Excerpt from The Book of Camping But none of these methods of spending a few weeks or months is really camping out in the true sense of the term. To really camp one should be beyond the reach of motor cars and dance music, beyond sight of fashionable clothes and crowded summer resorts, and far enough from civilisation to make one more or less dependent upon the resources of nature and one's own skill and knowledge of woodcraft. To be sure, camping out under such conditions necessitates a certain amount of discomfort and perhaps some hardships, but to overcome these, to make oneself a home and to provide all the necessities of life by one's own efforts and skill in this lies the real enjoyment of camping out.

The outdoor survival expert’s complete primer on traditional camping techniques—newly revised and updated with color photos and illustrations. Before the days of RVs and nylon sleeping bags, people still went camping. In this comprehensive volume, wilderness educator David Prescott explains the methods used during the golden age of camping, including woodcraft, how to set a campfire, food preparation, pitching a tent, auto camping, and canoeing. More than a simple how-to guide, Camping in the Old Style explores the rich history of American camping, with wisdom from classic books written by camping pioneers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Wescott also discusses his own methods, techniques, and philosophies. The information and ideas are brought to life through both archival and contemporary photographs.

Excerpt from Camping Out Camping out may well be classed as one of the liberal arts, so wide is its application. Once the bulwarks of civilisation are removed, veteran and tyro alike come under the same skies, and must conform to the same principles governing life in the open. Whether one hits the far trail, by canoe, pack train or back pack, or whether one camps within easy distance of team transportation, the same actualities of weather, insect life, camp cook ery, and shelter confront one, and their successful solution must be achieved to make the camp an enjoyable memory. Virtually the only difference is in the limitations of weight imposed on the nomadic camper who travels in the wilderness, which limitations are by no means as exacting when the camp is permanently located for the proposed stay. Hence a book on modern camping out would have to contain chapters adapted to both kinds of camping, since the equipment used would vary greatly, while the general system would remain the same.

Excerpt from The Wilderness Campers "Your son has over-studied and is suffering from nervous prostration, Mrs. Beauchamp. Better send him off to the Canadian Northwest - the farther north the better." "But Doctor, I have no one to send with him! You would not have me send him off alone, would you?" "Oh, as for that," was the genial reply of the doctor, "I can find him guide, cook and locality, without any trouble. As for company, why not let Milly and Tom go along with him? The truth is they all stand in need of a change." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Camping Tramping: With Roosevelt This little volume really needs no intro duction; the, two sketches Of which it is made explain and, I hope, justify them selves. But there is one phase of the President's many-sided character upon which I should like to lay especial em phasis, namely, his natural history bent and knowledge. Amid all his absorbing interests and masterful activities in other fields, his interest and his authority in practical natural history are by no means the least. I long ago had very direct proof Of this statement. In some Of my English sketches, following a Visit to that island in 1882, I had, rather by implication than by positive statement, inclined to the opinion that the European forms of ani mal life were, as a rule, larger and more hardy and prolific than the corresponding.

Excerpt from Roy Blakeley's Adventures in Camp Maybe you fellows will remember about how I Was telling you that our troop had a house-boat that was loaned to us for the summer, by a man that lives out our way. He said we could fix it up and use it to go to Temple Camp in. It was a peach of a boat and took the hills fine - that's what: We said just to jolly Pee-wee Harris, who is in our troop. He's awfully easy to jolly, but he doesn't stay mad long, that's one good thing about him. But one trouble, that boat didn't have any power, and it wouldn't even drift right on account of being almost square. Westy Martin said it was on the square, all right. He's a crazy kid, that fellow is. Anyway, the boat didn't have any power. Our scoutmaster, Mr. Ellsworth, said it didn't even have any will power. We couldn't even pole it.
