Camping and Woodcraft
“A Handbook for Vacation Campers and for Travelers in the Wilderness”
Horace Kephart
Horace was born just at the Civil War was ending. His child hood is defined as; “ I had no playmates…I made wooden guns, pistols, hatchets, and a thing I called a cutlass. …..”. He spent much of his life in the woods and placed his life’s work Camping and Woodcraft. Origanlly publishind in 1906 and expanded in 1916-1917. The information represented in the 478 page book covers everything a person would need to survive in the woods. It is complete with lists of provisions, shelter manufacturing, fishing, small and large game preparation, knots, and safe water preparation. This book covers information that is being lost every year by older generations. Most people could not survive with out the local market or convenience stores. Natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina taught us that we need to prepare for emergencies. You should think about the book as a guide book and reference point. Read the book and look through the lists of provisions, and then make your own adjustments. Take the time to prepare for disasters that may impact your local area, as we learned from other disasters it may take days and sometimes weeks before help can arrive.
This is an excellent book for reference and planning and can be purchased from Amazon.com
