Woodcraft and Camping;

Writing under the pen name “Nessmuk,” George Washington Sears gained an audience while working for Field and Stream magazine; he eventually published Woodcraft and Camping in 1884, and this delightfully informative little booklet has never been out of print in the over 125 years since. Readers young and old can benefit from the insight of Sears, whose advice harkens back to a time before widespread electricity. For people in modern times, these survival techniques are rarely taught outside of scouting clubs, making the skills and practical applications taught in Woodcraft even more valuable for hikers, campers and hunters.
