More About This Book

Overview

Woodcraft is dedicated to the Grand Army of “Outers,” as a pocket
volume of reference on woodcraft.

For brick and mortar breed filth and crime,
With a pulse of evil that throbs and beats;
And men are withered before their prime
By the curse paved in with the lanes and streets.

And lungs are poisoned and shoulders bowed,
In the smothering reek of mill and mine;
And death stalks in on the struggling crowd—
But he shuns the shadow of oak and pine.

—Nessmuk

    Read this book, then get out Read this book, then get outside.

    Humerous and educational account of camping in the mid 1800's. Sears manages to convey his love of the wilderness and dismay at its destruction in a way that effortlessly bridges the intervening 150 years. In addition, there are practical tips and tricks that will help even the most vetern 'old woodsman'. I get the feeling he'd like the idea of our generation learning from him and contonuing to find peace in the woods.
