All,
On Your Own in the Wilderness (out of print) by Townsend Whelen is an outstanding reference for anybody interested in thriving in the out of doors. Written 50 years ago, I was amazed how valid Whelens’ advice is today as it was when he put it to paper half a century ago. A few of the topics covered include backpacking in the Central American Jungle to traversing the Great White North on horse back, shooting, cooking, and in general the lost art of being a Woodman (Woodsperson). So, the next time you visit your local used book store look for it.
