Camping Out #270937

Perhaps the author's experience of thirty years of camping out in all climes and conditions, going once a month throughout every month of the year, and often once a week in the fall and spring months, will enable him to produce a useful vol ume on the subject. The reader will find that this book covers a wide range, from the de luxe camping of the man who can afford a fine outfit and goes to the woods for rest and recreation, to the explorer's and hunter's camping, where get ting into big game country or little-travelled lands far from the nearest railroad involves the utmost of comfort on the minimum of weight. Between the two lie many variations, such as the canoeist's trip, the lone hike, the automobilist's trek, the winter cruise by snow shoe and toboggan, the late fall camp where the tent stove becomes a feature, and the beach camp where sand and wind offer a new set of conditions requiring special solutions.
