This book includes a bunch of fun ideas that at first glance may look a bit strange, but are certain to provide hours of fun for both kids and adults alike! Beard richly described and illustrated his activities in this book, including fire-making by friction and percussion, fire lays and cooking, camp cookery and kitchens, packing horses and dogs, packing your backpack for the long haul, saddles, camp gadgets, camp furnishings, choosing camp sites, axe and saw work, council fires and assembly fire grounds, and “reading” the woods. A part of Dan Beard’s outdoors handy-book collection from the early 1900s, with each book filled with excellent unique ideas, some of which people today have never tried! This book makes a perfect gift for campers, hikers, bushcrafters, outdoorsmen, folks who enjoy the forest and the open air, scouts, and scout leaders.
