Beschrijving

George Washington Sears, better known by his pen name Nessmuk, was a celebrated outdoor writer in the late 19th century, frequently contributing to Field and Forest, the precursor to todays Field and Stream. His timeless book, Woodcraft, serves as a guide for outdoor enthusiasts, offering invaluable tips on enjoying nature with comfort rather than hardship. While some of his techniques and perspectives may seem outdated or controversial to contemporary readers, his engaging tales of true wilderness adventures, laced with humor, continue to resonate with those who seek to explore the great outdoors. A small man with health challenges, Nessmuk championed lightweight backpacking and canoe travel, stressing the importance of carrying only essential gear—a lesson that remains vital for modern adventurers. Its no wonder that Woodcraft and its slightly abridged version, Woodcraft and Camping, have remained in print since their initial release. - Summary by Fritz
