so-soThis is from an American point of view, so some of the things in here weren't relevant to me.
There wasn't much to be learned here either for me as I've read most of the things in other books.
When I bought this book, I knew nothing about it, I bought it because of the title.
After buying it though, I quickly found out that it was first printed in 1905, so it's severely outdated and only some of it was transferable.
This is the kind of practical advice I am here for.
“When you seek a guide in the mountains he looks first in your eyes and then at your shoes. If both are right, you are right.”
“You may loan your last dollar to a friend; but never loan him your axe, unless you are certain that he knows how to use it.”
“We do not go to the woods to rough it; we go to smooth it—we get it rough enough in town. But let us live the simple, natural life in the woods, and leave all frills behind.” Kephart quoting Nessmuk
“A camper should know for himself how to outfit, how to select and make a camp, how to wield an ax and make proper fires, how to cook, wash, mend, how to travel without losing his course, or what to do when he has lost it; how to trail, hunt, shoot, fish, dress game, manage boat or canoe, and how to extemporize such makeshifts as may be needed in wilderness faring. And he should know these things as he does the way to his mouth.”
