5.0 out of 5 stars Best BushCraft book so far
This is a great outdoors book. Almost everything it covered, it did so with depth. You could tell nearly every step of the way that the author had true knowledge of what he was talking about.One of the reviews says this book is unorganized about how information is displayed. I would say that is entirely false. The only thing that is a little out of whack is the pictures, often you will see explanations pages before or after the coinciding picture. I would also like the the British style of weight&measure to be converted to the American way. A third addition may well be in order.The author organized the book as so. Fire, Axe, Knife, Hand made cordage, Shelter, Uses of some common trees, then the Moose&Hare(rabbit). It has some rhyme&reason...... Generally most important thing is learning how to make a fire, next you should know how to safely and effectively use Axe&Knife, learn how to make cordage, then with this knowledge you can make a shelter..... It makes since. The three tree sections are Birches, Conifers, and Willows which are nice, but I backpack mostly through the Tahoe area which is 99% pine and 5 variations at that.The only really disappointing sections were on the Moose and Hare. I just didn't get it. Maybe where he lives they are super common, but not here. Also I didn't feel his advice on tracking and skinning were very useful, just not enough pics, and not enough information in general.I did enjoy this book, most serious in depth book on BushCraft I have read. I definitely recommend this one far above the likes of WildWood Wisdom. I felt like this book was not made for kids, lol. I know of no other book that discusses in more depth Axe&Knife safety and efficiency, Fire section is huge too. The author is also a decent writer, not amazing, but above the average. Five Star book all around.
5.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy, Highly Informative, Fine Illustrations of Techniques; Limited Scope
Mors Kochanski proves through this book that he is a fine bush crafter. Even if you have a substantial library on this topic, you will enjoy this one as well. Cover, binding and paper are of substantial quality: that is 'all good' since the book is meant for rereading and using in preparation for outdoor adventures or for 'taking along' if you are not 'going light.' The covers on my 'new edition' are rounded on the outside edges to aid in slipping in and out of a pack or pocket. The highly informative text is accompanied by many instructive black and white line drawings. This edition also includes a lovely color photo supplement at the back. For sure, there is plenty of explanation of techniques for fire-starting, knot tying, shelter building (in every season), and for using the ax, the saw and a good knife. Unlike the vast majority of books, Mors gives a lot of attention to the 'bush' in bush craft. Northern trees and shrubs are presented and their special uses explained. There is even an explanation of how to smoke-tan a moose hide!What the book is NOT is an explanation of camp cooking equipment or recipes; what tents and clothing and bedding to take along, finding and using water sources, water purification methods or path-finding and navigation. It IS a fine book and has brought great enjoyment to many readers and bush craft practitioners.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book...
I am quite frankly surprised at some of the negative reviews of this book.This is some of the most detailed information on survival in the bush that I have ever read. Kochanski goes into thorough and detailed delineations onalmost every important aspect of life in the bush. Granted the book is focused on the Northern Forests, but in truth these survival skills are applicable to every climate including the Desert. The difference would be to only change the nature of the materials used--but the theory and the skills utilized remain applicable to both environmental extremes.If you are interested in a detailed description on how to actually survive and thrive in the bush, then this is definitely a book that should be both read and implemented via scrupulous practice. And yes, the information on the proper handling of a knife and its sharpening is as important as anything in any survival scenario. My personal experience in bushcraft reinforces Kochanski's comments about a sharp knife. Very few bushcrafters today know how to properly sharpen a knife. And Kochanski rightly gives a guideline as to what constitutes a sharp knife--the ease in slicing through a standard sheet of typing paper. If you cannot take a blade to this level easily, then you need to read this book. Kochanski writes from of position of being there and actively practicing these techniques. His detailed safety comments on knife, saw and axe are invaluable. This definitely ranks in the top five survival books out there.
5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Wilderness Living Skills/ Long Term Survival Book
Mors is the Grand father on this subject. This book shows practical outdoor skills for the beginner. For the more experienced, it offers fantastic reading, great drawings & truly relevant refresher information.Mors has an impressive resume. He has spent 40+ years learning/teaching wilderness living & survival skills. His specialty is the Boreal forest of Canada.Bushcraft covers: firecraft, axecraft, knifecraft, sawcraft, bindcraft, sheltercraft & also discusses trees, shrubs & a couple animals common to the northern forest. The information contained within the pages are invaluable to someone looking to spend alot of time in the bush.if you live in the deserts, prairies, etc. this book may not be relevant to your bio-region. However, it is still a fantastic read.I studied under Mors many years ago. He is a thesaurus of information.I highly recommend this book! Also look for videos of him on youtube!!!!Sean (thru Brittany's account)

Pflichtlektüre für jeden Bushcrafter / Survivalist
Mors Kochanski (10.11.1940 – 05.12.2019) war ein polnisch / kanadischer Survival-, Bushcraft- und Wildnisinstructor, mit internationalem Bekanntheitsgrad und bildete hauptsächlich Zivilisten, aber auch Militärangehörige in Kanada, Schweden, USA und England aus.Mors Kochanski verwendet den Begriff "Bushcraft" und dürfte diesen auch geprägt haben. Sein Fokus liegt klar auf dem Überleben und Langzeitaufenthalt im "Woodland", also in bewaldeten Gebieten, wie man sie in Europa oder Nordamerika vorfindet. Wer also eine Art "Survival Lexikon" mit allgemeinen Tipps sucht, wie man es z.B. von der Legende Rüdiger Nehberg kennt, wird hier also nicht fündig.Stattdessen geht es um die detaillierte Darstellung und Vermittlung von Wissen für Bushcraft, also Feuer machen, Koch-Setups errichten, Unterkünfte bauen, Kälteschutz und den Umgang mit Werkzeugen wie Axt und Messer.Die Abbildungen sind natürlich nicht modern sondern gleichen eher Bleistiftskizzen, aber sie reichen dennoch aus, um das zu vermitteln was der Autor damit erklären möchte.Für jeden Bushcrafter / Survivalist eine Pflichtlektüre.
Una excellente referencia
a pesar de ser un libro sobre el Norte y en ingles, ofrece tantas técnicas útiles a estudiar y muy detalladas, sobre el uso del cuchillo con securidad, sobre el fuego, sobre la tala de árboles, sobre los refugios primitivos de emergencia, etc... claramente es una necesidad leerlo.la flora descrita se limita al bosque boreal, pero hay un montón de ideas de "bushcraft" que se pueden adaptar a otras maderas .
