"Nessmuck" packs alot of plain, easy to understand, and best of all sound knowledge. I had heard that this was at one time considered the bible of camping guides. I enjoyed the read and learned alot. I ordered it and it came in looking suprisingly short. I started reading it skeptically and found it to be really entertaining and full of good info. It's small and light enough to pack. It should probably be in every camper and outdoorsman's library.
the book was received very quickly and efficiently. the book was in excellent condition when i received it. would buy from this seller again.
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.
