Forward Thinking Backwards with Kochanski and Harlton

[@phillipg7315]

I learned more in 24 minutes here than I would in 24 months elsewhere. Thank you!!!

[@islandjason]

I know Im a little late to the party, but I just love these old videos of Mors. What a treasure you both are. Thank you

[@whiskeyriver4322]

Farewell Grand Master........... my life is so much more gratifying because of your generous and heartfelt lessons. May God keep you forever watching over earth's woodsmen. We will miss you tremendously. We love you Mors

[@logiconabstractions6596]

Love how Mors managed to get out there and do survival & bushcraft vids pretty much right until the end. That's passion & dedication.

[@drunkenblacklocustbushcraf2857]

When The Master Yoda of Bushcraft speaks we listen.

[@ElectricPhantasmagoria]

I would like to extend my deepest gratitudes for such comprehensive and useful thinking in the area of bushcraft, and all for free. Thankyou guys!

[@fadingmargins]

This is radical thinking indeed. As with all enthusiasms people want rules and once they decide something is a rule ("the way of doing it") they enforce that rule. But what I am hearing you say is that there are ways of doing things that work but that doesn't mean that there isn't a myriad of other ways of doing the same thing. In short, there are many ways but no rules - only results.

[@backwoodstrails]

They have a quarter the subscribers as the bushcraft "KZbin Stars" and give 100 times the knowledge!

[@HarryLowry]

Well said n so true !

[@newlife155]

More good information per second than you could think possible , super, gentlemen.!

[@1mataleo1]

Man, do I miss Mors. I never met him, but I learned so much from his books and videos. I’m forever indebted to him. He truly was a walking encyclopedia of woodcraft wisdom and experience. If there is any sort of afterlife, I hope to meet him on the other side

[@whiskeyriver4322]

There is never an end to learning. Additionally, it's always great to see our favorite Bushman, Mors. I envy you Kelly. Thank you gentlemen.

[@OzMan9989]

These are hands down the best novel bushcrafting ideas I’ve seen in a while. So much on the internet is mimicry. I appreciate this innovative thinking. Thank you.

[@alexsweet8585]

I don't know why I'm just now seeing this, but it's a great video Kelly. Hope to see more in the future.

[@fredprobst199]

Every time I learn the best way to do something, a better way comes along. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@Roarmeister2]

I love when people think less conventionally. Saved the video for future reference as well.

[@mortenkalland]

Veldig fine og nyttige tips. Takk for god video! Hilsen fra Norge

Best 24 Mins of my April Quarantine yet! :)

[@curtiscf1986]

I love these videos. They actually share knowledge instead of endorsing some hanky new product. Thank you for doing this.

[@MartinVoois-b6i]

Thank you. 🤠👍👌

[@KettleCamping]

Great video! Thank you! 👍

[@Bear-gl4sf]

What a great video. 👍

[@truckerenoch8824]

Looking at things backwards has served me well! Even if you're completely convinced you're doing something right, but it's not working, try some wrong!

[@max_fjellstorm]

Thank you for so much context and knowledge for free in one video! You’re awesome

[@kurtbaier6122]

Mors is the real deal. Glad. So glad Kelly will continue his legacy and knowledge.

[@davef5916]

So much safer and efficient on all accounts. Just smart. Thank you so much for sharing your hard earned knowledge.

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Great advice. We should always try to stay "outside the box " in order to keep our skills sharp. Thanks so much!

[@rammur1]

Great to see Mors and you, thanks !

[@blueeyeswhitedragon9839]

Thank-you. It is amazing what you can learn in a few minutes, even after many years of camping. The idea of looking at a problem from the other side for a solution can shortcut a lot of failed attempts of trying go do the same thing over & over, expecting better results.

[@lurveleggoutdoors9930]

Truly an educational 25 minutes! This way of thinking we need in an environment as the wilderness but I think also in life in general! Thanks again!🇳🇴

[@davidcrane5984]

This is pure gold. I always learn from Kelly & More' videos.

[@lovebikesmustride]

KZbin heeds the capacity to allow me more than one like, well presented kind sirs

Great mind bender. Proud to be Swedish! Many of the great Swedish innovations are dreamt up during Fika breaks at 9a and 3p across all business in Sweden.

[@adriancarabajal]

Waiting to see you guys again on my second trip to Canada during the bushcraft symposium, I don't need a therapy....you are my therapy!!, Adrian.

[@jayberrymiller1146]

Looking forward to seeing you there!

[@Kinetic.44]

Why is it that double bit axes aren't very common? Mor's comment really made the ultimate choice for me I think they are great.

[@Rockheadsling]

Love that knife sharpening technique!

[@adampablodayc]

Nice tips, and great demo,thanks guys.In a backwards world,thinking backwards is actually foward thinking,ha ha,got it.

[@Bushmanschool]

Respect to the bushcraft legends.

[@OzMan9989]

Love the “kindling on top” method for hypothermic conditions. If canoeing or kayaking, and I take a dunk, this method is much easier to pull off quickly. I usually pack two 6 inch mini flares in a ziplock so I’m guaranteed a fire but this idea is great in case I have nothing.

[@ED-on8to]

This is great knowledge! Thank you!

[@davehumpleby3440]

Excellent food for thought.

[@thevideostump46239]

Awesome

[@elvinamillaneam]

What a wonderful video, great tips out of box thinking...

[@mannihh5274]

Knives made from laminated steel have soft flanks, so a 90°spine doesn't spark and shave as well as normal blades, but some people love them. The same with blades that are differnetially hardened. I carry a 3" piece of a broken pair of scissors - very hard, very sharp edges - shaves and strikes better than any knife I own!

[@Ratchety]

Thanks for the shout out about the bark scraping with the back of the knife guys! Desperation breeds innovation they say! Later on, I was impressed that I could almost mill my spruce trees into octagons with little effort... also a handy technique perhaps to safely continue your work if your knife handling (follow through) gets loose when you are tired, or perhaps a mechanical advantage for younger or smaller framed students as well. IMHO Great video, thank you for sharing. Take care - Ken

[@nacholibre1962]

Great to see the 4th skill being taught. 23:44 Epiphany.

[@voodoopepper2008]

10/10. The best of the best! Cheers!

[@dominiqueritchey6795]

Very good.

[@bmc2266]

Great!!

[@benjaminlivesfree8649]

I've always thought I was an out of the box thinker. Upon watching this video I've realized I must find a new way to use my knife and cut my way out of the box that I'm duck taped in.

[@downeastprimitiveskills7688]

Enjoyed this very much, thank you both. I have pushed wood across my bow saw for a long time, have to try the baton and axe method. I also often hold my knife and move the stone across the bevel, the knife stays stationary with its short registry of the bevel the longer stone is easier to keep in plane and maintain the angle. Good stuff.

[@matthewbrown6163]

Great Ideas - when it's cold & you need a fire fast these ideas are perfect as well as you can always teach an old dog new tricks :)

[@uweklinge]

thanks for sharing your wisdom, great team!

@karamatwildernessways Extremely informative and useful. This is really good stuff even though when you think about it, it seems quite simple. Thank you for sharing!

[@redbeard6606]

Another great video this information will be a helpful addition to my tool box thank you.

[@edwardstagner1021]

Wow you guys are really knowledgeable that was a lot of information short time thanks for the posting. I’ll share the video and it has all the implications for the trades.

[@fcernst]

Brilliant tips!

[@AFamilyOutdoors]

Very good video, I very much enjoyed this one. Alot of great content here. Give yourselves a pat on the back gentlemen!

[@fjb4932]

A Family Outdoors, Thinking outside the box: Give your hand a pat with your back...

[@kaizoebara]

You will not ruin the temper of the knife by scraping a ferrocerium rod against the back. While the temperature is certainly hot enough, the neccessary amount of heat just isn't there. Feathersticks catch fire at around 300°C and ferrocerium sparks can reach up to 3,000°C, yet they often fail to ignite on the first few tries, because the tiny sliver of burning ferrocerium often doesn't transfer enough heat. Using the edge of the knife to scrape might be more sketchy, however, you would only manage to affect the temper on a miniscule portion of the very apex. The scraping action against the ferrocerium will likely cause more damage to the edge than the short spike in temperature.

[@nacholibre1962]

kaizoebara That’s not the point he’s making. The issue is that as the sparks are directed down, they are capable of coming into contact with the knife’s edge which is of course very thin/fine and it is the edge that can be affected by the spark, not the spine, etc.

[@kaizoebara]

@@nacholibre1962 That seems about equally unlikely.

[@chriscook215]

That was good. Switch it around and see what happens. Thanks !

[@Trailtraveller]

Great tips !

[@Dominique_Oliveira]

Like always, new ideias and tecnics. ;)

[@johnlord8337]

10* Excellent ideas for doing it the smart way. Move the limb versus throwing the saw all over the place. Saw for a stable axe or knife blade when splintering wood.

[@switchblade_jim]

Class act

[@johnruckman2320]

Tell me about that sharpening board. How do I put the point back on my pocket knife blade?

[@oxygen9953]

Not gonna lie, I was really hoping for a timelapse of a fire started by that last 5 stack log and twig/grass bundle. The Bushcraft book opens with the life giving nature of fire so I need to learn all I can.

[@garyminick1050]

Pretty ingenious

[@Ade4fish]

Mors Kochanski. He of the flip-flop winch. What a legend.

[@trapperscout2046]

Rest in Peace Mors. You were a great contributor to Bushcraft.

[@whiskeyriver4322]

"I will build me a camp by a cool mountain spring, Where the trout play at eve and the wood thrushes sing; I will roof it with bark; and my snug sylvan house, Shall be sweet with the fragrance of evergreen boughs. When the shadows of night settle down on the marsh, And the cry of the bittern booms sullen and harsh, The glow of my hearth-fire shall glisten and shine; Where the beech and the hemlock their branches entwine." ~ G.W. Sears aka Nessmuk 1887 ......................RIP Mors Kochanski 10 November 1940 ~ 5 December 2019

[@pascalmarti4403]

nice knife. where can i get one?

[@Karamat]

The guys are using the Skookum Bush Tool. skookumbushtooldotcom

[@pascalmarti4403]

@@Karamat thank you for the fast reply. sadly i can't seem to find any seller here in switzerland.

[@Karamat]

@@pascalmarti4403 It is run by Rod Garcia who makes these knives himself. I believe the waiting list for one is about 3 years, maybe longer.

[@Essiee261]

Heisenberg! He's alive!

[@sloanIrrigation]

What knife are you using?

[@najroe]

They use a "Skookum Bush Tool" More or less a full tang mora with thicker blade and a plate pommel welded on at back of handle. it also has s slightly wider blade than a mora 2 and longer belly (curve from tip to handke has larger radius)

Dont move the blade...move the material. I like it.

[@DeeMoback]

use it or lose it

[@nealgrey6485]

7:41 A bit too close to the femoral artery for my comfort.

[@truckerenoch8824]

1. you're not moving the knife, so the risk of cutting is almost completely gone. 2. The femoral artery is on the inside of the leg. 3. You don't have to brace the knife as far up as he did. In fact you don't have to brace directly against your leg at all. You could place a small branch along your leg. These are just guidelines to help you think outside the box.

[@michaelharm677]

Epiphany

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

The teeth are the hardened part of the blade and to say they don't work is the dumbest thing ever said. The teeth will throw far more sparks then any other striker. It will granted chew up the Ferro rod much faster. But to really think out side of the box use one of the ends what the blade was snapped off. The biggest thing is the ability to think.

[@cautiouslyoptimistic6185]

You should have titled your video.....ass backwards !!!
