In perhaps the best-known and best-selling book on camping of all-time, Nessmuk (George W. Sears) shares his vast knowledge of the wild ways and life outdoors. Finding solace in the woods from ill health in the city, Nessmuk found himself a solo canoe and traveled the American Adirondacks. Inspired by the natural beauty and the ability of nature to restore vitality, Nessmuk penned this oft-cited classic volume on camping, wilderness, and woodcraft skills.After collecting stories, tips, tidbits, and tricks of the outdoors, Nessmuk's first version of Woodcraft was published in 1884, representing the first well-known how-to manual for the outdoors.Perhaps Nessmuk's most famous line in this book inspires folks to get outside and enjoy nature's way of recharging our batteries: "We do not go out to the woods to rough it; we go to smooth it - we get it rough enough in town. But let us live the simple, natural life in the woods, and leave all frills behind."This Legacy Edition of Woodcraft is a facsimile reprint of the twelfth printing (1900).
