How to Live in the Woods by Homer Halsted

You may take to the woods to dodge the sheriff or hunt buried treasure, for all I care; my interest is in your preparation for the excursion, declares Homer Halsted, author of this compact guide to camping. With Halsted as your advisor, you'll have everything you need for a successful expedition, whether it's an overnight hike or an extended outing that involves travel by canoe or even dog sled.

Halsted's encouraging, supportive, and humorous tone inspires confidence in readers of all experience levels, assuring you that you'll emerge from the woods happier than when you went in.

Homer Halsted was a Midwestern railroad man whose camping hobby led to countless expeditions throughout the United States. He stated his simple and practical purpose as to get my reader in and out of the woods as painlessly as possible.
