101 Camping Out Ideas and
Activities
Even though the cities
grow larger and larger and our natural playgrounds get continually
smaller, even though everyone has at his disposal switches and
faucets which produce light, water, heat, music, and entertainment,
and even though the police protect us from burglars and bad
neighbors and the firemen keep us from burning up-there still
remains one area where we are completely dependent upon ourselves, a
place where the laws of the prairie rule, where the enemy lurks,
where we have to live like Robinson Crusoe or the Swiss Family
Robinson, where we are on the warpath like the Sioux on the Little
Big Horn River or the Apaches from Salt River Canyon once were. This
place is the camping ground.
Wherever you live, you can find your own place to camp out. It might
be a forested wilderness, but it needn't be. A park, a public picnic
area-even your own back yard-can be transformed into a deserted
island or Robin Hood's glen, and when you go farther afield, during
summer vacation, perhaps, the possibilities are limitless.

Build Your Own Summer Camp or Cabin
- Jeffrey
Livingstone
There may be many reasons for wanting to build your own cabin. I'll
give you two that I think are fairly universal: You probably feel
sure that you can save money by doing the work yourself. And there
is a great deal of satisfaction in doing the work.
Saving money is important to all of us. If you plan your work
carefully, have a clear conception of what you are doing, and aren't
going to give up halfway through, I'm sure that you can save at
least a third of the contractor price for any of the cottages shown
in this book. It is possible to save much more. Perhaps that's all
the incentive you need.
Let's look at the second reason. As with so many other things in
life, the real satisfaction is in the doing. If you have never
lifted a piece of timber into place or nailed on a stretch of
siding, you've missed something. There's real satisfaction in seeing
the puzzle go together, in smelling fresh-cut wood, and in feeling
the materials that go into your cabin. You'll find yourself
inspecting the color and graining of the pieces you are working
with. Wood and stone will have new tones and high lights that you
never saw before.

3. The Canoeing Manual
-
Noel McNaught
THREE thousand miles by
canoe is not really a remarkable achievement. My journeys within the
last ten years have not made me an expert. Nevertheless, I wrote
this book, so largely based on personal experiences, to guide the
beginner in the art of canoeing and to show him what a wonderful
sport it is...Those who already know all about the subject will, I
hope, be suitably entertained when reading these pages about their
favourite recreation. They will notice that quite a lot of what I
have to say has never appeared before in book form.
Much as I like quiet
backwaters and dreamy canals, my real enthusiasm is for our
fast-flowing rivers. Here, if you seek what I sought, you will find
that a white-crested rapid is to the canoeist what the exhilaration
of a windy hill-top is to the walker.

4. Bucks and Bows
From a practical standpoint, there are no real
secrets about hunting the white tail deer with archery tackle. It is a
matter of education. One must know a lot about the bow. One must become
proficient with it. One must know a lot about the nature and habits of deer.
When these things are mastered, the hunter may have hopes of being
successful on occasion. It must not be assumed that the bow is as efficient
as the rifle. It is not. It has not the power, the range or the accuracy.
The hunter who chooses the bow is taking a handicap of 20 to 1. It follows,
therefore, that the archer is either crazy or the king of all optimists, or
so say the non-archers.

5. Pistol and Revolver Shooting
PISTOL shooting has been practiced ever since "
grained " gunpowder came into general use. It is only recently, how-ever, that
it has developed into a popular pas-time and has been recognized as a legitimate
sport. The useful and practical qualities of the pistol and revolver have been
developed al-most wholly during the last half-century. Before this period the
small arms designed to be fired with one hand were crude and inaccu-rate, and
were intended to be used only at short range as weapons of defense. The
single-barreled muzzle-loading pistol has, nevertheless, been part of the army
and navy officer's equipment since the sixteenth century.

6. Small
Game Hunting -
Francis E. Sell
This book deals with small game hunting, a sport which makes a
direct contribution to big game hunting skills. The relationship
between big and small game hunting is seldom stressed, and when it
is stressed, it is seldom that techniques are examined in detail to
show how small game hunting improves big game hunting skills. One
cannot be a mediocre squirrel hunter, and at the same time a
skillful deer hunter. The two techniques go together.
Of course, small game hunting is an end within itself. There is no
more satisfying hunting than taking squirrel in the autumn
hardwoods, cottontail rabbit when the first frost touches the upland
pastures with its magic, ruffed grouse in heavy cover and raccoon
along the river bottoms and swamps. Truly, one could spend a
lifetime in the small game coverts, finding the game always worthy
of the best hunting skills. They are our best teachers of woodcraft,
rifles and shotgun field techniques.
Rifles, handguns and shotguns considered in this book are those
which I have found well qualified for small game hunting by personal
use... I am going small game hunting-you come, too!

Lightweight
CAMPING EQUIPMENT and How to Make It,
including High Altitude Mountain Climbing Gear -
Gerry
Cunningham & Meg Hansson
Camping, whether done as an adjunct to fishing, hunting, mountain
climbing, skiing, or simply for its own sake, is a wonderful sport.
In fact, to paraphrase skiing's Otto Schniebs, "Camping is more than
just a sport, it is a way of life." It has its own challenges, its
own rewards, each vastly different, more basic, and hence very
refreshing change from our everyday hustle and bustle.
It is our fond hope that this book will
not only allow those of you who couldn't otherwise afford it to get
out into the open, but will also give those already indoctrinated a
few hints on how to do it more comfortably.

9. Practical Fly Fishing
- Larry St.John, Author
of "Practical Bait Casting"
The first fly fishers for bass
undoubtedly were the early residents of northern Kentucky, the same
good people who developed bait casting and brought the multiplying
reel to its present perfection. These men were of British ancestry,
educated and of more than ordinary abilities in many ways. Some of
them were well-to-do; all of them found ample leisure to indulge
their hobby.
We suppose that they, or their forebears, brought fly
tackle with them from their old homes and northern Kentucky, being
neither mountainous nor far enough north for trout, they no doubt
used this tackle for taking the bass that were plentiful in the
near-by streams. Dr. Henshall informs me that the first man to take
up fly fishing for bass seriously was J. L. Sage, the reel maker of
Frankfort, Ky., later of Lexington. He made a rod and reel
especially for fishing for black bass with flies as early as 1848...

10. Golf Can Be An Easy Game
- Joe Novak
This is a good time to tell you what an
easy game golf is, and what an enjoyable game it can be with a
correct understanding of the simple facts:
(a) A golf club will only do what the
player makes it do.
(b) Each club is designed for a specific purpose, and only when it
is applied to the ball in its true, natural state
will it produce the effect for which it was designed.
(c) Basically, there are only three clubs in golf:
-
The driver, shaped so that it
drives the ball on a low trajectory and is therefore used for
distance shots.
-
The iron, formerly called a lofter,
does exactly what the name implies-it lofts or lifts the ball.
This club is used to place the ball into position in certain
spots on the fairway or on the green.
-
The putter, which would be better
named a "roller," is so designed that it rolls the ball;
therefore, it is the club used to accomplish the very purpose of
the game-roll the ball into the cup.
But golfers are not limited or
restricted to these three clubs. Golfers get themselves a set of two
or three, more generally four, but sometimes even five, drivers.
They carry a set of three or six, most generally a set of eight,
irons. They usually add to this outfit a heavy weighted club to get
the ball out of deep grass or sand traps. And, the above clubs,
along with a putter, generally constitute the set of 14 clubs that a
golfer is permitted to use in tournament play.
Now, having such an outfit is a perfect waste of material unless
each and every club is swung in the same way so that the various
differences in the shapes of the clubs can each perform their
objectives. In other words, golf is an easy game to play, because
the player has a specific club or tool for each shot or effect that
is desired. All he has to do is to learn the one basic swing and
apply it to each club.

Manual of Ski Mountaineering
THE WIND HAD A MEAN EDGE on it as it curved to
cross the crest of the Sierra Nevada and found us there, two thousand feet above
the site of the Donner Party tragedy, trying to find out how to camp in deep
snow. It was deep snow that caught the Donners' immigrants back in 1846.
Thirty-six people died from cold and starvation, and more would have starved,
probably, but for cannibalism.
Our exposed spot on the crest was not where you would expect to find a father
pushing fifty, much less being pushed by his two teenage sons. But there we were
anyway, and by plan. We knew that California has come (or gone) quite a distance
since the Donner Party's ordeal. Skiing technique has progressed quite a bit too
since Snowshoe Thompson carried the trans-Sierra mails in the late 'fifties (the
eighteen-fifties, that is) on his eleven-foot skis and since his contemporaries
set 85-mile-per-hour speed records in the earliest American ski races on record.
More relevantly, we also knew that California has gone a fair distance in making
a sport of the best of what the Donners and Thompson learned-how to survive in
snow and how to ski safely through rugged, untracked terrain. The ice-edged wind
found us looking at the very peaks upon which that new sport, ski
mountaineering, had been adapted to California terrain by the Sierra Club and
then exported to help the armed forces in World War II...

12. How to
Play Soccer - Joe Hulme
NOTHING can stop the footballers of other days - those who have
grown too long in the tooth - from having their moments of real
enjoyment out of the game. They fix their carpet slippers: fill up
the old pipe, and as the smoke curls upwards they dream of a
wonderful time - somewhere in the past: when football was football,
and that sort of thing. From time to time I have enjoyed myself on
those lines, thinking aloud, with other former footballers around
me, about how much better the game used to be than it is now.
I have finished with that idle chatter about old times, however.
When I find myself among a party living in the glories of the past,
I now include myself out - pretty quickly. In general I think
football is as good as ever it was. In many respects it is
considerably better.
That isn't to say that it can't be improved still further. One thing
which delays the further improvement is the fact - and it is a fact
- that in the first-class game to-day there are too many round pegs
in square holes: too many fellows playing in positions other than
those to which their play, their ability, is best suited.

Baseball
For BOYS - John M.
Rosenburg
The young player of today is smartly uniformed and fully equipped. He plays on a
miniature Big League diamond ruled by uniformed umpires. He often plays before
large crowds and occasionally gets his name in a newspaper. The professional
recreation people say all this represents a commendable contrast to the pre-war
kid baseballer who did most of his playing in a vacant lot, or cow pasture, with
a ball that was more friction tape than ball. They add, however, that the
diamond programs have mushroomed so rapidly that baseball "education" - the
teaching of individual and team play-has, unwittingly to be sure, dragged
behind.
Since there has been a dearth of written material about the subject, it has been
the objective of the writer to produce a manual that will provide player,
manager, fan and father-coach with the kind of useful, practical informa-tion
that can be applied to amateur baseball, especially to those programs for 8 to
18 year-olds.
Most of the book is devoted to individual and team play with these two major
groupings broken down and presented in logical fashion and also in the order of
importance. For example, the three major skills-batting, running and throw-ing-are
given first. The specialized skills, such as pitching and catching, follow. Team
play, of course, is divided in two parts-offense and defense.

How To Teach Children To Swim
- Carolyn Kauffman
IT occurred
to me one hot spring day that the children-the four- to five-year-olds at the
nursery school-would enjoy cooling off in our family back-yard pool. They
certainly did, and because many of them were receptive to instruction, and there
was no pool available to them and because I had watched my own children in their
swimming lessons, I was inspired to teach very small children swimming.
Many of
the techniques used in the book to help children overcome their reluctance
about, or fear of, the water are equally effective in teaching small children of
a nursery school. The songs and games are the same songs and games the children
enjoyed at school; the experience with swings and balancing boards, tricycles
and sand piles, develops knowledge and confidence-both physical and
psychological -in some of the same ways that swimming does.

SURF-RIDING: It's Thrills and Techniques
- O.B.
Patterson
To know fully the thrills of life one must live! Life, being
identical with activity, both mental and physical, brings us to the
realization that the full-ness of living can only be experienced
through coordination and harmony of body, mind and spirit. Such
fullness of living, the surf-rider feels and knows. He gazes out
over the open sea in search of mountainous waves and, on sighting
one, tosses his board onto the surface of the water. Step-ping onto
the board with effortless sureness he soon drops full length upon
its deck and with a few deep strokes into the tropical water he
glides away from the shore out into the breakers that come crashing
over the coral reefs.
When you see him finally speeding along the surface of the wave
cutting across the swollen crest like the blade of a knife, racing
ahead to keep his board from being swallowed up by the ever-pursuing
breaker which speeds towards the shore, you will realize that you
have witnessed a superb ex-hibition of grace, rhythm, and
co-ordination. All phases of pleasant living call for this
harmonious adjustment, for without it we miss much of the beauty and
happiness that comes from knowing and doing the things worthwhile.
