George Washington Sears, better known under his pen name, Nessmuk, was among the late 19th century's most accomplished writers for Forest and Stream magazine (known today as Field and Stream). This short book, originally published under the magazine's auspices, details how to "smooth it" (not rough it!) in the wilderness he so loved. His small stature and compromised health made light, streamlined travel an essential, and those methods continue to be practiced by campers, hikers, and backpackers of all backgrounds and abilities to this day. A true classic, Woodcraft and Camping's tales of wilderness adventure, tinged with its author's subtle humor, will resonate with anyone keen on venturing into the great outdoors.
