Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Woodcraft for Women A discussion of the causes of this inertia would lead us far afield in the history of woman. It is sufficient here to realize its existence and the fact that it makes more difficult adaptation to the woods for woman. It does explain, how ever, the large number of women who go on outings as passive observers rather than as active participants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Woodcraft Right here a question pops up before us. We are going on this trip far back into the virgin forest, and the trail is long and rough; how then can we transport an unwieldy crosscut saw and such fragile stuff as glass? We will remove the handles from the saw and bind over the tooth edge a grooved strip of wood. This makes it safe to carry, and while still somewhat unhandy it is the best we can do, for we cannot shorten its length. For the window, we will take only the glass - six sheets of eight. By ten or ten by fourteen size. Between each sheet we place a piece of corrugated packing board, and the whole is packed in a case.

At this place they built for two years, but left it for Raven Crag, within the Coom, where, after staying a year only, they returned to their ancient seat in Eagle Crag. Here they bred annually during their stay in Borrowdale. On the loss of its mate, the other eagle left the district, but returned in the following spring with a fresh one. This pair built during fourteen years, but finally abandoned Borrowdale for Eskdale. Here again they were disturbed, and the female being afterwards shot, the male ﬂew off and returned no more.

This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Woodcraft and Indian Lore For over twenty-five years I have been giving the talks and demonstrations that are gathered together in this book. Many Of them have appeared in magazines or in the birch-bark Roll that has come out annually for ten years. But this is the first time in which a comprehensive collection has been made Of the activities, customs, laws, and amusements that have been developed in my camps. Some of the related subjects I have treated at too great length for enclosure in one book. Of this class are the Life Histories Of Northern Animals, Animal Stories, Sign Language and Forestry, which appear as separate works. All are merely parts of a scheme that I have always considered my life work, namely, the development or revival of Woodcraft as a school for Manhood. By Woodcraft I mean outdoor life in its broadest sense and the plan has ever been with me since boyhood. Woodcraft is the first of all the sciences. It was Woodcraft that made man out Of brutish material, and Woodcraft in its highest form may save him from decay. As the model for outdoor life in this country I took the Indian, and have thus been obliged to defend him against the calumnies Of those who coveted his possessions. In giving these few historical extracts to show the Indian character, it must be remembered that I could give hundreds, and that prae tically all the travelers who saw with their own eyes are of one mind in the matter. Commissioner Robert G. Valentine, of the Indian Bureau, the first Indian Commissioner we have ever had who knew and sympathized with the Indians, writes after reading my manu script.

It is also essential to know how to lay out and work the material or stock. Carelessness or a lack of knowledge is invariably followed by a failure.

A bench with a vise is necessary for supporting the work, and while it is possible to use a crude home-made bench and vise, a bench such as is used in manual-training shops (fig. L) is more de sirable. These can now be purchased at a reasonable price, and with careful treatment will last a lifetime. When their permanent value is considered, the first cost is a wise investment. The bench should be fastened to the oor by two lag-screws passing through the middle of the foot-pieces.

He was naked and without food and fire, living in caves and hollow trees, searching for fallen nuts under the trees and for fish and game in the streams and moun tains. He was ever hiding from stronger animals and always seeking an opportunity to attack weaker ones. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Camp Craft: Modern Practice and Equipment No one who studies man's beginnings in the light of modern research can doubt that Woodcraft was the earliest of our sciences. It was Woodcraft indeed that constructed man out of the crude and brutish stuff that was then the best live product of the earth. We can see a little of the process to-day in our children, just as we see the baby panther wear first the spotted coat of his long-past forebears, before he dons the brown of his older kin. And weightier yet it seems to me that Woodcraft, in its broad entirety, more than any other activity, is calculated to save our species from decay. The Camp Life is the climax of all Woodcraft, and the man who leads us there - who blazes the trail, who teaches us the fords that grow less fearsome as we follow - is a heal-worker for our race. Many a man and woman, I have heard say or imply, that they "would like to go camping, but they are afraid." Of what? Vague fears of animals? Unknown terrors? or very definite fears of hardships that they believe are an essential part of it? They are not well informed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birch-Bark Roll of the Woodcraft Indians Containing Their Constitution, Laws, Games, and Deeds This is a time when the whole nation is turning toward the outdoor life, seeking in it the physical regeneration so needful for continued national existence - is waking to the fact long known to thoughtful men, that those live longest who live nearest to the ground, that is, who live the simple life of primitive times, divested, however, of the evils that ignorance in those times begot. Half our diseases are in our minds and half in our houses. We can safely leave the rest to the physicians for treatment. Sport is the great incentive to outdoor life; nature study is the intellectual side of sport. Camping is the simple life reduced to actual practice, as well as the culmination of the outdoor life. Camping has no great popularity to-day, because men have the idea that it is possible only after an expensive journey to the wilderness, and women that it is inconvenient, dirty, and dangerous. These are errors. They have arisen because camping as an art is not understood. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

His busy life as a civil engineer, surveyor, and work in the open gave him no opportunity to develop his dreams, but at the end of a five year tour of the United States and Canada, made over fifty years ago, he drifted into New York City and was shocked beyond expression by the almost total lack of breathing spaces for our boys, in the greatest of American cities. True, it then had Central Park; but fifty years ago Central Park was out among the goats, only to be reached by a long and tiresome horse car journey.
