RIP, Sir. Thank you for sharing your hard-earned knowledge.

[@jameshutto3047]

He was amazing

Mors Kochanski... Canada's greatest contribution to environmental awareness.

[@m.jenkins8503]

Iam glad I saw this video. He was a very practical surviving. One that I admired the most.

[@ryszpolski]

RIP Mors Kochański, great man, beautiful soul.

[@markpoore3260]

The world just didn’t lose a person it lost an encyclopedia of outdoor living skills and survival knowledge when Mr. Kohanski passed

[@GuardianPrepping]

Brought here by the suggestion from David and Nick Pearson, loved this video. Mors was a legend and will live on across the world through his teachings, subbed and will study his works and books. Blessings to his family.

[@erasamus1057]

that moving shelter idea is a 200+ iq play, how did i only just find this legend?!🤯

[@truincanada]

Only in Canada you say? Pity.

Mars Kochanski is the OG of Wilderness Survival. I’ve seen him pack a coffee an with everything he needs, and then carved his fork with a knife…

Bear grylls is what his last name implies a bare gryll.

That last shelter was like a small cabin- AWESOME! And I agree he deserves all the credit!!

[@tomlambert1833]

Wish I had known this fine man when he was alive..

[@ChrisD11284]

This is awesome! I've just discovered Mors, and as I am new to bushcraft, I count my self lucky! He has invented a modern/traditional Forrest igloo/yurt. It's a neo native semi perminant shelter. This guy rocks!

[@scottbainetwisted_keel_adv5821]

Mors you are so intelligent and so helpful. All the time you have put into the art of bushcraft and survival is astonishing. I too mu hat to you sir. If I had the money and could afford it I sure wish I could come and meet you and join in your last classes you have coming up. I ask my instructor if he could go and take me but we realized we just could not come up with the money. So maybe I can meet you some how some day. Take care Mors

[@Zedoutdoors]

What a superb and informative video, thanks you for taking the time to share this. Kind regards from London ~Peace~

[@richardpeterson3753]

I appreciate your wisdom. I'm sure you hear it often and your probably tired of it but I feel it's honorable to give credit where credits due. and your knowlage is invaluble

[@AlbertaBushcrafter]

Excellent video, Mors! I especially liked the movable shelter as is's very ingenious and versatile. And thanks for the books too - I still have my original Northern Bushcraft book that I bought in 1989 and it's been my primary inspiration since then.

[@Antho2529]

do you have a link of where to buy that book?

[@bashkillszombies]

Did you know flat white paint reflects light better than mylar? I don't know about heat, but it would stand to reason given heat in that case is radiated, as is light. I had recycled chip packets to make a grow house for my plants to get them started indoors in. And a nerdy friend of mine told me the above, and suggested I use flat white paint on another to test the two. Absolutely drastic difference. It's because flat white refracts evenly where as shiny mylar merely 'lenses' the heat into various hotspots many not on target, missing plants entirely, and squandering entire foot sized areas of space.

[@Wintertrekker]

Thanks Mors for sharing your knowledge!

[@mikewagenblast8504]

Spring of 2021 for us - thank you.

[@zingerflippinz2066]

I just ordered 2 of his books. I know survival but I want to teach my grandson. He can study these books for a couple of months and I will test him during summer vacation. Hiking on the Baker trail from Pgh. to pints South.

[@MountainRaider]

excellent ideas! i do have a parachute canopy and was thinking what kind of shelter can be used for except the teepee style shelter... thank you for sharing!

[@randybreeuwsma3049]

The polyethylene that we use is 6mill cgsb which is UV resistant. We have had that on our shelters for many years with out it breaking down. We can get it 20' wide which covers a large area.

Outstanding to see that 16 person super shelter...nay, super hotel! Thank you Mr Kochanski for sharing your knowledge, understanding and innovation with us so generously! And to KWW for filming these for prosterity. (One day you should get a better microphone though ;))

[@nacholibreri]

He’s the best!

[@Yukon12gauge00buck]

I have one that is 18 months old and its still standing strong. I like the bigger model I'd leave the end open on one side for my ATV and a small trapper stove. Sounds like my winter project. I like the shelter for moist areas to get up off the ground and usually there are lots of small tree in a swampy area. Thanks for the high tech wigwams like shelters! Please do a video on your simple northern leanto with a weaved bed of spruce.

[@AFamilyOutdoors]

Mors is and always will be the grandfather of bushcraft! Very intelligent and sharing man, thanks for this video. Hope to make it to karamat one day to meet you in person!

[@44szaman]

Hej! Świetny film, świetna atmosfera. Dzięki!

[@notsurluap]

Thanks for sharing Mors. If you had additional time/resources perhaps adding a second wall would provide an insulating layer of air between external transparent plastic and the inner layers. The air space between the walls would provide insulation similar to the snow of an igloo. If the outer layer were transparent it would act like a greenhouse to trap the warm air.

[@bushlifeaholick790]

I can see myself trying this this winter Thank u sir

[@Biglandtrapper]

I can see myself using a shelter like this on the trapline, great ideas, thanks for sharing ...!!

[@wheres-myangels4986]

Brilliant and awesome great utilization of your life.

[@jasoncurtis1981]

When the grid goes down won't have access to this valuable info . I'd recommend buying all his books they will be worth more than gold when it happens. Mors is the best in his field. All the experts , military, scouts, etc have learned from his teachings. I'd like to recommend far north bushcraft as well for beginners

[@tjellis1479]

Many More Mors videos-please.

[@johnfuller6338]

Would love to see mora actually building this shelter, don't have the money to get his videos, but have read his articles an subbed to his KZbin channel.

[@Ratchety]

Thank you for sharing this video. I really want to take your winter survival course next year.

[@goofy9886]

Good Video! the mors kochanski Super shelter was my favorite

[@jeanwarech4982]

Excellent video, Mors!

[@jelkel25]

I've seen the top part done in many variations to suit material availability and environment, I've heard them referred to as tinkers shelters in parts of Ireland and Britain, roofing it with birch bark is a solution or if the branches are woven tight enough many things left behind by our throw away society can be used to roof it. The idea of making an off the floor base thats semi moveable and a framework to stretch the branches into is ''Super'', you can move the entrance towards the sun and out of the wind in cold weather or the whole shelter into shade in a hot environment, simple, brilliant! In the fairly near future I want to try to put an improvised British army field cooker (WW1 & 2 era) into the mobile version of this shelter with as little metal as possible in the construction as this could be a better solution in some situations and I just want to see if it can be done.

[@fredflintstone1547]

where does one acquire semi permeable material like parachute fabric?

[@SatsumaTengu14]

Why did he leave the leaves on the branches? Wouldnt that create a fire or safety hazard?

[@rudyo8409]

Great Vid' lot's of valuable knowledge, Thank you so much, for sharing.

[@ED-on8to]

Does the how does the shelter work without stove/ tent oven? Because in a survival situation you probably don‘t have that.

[@rancidcrawfish]

A fire right outside of it. The shelter becomes kind of a greenhouse

[@cindyneely6087]

outstanding

[@rubberducky41]

Great ideas! Thanks

[@reflexreaction3797]

what's the idea behind using the iglu shape? there won't be melting snow dripping from the ceiling anyway, so is it for the condensation?

[@0Plants0]

+reflexreaction its safe to say that the igloo shape was less because of snow dripping and more because of structural integrity. the arch shape makes an efficient and strong structure

[@3nertia]

They don't really drip. As I understand it, the heat from your body melts a thin layer on the inside (as the sun does on the outside) which then refreezes due to the thermal mass (there's more cold than not) which creates an insulating barrier. As long as there's snow outside, the shelter will be fine

[@douglasmcintyre3297]

Cody Lundin built a shelter like this on the first episode of Dual Survival. It was filmed during winter on the eastern coast of Nova Scotia. Does anyone know whether anyone sells a tarp or other material that is reflective on its inner side like mylar AND is impermeable like polyethylene on the other side? Sort of like an over-sized, pyramid-shaped reusable space blanket.

[@daphneraven6745]

Hey Douglas; did you come up with a covering that does what you have mind?

[@jeffbuzzard6837]

Really good video

[@LeeMorgan07]

Fantastic description of the super shelter. Definitely something I would try in the woods. For a longer term solution instead of light polyethelene, how does a transparent tarp work out. Especially if I want the plastic to last more than one setup?

[@LeeMorgan07]

I was thinking more like the reinforced tarps they sell that are semi clear since they are already grommeted and quite easy to find.

[@isaacm8267]

[@davidstarr6604]

Ever consider using a Dakota fire pit instead of putting a portable stove in those shelters?

[@3nertia]

I have! x]

[@3nertia]

Or a fire bed since a Dakota fire pit is more of a cooking fire and not a warming fire

[@howtogetoutofbabylon8978]

[@g.forster6233]

This is a great video! It has a wealth of knowledge and is delivered by a prestigious woodsman in a great format - subbed, liked, commented! ;) [rant] Also, just because I'm a little OCD with math -- @ 10:45 -- he said there's 18 sleeping platforms, but moments later he says there are 4 alcoves with *about* 6 each, this would be *about* 24 platforms. So perhaps 4 alcoves with *about* 5 each, which is closer to 20 platforms, would be more accurate of an over-under... the numeral 20 is closer to 18 than 24. [/rant]

[@edwardcharles9764]

Sorry I just can't see what's "super" about this. It's a basic shelter anyone handy with their hands could construct, with various ideas of using modern materials to seal it from the weather. Without the modern materials you could use wattle and daub, mud, clay or even cattle dung - things that have been used for hundreds of years.

[@novascotiahomesteading455]

"... various ideas of using modern materials to seal it from the weather". Thats what makes it super. The concept of using the modern material to hold in body heat or other sources of heat for a covering is what makes it a super shelter compared to a lean-to that's open to the elements and dependant on a constant fire being tended all night. You'd be surprised how many can't make a shelter well enough to survive in.

[@edwardcharles9764]

Fallon Wilson I wouldn't be surprised at how many can't make a shelter, as I'm not surprised at how many can't knock a bloody in! What surprises me is the amount of people who think so many, NEED to make a survival shelter!
