Grand Syllabus by Mors Kochanski
Mors Kochanski's enthusiasm for wilderness recreation, his extensive knowledge of the field, and his desire to learn everything there is to know about the wilderness has made him one of the foremost authorities on wilderness skills in the world. In a time when much of today's literature is a regurgitation of skills and repackaging of methodology, The Grand Syllabus is as original as Kochanski's highly acclaimed book, Bushcraft. An all inclusive syllabus of topics once taught now and again by Mors Kochanski at the University level and in his Extended Summer and Winter Courses and the Survival Instructor Trainee Program. The Grand Syllabus is a compilation derived from the four courses (The Introduction of Outdoor Education, Cold Weather Outdoor Living Skills, Warm Weather Outdoor Living Skills and Primitive Pioneering and Natural Crafting) he taught for the Faculty of Physical Education, The University of Alberta, Edmonton for 23 years. Truly complimentary to the informative material he has already produced, this syllabus is what Mors would say is a list of specific skills you would need to become a well-rounded instructor. As a whole, it is a compilation of wilderness knowledge and skills of special interest to instructors would be instructors and serious students. While not intended for the beginner, should they decide to purchase, they will have a longtime reference in which to grow.Mors Kochanski is well-known in North America for his work in outdoor education, survival, and wilderness survival. His passion for wilderness recreation, broad knowledge of the topic, and determination to learn everything there is to know about the wilderness have made him one of the foremost wilderness experts. Mors Kochanski has worked as an outdoor educator and survival instructor for more than 40 years, including 23 years as a sessional professor at the University of Alberta and a few months at the Canadian Department of National Defense Survival School near Jarvis Lake, Alberta. Mors taught courses for the Alberta Department of Culture, Youth and Recreation for many years, and then for the School District 59 in Dawson Creek, British Columbia, for 17 years, to the benefit of thousands of elementary school students. At this time, this tireless researcher conducted extensive study, worked as a freelance instructor, and penned numerous magazine articles for Alberta Wilderness Arts and Recreation Magazine, as well as popular aid-memoir booklets and the instant classic Northern Bushcraft (now known as Bushcraft).
To accompany his new book, published by Karamat Wilderness Ways, Mors has a long list of outdoor education triumphs. Nowadays, if a course or instructor claims to teach modern survival techniques or Bushcraft, the chances are that they are based on a teaching, a skill, or an idea developed by Mors - whether they realize it or not.
