Product Description
by Palmer River Publishing (Editor), George Washington Sears (Author)
"Woodcraft" is dedicated to the Grand Army of "outers", as a pocket volume of reference on - woodcraft.
For brick and mortar breed filth and crime,
With a pulse of evil that throbs and beats;
And men are withered before their prime
By the curse paved in with the lanes and streets.
And lungs are poisoned and shoulders bowed,
Is the smothering reek of mill and mine;
And death stalks in on the struggling crowd -
But he shuns the shadow of oak and pine.
NESSMUK

Unlike other reissued editions of this historic book, this one is is presented in convenient 5x8 size for easy inclusion into the pocket or daypack. Using the original illustrations and layout, this precisely reprinted edition of Woodcraft is a worthy addition to the bookshelf of any serious hiker, backpacker, outdoor guide or bushcraft practitioner - the "outers" of the 21st century.
