The golden guide to camping

This is a book for beginning Campers. There are 8 chapters covering: 1.Call of the Wild, 2.What to Take, 3.What to Wear, 4.Camp Cooking, 5.Camp Skills, 6.Health & Safety, 7.Survival, & 8.Where to Go, What to Do. I bought this book in 1966. I've been Scouting, camping, hiking, canoeing, enjoying the Great Outdoors ever since. A lot in this little book still holds true today (2011). Polartec replaces wool, aluminum & plastic replaces steel and wood, etc. The use of knives, axes, fires, purifying water, ropes, knots, and lashings, shelters, protection from rain, wind, sun, cold, first-aid, orienteering, safe canoeing, insects, animals, & plants and more still holds for today. A pretty good little book for any beginner or novice regardless of age. There is a section on our National Parks. Enjoy Nature...God created it for us to enjoy and take care of. DB
