@@hiddenwoodsben We are standing on the shoulders of those who came before us. That's why we can get higher and see further. I agree, Mors would be delighted :)
The "Super Shelter" concept has become so expansive, and so varied in its applications, that it probably deserves its own, standalone book or survival course by now. It's gone well beyond just being a subset of Kochanski's teachings.
Having had Mors as an Instructor he was most assuredly knowledgeable and paid homage to the 1t Nations people who had taught him up in the far North. He made those models for up to 4 and that group was in tshirts while the fire was up. Good memories thx
Great vid on adding to Mors Kochanski survival kit. Mors was known for “the more you know the less you carry” His super shelter was brilliant for the boreal forest winter survival.
Every kit, even Mors', can and should be tweaked depending on the expectation and experiences of the survivor. As always you make an entertaining and educational video. Cannot wait to see this kit in action. Thanks for sharing
It's so good to see the legacy of the legendary Mors Kochanski. His Super Shelter concept is really brilliant, can be adapted and evolve in time. Thank you Andrew, Mors would be proud and happy!
The ingenuity of man never ceases to amaze me!!! Excellent content… love your videos…always learn something new… Looking forward to those outdoor winter videos incorporating this raised bed/super shelter… Thanks for taking us along on your adventures… they are a blessing to me… 🙏🏻🥰
I went to a karamat class about 15 yrs ago and mors taught us the super shelter it got down to 15 below zero at night and stayed around 60-65 degrees during the day and 50s at night with a long big fire 3 paces away mors loved big fires
Great job Andrew!!! Awesome class on the super shelter upgrade and MKs 2 kilo survival kit! I heard something about winter survival training…Do I sense something fun on the horizon? I can’t wait to see more! Keep up the Fire!!!
Great video. Really like the tweaks to the original kit. My favorite Mors Kochanski quote, "The more you know the less you have to carry" He was a legend!
Thanks for the straight up, no nonsense, no egomaniac approach that most YT hosts have picked up. This vid is really helpful, thank you. Stay safe, Be Blessed.
Improve, adapt, and overcome. I respect all the work Mors has done for survival and bushcrafting, but I also appreciate the adaptations made by practitioners like yourself. As advances in technology and materials present themselves, it is only right that these are consider.
Good evening Major. There's nothing wrong with improving on something. I'm quite that Mr. Kochanski wasn't born with his talents for bushcraft. He had to learn from someone. And no doubt HE improved on a few things he learned from others. You learned from him and the Army. We learn craft from you, and live to teach it to others ! As of this afternoon, I have one "emergency/survival kit" 125% complete, and a second one just at 80%...need another Sawyer water filter, and a tarp/poncho & wobbie (the Swiss ponchos would require cutting and taping/sewing for shelter use). Looking forward to your next !
A solid temporary fix for the lack of grommets on a poncho is simply finding some kind of filler material for the primary corners something like a small piece of wood with rough edges knocked off or a smooth stone of some kind along those lines then you just loop some cordage around it after a light overlap and that'd be a temporary idea.
@@Horde334 those Swiss ponchos are designed and sewn to be worn (10 years ago I got 5 brand new for $15). They don't lay flat when open like U.S. poncho. I have a brand new U.S. poncho and matching wubbie arriving this week. So I'll just use the Swiss ones for what they were intended.
That was an excellent video....many, many little tips tp remember. I was cutting the bags on both ends and not filling them with debris...just one great tip after another....great job...from an ex military army guy
Yes excellent training! My favorite time of the year. Fall and winter. Always like the hobo fishing line stuff. Great little kit in itself. That Military sewing kit sure is worth its weight in titanium. Huh? Thanks for sharing and reinforcing the knowledge passed down through the ages. Gonna be training next weekend in your old stomping grounds. Sangre de Cristo range.
I slept in one of these almost identical to this and it was hot! It was negative 20F and I had to strip down to my base layer. Pretty darn awesome stuff! Thanks for the video!
One thing I suggest for bushmen over 40 who wear glasses, is a 10× jewelers loop. Just a cheap plastic one that will fit around your eye, hands free (about $4). For removing slivers, reading tiny print, starting fires, or any other tasks that require more vision than your standard glasses can afford you. I carry one daily and have 1 in my truck, car, bug out bag and edc kit.
If need be you could heat rocks up next to the fire (not rocks that have been in water) and push them near or under the shelter for added heat. Great video. Thanks for this
Is this my favorite one? Ugh, can't pick just 1, can't pick just 5, can't pick just 10 either. Such awesome content and you keep adding more so I'll never be able to choose just 1!
Nice job. Enhancements seem to be a natural evolution of the technology of survival. I believe Mors would be pleased with your contributions. I know I am also inspired to be thinking in this regard myself. Thanks for your efforts.
Hi , Andrew ,neat shelter design, will reserve comment on it until you've tested it well, as for the Mors kit, the original list of items that he recommended would still work today, but I agree whith you that advances in bushcraft items can give us some better choices now, but there's nothing wrong whith The kit he put together and if we were SOL,we'd be glad of it. Your videos demonstrate various kit in action, and can save us a whole lot of trouble in selecting items to put in our go bag, and for that you have my thanks, stay safe Major, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart uk.
Great video! Great set up! I personally like two racks on the tripods..bunkbead style, I use the other bunk to keep my gear dry! And other things close at hand, easy to grab from other bunk. Keep up the training as always!
Now I'm going to have to watch your other videos to see when you slept in this type of shelter, I love this idea. I wonder about it working up here in the cold country as the supershelter used a raised bed already with no insulation underneath so that the heat from the fire could also go underneath the bed and warm from below. You my also have mentioned this in another video, but Mors recommended sizing the pot to the need. His smallest option was 1.8L but he also used much bigger pots for winter which is why your jacket didn't fit. But love this innovation!
Ingenious and practical, especially for boggy or rough areas where lying on the ground would be problematic. Who knew drum liners were that strong? Thanks for another informative video.
Great video! These adaptations are very cool, I have watched More's videos and saw this exact one. Thanks for great info. I've been a subscriber to you for some time now, and was pleased to hear your channel reccomemded to the viewers of Corporal's Corner, very trustworthy.
Love the idea of insulating the bed with leaves/vegetation. That works in my area (midwest). I also love the idea of closing off the ends of the tube as in my area along the Missouri River, mosquitoes will eat you alive.
Excellent Andrew! I am not a purist, i.e. only using "old school" materials, using modern technology and materials are better ( in my opinion) i.e. cordura nylon vs cotton canvas has more advantages. And yes, I still use wool, flint and steel, etc. because they remain viable options. FYI: I have commented on many videos (like latest from Shawn) that a medium weight translucent showe curtain makes a great door for the super shelter, using 550-cord through the grommets to open and close it - just a thought.
Ive been wanting to build that 6 mil trashbag bed for awhile now since i seen it on Corporals Corner. Some of the stuff ive learned from you ive never seen before, life saving stuff. Thank you for your videos.
Great shelter set up. I have read much from Mors Kochanski, I like the idea of the suspended shelter rather than cutting enough brush to build a foot thick mat. CB Spady
Love all the Mors Kochanski references. All great advise from a great man who really knew how to break things down into what's important out on the field! Thanks for passing on the knowledge! RLTW!
Great video that's what my kit looked like when I was young and poor haha 😂 I'm not being mean at all, it was simple and cheap so I could still have a blast. We used plastic from job sites that has that fiber reinforcement and mule tape from the electricians I used it many times for hoisting my pack up higher in the tree to keep it away from animals among other things.
We need more people like this guy in the world, i cant tell hes a legit bad ass! Thanks for your service, as i assume you served in Americas military! Id love to be able to hang with this guy, but his you tube videos will suffice..
Thanks Andrew for your insightful twists on what for me have become foundational principles. Mors is and will always be the master! Thank you for acknowledging him!
Just so happens I recently got a hammock. I have no goal to go winter hammocking here in Canada, but I definitely might try the super shelter setup just for kicks!
Excellent video, i liked the bed idea., thank you. Add leather gloves protect from cold and fire building. Besides those tweezers i added a nail clipper. I actually carry one connected to my swiss army knife.
Andrew - I’m sure your version of the suspended “super shelter” works fine under temperate conditions, but consider placing your bed elevation closer to the ground level under colder conditions, the better to take advantage of the radiant energy from the fire. As built in this video, and with the fire at ground level, much of that energy will radiate beneath your bed, and your reflector will largely be shaded from the infrared energy by the bed, itself.
Lot of good information but I’m not gonna be held up by two garage bags but I do keep a couple rabbit food bags. Have fun on your outings and stay safe.
ha, i built that one two years ago and had a pleasant night despite it being a particularly mean night in a particularly mean winter in the upper blackforest. one thing i did different, which was the lower section of the grabber. i staked it down to be almost flush with the ground. less convection and more reflective heat from the fire, though i recognize that is a rather minute detail.
I’m sure Mors would be delighted you’re building on his advice rather than canonising it and never updating it. Nice job dude!
he even said that, i don't know in which book it was again, when he talked about zirks (ferrorods).
@@hiddenwoodsben We are standing on the shoulders of those who came before us. That's why we can get higher and see further. I agree, Mors would be delighted :)
@@ogi22 i wholeheartedly agree
I hope everyone gets out on December 5 to honour Mors by just being out in the forest & maybe having a coffee. 🔥🇨🇦
No there's nothing wrong with me, I just watched this video again and liked it again. Thanks for making the video.

Nice job on the mattress! I like the insulation you added.
Leaf debris should definitely help . Good tribute to Mors . Thanks for bringing us along . Have a good one
Great video and nice way to be off the ground....Freedom for all people...
Each video is getting better and better Major. Thank you for your efforts to give us survival knowledge.
It's so good to see the legacy of the legendary Mors Kochanski. His Super Shelter concept is really brilliant, can be adapted and evolve in time. Thank you Andrew, Mors would be proud and happy!
Really cool Mors Kochanski adaptation.
That’s an ideal modification to the super shelter. Outstanding instruction as as always. 🤙

I have no idea how I had not came across you earlier, but I will now be binge watching your videos.
Welcome!
That shelter idea was absolutely awesome. Love that idea. Thanks for all of the education. Love this channel.
I love the survival crockpot idea. Boil water, then go around the landscape finding food to throw in there.

I really like a raised bed in the style shown , have not used leaves etc for the additional insulation, will definitely try that.
I slept in one of these almost identical to this and it was hot! It was negative 20F and I had to strip down to my base layer. Pretty darn awesome stuff! Thanks for the video!
Great, down, and dirty video. Lots of great information, looking forward to the winter survival video.
I have found a piece of parachute fabric to close in the leeward side helps with condensation and ventilates the shelter. Packs up pretty tight too.
What you have done has convinced me that I was right for lightening my load. Thanks brotherman. " Semper Fi!"

Andrew, great video and info!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No swamp Kool Aid this week ?
Great training video Andrew. Thanks for letting us tag along. I’m looking forward to your winter test of this gear and setup.
Mors would be happy that his shelters are still being utilized and upgraded with respect. Great content brother!

Great video. Thanks for all the information. I have been building kits based on your videos. You still have to get a p38 can opener. Great job.
Did dye the mule tape Great video
Good job good video. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
Outstanding! Totally down with the kit although I would recommend an antibiotic cream tube and bug repellent. Great job though👍 Lead the way 😎👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks for another great video!

Nice improvement on the Mor’s Super Shelter and Corporal inspired bunk.
Super job!!
Cool stuff my friend 🤠
Keep'em coming sir, another great one.
Awesome, gotta try this out!
Was just updating my own "camp-kit" couple days ago. This stuff is fun and useful.
Another great video. Thanks for what you do brother. You are appreciated
Fantastic stuff! The best survival kit definitely should be in a backpack especially in winter.🏕🔥
