His classic work "Woodcraft" provides a valuable and useful guide on all aspects of outdoor living and survival; from camp construction, fishing, hunting, needed tools and equipment, fire building, cooking and much more.

"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.
