#MorsKochanski #KaramatWildernessWays
My favorite book is Bushcraft by Mors Kochanski.
I can't stop watching your videos, sooooo much knowledge delivered in an entertaining way. glad i came across your channel.
Can't help but love this guy!
Sir your great passion for the outdoors stirs a fire within me to say "so long" to my life & just go out and restart in the wilderness
I directly had to order all books which are not in my library allready.. In terms of buscraft Mors is the measure of all things to me.
So please keep on sharing your well grown knowledge, we very appreciatte it.
Greetings from switzerland
You're the best, Mors. I have always thrived on books. People think I'm crazy because I have so many. Good titles here.
Thanks Mors! Hi Karamat, yes I would like to hear more about Mor's favourite books.
Thanks for sharing your books Mors.
Thanks for sharing your amazing knowledge. Good video.

Is this Morse Code
Great Tips, I have to get some of them, would be happy if you going on with recommendations, many thanks to Mors and you guys for you work on youtube, take care Taro
I already have two out of those seven on my bookshelf! (And others more recently added that Mors suggested)
Thank you for sharing
I am a retired science and technology teacher (also raised on a farm or ranch) and I whole-heartedly agree with your assessment of book knowledge-that it is a good initial source, but that it must be tested in a hands-on environment! I’ve also read many scientific papers published as true accounts which were pure garbage with no evidence presented whatsoever. These books you love are among my favorite books also. I have also read and reread these types of books from the time I could read books like Wildwood Wisdom, Daniel Beard's books, books from the Fur, Fish, and Game on trapping and snaring, and others of this type were either purchased, or more likely, checked out from the school libraries time and again. I have collected and cashed in many pop bottles to save enough money to buy those books from the Fur, Fish, and Game magazine. My dad and his brothers were hunters and woodsmen of the first order, their dad, my grandfather was Cherokee and many of the “survival” techniques I learned from them was replayed over and over as I accompanied them into the woods and mountains. Much of what I learned in the mountains of California and the woods and hills of Oklahoma I used during 2 tours of duty in the jungles of VietNam as a Marine NCO. One of the most valuable skills I had was the ability to “see” what was normal in nature and what was not-this skill came only from years in the woods and watching my Dad and uncles ”see”. Please present more of your favorite books.
God Bless Mors, I was born in 53 so he is 78, I pray for his transition through the vale be easy!
thanks M ors I have tons of reading to do!
More book reviews would be great. Thanks
You can't ask for anything more than experience...I love my grandfather who fought in wwII but this has taught me so much
Funny, I just spent all day researching on about 40 survival experts and authors to get some new reading material. Thanks Mors, keep it. Coming please :)
Mors, as a kid growing up in Alaska, my favorite book was "Northern Bushcraft". Before that, it was Bradford Angiers "How to survive in the Wilderness". I've owned both since the eighties, and as a northern kid, nothing else came close.
Mr. Kochanski, if you are looking for a more concise book(let) on knots, might I suggest Knots and Splices, by Des Pawson. It was copywritten in 2001, by Prospero Books. Like you, I bought it at a young age and digested it constantly. It's about a handspan square, and as thick as my thumb, with amazing descriptions and photographs. I highly recommend it. Thanks for sharing some of your library with us. Take care.
By all means we can never get enough of Mors's knowledge and wisdom.
I have Wood Smoke by Ellsworth Jaeger
Love the drawings
Ready for that Top 100 now.
As well as more of his favourite woodcraft books, it would also be interesting to see if there are any works of fiction Mors would recommend for their bushcraft content? I remember being bitten with the bushcraft bug at an early age (long before I knew that was what it was) by reading of the adventures of Natty Bumpo, Huck Finn, The Swiss Family Robinson etc. I'd certainly be very interested in such a list from Mors, although I may be alone in this!
I would like to hear more please and if you (KWW) would'nt mind taking a minute of your time to add the list in the discription that would help alot
The Ashley book of knots can by bought from the Lee Valley Tools site.
Man he must know so much about survival!!
your the MAN mors kochanski

Thanks for the vids but the left channel only audio is killing me :-)
For a short, inspiring read, check out '48 to Alaska and Back, the journey and the journal'.
It's a fictional story with adventure and soul.
