Library of American Outdoors Classics Camp And Trail Methods (Legacy Edition), Book 4, (Paperback)

Tips and Tricks for Life on the Trail!

This reprint edition of the classic Camp and Trail Methods by Elmer Kreps brings to light many of the old-time tricks and traditional ways of the woods that some of the more comprehensive instruction manuals leave out.

Originally published in 1910, this book includes less-common, but enjoyable activities of the wilds.Activities discussed within include: backwoods travel, snowshoeing and snowshoe making, toboggan and sled making, trapping, fur preparation and buckskin tanning, skiing, clothing for the outdoors, and bushcraft.

This text was a popular volume originally published by the A. R. Harding Company at the turn of the 20th Century. The Harding Company published little manuals for niche outdoors activities instead of the the general camping manuals that were in virtually every collection in the day.

If you ever wanted to make your own outdoors gear in the traditional way of the trapper, then this book is for you! Because there were virtually no outfitters in the late 1800's, everything had to be made from scratch, by hand! Let Elmer Kreps show you the way to making some of your own authentic outdoors gear with this handy, richly illustrated little book!
