About this book
Too much luggage can spoil a holiday in the woods before the camp is even pitched. Writing as Nessmuk, George Washington Sears addresses workers who need a break from crowded streets and demanding jobs, but cannot afford an expensive outing with every comfort supplied. His camping handbook argues for light equipment, sensible clothing and careful preparation, down to the weight of boots and the fit of a knapsack.
Woodcraft combines practical recommendations with stories about the mistakes campers make. One episode follows younger men whose impressive bonfire and scant bedding leave them restless through the night, while an older companion quietly observes their troubles. Fishing gear, shelter, camp chores and cooking equipment belong to the same concern with making outdoor life manageable. Today's readers can approach the book as a record of earlier camping habits and an opinionated account of how simplicity can improve a stay in the forest.
