Camp and Trail

A practical handbook of wilderness travel and campcraft that compiles field-tested advice on navigation, readiness, and sensible decision-making, with emphasis on developing a reliable sense of direction and thorough route-checking. It surveys personal equipment and clothing, camp and cook outfits, provisions and camp cookery, and the selection, packing, and handling of horses, mules, and burros. Canoe use and travel logistics are also treated. Chapters present hands-on instructions, packing lists, and problem-avoidance tips, and the preface notes the inclusion of supplier recommendations and numerous illustrations to assist readers preparing for extended outdoor excursions.
