About this book
Packing less and resting better are the guiding ideas in George Washington Sears's handbook for life in the woods. Writing as Nessmuk, he addresses working people who want an affordable break beside a forest lake or stream. His opening advice weighs the value of clothing, boots, bedding and shelter against the burden of carrying them. The contents extend that practical approach to tools, fishing tackle, campfires, cooking and light canoes.
Advice comes with stories and a dry sense of humor. In one camp scene, an experienced woodsman watches younger companions struggle through a restless night beside an ill-planned fire, then gives them a pointed lesson about dirty frying pans. Readers interested in the history of outdoor recreation will find detailed equipment choices alongside arguments for simpler holidays, showing how comfort and economy shape Sears's approach to camping.
