick a nail in and to pivot the knife for a shearing effect.

[@AndrewMansvelt]

Okay, I just thought that was dirt or something! Thanks for sharing that info though, I've never seen that on a knife before.

[@americanpatriot3667]

It's a shearing whole to stick a nail in or something

[@NWBushman]

where was the wood he used in the demonstration manufactured? It's not magic, mother nature produces straight grained wood all the time. When the tree falls & lays there long enough, it becomes seasoned. Of course he chose the best for the demonstration. Anyone can find the ideal wood for this in the bush. (not being argumentative, just my opinion)

[@zoehancock]

Not in north Wales...
