I love my Stainless Steel Kelly Kettle base camp kit. The most efficient kit for processing water, and self contained cooking. While I paid a lot more for it, you get what you pay for.
Mors Bush Pot
Just Saving on my Cell Phone.
Will DEFINATELY Buy 1 ✅
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!!
I have the same pot, and I feel pretty much the same about it as you do. These pots have a pretty storied history: They were the survival pots issued by the Royal Canadian Air Force, and Mors kept his when he left the service. It's a source of unending frustration to me that this is yet another case of Canadians coming up with something cool, and Americans realising the market potential of the thing.
I love mine even more now that it's dinged and discoloured from use. As is the case with all my bush gear.
And just where did the Canadians get the idea? From the British via the Germans. Where did the Germans get the idea? Does it really matter? This particular pot just happened to be perfect for what Mors wanted and there are none available today that are the same. Some are called Mors pots yet they are only close in size and design. How all this could frustrate a Canadian I cannot imagine. What is your take on snowshoes? Trappers via France and Norway?
That is an excellent design. Hard to go wrong with something designed by Mors.
I love my mors bush pots I have the 1.8 and the 1.1
In The Two Kilo gram survival kit field manual by Mors Kohanski
At loction 43 0f 234 of the E book edition he says .
1. “Container: The container which doubles as a cooking pot is a three liter cooking-oil can, but as cooking oils are now mostly packaged in plastic containers, except olive oil one may have to use a 4 liter lantern or camp stove fuel container that has been thoroughly washed with a strong detergent. The top of the can is removed with a can opener. The handle is made of snare wire that has been doubled over until it about 8 strands thick. Punch holes, but do not put the handle on until it is needed.”…
4 liters = 17 cups & 3 liters = 12 cups
That was a pleasant surprise - informative, easy to listen to, knowledgeable and enthusiastic and finally no pointless intro! As it happens I have one big two small of same. I was looking through my cook kit photos - I also have a lot of Ti and behold which pot is the most used and photographed by me - the 1.2L Mors pot.
The true Mors bush pot was 7 cups. That is a bit bigger than what you have yet if you are happy...that is all that matters. These type of pots were in every military surplus store in the 60's and 70's for just a few dollars. I wish I had picked up a few more as mine is long gone. I went titanium just in case aluminum really IS bad for health reasons.
Absolutely love mine
Plyers can help adjust the bail stops to give you stops with your bail.
After the theoretical comparison swedish army mess kit It is the best because it combines a cooking range with a two-fuel stove with a suitable size but lacks a water canteen
Hi Dan. Thanks for that!
Great piece of gear. Like you I have had mine for years. Mine is well loved.
It’s a decent design but long ago I upgraded to the pathfinder store version which is nontoxic stainless steel
Thanks for sharing !
Absolutely love mine its first season used it spent the entire Alaskan summer into fall in the fire pit
Stainless for me every time I’ve never had nor know anyone that has been poisoned by using Aluminium but there’s always that chance,great review of a great pot though 👍
Nice review Dan! Heard nothing but good things about this... but I'm trying to get away from aluminum. I lean towards stainless steel and cast iron.
I like the idea of the Mors Bush Pot, but am concerned about the aluminum because of health concerns. Actually for the relatively short solo trips I take the smaller version works well. I did find a Toaks titanium pot that 1.1L with both bale and handles that is “reasonably” priced that removes my health concerns. I know people are divided on aluminum and some agree hard anodizing solves these health issues; in fact, growing up in the 50s and 60s most of my meals as a youth were probably prepared in aluminum cookware. My choice is I would rather have another material.
It seems to have been discontinued unfortunately. Could you recommend another one currently available?
Enjoyed the video thinking about getting this pot thanks for the review be blessed
Intriguing pot!!
Great piece of kit. I love mine. I fit my whole cook kit in it.
Looks great for a solo trip, I'm a fan of stainless pots but they are a bit heavier.
Swamp Valley
Aluminum melts, though.
Scowler if used in the wrong context with too thin material, yes.
Scowler dunno what you cook like but I've never melted an aluminium pot. It's more for health reasons I use stainless steel, and they're easier to clean.
I recall a camping trip when I was younger. Cooking bacon on an aluminum griddle over fire. It burst into flames and melted it in half. Lol
Bushcrafting in Tn I've melted aluminium cans many times but I guess I've never left an empty or dry pot on the fire long enough to melt it. If you keep putting beer cans in a steel beans can they smelt down and you can pour it into sand moulds great fun 😂
LOVE my mors pots. I have the large (1.8L) & the smaller (1.1L) pots. I find the larger pot is good for 2 people, and use the smaller on solo outings. The smaller one fits inside the larger one IF you DON’T have bail handle installed on it. I did and now wish I hadn’t installed the bail handle. SO DECIDE WISELY GRASSHOPPER! Dans right, GREAT piece of gear, I especially like it’s anodized for nonstick cooking. S.S. Pots are good but sometimes not so nonstick & a bit heavier. Love the vids and channel subject, thanks. AL
Did you say 64 ounces?!?! LOL!!! That thing weighs more than my tent!!!
it looks like the handle stop is a friction fit. you could probably fix it by bending the metal where the handle attaches.
I'm looking for a pot that has a stand-up bail, maybe a flat bail. I liked the old Pathfinder style handle because it stood out from the body of the pot and stayed a little bit less hot. The handle was long enough to help stabilize the package as well, if you had something flat to work with.
Thanks.
I like Good Pot.
THE pot! American Made
Thanks for the video, where can you purchase one?
I love mine. I was stupid enough to put mine into the dishwasher so there is almost no anodizing on the inside and after foraging blueberries You can literally see burned in blueberries. Another thing is I put lemon juice in my tea so I had concerns about aluminium toxicity. I ended up buying this style and size pot from pathfinder which is not as good. The handles are weird and its heavier, but I have to get used to it.
Its worth more than $38. The hard anodizing makes it really durable. I like stainless cookware as well, but in my experience if a stainless steel pot is thin enough to be anywhere near as light as the same size pot in aluminum, the stainless pot is susceptible to cracking when dropped.
input on good alternative since no longer made??? SRO??
What is the company name that makes to Mors Bush Pot. I bought the same one one years ago, now I need to find another. I think the same manufacturer makes other items as well. Thanks!
You should try to put links to buy the actual item being reviewed when you do these 3 min videos
Or you could just Google "Mors Bush Pot".
Was your Mors pot lid originally a tighter fit than what it seems to have in the video? I thought that the lids were supposed to have a pretty snug fit, but mine does not (looks about like it fits like yours). It's in no way a problem, I'm just wondering. Awesome piece of gear....I'm pretty much using mine exclusively now.
Not a lot of folk like the aluminium eh!
Hey Coalcracker, I'm sure you know the mors pot is discontinued. Do you recommended a replacement? Or if there is a random website somewhere that I/my fellow wilderness friends could pick one up? Thanks' for these amazing and informative videos.
-Davey C.
Pathfinder bush pot is as close as it gets.
Where do you get one?
How easy is this to clean? I used aluminum cook sets back in the day but found that any burned on food required too much work to get out. Maybe it's just my recipes, as I tend to cook chili, jambalaya,, and thick stews, rather than soups or pasta.
Great pot from the master himself. I don't see them on Mors' sight. Do you know who sells them?
Well...not really. Watch the videos from Mors and you will see some differences. But his exact pot has boon unavailable for decades as far as I know. The one in this video is close tho...
How would you compare it to the pathfinder Stainless Steel Bush Pot & Lid Set - 64oz?
WELSBY ROOTS would you happen to have a link to the pot of your preference?
William Mills just look up Dave Canterbury pathfinder store
Is there an aluminum pot sold today like this pot?
Where can u get one ☝ thanks😁
better go for a steel Zebra pot, no risk of aluminum poisoning
Where can i find one????
The only thing I got to say is good job like the video and keep up the good work and ill keep watching as long as you don't turn into a noodle like Dave and Blackie
where did you find intro template
Looks cool. Do they make it in stainless steel???
I like the design of the Mors Pot, but have concerns about cooking using aluminum. Clearly concerns you do not share. 😀 Please help educate me further, why does cooking in aluminum pots not concern you? Is it the fact the Mors Pot is anodized? Would you have concerns if it uncoated aluminum?
I very much like your “3 minute” segments
Hi. I understand the concerns about aluminum. My mom cooked everything in aluminum. That is, bare aluminum. My mom lived to 91 and passed due to old age. Not a bit of memory loss. My dad passed at 96. He too had no issues with dimentia or anything related to brain function. I really think the link is pretty loose. Likely more to do with genetics than anything.
Coaster Brookie Thank you for the input.
Have you fallen on it? Will it stand up to that? 😬
Nice Dan, great review...now to the part where I just have to tease you... You forgot your branding bro! No name, no coalcracker...dafuq? Lol
Aluminum?! That explains the green tint in your beard.
ANXIETOR Green would be more indicative of copper oxides or chromium sulfates than aluminum. Chemically speaking.
Loosen that bow tie, Ray.
Lol
Did I miss the question and answer lol
Yeah, but I think Dan missed doing the Q&A last week.
Becca - Last Q&A was posted on the 13th...none on the 20th. Not like Dan doesn't have other things to be doing. Lol
Weird looking TOAKS pot.
Do you have a link for rhe pot?
Guess whos growing if my eyes are correct, that looks like one of the actual Mors pots from Four Dog Stove.
Sean Lewis thanks
$38 for a coffee can with a handle?!
People pay $8 for a coffee from Starbucks...some several times per day. This isn't the 80's any longer. If you don't feel this is for you...we need not know.
Lars at SR also endorses aluminum cook pots so, you're not alone but, it's bad advice, Dan. Not wise to cook with containers made of neurotoxic materials. Stainless steel is safe and worth the weight. Titanium is pricey but safe and light. Stay away from aluminum.
Alumninum is a neurotoxic heavy metal, stick to stainless steel.
Marcin Chyczy
Wasn't there only one study into that?
Aluminum isn't a heavy metal. Unless you're cooking with high concentration acids, it's not leaching out in notable quantities either. Aluminum cookware is perfectly safe.
I heard aluminum makes your hair fall out, and turns your beard grey...if you use it long enough.😉
if it's so toxic then why are they selling home cooking pots and pans in mass quantity made from aluminum, mostly hard anodized aluminum..... and like sean said it's not a heavy metal...
Willy Bee haha
Two minutes fourtyfive seconds we were cheated out of fifteen seconds.
Anodized or not ALUMINUM IS TOXIC. You can love it but not me. My "bush pot" is stainless. It only weighs a few ounces more than the Mors pot and has the advantage of not being made from a toxic metal.
David Bennett
How many studies have been made?
Scowler people die regularly of aluminium fume inhalation. Mostly when welding the stuff without adequate breath protection though.
It's basically inert unless heated near the melting point or coated with teflon which over heats sooner and becomes permanently toxic if over heated or scratched.
Excuse me Dan, sorry to interrupt everyone telling you that you're wrong... And I'm pretty sure I'm not alone on this, but where the hell was our question and answer Wednesday vid?? Freaking slackers!! Ok carry on reading all the neigh sayers telling you how to live your life
It’s a decent design but long ago I upgraded to the pathfinder store version which is nontoxic stainless steel
