Camping and Woodcraft is an American classic published by Horace Kephart in 1916, detailing the practical skill-sets needed to endure the harsh conditions of the wilderness, and to make that experience more enjoyable to the amateur outdoorsman. The work is a revised and expanded edition of Kephart's 1906 Camping and Woodcraft, a pocket-manual published by the author with the expressed purpose of rendering practical advice and skills to those who travel with minimal gear in places where there are no roads.[1] The 1906 printing of the pocket-manual passed through 7 editions in the space of ten years.[1]
Kephart's work, as an instructive manual on where and how to camp, follows in the footsteps of E.R. Wallace's Descriptive Guide to the Adirondacks and Handbook of Travel (1875).[2] Much of the material, however, used in the compilation of Kephart's book is based on the author's own first-hand experiences in the wilderness and which he transcribed in the field.[1]
