Pots - Mors talks about his favorite pots for cooking, eating, as a survival kit and also about where to find them along with the Bush Cooker. #MorsKochanski #KaramatWildernessWays
He's not affected by brands, trends or sentimentality, the kit has a level of usefulness or it doesn't, very level headed and a breath of fresh air in these times. Brilliant!!!
You are right. He very much break it down the the essensial factors the shape the usefullness of an item. Thus managing to privide a better understanding for uss with out discussing brands. So sad he passed awsy recenly. I wonder if his Urn ended up veing that pod he mentioned. May he have a well earned rest!
I have the second pot he showed. I picked it up at a yard sale over 20 years ago. No brand stamp, probably Mirro. It has been in my canoe box ever since. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Amazed that nobody has ever stepped on it.
the sentence about his ash shows what a simple and satisfied old man he is.. may he still teach for a long time. Another very usefull video, just like all the other stuff from mister kochanski thank you one more time
Unfortunately, the Mors Bushpot is no longer being produced. From Don Kevilus (Four Dog Stove): "I'm sorry to say Mors Pots are no longer being made and no longer available. The company in Two Rivers, WI that made them has been sold and no longer can make them." If you have one, be sure to hang on to it!!
Mors, Thanks for all your videos. I enjoy them much. Having seen this video about a month ago, I was able to recognize a French mess kit when I saw it in a flea market. It's a great addition to my pack. The serving dish is missing so I may fabricate one to complete the kit.
5:45 An American saying due to the US pint being 16 fluid ounces and weighing a hair over a pound. The Imperial (UK) pint is 20 ounces and weighs around 1.25 pounds; hencethe saying, "a pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter."

Thanks Mors! I think all pots should have bail handles! :o) If it cannot be suspended over a fire, and haul water from a hole in the ice with a nice handle, there is something wrong! I do not understand the no-handle pot gripper thing! :o) Thanks to Don K for getting these manufactured. I own one of the "Mors" pots and love it!
In the best possible sense and with all due respect Mors in this video reminds of a Jim Henson creation. Probably something with his fumbling and clanging with all the pots and the slightly too high table xD
I didn't know that a black pot takes less fuel to use. i thought the opposite as the carbon would act like an insulator. More reason to stop scrubbing them after an outing or does this only apply for anodization and not campfire carbon?
Hello Mors. Thank you for all of your videos. I've learned so much and I've only recently become aware of you. I've heard Dave Canterbury mention you several times, but I just assumed you were from the Davy Crocket era. Glad to finally found you on youtube. I'm very curious to know how you came to the conclusion that the colour black will reduce cooking time by 50%? Also, the same question for your statement on OXO and Lipton's soup mix. I hope to hear from ya. Keep up the good work.
Mors answer: Black Pot-This reference was taken from a plumbers text book written in England possibly in the 1920's. OXO in cold climates-you use your own reserves while metabolizing salty spicy.
I love the idea of putting my ashes into a camp coffee pot!!! Great idea. I am trying to avoid aluminum because of it's ties to dementia and Alzheimer's. it may not be an issue and may be speculation. I like your pots tho
Thank you for shareing your knowlage and wisdom. I live in the south eastern United States. I do not see the dramatic improvement in cooking time when comparing a blackened pot to a shiney pot. Are you familiar with any more scientific quantifiable testing of this premis? I am left wondering if it is more evident in the colder winter climate of the north because I do not see evidenced in testing in this area. I would like some actual cook times to compare and to know under what conditions that occurs.
It takes half the fuel to boil water in a black pot? I like Mors and appreciate his contributions to bushcraft and survival, but that statement sounds like horseshit.
He's not affected by brands, trends or sentimentality, the kit has a level of usefulness or it doesn't, very level headed and a breath of fresh air in these times. Brilliant!!!
ya I agree

May he have a well earned rest!
I could listen to Mors talk all day! What an incredible wealth of outdoor skills.
Words of wilderness wisdom from a lifetime of experience, Mors will be missed.
You are still truly missed Mors.

proud to live in a time where I get to experience your wisdom, like this.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience, much appreciated!

Thank you so much for turning up the volume. World of difference.
Mors,

I wish Mors was my grandfather.
very good video - packed with tried and tested ideas
cheers
Thank you very much for sharing your skills,great teacher.ATB Falko
HA! He loved his bush pot so much he joked about keeping his ashes in there. I feel the same about my canteen.

Bring back the mors pot

I don't know what I like more - pots or knives.
Would love to see a vid on the double stuffed down jacket and the survival scarf.

We have stores in England who would probably ship to you. They are listed on the resource page of our website.
He did a DVD called "Bushcraft Shelters" that has the Super Shelter on it.
i so want to make it out to karamat before he no longer works with them. mors is legendary
I'd love to buy the DVD but you don't seem to ship to Sweden :(
Please sir, make a video on the super shelter :)

"A black pot boils quicker", well I'll be dammed..Ill be buying some black engine paint tomorrow.
it is amazing all they pots are aluminium, but many bushcrafter wouldn't touch a aluminium I'm stove saying the will melt to easily.
Then get the 16cm bail /loop handle Zebra Thailand stainless steel pot or a Titanium pot. I did..
Where do you get your Tam O'Shanters? I am been trying to find a good one for several years.
Copy cat
what's the name of ur coat u have on
I hate aluminum cookware. But at least I know that a bigger pot than what I have is a better choice.
You on a point of more talking, I'm on a point of more to listen, so it fit:-) thanks again for sharing your experience, take care Taro
How much would a pot set cost
Contact Four Dog Stove Company to find out.
I love the idea of putting my ashes into a camp coffee pot!!! Great idea. I am trying to avoid aluminum because of it's ties to dementia and Alzheimer's. it may not be an issue and may be speculation. I like your pots tho
That link was disproved back in the 70's.
Is aluminum good to ingest ?
TPHVICTIMS some studies show it causes alzheimers. Mors is old and has a sharp mind so maybe it dosent matter that much

Boyd Hudson : Is that to say that several decades of gained knowledge and experience doesn't satisfy you. Incredible.

Well, it's not. You can purchase pots that have been blackened on the outside for that very purpose.
