Stuff You Need to Survive When Disaster Strikes

Cody has been a friend and colleague for several decades and many hours have been spent around the ancestral skills gatherings fires. His specialty has always been going out with minimal gear and he remains #1 on the list of who you would want with you in that situation. He gained renown on the reality TV show called “Dual Survivor” where he was able to share his knowledge of surviving in difficult situations with countless people.

Outdoor Skills and Wilderness Survival

New Edition

by Mors Kochanski

Great information on a variety of essential outdoor skills, with critical details seldom found elsewhere.

Mors was an incredible and engaging teacher who really knew his stuff and spending time in his presence at skills gatherings over the years was an honor. The little tidbits of experience that he would drop at regular intervals have fed and nourished countless people to dig deeper and put them into action in excursions of their own. His impact on the ancestral skills community can be seen in many ways, the least of which is the widespread use of the Mora knife.
