Book Description
CAMPING AND WOODCRAFT, VOL. 1 By Horace Kephart Excerpt from Preface The present work is based upon my "Book of Camping and Woodcraft," which appeared in 1906. All of the original material here retained has been revised, and so much new matter has been added that this is virtually a new work, filling two volumes instead of one. My first book was intended as a pocket manual for those who travel where there are no roads and who perforce must go light. I took little thought of the fast-growing multitude who go to more accessible places and camp out just for the pleasure and healthfulness of open-air life. It had seemed to me that outfitting a party for fixed camp within reach of wagons was so simple that nobody would want advice about it. But I have learned that such matters are not so easy to the multitude as I had assumed; and there are, to be sure, "wrinkles," plenty of them, in equipping and managing stationary camps that save trouble, annoyance, or expense. Consequently I am adding several chapters expressly for that class of campers, and I treat the matter of outfitting much more fully than before. Contents I. Woodcraft II. Getting Lost--Bivouacs III. Pathfinding IV. Nature's Guide Posts V. Blazes-Survey Lines-Use of the Compass VI. Route Sketching-Mapping-Measuring VII. Trips Afoot VIII. Packs for Pedestrians IX. How to Walk-A Hunter's Pack-Going Alone X. Concentrated Foods XI. Marksmanship in theWoods XII. Axemanship-Qualities and Utilization of Wood XIII. Tomahawk Shelters-Axemen's Camps-Caches-Masked Camps XIV. Cabin Building-Rustic Furniture XV. Bark Utensils-Bast Ropes and Twine-Root and Vine Cordage-Withes and Splits XVI. Knots, Hitches and Lashings XVII. Trophies-Pelts, Buckskin and Rawhide XVIII. Tanning Skins-Other Animal Products XIX. Cave Exploration XX. Bee Hunting XXI. Edible Plants of the Wilderness XXII. Living off the Country-In Extremis XXIII. Accidents and Emergencies: their Backwoods Treatment ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices. This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making. We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.

Consequently I am adding several chapters expressly for that class of campers, and I treat the matter of outfitting much more fully than before. It is not to be supposed that experienced travelers will agree with me all around in matters of equipment. Every old camper has his own notions about such things, and all of us are apt to be a bit dogmatic. As Richard Harding Davis says, "The same article that one declares is the most essential to his comfort, health, and happiness is the very first thing that another will throw into the trail. A man's outfit is a matter which seems to touch his private honor. I have heard veterans sitting around a camp-fire proclaim the superiority of their kits with a jealousy, loyalty, and enthusiasm they would not exhibit for the flesh of their flesh and the bone of their bone. On a campaign you may attack a man's courage, the flag he serves, the newspaper for which he works, his intelligence, or his camp manners, and he will ignore you; but if you criticise his patent water-bottle he will fall upon you with both fists." Contents I. Vacation Time II. Outfitting III. Tents for Fixed Camps IV. Furniture, Tools, and Utensils for Fixed Camps V. Tents for Shifting Camps VI. Types of Light Tents VII. Light Camp Equipment VIII. Camp Bedding IX. Clothing X. Personal Kits XI. Provisions XII. Camp Making XIII. The Camp-fire XIV. Pests of the Woods XV. Dressing and Keeping Game and Fish XVI. Camp Cookery - Meats XVII. Camp Cookery - Game XVIII. Camp Cookery - Fish and Shellfish XIX. Camp Cookery - Cured Meats, Etc. - Eggs XX. Camp Cookery - Breadstuffs and Cereals XXI.
