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.

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.

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.

Indian Games -
Andrew McFarland Davis
“When the sides are equal the players will occupy an entire afternoon without
either side gaining any advantage; at other times one of the two will gain the
two games that they need to win. In this game you would say to see them run that
they looked like two parties who wanted to fight. This exercise contributes much
to render the savages alert and prepared to avoid blows from the tomahawk of an
enemy, when they find themselves in a combat. Without being told in advance that
it was a game, one might truly believe that they fought in open country.
Whatever accident the game may cause, they attribute it to the chance of the
game and have no ill will towards each other. The suffering is for the wounded,
who bear it contentedly as if nothing had happened, thus making it appear that
they have a great deal of courage and are men.”
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.

Hunting with the Bow and Arrow - Saxton Pope
A number of shafts having been similarly prepared, the Indian was ready to
feather them. A feather he called pu nee. In fledging arrows Ishi used eagle,
buzzard, hawk or flicker feathers. Owl feathers Indians seem to avoid, thinking
they bring bad luck. By preference he took them from the wings, but did not
hesitate to use tail feathers if reduced to it. With us he used turkey pinions.
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.

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!

The Amateur Poacher -
Richard Jefferies
The following pages are arranged somewhat in the order of time, beginning with
the first gun, and attempts at shooting. Then come the fields, the first hills,
and woods explored, often without a gun, or any thought of destruction: and next
the poachers, and other odd characters observed at their work. Perhaps the idea
of shooting with a matchlock, or wheel-lock, might, if put in practice, at least
afford some little novelty.
Our Vanishing Wild Life
-
William T. Hornaday
Quite unintentionally on his part, Man, the arch destroyer and the most
predatory and merciless of all animal species except the wolves, has rendered a
great service to all the birds that live or nest upon the ground. His relentless
pursuit and destruction of the savage-tempered, strong-jawed fur-bearing animals
is in part the salvation of the ground birds of to-day and yesterday. If the
teeth and claws had been permitted to multiply unchecked down to the present
time, with man's warfare on the upland game proceeding as it has done, scores
upon scores of species long ere this would have been exterminated.
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.
