The outdoor survival expert’s complete primer on traditional camping techniques—newly revised and updated with color photos and illustrations. Before the days of RVs and nylon sleeping bags, people still went camping. In this comprehensive volume, wilderness educator David Prescott explains the methods used during the golden age of camping, including woodcraft, how to set a campfire, food preparation, pitching a tent, auto camping, and canoeing. More than a simple how-to guide, Camping in the Old Style explores the rich history of American camping, with wisdom from classic books written by camping pioneers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Wescott also discusses his own methods, techniques, and philosophies. The information and ideas are brought to life through both archival and contemporary photographs.

Finally published in 1917 and coming in at over 400 pages long, Horace Kephart's Camping and Woodcraft Volume I - Camping is almost universally acknowledged as THE definitive period text on the subject of camping in the old style. Written as it was during the Golden Age of American camping, this volume is packed with details on tents, sleeping, cooking and camp equipment of all kinds as well as an extensive section on camp cookery. Aside from the nuts and bolts information on what to take, the volume is packed with forgotten wisdom on topics as diverse as camp health and hygeine, keeping and staying dry using cotton and canvas and much, much more. Although Kephart had previously published The Book of Camping and Woodcraft in 1906, a decade later, in 1916, he released a much revised and expanded edition. This edition is so extensive that we have had to split it into two separate volumes for easy reading. This volume is an exact replica of the original. Page layout, numbering, table of contents, illustrations and index are identical to the definitive 1917 edition. If you're seeking to move away from the commercialism, tech-focus and planned obsolescence which is such a part of today's dog-eat-dog outdoor industry, do yourself a favour and take back the Great Outdoors on your own terms by following Kephart's timeless advice from a century ago. The interior of this new edition from Ropesend Creek Press is a perfect replica of the original. Page numbering, illustrations, layout, table of contents, index and any footnotes are exactly as they appeared when the original book was published. With this new edition, the book is ready for a new lease of life through a modern readership.

Excerpt from Practical Hints on Camping A Recent writer has well said that the genuine camper divides the year by the 1st of January. Up to that time his talk is all about the last camp he had, and after that it is all of the next camp. The old adage "Seize time by the forelock, for he is bald behind," applies as well to pleasure as to business. Double is the enjoyment to the lover of woodland life if he knows weeks ahead just when, and just where, he is going to spend his vacation. Nor can he too early in the season look over and perfect his kit. Many an hour's dearly bought pleasure has been marred by simply not preparing in time. The camper should always bear in mind that homely phrase, and "get a good ready." Make out a full inventory of all you have on hand which you may want for the next vacation.
