"On Your Own in the Wilderness" by Townsend Whelen and Bradford Angier in 1958 (I have a treasured hardcover of the latter, from the first run I think).


Finally was able to track down a 1958 copy of this excellent reference. It certainly looks out outdoor living from a totally different perspective than anything I have seen published in the last 30 years at least.

Well worth the time to track it down. Just be ready to play some games with idiot sellers on amazon who feel the price should be >$2000.00 Remember, there are other seller conglomerates (ebay and alibris.)
