Survival Knives at Winter Camping Symposium 2017

Mors couldn't make the Winter Camping Symposium near Duluth, MN so he did a presentation for it where he talks about Knives and then the Space Age Tools he loves.

RIP Mors. This video is as good as the day it was made, a true bushcraft and survival legend

[@rhodes870]

RIP Mors. So much knowledge passed on during your years on this planet.

[@glennyhombomb4170]

R.i.p. guru mors its easy to listen to you because everything you say is true! Pleased you did these videos sir awsome

[@bidenisdog8294]

This man is a prime example of knowlede is the true value of survival and there's no replacing that with any amount of money or new technology.

[@brianspencer4220]

Hi Mors: from one 77 year old to another ; I enjoy hearing & learning from you. Yes we slow down & avoid portages but sitting to the side is not yet an option. Thanks Brian 77

[@cabinman]

Mors has forgotten more than most of us has learned. Understanding the relationship of permeability, vapor, and temperature is key.

[@funfrankie8990]

Mors, you are one of the most brilliant minds in the world when it comes to outdoor/survival skills! I had the opportunity to meet you in 2001in PEI and witness first hand the magic of fire with a bow drill. I remembered thinking when you said "it is a bit chilly and windy here today so it will probably take the better part 20 seconds to get a fire started" this guy is full of .... but when you made fire it was one of the most incredible things I had ever witnessed first hand in my life. I went home and practiced and practiced then finally made my own magic. You Mr. Kochanski have inspired and touched so many people when it comes to outdoor skills. Thank-you for sharing your Knowledge!

God bless Mors Kochanski, and his fellow instructors!!! Thank you for your time and attention to this comment, best regards.

[@gavingaming123]

Mors is still the most informative genuine bush living instructors. Thanks for sharing. All the very best from Scotland. Garry

[@davidcrane5984]

I could listen to Mors for hours and hours. I don't think I've ever watched one of his videos without learning something new. This stuff is pure gold - but more useful.

[@kurtbaier6122]

Classic Mors, classic info, classic greatness. He is our guru of woods wisdom.

[@KnifeCrazzzzy]

I am sorry you couldn't make it this year 😞 but am grateful for you going out of your way and sharing your legendary knowledge with us Mors, thank you!!! 😊

[@matthewhusband3477]

The grand syllabus is really an indispensable source of knowledge. Thanks Mors for writing it, and continuing to share your knowledge and experience.

[@michaelschnock3998]

Dear Mors, i deeply appreciate what you share , show and teach.- meanwhile i am "only" 46 years old, and bushcraft (i am even not sure if it was named like that back than) was and is a vital part in my life since approx 35 years. the most true thing i have read is " the more you know the less you (have to ) carry. " Its really good to know that some one is there who knows important knowledge. thank you very much.

[@joestone7207]

i feel honored to be able to see a living legend on of all places youtube.thanks Mors

[@nomadicoasis9260]

Thank you Mors for your life's work you've blessed so many . I read your book Bush craft 21 years ago you shortened the learning curve by years. thank you.

[@pastorpfp1]

We are very blessed to have this woodsmen still making videos. God bless Mors ! He is one of a kind!

[@madmartigan8774]

Regardless of how much I think I know about a particular subject. I can watch one of your videos on said subject and still come away with something new. Your videos are truly appreciated! I will never get tired of listening to you teach. Happy birthday Mors.

[@jamescrowe7892]

This man is a veritable treasure trove of knowledge and information. I came across his videos only a few months ago. I can only imagine what learning from him first hand could do to enhance one's confidence in oneself and diminish one's fears of being alone in a wilderness environment. RIP sir.

[@thomasmusso1147]

Gems of Common Sense .. Simple .. Basic .. Nothing Fancy. From the Master .. Respect.

[@davidcollishaw2771]

I spent hours chatting to mors around the camp fire, I hope he stays well. Age comes to us all

[@randythomas3478]

I would hope that you continue KZbin videos with much desire, as you still can teach many! I have much knowledge, myself. But, at 55, I have more to learn. And, a desire to learn more. "Bo" in North Carolina USA. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE AND STILL DO!

[@legrandfromage9682]

Always good to see an upload from the man himself 👍and I don't want to hear this nonsense about "getting on in the years", you're looking as good as ever

[@aktrapper6126]

Appreciate your expertise Mr. Mors. Keeep making these videos as long as you can. This is information that needs to be captured and kept. Thank you.

[@craftybynature3760]

Happy birthday Mors always good to see the godfather of bushcraft. Thanks for all you have done.

[@wis1024]

happy birthday mors. the video is greatly appreciated

[@mikelee2490]

Always a pleasure Mors keep them comming when you can please thank you for your wisdom. I appreciate you!

[@teeps3848]

imagine showing up for class and you "forgot your knife" and as a result you got a chance to buy a cheap Mors knife for almost nothing

[@ryanadam1153]

The orange Full Tang knife looked like it is the LT Wright Lagoom. I own the smaller model called the lt wright kamrat in o1. Thanks for everything youve taught me Mors. Hope this finds you well

[@addicted2tone349]

Thank you for the video sir. It's an honor to get knowledge from the old guard. Much respect to you!

[@BushCampingTools]

I'm a subber of yours, No BS here of course. Great words of real wisdom that everyone purporting to be "experts", should listen to. Yep Scandi grind any one can keep it sharp. Thanks for posting.

[@kenr1067]

Mors, thanks for another video. I've always enjoyed and learned from them. Happy Birthday, and many more!..... Ken

[@haakonww]

Thank you Mors!. Legend !. All the best from Sandvik

[@marcrichardson1754]

Great video thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@DavyRayVideo]

Thanks, Mors. Keep reminding us about the essentials.

[@TheGrenadier97]

I think Mors would like the Morakniv Eldris. Very handy little knife.

[@Karamat]

He did like it very much.

[@prostarmansd]

Thank you so very much Mors! I've learned a great deal from you over the years, been watching, reading, and practicing what you've shared so generously for quite some time now. Sincerely thank you.

[@anstef1485]

Thank you for sharing. Did a quick search for a black fabric with reflective coating, and found that Seattle Fabric makes one. Fairly expensive though.

[@neil_castell]

happy birthday Mors ... thanks for the video

[@zackedwards7803]

Great video sir, You are very respected by many, me included. Please keep up the useful information . Thank you for all your info.

[@jasonpettit9984]

Thanks mors. The man who knows real Bushcraft ☺

[@artesdomatojoaocarmo]

Good video, beautiful collection!!!

[@NomadicWoodsman]

Great video! Mors alwahs so interesting ! Good work on the B roll with the close up shots of the knives :)

[@brewingtime]

So awesome to here from Mors! Always interesting and informative. Thank you!

[@ghanaboyz]

Solid video, so much wisdom and passion. Love to see that yawara stick application again. Having the rod inside that cover/container to protect the rod from water and having some magnesium on top of that... seems to have some though put into the design. Other ferro rods with an integrated cover container seems too short for a big hand or doesn't have that solid look. Don't recall seeing other having magnesium on the surface of the cover (and the magnesium should not react to water). Clever. I also like that the grip is not tiny considering I might need the fire making when I am very frozen. Yes, some ferro rods have big grips, but far from all. Also clever to be able to have some vaselin cotton in that tiny integrated storage: I tend to want everything needed for a specific task in one place so when frozen and tired in the dark, there is less risk of messing up by not finding gear in a timely manner. The tool showed in this channel is not easy to find these days or so it seems. Was that Robert Withrow Jr. or Senior? I do wonder if the tool is still sold somewhere.

[@billyblastoff7027]

Thank you for sharing your skills that you have learned invented and still do to the test.

[@71wicker]

Happy birthday mors! Please keep making videos!!

[@Kinetic.44]

Im really glad he named the knives

[@AldoSchmedack]

12:00 Seven because that is the perfect number in wrapping strands around a single middle strand, so sic plus one is seven. It’s a geometric thing in the way you make the lines.

[@NagualeroArt]

happy bday Mors!

[@robertbrunston5406]

Great information! Thank you so much.

[@rudyo8409]

Love the vid'' I bow to the master. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Go Karamat !!!

[@tallcedars2310]

Good to see you Mors! I carry the Mora Black. You have given me some great ideas to arm it with an inner tube:) And being prone to slivers, adding tweezers is ideal. The Survival Blanket should be called a sheet. Had expected one to be a blanket that would cover me but it was only good as a wrap in the rain, bag got soaked... Ended up buying three larger ones and tossing them into my pack. Great video, thanks Mors! Just wondering about getting a close up of your bandsaw knife from 30 years ago. Then if I ever come across one I'll know what I have:)

[@nacholibre1962]

0:51 Mors's humour. Awesome!

[@zeros_knives_and_bushcraft.]

Mors is truly a tresure trove of knolege. He has likely forgot more than i will ever know.

[@James-ke5sx]

I bought a Condor bushlore on your advice. I discovered 3,000lb paracord that had been inaccurately described on Amazon, Walmart and even the manufacturers web site since it was first released a few years ago. Contacted them and I bought 100ft, plus 100ft 1,200lb paracord, just to see. Interesting rope. Take care young man, eh.

[@bobinmontana777]

So much knowledge, many resources available from you, Thanks! I would want to know where to get the large magnesium ferro rod thing you have. I bet you laugh at all the hype surrounding large "chopper" or survival knives.

[@DJInsidiousCliff]

Mr. Kochansky, thank you sir!

[@maineoutdoorsman677]

Happy birthday sir great videos from mid coast Maine Waldoboro

[@WildernessRocks]

Maybe five years later I’m still waiting on my skookum request … I got it and love it. Good things come to those who wait.

[@mikeboone4425]

Will there young fellow I'm new to this you tube thing at 74 years old I think I can still learn might night remember, but I can still learn, memory still great like a iron trap but short . all kidding aside sad to you couldn't make to your get together . As for the knives just pick up my first Scandi blade love it. But Let's face it here in the west in California I'm just a bowie guy since I was old enough to earn money and buy one ,I have never found anything I could not do with it I guess dad never told me I could not do that with that blade I just did it . So all this stuff I see on you tube all the new steels every body calling what I have shit steel is just nuts to me but that's how it is . . HAPPY TRAILS YOUNG MAN LATER .

[@renato3]

The mind is most important. It can make any blade work. So your Bowie is just fine 😁.

[@nicodutch5859]

Thanks, beautiful vid

[@JohnAEglin]

Thank you , sir .

[@raymondbailey1970]

i see your point on the mylar bag if it was clear you would have an instant super shelter.

[@andykowalczyk5598]

Could you please tell us your thoughts on Grohmann knives particularly #1,#3 and #4 survival? Did you ever use any of their products?Thank You .

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIR, to many more yrs of robust health

[@SLG1911]

Always good to hear it straight from the man. What was that magnesium cigar that held a watertight chamber in one end and a ferro rod in the other? Maybe the Mag Stryker System?

[@ghanaboyz]

Mag Striker by SOL? No. Doesn't look close. I believe the old "cigar" item shown here can't be found for buying any more. Pretty unique item shown by Mors.

[@eXPreSS1onZ]

Thank you for sharing

[@44szaman]

Good prezentation! Thanks!

[@juliusgonzo7527]

GREAT STUFF, Love it !

[@StevanOutdoor]

That Sandvik steel Mora is the Mora no1. It's laminated steel. It was always the more expensive Mora together with the full tang (lapplander series) hunting knives. They also came with leather sheaths. Often they call the red painted handle Mora's no 1 but they are actually the budget ones called no 2. That Jason Gustavson/Ben Piersma knife with the orange handle I really like. Too bad it's in O1 tool steel. Not the best for the climate I live in or visit.

[@manbunnmcfanypakjustacoolg4965]

I get excited everytime he says sloyed.

[@mrbakerskatz]

Great Talk Mors

[@281covfefe5]

Mors kohanski one of the legends !! Wonder if bushcrafters on u tube hve listened 2 this ?? #maga #keepbushcraftreal

[@max_fjellstorm]

Is Rod Garcia still in business or still alive ?

[@Gloszz]

Is Mr. Kochański Polish? Just wondering because seems like a Polish name and I am looking for hunting tips in the area.

[@alf3553]

Well done. And Happy Birthday 77 🎂

The nylon bonded Mylar martial is nor rear. It is used to make grow tents used in hydroponics. Google is your friend, just look up nylon Mylar and your find it.

[@lucky231323]

who is " Rob Withrow(?)" and where can I find that Magnesium ferro cigar combo?

[@IntoTheWildernessBushcraft]

A library of knowledge closed when this gentleman died. Thanks for the skills, Mors. 🥾🏔️

[@Julian-bq9qv]

Such a fine gentleman

[@hobbexp]

Happy Birthday

[@brewingtime]

Search "201t nylon ripstop reflective fabric for photographic equipment" I think this is the stuff used in the photograph studio reflectors Mors is referring to. Or at least very close. It seems the lightest weight material I could find... Cheers

[@mikaelkagero6367]

Thanks Mors! By the way, ny father is 78 years old and still going strong.😊

[@mikaelkagero6367]

You are one of thé best!

[@triciaanne5695]

Salute!

[@schlooonginator1227]

Great that Mors agrees thatits silly to waste space of cutting edge near the handle. I never understood the point of choils,including small sharpening choils. What difference would it make even if you were unable to sharpen it right to the handle if you put a stupid choil there its worse than dull because now it catches everything you try to cut.

[@triffh5956]

What's the brand name of the robust knives.

[@blizte3]

your hero to many sir god bless

[@raymondbailey1970]

Mors what i done with my dd tarp was rub it all over with bees wax and went over that with hair dryer havent used though bcoz i have a military poncho that does my doos.
