    As always, I find it an absolute pleasure, no its a privilege to be able to listen to the vast body of knowledge that Mors Kochanski has amassed over a long career. I am forever amazed when I listen to 'The Professor of Bushcraft' . I have watched every single video You have ever done Mors, for you are truly my Bushcraft Guru. I am hoping to make it out to Alberta in the near future as I would really like to meet you in person. I would be very interested in helping catalog your information repository. Thanks to you Mors, for a lifetime of dedicated learning, honing and perfecting your woodsman and bushcraft skills so that you were able to contribute to every bushcrafter in the world today. Kudos to you my dear Bushcraft Brother.

    We don't see Mors very much these days, unfortunately; and it's quite understandable as well as acceptable. But when he does pop in to see us and talk to us, it's like playing your favorite music; you just sit back, listen, and enjoy. Que Dieu vous bénisse Mountain Man. Best wishes for a wonderful Christmas, and a safe and prosperous Winter. Peace

    Thanks for the video, Mr. Kochanski :) An entire chapter on knife safety sounds perfectly reasonable & as a learner, I'm glad that an instructor of your reputations has taken the time & energy to help me avoid cutting myself by offering sound & sensible advice :)

    Many thanks to Mors! As for cutting towards one's body, it is a very common technique among the aboriginal people of Russia, their knive's blades are designed a certain way to make it easier.

    This is absolutely essential watching for any of us who work with knives. Kochanski's experience is invaluable to all of us. Thank you for sharing!

    thanks so much Mors! and also for being humble enough to show&share your mistakes throughout your content - people learn just as much from mistakes, it makes you relatable, and it's actually encouraging =)

    I started with a knife at the age of 8 with little real instruction. I gave myself tons of minor cuts, but by the time I reached 12-13, I was more competent and safe with a knife than most people I knew. The muscle memory I gained then I with me today, I know what cuts to make, and which ones not to.
    Watching this video was the first time I had heard someone corroborate my knife habits out loud as technique.
    Every cut is a learning experience. and Im still learning.
    Thanks Mors!

    There's a winter survival game called the long dark that takes place in northern Canada. The interiors of the houses in that game look exactly like this.

    At times I had to stop and take a breath, it was very terrible to hear about the thigh and palm injuries. But nonetheless a great video on a very important topic, you sir are a wealth of knowledge and I'm more than honoured to listen to you.

    Thanks for the video. I must say that an entire book can be dedicated to knife use. Carving books would be an example of an entire genre dedicated to this. Great information here as always.

    Mr. Mors, thank you for this. I worked in a custom butcher shop for many years and I experienced, I think all of the cuts you pointed out, including the inner thigh. I am not sure I touched the femoral but I do know that the bleeding was severe, very severe.

    10* Excellent vid, and timely. Mentioned to Canterbury and his use of files and knife sharpening and scaring "me" with filing toward the blade ... and later he slashed himself. Then a, within days, UK young lady site, was potentially "air whacking" (that really gets my dander up) ... and she slashed across her hand ... and I got all the anger for responding to her ... !
    So thanks for the vid. No air whacking, no blades toward one's self, or anybody in the area. Stick the *&^&^ stick, log, carving project into a stump as a fixed backstop that can take a cut instead!
    If I see any of these actions from any old or young people, you won't be hiking, camping, bushing, or prepping anywhere near me! I'm not doing your medical wound treatment (and I can!) or hauling your slashed body from the outback to a hospital!

    Thank you sir. Contrary to the critic on Amazon, I don't believe there is such a thing as too much safety. It seems that most cuts occur when the mind is not completely on the task. Constant repetition of safety rules is about the only insurance against this

  • @godlyprepping1306
    @godlyprepping1306 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you, sir. There's not enough instruction on knife safety, as our ERs can well attest. Just as people need firearm training before turning them loose into the world, so there needs to be blade training.
