Written in 1884 under the pen name Nessmuk , Woodcraft and Camping is the classic and timeless guide on roughing it by expert woodsman George Washington Sears. Born the eldest of ten children in Massachusetts in 1821, Sears took the pen name Nessmuk from a Native American who befriended him as a child. This connection and an early exposure to books on Native American culture left Sears with a life-long love and appreciation for survival skills in the forest and adventure-seeking in the natural world. Sears made a living as a sportswriter for Field and Stream magazine and was an early conservationist and proponent of the ultra-light backpacking and canoeing movement, which remains popular to this day. Having remained in print ever since its original publication, Woodcraft and Camping remains as full of practical advice and instruction as it did when it was first published. This informative guide is a must-have for any outdoors enthusiast and provides priceless advice on building fires, cooking outside, building shelters, hunting, fishing, and the tools that are needed to survive in the wilderness. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
