 outdoors reference March 24, 2008
This is probably the most exhaustive and authoritative book on outdoor craft that I have read. Very dry and detail oriented so you have to be interested in the science for it to work. It is not extreme lke the 60/70's survivalist dogma but presented matter of fact and unpretentiously by someone who lived it. With this book you could eke out a living off the land just about anywhere. There are many books that are a better casual read. But it will be hard to beat this book for its pure reference capacity. A classic that makes a great gift to anyone who is outdoors person, wants to know more, about how and why or just curious.

This is a must for any library of outdoor books. It may lack a lot of modern day political correctness but, it was how it was done back then. A great look into outdoor history, this was THE handbook for outdoor wilderness skills and recreation. Any student of wilderness skills MUST have a copy.

Not just one of the classics, one of the best of the classics. If you're serious about the outdoors, this should be on your bookshelf.

You won't find reviews of the latest or lightest gear here. The wisdom though is timeless. For years it has continually provided me a "new" way of doing something in the outdoors, by looking back on how it had been done successfully. Unless your great-grandfather was a camper and left you his memoirs, this belongs on your shelf for ready reference.

The book is really old- getting close to a century- but some of the practical advice is sound. Some of course is bereft of anything but historical value. If you want a practical guide, you can find better.
