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.
