Vintage Mors Kochanski
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 гру 2014
- Filmed by Lars Falt in 1995 in Jukkasjarvi, Sweden at the International Survival Conference that was hosted by the Swedish Army. There were approximately 150 students from the Swedish Army. The footage is rough and was converted from PAL format but it is nostalgia at it's best. In this video Mors instructs ski shoe construction and a talk on using knife skills to remove bark. Stayed tuned for a few more Vintage videos from this conference.

Every single video of Mors no matter the subject is chock-full of valuable information. He must have the record for most useful information given per minute of talking than any person I've ever heard.
I guess, he makes contraptions and wittles?
Prof. surv. Kochanski himself. The legend!
He has so much knowledge that he can't get it all out . Amazing man!
Fantastic! Many pearls of wisdom in there with the snowshoe, stick peeling and knife lessons.
That’s the Mors style I learned from so well when I taught his brilliance in Calgary circa 1990-2010. Best decades of my life spent with this man.
This is invaluable content. A pleasure to watch. I hope it will be preserved for future generations.
I tend to go back after some time to watch these videos again. It is then I realize that some parts not pointed out are hidden gems of knowledge. It might be that Mors either think his audience already knows or that he just briefly mentions things in that flood of knowledge while keeping focused on the topic at hand. It may also, very likely, be that one has to be at the "right level" to understand what Mors tries to teach and use that. Either way, great video and a wealth of insight and information, thanks!
Great video! Thank you for posting! Please keep the Master Mors videos coming! Very underappreciated woodsman. The very best I have ever watched. -Dave
Inside the yurt everyone was wearing winter coats. Mors was in short sleeves. Enough said.
For anyone reading this after 3 years. The white "coat" seen is very thin and was meant for camouflage in snow conditions. I think I used the very same model (trousers + "coat" together). It gave you an extra layer to handle when needing to pee, it didn't really made me warmer even if it may have provided some extra wind protection.
Also, if you are very close to the fireplace and moving around, I guess you get a lot warmer than sitting still at the sides.
The squad tent we used in artic conditions worked very well and could be perfectly cozy for a tired soldier, but as I remembers it, the temperature was noticable different depending on where you had your "pie slot". The best sleeping position was that most far from the tent opening (as we kept regular, armed, watch outside, the tent opening had to be opened on a regular basis). The warmest position was for the guy tending the fire, being radio and possibly silent alarm receiver from the outer guard. The guy tending the fire really had to understand the difference in perceived warmth.
I talk about outside temperatures of let say -20 C to -30 C, wind not counted, so it certainly felt a bit colder closer to the walls even when the air was heated nicely in the tent.
Lastly, a wild guess is (I may be wrong) that the serving military personell here do not change clothes if a ranking officer does not change clothes and/or specifically tell them to. Mr Mochanski probably was not serving under these officers and had more freedom on clothing etc.
Having people sweat inside the tent is obviously a very bad idea, but then again, I didn't really seen any military winter coats and people where sitting still for some time so I doubt they were sweating.
Lars Fält was probably serving at the time as he initiated - and was the first school master in- the national military survival school (SERE A, B, C levels) about 5-6 years before this was filmed. No dummies and certainly tougher than most.
PS. I am aware of that there seems to be a number of people not in military uniform. My comments with regards to clothing doesn't apply on them.
I would agree that the difference is striking in their clothing and body language compared to that of Mr Mochanski. Hopefully they learned something not only from the instructor but also from the experience in general. I would have loved to be there myself. DS.
@@ghanaboyz you’ve been there actually? Can you tell more stories of these days from survival education if possible
@@max_fjellstorm I actually was there on that event? "When I wrote I would have loved to be there myself." I meant to be clear I was not there.
These guys contributed in laying the foundation as far as I am concerned. Also, anyone doing service in the far North of Sweden would probably recognize parts of what I wrote anyways. A summery some uses: "Inte vinter; Myggor, knott, slit, inga tjejer. Vinter, kallt, slit, inga mygg inga knott men fortfarande inga tjejer." Ungefär så? One of many lessons was that it was a different story being left alone when you were used to the feeling of relative safetyt, comfort and company of your team.
He got me started in Bushcraft way back in the 80’s . They don’t make ‘em like Morris anymore.
We've currently got snow up to my waist here in MA, so I took the opportunity to make a pair of these using red mulberry. It's the first time in years snowshoes have been necessary to get around. I'd pretty much be snowed out of the woods without them.
Great video! Wish i could have been there!
Great Video
Simply perfect!
Lars Falt filmed this Ray Mears gave a talk here too
I love Mors! :D
Unconscious competent.
awesome, I would love to take a class some day
RIP Mors. He passed away today.
Isn't Lars also a renowned bushcrafter?
Anyone know what clothing he is wearing at 22:40? I've heard of a brand of superclothing that looks like that.
Is there a book that shows how to make the ski shoes
The Sticks as Tools DVD has how to build them on it.
