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.
