Riassunto

George Washington Sears, also known as “Nessmuk,” was a Romantic. He sought to witness the glory and the beauty of nature; to free himself from the vagaries of industrialized civilization. He expressed this philosophy through his pursuit of the minimalist ideal and its use in the outdoors. WOODCRAFT AND CAMPING is Nessmuk’s practical and philosophical guide to camping, traveling, and survival in the woods. The book discusses the foundational skills needed to live in the woods: the art of camping, fishing, fire-making, cooking, shelter, tools, and canoeing. But Nessmuk does not just recite the skills needed, he also tells us about his experiences and conversa- tions during his travels. He provides us with campfire poetry and lore. And he does all of this in a writing style that is eloquent, engrossing, and intrinsically positive."Go light; the lighter the better, so that you have the simplest material for health, comfort and enjoyment.""It is well that a few congenial spirits should at some favorite trysting place, gather around the glowing stove and exchange yarns, opinions and experiences."
