Woodcraft and Camping
Woodcraft and Camping is the outdoor handbook of George Washington Sears, who wrote under the name Nessmuk and published it in 1884 as Woodcraft, dedicated to what he called the Grand Army of Outers. Sears, a slight man who traveled the Adirondack lakes alone in featherweight canoes, argues for going light and doing things simply. He covers what to carry, from knapsack, hatchet and knives to tinware and fishing tackle, how to avoid getting lost, how to build shelters and proper campfires, fishing with and without flies, camp cookery with plain recipes, and the light canoe and double paddle. This is a slightly abridged later edition. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
