I gotta say, Andrew, you seem to be the type of guy who has really gone both routes with an upbringing for survival skills; military training as well as civilian based research like RUclips and books like 98.6 and Bushcraft by Morse (like most of the rest of us). I really dig the way you present in a no none sense, no bs, no gimmick format. And you’re not trying to sell products, just trying to present us all with a common location to find survival information and techniques that have been formed from multiple resources. A one stop shop so to speak. Again, I dig it. Thank you brother!
I never met Mors but I watched his vids several times and read his book. I thought the point of the 2kilo survival kit was not that it could contain all you wanted but possibly all you needed if you knew a lot. People voluntarily entering a wilderness should take a lot more than fits in the pot, e.g. food and water, extra clothing, etc. Mors was at his best when pointing out all the crap you could buy that was either unnecessary or wouldn’t work. Anyway, your vid was a good refresher on what Mors had to say.
Thanks for keeping Mors Kochanski's survival skills out there, so newcomers to bushcraft are able to benifit from them. I personally appreciated the simplicity of his methods.
Good stuff! I changed my backpack to a feather weight one. So instead of carrying 12kg, 26lb I’ve managed to drop the weight to 10.5kg, 23lb. With this new info, time to revise.
Good video! You probably know this, but for people out there, that buck saw blade with those saw theeths is meant to be used in green/wet wood. A buck saw blade for dry wood has different theeths. This is me being picky, both would work, but for specific uses, specific tools. That being said, good to see Mors heritage being carried on! Great kit man!
The sturdy bush pot is possibly the most important piece of survival kit. "Naked and Afraid" participants have made the extreme mistake of showing up without one, and suffered acutely because of it. The Mors pot is pretty good, with pour spout, bale, handle, and lid. A flat lid you can cook on can be better. I also prefer stainless steel. The sturdiness and more even heating are usually worth carrying the greater weight. Thx again for this site, Andrew.. I am putting you in for LTC!.
I enjoy your format. Is like a hybrid of Cpl. Corner intro, mixed with Gray bearded green beret's presentation style and Dave Canterbury outro. Neat idea really.
I’d carry 4 or 5 tea lights rather than a big candle. Reason being is that you light the big candle, fall asleep for a few hours and then it’s gone, Tealight will burn out after 2 to 3 hours but then you have replacements. Kids birthday candles are great to light fires with. Carry half a dozen for very little weight. Also for the average guy or girl I’d take a Swiss Army knife with saw rather than a fixed blade knife. Average person ain’t going to be making feather sticks in a survival situation. Just pick up sticks, bark, dry grass.
I think a Swiss Army knife is a great addition to a kit, but not as a replacement to a fixed blade. The average joe may not use feather sticks, true. But the fact is, a fixed blade knife is safer, sturdier, and more intuitive to use. A beginner at even the most basic knife skills will quickly figure out a fixed blade. I’ve seen people close their finger in my Swiss Army knife when I’ve handed it to first timers. The result is a dropped knife and a bloody mess. Add that to a forest setting under the stress of “survival”, and now you have a small injury that can become infected, probably a lost knife, and a person that will be reluctant to try to continue using it. Just my opinion for what it’s worth.
Ever thought about those trick candles that cant be blown out, be kinda nice on a wet or windy day. Also a small road side flare can burn even under water i understand might be handy in a absalutely gotta have do or die need a fire now situation. I admit my knowledge of how well they work in extreme cold situation is poor.. If anyone knows ,speak up pls.
JMHO- I don't make feather sticks or baton as a practice either one. There's oodles of ready to pick up fallen tree branches and such everywhere I've ever been. Never needed to carve any special cups or eating utensils either. I carry the same ones I've had for decades and re use them each time Of course, if I were in a plane crash or something way out in the sticks, I likely as not wouldn't have much gear on me. But I can definitely say that spoon carving and building a log cabin would be way last on my To Do list
I've purchased three LT Wright knives at this point, best bushcraft investment I've ever made... well second best next to the training, knowledge and the skillset I posses.
RIP MR.KOCHANSKI.......Brilliant man..I’ve made several of these kit over the yrs. Stash them around for grab at a minutes notice. Get out there an try it practice practice practice
Great video! I view this as a starting point where each individual will tailor for their own environment. The one suggestion I would make is to include a light weight stuff sack to hold all the contents when you are using the pot. Doesn't weight much or take up a lot of space.
Recent subscriber to the channel. Going through some of your previous videos, outstanding information and instruction! One of the better outdoors/survival channels on RUclips!
Great video - I had never heard of Mors Kochanski before I came across your channel - it's never too late to learn new methodology in survival training.
There is videos of him as an old timer but the content he covers is solid and straight forward. Glad his school made them so he can live on in a way. Legacy.
That was great! I’ve been watching survival kit videos for two days. And then, I watched this one. Thank you! And thank you Mors Kochanski!! Ps, I’ve been looking for the name of exactly that pot for weeks! And yes, it’s on Amazon and in my cart!!
The various Survival kits that you put together is absolutely amazing, But Sooooooo important due to the fact of the differing climates and terrains we have in the United States alone. I Live in Virginia go South for 2 hours and your in the Great Dismal Swamp, Go North 2 Hours and you are in one the Largest Seat of Power in the world Washington DC, Go 2 hours East and your in the Atlantic Ocean and go 2 hours West and your between the Blue Ridge and the Allegheny Mountains. Surrounded by North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia and Maryland ( Which I will Avoid at all cost ) All the States present the same Challenges and Benefits which is a big plus for Me as 1 kit will suffice for them all no matter what time of year it is. But I do enjoy your videos and training tips soooooo much. Thank You and God Bless You and Your Family.
Surprisingly effective collection. Mr. Kochanski really *_Concentrated Essentials._* I think a lot of newbies like myself want triple redundancy, that will end up sinking them with exhaustion. If you need a three volume encyclopedia of all the items in your kit, and a pack mule to carry it, you're probably defeating yourself.
Love seeing a Mors kit. A few small things to consider: A piece of two of fatwood is one of the most stable and reliable tinders I have found. Adding a couple of stainless bolts and wingnuts will GREATLY reduce the effort to build a functional bucksaw frame in the field. Having tried the "wooden peg" method, now I keep bolts & wingnuts in my kit with the saw blade. Mors includes bolts in the "repair" kit portion of his 2kg kit. I also keep a "dedicated" loop of cord for making a buck saw -- I am so certain I will need to make one. Adding some basic OTC meds to the first aid portion would be advisable. Things like triple antibiotic greatly improves the results of the H-bandaids for "minor" hand cuts. Other meds that I include are an anti histamine (or an epipen, if needed), anti diarrheal, NSIADs, and any Rx that you may need. I tend to keep these on my person, and not in the pot -- but still, this is part of my "survival kit." I keep a maximum dose for 4 days per person in my "survival kit" -- I keep the "expected" dose for the "expected" trip length in the general kit. I also add a small tyvek stuff sack -- to hold all the contents (except the saw blade -- that you just have to keep track of on your own) while the pot is in use. This can also be a browse bag, as needed.
@@BingWatcher I sew them myself from tyvek envelopes. You only need to add the top hem, and the bottom structure. 9x12 is a good size for a hammock stuff bag, or a daily meal sack. ruclips.net/video/uWnHnQZaYTQ/видео.html
I take an old key card from a hotel and put some gorilla tape on that, electrical tape and some tape called Luekotape(which is great for blisters) and doesn't come off with it gets wet. It's used for artificial limb attachments.
Wet Fire doesn’t work so well in windy snowy situations. That is why multiple tinder sources and multiple fire starters are so important. I also bet that is one awesome knife. I am a bit jealous of it. Thanks.
Thank you for your knowledge sharing. I've been looking for the right pot lately and I just saved this so I have reference I can go back to. Preparing this year since I haven't done anything since I was a kid and I just turned 56 so I want to make sure I have what I need and know how to use them all for next spring. I look forward to watching more of your content. God bless
Only one knife? Most of these kits have a half dozen knives/ swords and a useless multi tool. This is a practical and useful setup. Thanks for this video.
Rolling up the saw blade, now that's awesome! I was always wondering how I could get a larger cutting tool into a kit of this size. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge, and making these vids.
I liked your Cody Lundin kit video and this is a different approach, showing other options. My brother went through SERE school, a good time was NOT had by all but he made it through. That was 35 years ago, and since then he has never left the house without a Swiss Army Hunter, a hank of paracord, a lighter, and a magnesium block/ferro rod in his pockets. With those things and the seasonal clothes on his back, I think he could survive anywhere but maybe the high desert. We don't get together often, but when we do, we get a kick out of driving around suburbia and pointing out "found object" survival gear, free for the gathering. That might be a fun video, not so much a complete survival bag, but plastic bottles, plastic bags, short bits of pvc piping, plastic chairs out for trash pickup, sticks and whatnot for tinder, etc. -- just a thought.
Great kit! Very similar to the one my father helped me put together in Boy Scouts. He was 173rd AB! The one item he had us place was a large bandana. 🇺🇸 😎👍
Awesome vid! I got to meet Mors and some of the Karamat crew a few times in the last couple years, great people. Just subscribed after watching this video
That 55 gallon bag can save your life in the cold. You put it on like poncho and crouch with a tea candle or two underneath and you can stay a little bit warm with the heat that gets trapped inside the bag.
you do some really good videos. Really like your work. This one especially is outstanding among a bunch of outstanding videos. thanks! Goes without saying that I subscribed a while ago. best.
I've been looking a bigger pot but haven't found one yet. But I find metal handles tin. So I've been using it so far. And have a 24oz.cook pot that fits together with my wood gasifirer stove. It's a grease strainer but the strainer works for coffee and tea. And steaming veggies. Bought it at the dollar General store for $7.70
Hi ☺, nice video and kit, there was only one Mors, he is sorely missed, may I suggest you change out the raker toothed bow saw blade which is mainly aimed at green wood cutting, and replace it whith a Peg toothed one , this is a dry wood blade better for cutting firewood, and it will cut green as well, just my two cents, keep up the good work mate, thank you for your service, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.
Great video. I need to pick up one of those sewing kits. It looks like your bow saw blade is for wet wood, I would probably change it for a dry wood blade (all triangle teeth) for fire wood. I actually carry Silky gomboy 240 with me any time I'm in the field though. It's so convenient to flip it open and you have a 8 inch razor sharp saw for the cost of a half a pound extra weight (and 36 bucks)
I have always used a small brass bell to replace the whistle. I can hike all day uphill but I have never been able to use a whistle in a real emergency do to lack of breathing. Asmatha.bell is also great for deaf people whom can't blow. ( very common) if you cNt blow out a candle you can't use a whistle. Use a metal bell. The sound carries a very long way with less effort.
About the only problem I find with this kit is: Your lost in the woods and find a fresh water supply, then you empty the pot to use as a water container and all the survival equipment is all over the forest floor... A one gallon plastic freezer bag weights 12 grams and could be used to store all the survival equipment while the pot is boiling the water...
I like the kit, I would probably expand on the first aid a bit but I understand you are building a kit to list. I would also add a roll of #36 bank line in, a bic lighter, Fresnel lens and more sure-fire tinder.
Great video clip, mate. The pot is what we call a "Billy Can" or "Billy" in Australia. At 2Kg this is less likely to be left behind I would add a few sachets of tea / coffee / sugar / salt with a few rolls of rock candy for the sugar. I got a pocket backpack from a tradeshow & I would add this plus a silicone cup.
BTW, I thought I was subscribed but I wasn't! Now I am though. You've been on a roll lately, keep up the great content. Honestly you should have a 100k subscribers!
I love your videos, they're full of information yet succinct. I don't have to play them at double speed! Any thoughts about manufacturing and selling these kits?
I'd love to buy more of this stuff through your links if you ever create an amazon page of your recommendations. Sometimes I can not understand exactly what you are saying, but I"d love to search for the specific item. Great video, thanks!
M Vincent In Florida Phase of Ranger School I had the worst instructor, known as a tough grader, he gave me a piece of advice I’ve held on to for years: “Always have a knife, a way to start fire, and a snack in your pocket.” I was one of a handful of rangers ever to get a go from that instructor!
Growing up my dad, who had been a working cowboy in his youth always pushed having basics on you at all times. Over the years I developed my own listing. Never Leave the house without: A good knife A good gun A good flashlight A means of starting fire A source of cordage and at least 1 bandana. & TWO of each is even better.
@@kellymoulton3792 No wonder you yanks lose more people to school shootings than soldiers at war. I'm sure your gun fascination is compensating for something inadequate. 😂 🤣 You know how many deaths we have had in school shootings in Oz - ZERO EVER
@Nathan JD bulk and weight, the blade with two nails is whole "saw" in his original kit. With those two nails a knife and the blade you are suposed to MAKE the rest of the bucksaw, not that hard and with practice, takes about 15 minutes.
I gotta say, Andrew, you seem to be the type of guy who has really gone both routes with an upbringing for survival skills; military training as well as civilian based research like RUclips and books like 98.6 and Bushcraft by Morse (like most of the rest of us).

Great informative video! Thanks for sharing!
Love seeing a Mors kit.
A few small things to consider:
A piece of two of fatwood is one of the most stable and reliable tinders I have found.
Adding a couple of stainless bolts and wingnuts will GREATLY reduce the effort to build a functional bucksaw frame in the field. Having tried the "wooden peg" method, now I keep bolts & wingnuts in my kit with the saw blade. Mors includes bolts in the "repair" kit portion of his 2kg kit. I also keep a "dedicated" loop of cord for making a buck saw -- I am so certain I will need to make one.
Adding some basic OTC meds to the first aid portion would be advisable. Things like triple antibiotic greatly improves the results of the H-bandaids for "minor" hand cuts. Other meds that I include are an anti histamine (or an epipen, if needed), anti diarrheal, NSIADs, and any Rx that you may need. I tend to keep these on my person, and not in the pot -- but still, this is part of my "survival kit." I keep a maximum dose for 4 days per person in my "survival kit" -- I keep the "expected" dose for the "expected" trip length in the general kit.
I also add a small tyvek stuff sack -- to hold all the contents (except the saw blade -- that you just have to keep track of on your own) while the pot is in use. This can also be a browse bag, as needed.
Great advice. Where did you get a Tyvek stuff sack, it sounds awesome?
@@BingWatcher I sew them myself from tyvek envelopes. You only need to add the top hem, and the bottom structure. 9x12 is a good size for a hammock stuff bag, or a daily meal sack.

Thank you for the feedback! Now, if I can just learn to sow, I could save so much money 💰and get customized gear.
I recall Mors using the bolts and wingnuts as well. Also sometimes wire or both.
Thanks for this video. An excellent kit.
I take an old key card from a hotel and put some gorilla tape on that, electrical tape and some tape called Luekotape(which is great for blisters) and doesn't come off with it gets wet. It's used for artificial limb attachments.

Asmatha.bell is also great for deaf people whom can't blow. ( very common) if you cNt blow out a candle you can't use a whistle. Use a metal bell. The sound carries a very long way with less effort.
Good idea!
It's also look's like a pot of fun 🥳
About the only problem I find with this kit is: Your lost in the woods and find a fresh water supply, then you empty the pot to use as a water container and all the survival equipment is all over the forest floor... A one gallon plastic freezer bag weights 12 grams and could be used to store all the survival equipment while the pot is boiling the water...
Use the trash bag
Mate.... what a great show....❤

I like the kit, I would probably expand on the first aid a bit but I understand you are building a kit to list.
I would also add a roll of #36 bank line in, a bic lighter, Fresnel lens and more sure-fire tinder.
Great video clip, mate. The pot is what we call a "Billy Can" or "Billy" in Australia. At 2Kg this is less likely to be left behind I would add a few sachets of tea / coffee / sugar / salt with a few rolls of rock candy for the sugar. I got a pocket backpack from a tradeshow & I would add this plus a silicone cup.
BTW, I thought I was subscribed but I wasn't! Now I am though. You've been on a roll lately, keep up the great content. Honestly you should have a 100k subscribers!
I appreciate it! I’ll work hard to keep that sub!
Mors field manual for the 2 kg kit is still available for sale I think. I got it, it is very small and compact but filled with essential instructions.
Your legit corporals corner haha.
Awesome video mate 🇦🇺🇦🇺
great load out
Great video thanks 😊
I love your videos, they're full of information yet succinct. I don't have to play them at double speed!
Any thoughts about manufacturing and selling these kits?
I'd love to buy more of this stuff through your links if you ever create an amazon page of your recommendations. Sometimes I can not understand exactly what you are saying, but I"d love to search for the specific item. Great video, thanks!
Excellent. My only addition is dental floss. Many uses.
AWESOME! Keep the vids up . Great info for the one's that are still new @ this . S/F .
Love it, great job.
Cool video
Thanks very informative!!
Im confused by anyone that gets out of bed without a knife and lighter at bare minimum lol
M Vincent In Florida Phase of Ranger School I had the worst instructor, known as a tough grader, he gave me a piece of advice I’ve held on to for years: “Always have a knife, a way to start fire, and a snack in your pocket.” I was one of a handful of rangers ever to get a go from that instructor!
@@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft Ive lived by that everyday since I was about 5 y/o
M Vincent -- my third bare minimum item is a tube of lip balm. Can use as "tinder" as well as lubrication for body and gear.
Growing up my dad, who had been a working cowboy in his youth always pushed having basics on you at all times.
Over the years I developed my own listing.
Never Leave the house without:
A good knife
A good gun
A good flashlight
A means of starting fire
A source of cordage
and at least 1 bandana.
& TWO of each is even better.
@@kellymoulton3792 No wonder you yanks lose more people to school shootings than soldiers at war. I'm sure your gun fascination is compensating for something inadequate. 😂 🤣
You know how many deaths we have had in school shootings in Oz - ZERO EVER
Impressive how you got such a long saw blade to fit in that small solo stove pot lol
@Nathan JD bulk and weight, the blade with two nails is whole "saw" in his original kit.
With those two nails a knife and the blade you are suposed to MAKE the rest of the bucksaw, not that hard and with practice, takes about 15 minutes.
@Nathan JD i can understand that, for me a 912mm bucksaw is preferable as i have to cut 300mm (12") wood, at times even more.
