E-text prepared by Joseph Gray
"Woodcraft" by George Washington Sears is a practical guide on outdoor skills and camping, likely written in the late 19th century. The text discusses various techniques and tips for enjoying nature to its fullest, emphasizing the importance of proper preparation and equipment for outdoor activities such as fishing and camping. It is tailored to those who appreciate the natural world and are seeking a way to escape the stress of modern life. The opening of the book introduces the author's perspective on the overworked American society and highlights the necessity of relaxation and recreation in nature. Sears provides insights into the common pitfalls of outdoor enthusiasts, such as overpacking and poorly composed campfires, and warns against the tendency to become overwhelmed by the demands of modern life. He encourages a more straightforward and thoughtful approach to outdoor adventures, advocating for light packing and planning to ensure a more enjoyable and fulfilling experience in the wilderness.
