The Book of Camping & Woodcraft

Meer over het boek

This description pertains to the 2011 reprint with the green and black cover, which is an exact reproduction of the original 1910 edition, maintaining the original layout and illustrations without any errors. The book emphasizes the freedom of the true camper, who values the landscape over ownership, as expressed by H. Kephart. Initially published in 1906, this definitive pocket field guide for early 20th-century woodsmen and campers was reprinted in 1910 as a "Heritage Edition." In 1916, Kephart expanded the work into two volumes to cover wagon camping and semi-permanent base camp construction, akin to modern car camping. The 1910 edition is regarded as the "purest" version of the text. Fully illustrated with photographs and diagrams, this book is rich in woodcraft knowledge and serves as an essential resource for any rugged outdoorsman or bushcraft enthusiast.
