Watching and listening to Mors really helps solidify the knowledge learned from reading his book. I understand the reason for using the tip of the knife for feathersticks now. Thank you for sharing.
I was lucky to attend a talk about knots Mors gave at Canoecopia. He impressed me so much with his matter of fact style, his obvious knowledge and experience that I have been watching his videos for more tips. All of the current crop of "survival Gurus" owe a debt of gratitude to this man. Mors is an "unconscience competent"..
Nice one. I still have my 1988 soft cover version of Northern Bushcraft at the front of the line for my outdoors books, great to have a channel where Mors can get up front and personal with his teachings. Probably the best $12.95 I ever spent on a book.
Wow, I've watched a lot of feather stick videos and this man just brought it to a whole other level. Watching a master at his craft is am awesome thing.
Mors is awesome, I enjoyed his teaching at the 2015 course and picked up a lot of his bushcraft ways. But the last few year I have been trying to perfect feathersticks without much luck. Watched this video awhile ago and missed the details of it... I see I have been using the wrong wood and need something more like punkwood. Tried it after watching this and sure enough, it makes a huge difference. RIP Mors.
Thank you once again for a very good video, I love the classy way you have of explaining what and why your doing things. Some of your instruction is being used by me to train my teenage son here in Australia so your message is sent far and wide. Regards and Respect
It doesn't have a hole in the blade. But if you are referring too the holes in the handle, those are simply hollow rivets which are holding the handle on.
It has a hole near the tip, if you watch the video carefully you'll see it. Obviously the holes near the handle are for the handle. After research the hole near the blade is to stick a nail in and to pivot the knife for a shearing effect.
Say Heah Mr. K, Yeah, Your right, you need a sharp knife. Watching your videos with eagle eye attention, I ordered a Skookum Bush Tool with a continuous curve. Mr. Garcia made mine perfect, A true Artist. But too, Most recently I ordered a new S. O. G. Pillar Fix Blade, It's a fine one TOO. Just a F. Y. I..,,. p
where was the wood he used in the demonstration manufactured? It's not magic, mother nature produces straight grained wood all the time. When the tree falls & lays there long enough, it becomes seasoned. Of course he chose the best for the demonstration. Anyone can find the ideal wood for this in the bush. (not being argumentative, just my opinion)
This gentleman passed away today. RIP Mors. God bless
He had such a modest and natural way of teaching. Guess he's wandering the eternal forest now showing the angels a trick or two.
I would like to think so. And telling stories around the campfire with all the greats that are with him.
Mors always makes everything seem easy!

Godfather of Bushcraft !!
Best featherstick i've ever seen
I think Mr. Kochanski. is at the point now where he can just look at a piece of wood and it falls to the forest floor in a pile of feather sticks

In 2022 this knowledge is as important as ever. It's fantastic to have it preserved.
Thank you once again Mors, It's always a special treat to see another couple pages from your book come alive.. : o)

Thank you Mors. I always enjoy your instruction. Very thorough.

Very good information. I do it myself for a long time but still learned something. THX
finding such wood is part of the skill
Thank you so very much for a great instruction. I hope now to be able to make feather sticks
I learned a trick or two from this one. ;) Thanks!
Great video once again and thank you for teaching us!
Not only useful in survival and bushcraft, but even when grilling food in a recreational setting.

+THE SOLO HIKER skookum bushtool
Professor Mors...
Where can I find a Mors Pot?
They are no longer available.
Why does your knife have a hole in the blade?
It doesn't have a hole in the blade. But if you are referring too the holes in the handle, those are simply hollow rivets which are holding the handle on.
It has a hole near the tip, if you watch the video carefully you'll see it. Obviously the holes near the handle are for the handle. After research the hole near the blade is to stick a nail in and to pivot the knife for a shearing effect.
Okay, I just thought that was dirt or something! Thanks for sharing that info though, I've never seen that on a knife before.
It's a shearing whole to stick a nail in or something

Some vids you can just like before even wathcing
See when I do it its not straight...
where was the wood he used in the demonstration manufactured? It's not magic, mother nature produces straight grained wood all the time.
