About This Book

A practical manual that teaches how to outfit, provision, and cook for outdoor excursions, distinguishing lightweight walking trips from permanent camps. It supplies detailed checklists for clothing, tents, tools, firearms, and food, with season-specific adjustments and packing tips. The text explains campfire and stove cooking methods, basic recipes, food storage and preservation, and includes an expert chapter on cleaning fish. An appendix addresses health and comfort in the field. Emphasis rests on simplicity, economy, and making outdoor camping and camp cooking accessible to inexperienced vacationers.

INTRODUCTION TO SECOND EDITION

In laying this new edition of “Camping and Camp-Cooking” before the reading public, it becomes my duty—the most pleasant that falls to the lot of a writer—to express my thanks for the kind reception of the little book. That it has been a success is proven by the kind words of practical people. Hence, but little change has been made in the body of the book; but an appendix has been added on the care of the health, the reason for which will be found therein expressed.
