Proof positive you dont need high tech gadgets to have a safe and enjoyable time in the outdoors. In fact, I carry it with me into the woods on a regular basis. This book is a classic Adirondack outdoor skills book that really puts you into the mood to be out in the woods. I use very similar equipment to this day on my trips to the woods~.~ Oh.dont be fooled, the price of a canoe has gone up. My copy is in tatters and I had to buy a new one. The information on what to carry, how to's and so on are as true today as they were when the book was written. LOLShawn A. Merritthttp://www.woodlandsurvival.com
Great old school camping/survival book. This book is around 100 years old, so its not exactly up-to-date on gear and supplies. However, it may not be for everyone. If you want a hard core survival book, or something to help you choose gear, this isn't the right book. It is a great book that covers the basics and philosophy of hiking and camping. This isn't the only book I would buy, but it is a must for a collection.
"Nessmuk" wrote for an era when much of the lower 48 was still wilderness, and his writings are an entertaining time machine trip to a long-gone era. Myself, I enjoyed reading the book very, very much. But you can no longer start a campsite by cutting down a half-dozen trees.
Talk about a look back in time; this little book makes you appreciate the times Sears was living. It's amazing how much some things have changed, yet so much has remained the same. Nothing really profound here, just a great expression of the ways things were in that period of time. The writing style of that period is refreshing, as well.
