In scouts we used Mors practices and spent the night out in the late fall using his plastic sheet as a tent. I’ve always had his set up of some sort Ada survival kit. I don’t think people nowadays days give him enough credit to his well thought out kit.

Like you say, the bushpot idea has been around for a long time. Back in the 70s, this was normal here in the UK for a day out in the cuds. It was very basic, as there was nothing geared towards what we call bushcraft today (Ray Mears coined the phrase in the 90's) . Most of our kit was borrowed from our grandparents' kitchen and shed and stuffed into a large pot. Backpacks, unless army surplus, were out of our reach financially, so haversacks or respirator bags/gas mask cases were the norm. Mors was the first person I saw on the Internet advocating the bushpot idea. I learned it from my grandfather, so the method has probably been around for longer than we think. You had a tradition of hobo and itinerant workers in the USA after the great depression. Perhaps it goes back to that? The equipment we have today is light years away from what we used back in the day. Love from Scotland.

The Godfather Mors had the best insights to Survival I've ever found , Awesome kit my friend can't wait for the other video !

Well thought out and appreciated. Great tip at the end: "Over time your kit will evolve." The two items I've added based on that tip is an Ace Bandage & 6 assorted sized Zip-ties. Neither item add weight and I've used both multiple times.

Upgrade the bullion cubes to bone broth, it comes as a powder in little pouches like the coffee, but has ~8-10g of protein.

This is a great kit. You have all basic needs and add what you want.

I’ve found that a bug head net can be used to keep the bugs off & it can be used to hold all of your stuff when you’re boiling water.

If you want a bag for water filtering I'd wrap a Milbank bag around the pot. Then instead of the current bag I'd use a dry bagin which you could store water in if needed and it would keep you kit dry in the meantime. I remember Mors suggesting in a video to fill any extra space you have with cordage.

Great kit! I would a pencil sharpener and a large ziplock bag to hold the contents while the pot is in use. Looking forward to part 2

Excellent video! It might be worth commenting on why Mors prefered the "bush pot". Because of the dimensions, it is more difficult to spill. Remember the short pots in most older mess kits. You could put soup or stew in them , hang em over the fire only to unceremoniously dump in into the fire when you went to stir it. Because the bush pot is taller, that is much less likely to happen. Also having a lid that doesn't just fall off when you invert the pot, but stays in place, just might save your food if it gets kicked over while on the ground. So those specific proportions are more important than folks might think.

Excellent video, lots of thought and knowledge in this kit!

Enjoy the video, good stuff

Always liked Mors bushpot survival kit, well rounded for civilian use. I like to wrap a cotton bandana around my bushpots in transit, multi use and you have something to grab a hot handle right there that isn't going to melt with heat and it keeps your lid closed in transit.

very good kit to put together because I review rations I get water purification tablts in some and solid fuel tabs in some I could add some of those to such a kit

The bandana sheds dye the first few times. I wash mine before I add it to a kit, since I may use it for basic water filtering as you suggested.

Can’t wait for part 2!

Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, that's an excellent kit. Its guaranteed to get you through some challenging times. All the best to you. Stay safe out there. 😊

Can't wait for part 2 thank you see you on fb.

I like the kit, especially the bush pot👍. Have a good day.🇺🇲🔪🔥🌲

i'd add.. a waterproof pocket ribbed notebook. and a pencil.. both can be used in an emergency situation as a fire starter.... the pencil can be shaved. some type of game (cards.. etc)

Great reminder!!! Thanks so much!!!

For the most part that is a pretty good kit. The one thing I differ in you in philosophy on, is if you go in the woods, there is what you have on you and in your pockets there is what you carry in a bag. What you carry in your bag should supplement what you already carry in your pockets or on your belt, like a good knife, a flashlite or a lighter etc.

Nice presentation, and some good ideas. Thanks

An Mors pot kit, water bottle w/cup in an day pack is an good piece of kit. Easy to pack and punches up in capability pretty well.

Great kit! Totally forgot about the Mors pot kit. Thanks for the video.

I picked up a book yesterday called Forester School for grown-ups it is a good book. I am in Northern B.C Canada

An very good well thought out kit overall! Of course everyone has different environments and personal wants/needs, but that kit could get most anyone through a night stranded out in the bush!

Im old..im putting toilet paper and cleaning wipes i my kit...

Good kit , thanks for sharing YAH bless !

Howdy. Great video. In addition….. I carry 6 x 3/4 inch nuts (nuts for bolts). They make great sinkers, great for holding down your make shift trot line and if you tie three together with your string you have a fairly decent bolo for birds and small game.

Click bait. Came here for the pot. Turned out interesting and useful thank you.

Howdy! Just some ideas to throw around... I like to use ramen flavor packets as my water additives. & hobby lobby has 90lb paracord thats thinner than 550 paracord.

Great kit

Great Stuff!

This is great thank you for sharing

Very similar stuff to what i have in my kit. I also "refound" a stainless pot that might serve as a bush pot.

Nice kit bro !! I love making these types of kits ! 👍👍

Yes, lightest do fail. Just set one to the side because it did. As I watch your videos, I am a subject matter student.

The Essee survival tin, is what i use.. its big enough to hold the essentials plus its a pot to cook in

I’m not sure if they ever came back and studied the effects of aluminum after they debunked the original article that purported the correlation between aluminum and alzheimers…..but I do like the stainless pot

You check out Meshtastic yet?

Cool video! I love different kits. How do you like the opinel saw vs silky? How does it compare in size and weight? Looked at them several times but always end up buying silky.

so ya gotta take all that out everytime you make a brew ?

Maybe you could tell us what scenario this is for. Way too many redundancies and way too big to just carry everywhere.

I don't know that I could leave the girl in the thumbnail.

Great kit. May I offer a few suggestions? 1. If you do not already have a stone on your belt knife, a small stone may come in handy to do a touch-up on your blades. 2. We have retired early in SE Asia. We noticed that bullion cubes deteriorate rapidly in our high-humidity, hot environment. We learned that bullion powder available in sachets from Knorr is far superior when stored in our kits. Another commenter before me (@tarody3953) mentioned bone broth in sachets as an alternative. That would be difficult for us to obtain in the Philippines. 3. Ferrocerium rods in contact with dissimilar metals and any moisture can deteriorate to a point where they become useless when needed most. May I suggest that the rod be contained inside a thin plastic tube or similar material so that it will never make contact the the stainless pot or other metal objects. Now, on to part two, we also missed while away from home base
