As with many popular subjects, new books are constantly being written on camping or (under the new term) survival. Horace Kephart"s "The Book of Camping & Woodcraft" is THE classic upon which other survival/camping books rewrite. The information Kephart provides is proven and timeless. Sure, you won"t learn the best way to operate your GPS or cell phone, but you do learn the best tools and items for your kit, camp fires, cooking outdoors, marksmanship, trapping, skinning, plants, first aid and literally everything necessary to keep you alive outdoors. This is a photographic reproduction of the classic 1906 edition.
