The American Boys' Handybook of Camp-Lore and Woodcraft

This book explores the fundamentals of outdoor recreation - camping, fire building, camp cooking, tent-pitching and, just like the Boy Scouts, being prepared! This incredible book could literally save a life! Although marketed for young boys when it was first published, these outdoors skills are essential for anybody and everybody who recreates in the Great Outdoors. You need this book! Chapters include Fire Making by Friction, How to Lay a Good Cooking Fire, Camp Kitchens, Camp Food, Preparing for a Camping Trip, Choosing a Camp Site, and many more. This amazing old book is now almost a century old, but the information is still as pertinent today as it was way back then, perhaps even more so, as we lose these skills, little by little, with every passing year.

As a result, some characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections, blurring, or minor shadows in the page background. This book appears exactly as it did when it was first printed.
